Great sun protection
I love this product from spring to fall. I have noticed that it can seem a bit drying in the winter, so I add a moisturizing serum when needed. It is otherwise the perfect sunscreen and blends easily.

Weird texture but great sun protection
This sunscreen smells odd and has an odd texture. Hence, the four stars. However, it does provide great protection and the sun does not seem to penetrate it. It is long-wearing and once absorbed, it doesn’t feel like I’m wearing sunscreen at all. I will continue to purchase it, I just wish it smelled better.

Great Coverage
This is a fantastic facial SPF. It does not cause any tingling like most of them do, and it doesn't leave white streaks across your face. My one complaint is that the tint does lighten as you apply it. One reviewer suggested to just dab it on but that defeats the purpose of ensuring overall protection.

Pretty good
Pros: it’s light, blends well and a fantastic color. Sun protection is adequate for a day at the beach. Cons: it has a slightly gritty feel to it and is very difficult to wash off. I have to pre was with makeup remover then wash 2-3 times with cleanser and my Clarisonic I use it sparingly because I don’t enjoy the struggle to remove it.

Lightweight Silky Smooth
This tint sunscreen gives just a hint of color to my face while protecting from the sun’s rays. Goes on smooth and is lightweight.

Perfect fit for helping with my melasma
Easy to apply. The tint is perfect for my skin tone and conceals some of my melasma. I eliminate the shine with a mineral foundation powder. Only downside is not being able to use a bb cream over it as the cream brings,out the white of the zinc oxide making it look ‘cakey’. Otherwise I wouldn’t know it is zinc oxide. Hasn’t made me break out or cause any irritation on my face. Seems to be doing it’s job well.

Skin Ceuticals UV Defense
This tinted SPF gives you a nice glow but I don't like how runny it is when it comes out of the bottle

SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion Sunscreen
I like this sunscreen. It's really lightweight and not greasy. The reason I only give 4 stars is because I don't like that its tinted.

Best tinted mineral sunscreen for summer
Keep coming back to this sunscreen. Shade is perfect, I never burn, sweat proof, and it never rubs off on clothes etc. I wish it was a little more moisturizing (dries me out in winter) but it’s perfect for summer.

Good sunscreen
I like the tone of this sunscreen and it seems to protect well. It's a little more liquidy than I expected but soaks in quickly.

Great sunscreen/toner
I really like this product, I still do get a little read when I go outside so I'm not sure how long it truly lasts for; however, it has a little bit of a bronzer in it, and i would say it matches 99% of all skin tones because it is such a light tint. It's also very light on the skin. I love it, recommend it.

I really like this tinted sunscreen
I normally use Murad City Skin Age Defense but i may switch to SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense permanently. It enhances my natural skin tone and doesn't leave my face shiny like the Murad does. It is a lot thinner consistency, so I have to be careful not to inadvertently dispense to much, but I also feel like because of this that it will go further and last longer.

too drying for me but works for others
Sadly, this was too drying for me despite using a good moisturizer. I gave it to a friend with an oilier skin type, and she loves it!

Light and smooth
I really like this sunscreen. Very light and easy to spread on my face. Not greasy or cakey. I do like the tinted color option since I have darker skin tone. I just switched to this one from Dermalogica so will see how it is. Overall, I like this product and recommend it.

Great sunscreen + just a hint of tint
I've been using this product for 2 years now. I wear it daily either alone during summer or over a moisturizer during winter and it is great. Very lightweight with a very light (barely noticeable) tint. I has Zinc and Titanium in it which is highly recommended in a high quality sunscreen without the harmful parabens. Plus, it never causes breakouts - and yep, I still at age 46 have hormonal breakouts! Boo. Giving it 4 stars rather than 5 only because it does leave me a little shiny. With that being said, I have combination skin so do tend to have an oilier T-Zone. To combat this, I simply apply a light dusting of either bronzing powder or tinted powder. Highly recommend.

great sunscreen, small bottle
This sunscreen is great in the sense that it doesn't break me out, doesn't cause my skin to get oily, doesn't have a strong smell, and protects my pale skin from the Texas sun, (which is really all I ask for from a normal sunscreen). Unfortunately, the tint is not very strong. Don't buy this if you're expecting it to cover up redness or blemishes, because the tint vanishes once you rub it in. Blends seamlessly with the skin but does nothing to cover up. Be aware that the smaller product is VERY small. A little bit above 1 oz, which is around the standard size of a liquid foundation. Was very surprised when I received such a small bottle at this price. Buyer be aware of these things before purchasing!

Possible breakouts
I have used this product for several years and have loved the coverage and feel on my face. I don’t need foundation with it since it’s tinted and provides the right amount of coverage. However, my skin has been breaking out for quite some time, and I question whether this is the culprit. I switched to a different product two weeks ago and my breakouts have virtually disappeared. At this point, I will continue to avoid this sunscreen.

A Bit Soupy, But Works Well
It's liquid, so it takes a little getting used to after the thicker lotion sunblocks. I like this over the soy-base mousse sunblocks because this doesn't dry out my skin the way the others do. It covers minor discolorations, so I don't need any foundation, concealer or other make-up with this.

Excellent supplement
I have tried several dermatologist recommended tinted sunscreens over the past few years. I like using it when I'm headed for the gym, exercising outdoors, doing yard work or running to the market. It is very light and easy to wear but it you're looking for coverage this is not the one for you.
