NICE DISCOVERY
This is a good multi-purpose product. It's a sunscreen with a high spf plus it serves as a smooth makeup base. It's a beach and city staple!

Not good for dark skin
Left a major cast on my face. I legit looked purple I couldn’t even keep it on to see if it had the mattefying effect.

My favorite sunscreen!
I can't be bothered with coverup, but tinted sunscreen is my jam! I actually mix this shade with the untinted from COTZ, as the color is too dark/orange for my skin on its own. Half and half looks great though, and I absolutely love the coverage - it goes on smoothly and subtly evens out skin tone. You can add more for more sun protection and more coverage. It does tend to rub off on the collars of my coats in winter, sometimes I use a bit of sunscreen powder to "set" it and that seems to work.

Oxidizes
Love the texture and feel (silky soft!) Has the perfect amount of coverage. Excellent for my sensitive, rosacea and fungal acne skin. Only problem other than the price is that it oxidizes. I'm fair with cool pink tones and this sunscreen turns my skin slightly orange. I'm giving this product a 4 star rating because I haven't found an affordable alternative.

Very pleased.
I’ve searched for a long time to find a daily facial sunscreen like this! I relied on positive reviews and so would be remiss to not share how over the moon I am to have found this product. It ticks all of my boxes; mineral based, high SPF, sheer/non-oily, non-irritating and non-sticky. I have had breakouts with certain sunscreens, others have felt too oily or sticky to wear, but this feels so good on my face and has been so gentle on my skin. I’m so happy I can wear SPF on my face without second thought to any irritation. I’ve been using the product for four weeks and just reordered - it’s not running low yet but I don’t want to be without this for a day. Since I started using it I’ve actually not worn any facial makeup, as I really do like the tint effect. It’s subtle but just enough to even the skin. INCREDIBLE! It washes off pretty easily; I wouldn’t say it’s drying as such but I do feel that the more moisturized my face is from the night before (PM moisturizer/serum), the easier it goes on to the skin. My face was really dry one day from the cleanser I use and forgetting to moisturize and it was a little hard to rub the sunscreen into my skin. But I think this is a great motivation to remember to moisturize! My one question mark is around whether this would work for darker skin tones. I am Caucasian, olive skinned, but I am always mindful of supporting companies that embrace the diversity of skin colors so if this wasn’t to work with brown/black skin this would be a great shame and would encourage me to look to support another company more representative.

A Barrier Against Shine!
This sunscreen offers a lightweight, oil free protection against sunburn, but what makes it special is the oil absorbent properties which leaves you with a matte finish without the white glow. Other than maybe being a bit too drying (mix it with a bit of oil free moisturizer) this is great product to use daily.

Skin of color Friendly
This is perfect for my medium dark skin. I have oily skin and it mattifies my T-zone perfectly. It also applies great if I'm wearing powder or liquid foundation. No white cast for me which is what I need since all I can do is mineral sunscreen due to sensitivity. I highly recommend.

Such a great product
This is such a nice product. The tint is perfect. I put this on every morning. It has an awesome blurring effect which is wonderful for normal to oily skin. I use it both independently or under make up. Definitely recommend.

Nice Mette finish, good coverage, works well alone or as primer under makeup.
I have dry skin and can wear it in the summer without moisturizer.

Love this sunscreen
It’s light textured and the color fits my light-medium cool skin tone. It looks a little orange going on but it ends up being a neutral beige color and evens out my skin tone nicely. It feels exactly like the primer it is. I always have the feeling it isn’t working because it feels so light but it does work. I have a backup and that says something. I must say it’s not the only one I have in my rotation. The cost is a little high for me. But it is pretty divine.

Good Sunscreen for the Price
Nice tinted sunscreen for summer. It’s too dark for my skin during winter, I have a light/medium complexion, but I knew that before purchasing. It does leave a shine, but a little powder fixes that (which I do need to reapply throughout the day). Overall, not bad for the price!

Nice blurring effect
This goes on like mousse and becomes invisible --but better--on my medium skin. It has a blurring effect that makes my pores less visible. I appreciate that it's not as light as so many other tinted sunscreens. I use this on my son too and I've noticed his mask tan lines fading so even though I'm not around to reapply, it seems to last longer than other sunscreens.

Highly Recommended
In general I have very reactive, sensitive facial skin and eyes, but I have found this to be a very nice and non-irritating sunscreen. Goes on easily and smoothly. No cast whatsoever. It has a dark tint which I was a little worried about when I first saw it, but it blends completely into my fair skin. Does not cause me any breakouts or clogged pores. Gives a very slight coverage, which means for more casual days I can just wear this over my moisturizer, and skip foundation. Also works well for my husband, who has a much darker skin tone than me. Only drawback is that it doesn't completely wash off with my gentle cream cleanser, however I find that this hasn't caused any breakouts or problems, so I just accept that maybe a little of this sunscreen remaining over washing is ok. Perhaps for others with a foaming cleanser, this won't even be an issue. Recently went for a 2 hour sweaty bike ride in the midday sun and thanks to this sunscreen I didn't get burnt at all. Not even slightly pink.

Goldilocks
Unfortunately, CoTZ's Face Prime & Protect presents a Goldilocks and the Three Bears problem--the Non-Tinted is too light (too great a whitecast) and this Tinted is too dark (for my fair skin). However, even if the tints are unworkable, I still give this 4 Stars because--as someone acne- and sebaceous filament-prone, I can write with certainty that neither has EVER broken me out.

Skin perfecting
As an outdoor girl, I use a lot of sunscreen and I carefully read up on products to use on my face because I am particular about how the product feels and looks on my skin. This sunscreen is at the top of my list so far and works well when applied over serums and other skin care products.

Reef safe, water resistant sheer tint
I like the fact that it is reef safe and it is water resistant. I haven't tried it in the ocean yet, but it is supposed to stay on for 80 minutes, rather than 40 minutes like most other water resistant tinted sunscreens. It is unscented. The coverage looks slightly orange but quickly disappears and does not cover or conceal my sun spots as much as I'd like. It is more of a matte finish and is supposed to be a face primer but initially bought it to wear surfing.

Amazing product.
I have combination (more so leaning to dry) skin with eczema and rosacea. All of the other sunscreens I've used in the past have flared up one condition or the other; however, this particular product makes my skin feel and look great. I haven't experienced any adverse reactions while wearing this; my skin is thoroughly protected with no irritation whatsoever. This also makes your face look as if it was airbrushed (thanks to the silicones in it), so that's a bonus. Now, onto my opinions on the colour. I'm extremely pale, so I do notice that this sunscreen makes me look a bit orange. To combat and completely negate this, I mix this in with the non-tinted version of this sunscreen to achieve an accurate skin tone match for me. This is overall an amazing product.
