Reviews For SkinCeuticals Physical Matte UV Defense Tinted Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50
Not a good fit for me
I was hoping this would work for me, but it’s just not a good fit. It doesn’t dry down as advertised. On me it just stays moist and makes my skin feel kind of slimy. Maybe it will work better for someone else.

burns
I do not like this sunscreen as well as the more liquid matte sunscreen by the same brand. It was thicker and burned when I applied.

Lightweight Tinted Sunsceen
I do like the matte finish. The coverage is very light though, mostly invisible. For me I needed a bit more coverage. I felt like I needed to reapply it more often than others.

Sad this didn't work for me.
I like skinceuticals products, but am not a fan of the way this goes onto my skin. It goes on OK initially, but as it gets spread around, it rolls up into little balls all over my face. The more I try to wipe them off, the more are created. I am also not a fan of the silicon feel on my skin.

Matte does not work me
I wanted this to work, but as others commented, it pills up for me even waiting for moisturizer to dry before applying this sunscreen. I had to return it.

SkinCeuticals Physical Matte UV Defense Tinted Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50
I really wanted this to work for me. Very lightweight and soft, non greasy. However, I live in a very hot, humid environment. I wanted it to cover my face when I walk at the park for an hour. It seems to work for 30 minutes but then it melts off and I feel the sun burning me. I do wear a hat but the heat is intense here. Stopping to reapply is not an option in the middle of a workout. Wish it penetrated better to stay on.

Not the right product for me
Thanks to your generous return policy, I was able to return this product and order the Physical Fusion Mineral Tinted sunscreen vs. this matte product. I found the matte made me sweat, vs the fusion was more of a liquid product that went on easier and didn't make me sweat.

Feels gritty
This product feels like there is fine grit in it when you rub it on your face. I'm not sure exactly why. It does mattify and blur pores though.

Too little
The sunscreen works well, but for the money it should be bigger.

Sunscreen is not bad
This is an ok sunscreen but it doesn't give the coverage I was hoping for. It does help with pore size though. It does the job but I still have another tinted sunscreen that is my favorite. It is matte but not as matte as my favorite either. I just am unable to get my favorite right now.

just missed the mark
Working from home I don't often find the need to wear makeup so I am thrilled by the idea of a tinted sunscreen but the matte is a little too "matte" for me. I have oily skin and live in a hot humid state so thought for sure this is what I needed but I think I would opt for a non-matte version next time.

Great Brand but I Prefer the Liquid Version
I was disappointed somewhat with this sunscreen as I thought it would have more coverage based on the reviews. I don’t really have a lot to cover. It also had a white cast to it and did not go with my darker tanned skin tone and I thought it would adjust to at least a slightly darker tone. I will say it was easier to apply than the liquid and has a nice creamy consistency and it did stay on and remain matte on a hot humid day. . I will keep it for the backyard, swimming but just wouldn’t feel comfortable wearing it out as I had hoped. The physical fusion is harder to apply and I can’t use my fingers with it which I few wastes product absorbed by sponge but it does stay matte as well and adjusts to the right color without any white cast. They both had the same coverage imo.

Weird smell
This sunscreen is a winner in every area, except the weird, stinky smell. I love that it gives my skin light coverage and is great under makeup. It's lightweight and non-greasy, but I do recommend you giving it a shake because if not, it can come out of the tube a little runny. For all these reasons, I keep using it, but if I could find a sunscreen that does all that WITHOUT the bad smell, I would switch in a heartbeat.

Good...but...
This product definitely makes your skin matte. However, on darker skin tones it could leave a white cast and look a bit ashy. Tried it but didn't love it to purchase it again

Skinceuticals Physical Matte UV defense spf 50
I got this because I don't use foundation, but I like a something to even out my skin tone. I use Dr. Jart spf 50 tinted sunscreen and it is a bit light for summer, so I thought maybe the Skinceuticals tinted would have a bit more color. It does, but it was a too drying for my skin. I have oily skin, but this was too matte even for me.

Found to be Drying
I was pretty disappointed with this product since I am such a big fan of Skinceuticals antioxidant serums. For the high price, you would expect this sunscreen to have some moisturizing or anti-aging components to it. However going in I knew that this would simply be a mattifying sunscreen and I wanted to see how it worked. I found the sunscreen to not only be drying on my skin, but it was flaky and quite visible when I put it on. It felt like the sunscreen turned into powder as I began to rub it into my skin.

Lightweight, but white streaks
I have medium light skin and this product does work great - only if you don't sweat or get wet. If any of the two happen, the product becomes very white and chalking. Unfortunately I had this happen at a wedding (fortunately not my own!) and my photos revealed streaks of white, even though this was under makeup.

Dont like it
Too drying. Not so good and the tinted thing can clog your pores
