So-so
I like the sample so I ordered right away. Although it stays put during workout and is sweat resistance, using this product everyday caused clogged pores and breakouts. Will not reorder.

Nice coverage
Great coverage, and the cream texture is nice. I'm not a fan of it not matching my face color and it sitting in my wrinkles. I can see the color in my wrinkles.

Light is still not right shade for me
I was so excited to see that a shade (Light) was added between Fair and Medium. I have been mixing those two together to get my perfect shade. But, Light is still a tad too dark, so I continue to mix in a little Fair. Light also seems so much greasier than the other two, and seems to go toward orange after a little while. Still, the Flex formula is the best I have found so far for a tinted sunscreen that gives good enough coverage that I can use it for my foundation. The less layers I have to use, the better.

Nice idea but not great
It’s too thick. The coverage is good but it is heavy on the face. It leaves a film and doesn’t set well. Hours after putting it on it still comes off on Kleenex.

Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Flex SPF 50
I am on a quest to find a tinted sunscreen that doesn’t make me drier than I already am, and to get a good skin match. Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Flex SPF 50 would be excellent for me if the shade matched better. I am fair but fair in this brand made me pale. My second issue was it seems thick., but it’s possible I applied too much . Now for positives: I would try this again in another shade. This looks good on my skin other than looking pale with the fair shade. No dryness with this product, feels good on my skin. No obvious smell that was bothersome. This one is still on my list to re-try in a darker shade!! Lovelyskin is a wonderful place to purchase skincare!!

Good coverage
A little too much coverage for my taste, looks like foundation...but otherwise no complaints

I'm not sure what to think
This may be a little too foundation-like for me, I guess I prefer more sheer options. This one seems to settle into my pores and that will not work during summer. I'll give it a couple more tris, maybe reduce the overall amount applied? I may end up returning.

Too fair
This is a good high protection sunscreen but the shade fair was just too light. The next shade up was too dark/muddy on me. If they came out with a shade in between the two I’d try it again. It is a little greasy and gets worse throughout the day so I wouldn’t recommend it for oily skin people.

Nice texture but transfers a lot
The overall texture was nice, but I ended up returning it because it transferred a lot. Left some white cast but nothing that couldn’t be remediated with some setting powder.

Colorscience Flex sunscreen
I was so excited about this sun screen, it got so many favorable reviews. Upon application it looked gorgeous, dewy and evened my skin tone. Sadly, after a couple days use it was a no go for my skin. I had an allergic reaction and broke out so immediately had to request a return which I’m still waiting on. I believe it’s a great sunscreen, just not for my sensitive skin.

Heavy coverage
This sunscreen is great of you want more of a makeup feel to your coverage. It can be drying so would not recommend by itself for drier skin. Did not irritate eyes or cause rosacea flare.

Meh
The product adjusts to a really nice color, but feels extremely thick and opaque on the skin. I feel like i have to use less product so it doesn't look like a mask and is able to blend, but then I fear i'm not getting proper sunscreen coverage. Product is also somewhat drying. There are much better alternatives.

Goes on smoothly
The consistency is not too thick or too thin so it goes on smoothly. I bought the fair color, and it is still a little too "orangy" for me, but it blends well with a little water added.

This is for my fellow olive girls
I liked the formula and wish this would’ve worked for my skin tone, it’s too orange for medium olive undertones. it didn’t blend into my skin and appeared patchy. I also found that this kept oxidizing on me, I'm sure it’s good if you’re a warm or peach undertone but I found it too obvious on me :(

Great coverage, color is off
I love color science products, and I’m a medium in all of their products but this is ridiculously dark. It is not the color shown in the pictures on the colorscience site. I don’t know if this batch is just strangely dark but unfortunately it was a waste of my money. I’m gonna have to buy the lighter shade. Otherwise, the coverage is great and I love the product, just not the color.

Finish is too shiny.
This is a very good product if it were not for the finish. The shiny finish shows every imperfection. I would prefer something more matt.

Almost perfect!
My skin type: Dry - sensitive I did such a deep research until I could find the perfect zero-white-cast, derma approved sunscreen, and this was the one. I tried it, looked like a light makeup, so perfect... until I sweat :( my skin started itching uncontrollably and getting red. I just had to wash it off. I was 100% sure it was the sunscreen because I don't wear makeup or anything else, but just to make sure I tried it 3 more times... nope, same result. I live in a tropical country and I work out regularly so unfortunately this will NOT work for me. But hey, if you don't ever sweat or don't have sensitive skin I guess this could be good for you

Disappointed
Not as expected. The reviews made me purchase it, but is not good as others said. I have some dark spot in my face that I like to cover it and this product needs more than two applications for that. My skin is oily and I think is not good for me. Maybe in dry skin will work better. Is my first and last purchase of this product.

Difficult to blend
Preferred the colorescience classic sunscreen over the tinted version. I tried the fair and medium - fair was a bit too light (and left a white case) while medium was a bit too dark (and left an orange cast). I found the consistency difficult to blend and ended up looking cakey. I preferred the classic sunscreen for the blendability.
