Reviews For SkinMedica Essential Defense Mineral Shield Broad Spectrum SPF 32 - Tinted
Great mineral sunscreen
I have tried a number of mineral sunscreens for my sensitive skin and love this one. It is absolutely unscented (a must for me) and the tint blends easily into my fair skin. It also leaves a nice matt finish and looks fine at the end of the day. Highly recommend!

Love the finish
No cast on my medium to dark skin. Not glowy. Skin like finish.

Wonderful
I LOVE this formulation in both the tinted and untinted formulas for winter when my skin is more dry. This is a luxurious sunscreen with great ingredients and moisturizing in a way mineral sunscreens rarely are. Not a lot of coverage, but the tint is a decent enough color on my fair skin, although it mostly makes my dark spots more pronounced. Doesn’t matter, this is a wonderful product from SkinMedica. I’ll stick to the untinted in the future, though.

Love it
I have ordered this tinted cream many times. I love the way it feels alone on my face and I recently mix it into my foundation for a smoother application. As with many of SkinMedica products, it performs very well.

4-5 stars
This is one of my favorite sunscreens, but I'm still on the hunt for my holy grail! I do wish it was just a shade lighter and had a slightly higher SPF. It spreads well, tolerates a serum, and even a light moisturizer underneath it. It dries fairly well, with a slight shine that's not quite as offensive as most other sunscreens. I have normal to dry skin and this works well. If you have dry patches (from Tretinoin), this might accentuate them slightly, but it doesn't seem to cause further dryness.

Best Suncreen I've ever used
I've been using this sunscreen for about 2 years now and won't use anything else. I love that it's lightly tinted so that it doesn't make you look while or purple like most sunscreens do. it's so lightly tinted my husband even uses it.

Meh
I purchased this after a YouTuber recommended it. Didn’t feel like the tint did anything for my skin and it was to oily. Will not purchase again.

Nice and Smooth
I would definitely recommend this product! It goes on really smooth. I gave it 4 stars because of light cover. Nice under makeup. No clumping. Good value..

Multi-tasker
SkinMedica Essential Defense Mineral Shield -Tinted is an elegant cream with a neutral tint that should work for most people. It gives a light coverage and can take the place of foundation for everyday activities -- unless a more "made-up" look is desired. I rated it 4 instead of 5 stars because the SPF (as compared to the untinted version with SPF 35) dropped to 32.

Light and matte
This sunscreen is so light and easy to apply. Great tint, and matte finish, but no dry. It works well as a primer under makeup.

Blends into the skin!
I was pleasantly surprised with this mineral sunscreen. It had a pleasant texture, no odd aromas, and it blended into the skin with ease. This is especially great for sensitive skin because there is no excess rubbing to blend it in.

Great coverage and protection
I love this cream! It's smooth when I put it on and there's just enough color coverage to hide any minor blemishes on my face. Makes a great tinted moisturizer.

Favorite Sunscreen
This is my favorite sunscreen! It goes on so smooth and really evens out my skin Most days I don't need make up with it But when I do wear makeup it doesn't feel heavy underneath.

Dewy Glow
I tried this and a Colorscience Tint du Soleil. The SkinMedica Mineral Shield works very well and is the better option for me. Color, and coverage are great. I love it for my older skin because it finishes with a dewy glow, and hides my larger pores!

LOVE SKINMEDICA PRODUCTS
The only thing I'd say would improve this sunscreen is if it came in a higher tinted SPF; it's value is 32, which is fine since it's recommended to use 30 and above, but I tend to like a higher SPF value. However, it goes on like a dream and works well with my many other SkinMedica products. It is also more affordable than many other brands.

Perfect consistency
All other facial spf’s I’ve tried are too greasy for my skin. I look really shiny and they never dry down. This is perfect. It just feels like a moisturizer, and is not oily at all. My makeup goes over it perfectly.

Light
It leaves a very light finish to the skin. Very sheer with a moisturizer look.

One of my all time favorite SPFs
This is so creamy and easy to apply that sometimes I use it as a primer for my foundation even if it's night time. I have dry skin and this gives me moisture and SPF at the same time. If I'm going out hiking then I look for something with a sweatproof rating, this is more of my everyday, going to the office or out running errands SPF. I've also recently read that tinted SPF formulas give more protection against blue light from computers. I sit in front of a computer all day so I like that benefit.
