Reviews For SkinCeuticals Physical Matte UV Defense Tinted Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50
Great Sunscreen
I walk in the morning most days and live in a very sunny climate. I roll out of bed and apply this directly on my face, neck and upper chest that may be exposed to the sun. I have a rigorous night time skin care regime so I do my morning face routine after I return from my walk and wash the sunscreen of. I reapply if I plan on going out in the sun again. A little bit goes a long way and the tint works for me.

Good but little greasy
This could be the perfect sun block to me, but after applied it starts to feel a little greasy, but no acne and that’s the good part.

Very good post procedure
This is very good sunscreen for post procedure days, but not one that I would wear all the time.

Love Hate Relationship
I love how the mattifying aspect of this sunscreen keeps me from getting oily all day and that the color blends into my natural skin tone pretty well. My only issue is that it tends to pill up, especially when I've used serums underneath. Sometimes I need to redo my makeup because the pilling is so bad. One trick I've learned is to wait a bit after serums spray my face with some facial spray and then the sunscreen goes on a little less clumpy.

silky finish
This is a great sunblock to end the skin regimen with. The color is great and the silky matte feel is lovely.

Light coverage
Mousse is a good texture description. It’s silicon-y but not greasy and stays in place. Not holy grail but I plan to finish the tube.

Tinted matte
I like this in the liquid formula but it was too shiny. I tried this hoping it was as good. I was a bit disappointed. It has little flecks of something instead of being smooth. It was ok aside from that.

Really nice coverage but you need to use a lot
I really like this product. It gives great coverage with a nice, matte feel. I didn't give it 5 stars, though, because you have to use a lot to cover your whole face and it's not a big tube.

Mmmmm… Debatable!
I bought this sunscreen specifically because it has a matte texture: I live in very hot weather conditions where the temperature reaches 52 degrees Celsius between June & September, even my face sweats when I’m out and so I didn’t want any more “shine” on it!! The sunscreen is really good & the tint is kind of universal, but if you have a very dry skin it will peel on your face!!! That’s what happened to me in the beginning! Now I make sure to combine it with a real good moisturizing cream, which I apply right before the sunscreen NOT an hour or even half an hour earlier!! Once your face absorbs the cream, the sunscreen will peel again and turns into disgusting chunks that will make you hate your skin!! Also be very careful if you use a matte foundation before this sunscreen…!!

Nice sunscreen
This sunscreen has a nice matte feeling. I don’t like that the color is so light. I feel a little pale after applying but it seems to fade a bit, just do not over apply! I think the bottle could be MUCH bigger. Overall it sits nicely on skin and does feel like it’s clogging my pores.

Great Product
Really like this product; never go outside without it. Good coverage and enough tint to wear alone for a 'natural' look. Can feel grainy at times, but usually decreases as you blend it in.

evens skin tone and protects without heavy makeup or sunscreen
It is a physical SPF, so it's a bit thicker than chemical versions. I wish it didn't have so much silicone. I had to find the right (silicone free) moisturizer to prevent pilling.

Good for oily skin
This comes out thick like a light paste rather than a lotion. It goes on with that dimethicone feeling–slick but matte. Personally, for me, it’s too light (there is a slight tint), but my husband has used this for years and loves it. He likes that it reduces the appearance of pores, and it keeps his skin from looking shiny. It definitely stays matte. This would not be good for anyone with dry or flaking skin.

Light coverage
Non-oily, with just enough tint. I wear it alone, or blend it with my foundation.

I Love SkinCeuticals Physical Matte Tinted Sunscreen SPF 50
This is a great and effective sunscreen product with good coverage leaving a smooth, poreless finish. The only concern I have is the tint is a little too dark for my skin tone. I just mix it with a lighter tone. I use it every day no matter what time of year it is!

Worth it
This has a nice consistency and perfect tint to it. I often wear it alone without foundation over it, but when I do wear foundation, it acts as a nice primer! It doesn’t leave skin looking greasy or cause breakouts. The only thing I would change is the value. It's pricey for a small bottle, but as we all know, sometimes you get what you pay for.

Not enough coverage
I have combination skin with minor post acne marks and a few occasional break outs, few wrinkles. SPF 50 makes me feel safe. I like the tint, but it’s not enough coverage for me. As many noted, the smell is not pleasant, but it doesn’t linger and makes me feel good that I’m using non-perfume skin care. The matte effect is working for me when worn over non-oily moisturizer. I feel that it’s quite small for the price and won’t last long for my use. Probably won’t repurchase.

Great coverage but smells bad
I have used this for several years. It’s an everyday sunscreen. In the winter, I add a bit of moisturizer. However, this tube had an odor that I don’t care for. It almost smells like feet. I will continue to use it since the odor dissipates but will maybe order straight from the manufacturer in hopes it will be fresher and not have a bad odor

Physical sunblock
I purchased this matte sunblock for the first time. It works. I don't love the grainy feel of the product when it is applied. It feels like sand. I also disliked the smell. I am going back to the sheer physical fusion formula.
