Reviews For ISDIN Photo Eryfotona Ageless Ultralight Tinted Mineral SPF 50 Sunscreen
Good spf
Good but not great. Was curious how this matched up to the colorscience tinted SPF, and the coverage is light - need medium at least to replace. Love the small size option, but probably won't repurchase.

Mix with ISDIN Eryfotona Actinica Daily for lighter skin tones
I picked up my first bottle of Eryfotona Ageless at my dermatologists office in Austin, TX three years ago and have been buying it since. The color blended in beautifully with my skin tone at the time, but I moved to the North East and it’s now too dark. I’m between a skin type 2 and 3, but more so type 2 (I can burn, freckle and then tan), nearly ivory during the winter with pinkish undertones. Combination skin. I now mix it with the Acitinca Daily SPF to match my skin. I recommend buying both if you’re afraid it may be too dark. They won’t spoil if you’re using them daily and will last a while! I use at least a teaspoon every single day and one bottle will last five months. This goes on kind of greasy and shiny, which is nice when you want to control product distribution. It sinks into your skin and becomes slightly more matte, but during the summer you may still need a powder to reduce the shine. I don’t experience this during the winter/dry months. ISDIN’s tinted sunscreen appears shinier on my skin than their non-tinted version, which has a natural finish. Both make me appear glow-y! It doesn’t burn my eyes. I like to apply sunscreen as close to the eye as possible, and so many med grade sunscreens that are formulated for the face still burn my sensitive eyes. I have never had that issue with this, especially when sweating or swimming. Doesn’t dry out my skin, nor does it feel greasy or weighty. It also improves my skin quality. I use vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, peptide cream, and retinol creams at night. However, when I don’t use this sunscreen I see a visible difference in skin health. It truly does reverse some of the damage left by the sun. I give this one less star because you really do need to apply this frequently if you’re swimming or active in the sun. I’m talking like, every 45 minutes to an hour for true protection, and that can get expensive.

Goes on smooth
I don’t love the scent of this product but it goes on smoothly and evenly and has a light/medium coverage. I wear it alone as my sunscreen.

Nice tinted mineral sunscreen with few drawbacks
Pros: -Lightweight, thin consistency that's easy to spread, rub in, and re-apply -Natural satin-matte finish - not greasy but also not drying (my skin leans dry) -High SPF and good value for amount of product in bottle (especially if purchased on sale) Cons: -Tint transfers to clothing easily -Tint is slightly too orange/deep for fair skin tones -Has fragrance that does not dissipate

So far so good with my acne prone skin
Love the tint of this with my olive tan skin. It works with my very sensitive acne prone skin so far. Been using almost a month. Sometimes it does feel a little warm/stingy, but it goes away and it is only sometimes, probably when I've used a bit too many actives. I really wish it didn't have fragrance as I try to use fragrance free products due to my reactive skin. I'd give it 5 stars if it was fully fragrance free. It also works well with my very very oily skin in humid Hawaii. It is really expensive on my teacher's budget, but if I can get it on sale and remember that it is double the size of most sunscreens, I feel it is worth it. It took a long time of hearing about this sunscreen on youtube dermatologists and then finally takin the plunge and buying it (the sale enticed me to finally do it) and I'm really glad I did. I'm interested to see how it work when I travel to visit family in a very arid part of Oregon I grew up in. Make a fragrance free tinted version and I think this would be my holy grail.

Isdin, make it fragrance free
Great sunscreen, lightweight, feels nice on skin. Took one star off for having fragrance.

A little too orange for cool skin tones
I love the untinted version of this sunscreen, so I thought I'd give this one a try. Like the untinted version, this one spreads easily, feels light, and leaves a matte finish. But I have light skin that is on the cool side of neutral, and this sunscreen looks a little orange on me. That said, I have found that when I mix it with the untinted version, the tint is okay, almost like a bronzer.

My dermatologist recommends this
Our dermatologist recommends ISDIN and EltaMD and believes that tinted formulas give better sun protection. None of the tints match my skin tone exactly, but they all blend in eventually. For me, this has better sun protection than the EltaMD tinted products although I like the tint of the EltaMD products better.

Good Product
The color is perfect but it is a little runny. It takes a bit more blending, but it works well. I would buy this product again.

Feels nice but a touch orangey
This is a great sunscreen, recommended by many dermatologists (including my own). It feels moisturizing and is easy to spread. Although the fragrance is light and pleasant, I do wish it was fragrance free. I have light skin, and the tint is a bit orange, however it's not too noticeable if spread properly.
