Reviews For Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield SPF 50 PA++++
Just OK
I was not a huge fan of this Glow Sunscreen. It's very thick and no matter how much I blend it in (I started using a beauty blender), I feel like it just stays on top of my skin and clings to every pore.

Not For Medium Tan Skin
Its too pale for my skin tone. I would not recommend this sunscreen for medium between tan skin. However, its very hydrating great for winter. Hopefully, they can come with medium tan sunscreens.

Decent sunscreen, beware the "Glow"
I have very sensitive, rosacea prone skin. Also, I am allergic to most chemical sunscreens so rely on mineral/physical sunscreens. This one is ok. It works well as a sunscreen, although I do need to reapply more frequently than some others. I personally cannot wear makeup over it - the makeup slides around and creases - so I save this for outdoor activities rather than daily wear. I ordered the "glow" thinking it sounded like a great summer option. Well, at least on me, it gives my skin a very shiny appearance. Up close it looks fine, from a few feet away in the sunshine, it looks like I'm completely wet with sweat. Not the look I was going for. (If that's the look YOU'RE going for, this will be perfect!) Also, if you do sweat a little, it will sweat/rub off onto your clothing very easily. I don't HATE it so will use it up, but definitely won't reorder.

Didn't like
The feel of it wasn't good, but then I was looking for a powder SPF

Too heavy
For me this is too heavy and is little too "glowy"

Good not great
I would spend the extra money and get the Flex version as it has a wider range of shades. This one is too pink for me.

Intense bronze
I bought the bronze shade thinking it would enhance by medium/tan/olive undertone complexion. I first used it by itself and it was very pigmented and darkened my skin tone in an unnatural way. I did not think this would be an issue as my skin color is not light. I now use a small amount mixed with Colorescience flex in the medium shade or just as a bronzer. The intensity of the color did not work for me. I would like to try the glow shade in the future.

Will not buy again
The color is right for the perimeter of my face but too orange for the rest of my face. It transfers easily too. Dewy finish.

Dark
I had high hopes for this tinted sunscreen. I love the feel of it and it goes on well, but the color was way too orangey for me.

ok
I wanted to love this product but sadly I can't say that I do. I'm giving it 3 stars because when I mixed a small amount with my foundation it did give my skin a nice glow, however, using it alone wasn't for me. It also stayed on my hands despite washing them and transferred to my clothes. I love Colorescience - the science and the products, but I'll stick to the powder sun protection from now on.

Great if you like a metallic look
I got this in the Glow tint. Reading the reviews, I expected to love it, but alas I did not. It is super reflective, almost metallic. I looked like someone dipped me in rose gold paint. If that's a look you like, you will love this. For me, it is aging and not natural. The feel was also a bit sticky for me. I tried mixing it with a more matte sunscreen that I have, but even that didn't do much for the metallic sheen. This is the first return I have done with LovelySkin, they are wonderful and I will order something else!

Perfect except niacinamide
I'm conflicted on how to rate this - this sunscreen is PERFECT, but I can't use it due to the niacinamide. You'll notice there's a warning on the product page against folks sensitive to niacinamide. I am one of those. I occasionally can get away with it if the concentration is low, which is why I tried it anyway. Unfortunately for me, the concentration is high enough that I was very inflamed and covered in rash/breakout after use. I would LOOOOVVVVEEEE if you could make a version without niacinamide for all of us folks who are sensitive/allergic to it. This sunscreen is so so wonderful. Great application, nice satin finish without looking greasy, tint was perfect for me (my complexion is neutral fair). All in all, it felt like my own skin (but better) even after a liberal application, which is all I want in a sunscreen. I don't wear makeup and need a SS that looks and feels great on its own, and this does. I've tried about 20 mineral sunscreens and this is THE best one. PLEASE PLEASE MAKE A VERSION WITHOUT NIACINAMIDE!

Glitter .... oh my!
This line is amazing but the glow tint is not that great. Maybe for the body, not for the face. I gave it 3 stars instead of 1 because it does feel nice on the skin but it's almost glittery looking. If you wear foundation over your sunscreen and want a glow, this may work, I would advise against it if you plan to wear it alone.

Nice for a Mineral SPF
A nice product-it sits on skin well, isn’t too shiny and doesn’t catch dry patches like some mineral SPF’s do. The tint is a light, cool-toned peachy color, so for many it will still leave a cast. I personally use this sparingly as a tint over my normal sunscreen and it works nice at evening my skin tone.

Good protection
First time using this brand so I wasn’t sure what to expect. The product is very thin and on the watery side. It’s also a very light color tint that can look a little white but I would rather that then to dark. I love that it doesn’t dry my skin out like some others I have bought in the past. I let in set for a few minutes before apply any makeup.

Mixed feelings
I’m having mixed feelings about this. My skin: combination to dry, sensitive, rosacea Pros: - great color match to average Asian skin - subtle glow Cons: - glowy but drying at the same time - the sparkle settles in your pores and wrinkles which makes them more prominent - sparkle can be irritating

Drying
I really wanted to love this product but it dries my skin out so bad. Today I've added rosehip oil on top of the sunscreen, it did help a little but I'm not sure if this dilutes the effectiveness of the product.

Pretty glow but allergic
I never really know when my skin will be sensitive with a product and while this sunscreen gave me a nice dramatic glow I was allergic to it. I didn’t have the chance to try it under makeup but it probably would have been such a nice primer to the skin. Unfortunately I did have to return it but LovelySkin customer service was super helpful with the return but I did have to pay shipping to return it but all in all not a total disappointment. I usually really enjoy colorescience!

A bit greasy feeling
I use the product but wish there was an in between color. I mix the glow with the darkest color to get it right. The coverage is nice but feels very greasy/oily. I won't purchase again but like the idea of this product and will look for something similar next time.
