Nice Coverage
Although the coverage is fine, this product takes too many steps to use. I have to activate the color by rubbing my hand together, then after application I have to wash my hands thoroughly. I can't just use an application sponge. I probably won't buy this again.

As my sole sunscreen no. As makeup, yes.
This does not work for me as a face sunscreen. I am not one of those people who measures out the teaspoon or whatever, but I still like to make sure I have adequate spf coverage...and with this sunscreen that resulted in my face looking waaaaaay more makeup-y than I wanted and kinda greasy...well, not greasy but it just felt like I had this kinda gross filmy layer on my skin. To be fair, I am not a makeup/foundation person. However, I have found that this works great when I use it on top of my dedicated face sunscreen in a very small amount (like two pea sizes) just to give me a hint of color and evening of skin tone. So I guess, when I treat it like foundation it works lol.

Colorscience Sunforgettable Total protection
I didn’t like it. I bought the medium color and gave to my skin a dull appearance.

Good color but greasy
I have combination skin and have been trying desperately to find a tinted SPF with a matte finish. The tint blended perfectly but it left me looking immediately shiny and greasy, not just a “dewy glow”. I even put setting powder over it to decrease the shine but that only helped a little. In a few hours I was even more shiny. I normally get oily on my forehead and cheeks but this made me look greasy all over my face. It’s a shame because it would’ve been nice to put this on and not have to wear foundation. I returned it and am resuming my search for a matte SPF

Not for me
The finish was unnatural looking. It left a grayish, cloudy finish. Unfortunately, it did not work for me. I went back to the original Sunforgettable sunscreen, which I love.

Prefer the original
This makes me look a little too pale and is quite shiny. The original provides tint but doesn't make you look washed out like this one. I think it's a good product, I love Colorescience I just prefer their original to the flex spf.

Funny color
A bit too oily for my combination skin. It was fine the first hour and then I felt the need to wash my face. Interesting concept and I am sure a good sunblock hit the color is too yellow for me. I did not care for the glow either so now I have two products I won’t wear. I will stick with the original and the Matte.

Mixed bag
I love this brand and couldn't wait to try this new sunscreen! It is mineral, SPF 50 and PA ++++! It really is a great formulation. It didn't spread on my face as smoothly as expected however, and created immediate flakiness wherever my skin was slightly dry. The Fair color was too light, and the next shade, Medium, was too dark (that's a lot of $ spent to not be able to use on my face!). I think this may be excellent for someone with normal to oily skin who is looking for more coverage in a sunscreen and can find a suitable shade.

Decent sunscreen
This sunscreen offers great UVB and UVA sun protection and I like how it perfectly matches my skin color. That being said, for my combination skin, I don't think it's a good summer sunscreen because it leaves a shiny, oily finish (without ever really drying down). It got shinier and oiler as the day progressed. After reapplying twice a day, it didn't feel heavy, but it didn't feel as lightweight as my favorite tinted mineral sunscreen. I think this would work for someone with dry skin, or it could be a great winter sunscreen with moisturizing benefits.
