Reviews For SkinCeuticals Sheer Physical UV Defense Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50
Terrible white mask
The GOOD: light texture, easy application, non greasy, high SPF, pore friendly, contains zinc oxide! The BAD: White hue upon application! If not for the terrible white finish and the fact that this is NOT an organic product, this SkinCeuticals sunscreen would get five stars.

Odd smell, but good sunscreen
Overall great coverage sunscreen, but has an odd gasoline like smell. It's not super potent, but there when you first apply it.

The BEST Sunscreen
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this sunscreen! It's super light and not greasy at all! My skin is very sensitive and this sunscreen hasn't bothered it at all.

Disappointing Results
I purchased this sunscreen based on numerous glowing reviews. I was looking for a reef-safe, all mineral sunscreen that did not leave a white caste and performed well under makeup. I thought it was quite expensive for the amount of product, but decided it would be worth the price if it performed well. Unfortunately for me, this sunscreen does not fully absorb into my skin. I’ve tried a light application and still - I get a white caste. I also get texture; the sunscreen emphasizes texture. I’ve tried 2x to wear foundation over it and the texture gets way worse and the foundation breaks down throughout the day. My prep includes HA5 and moisturizer so this isn’t for lack of proper prep. Sadly, I can only wear this on makeup free days.

Wont fail you!
I’ve been wearing this sunscreen since I was 43. I’m now 55. My since has improved tremendously. SPF in your makeup is not enough if you really want to protect your skin. This goes on great under my makeup with no white cast. Highly recommend!

SkinCeuticals Sheer Physical UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 50
This SPF was recommended by a SkinCeuticals esthetician. I was looking for a light coverage without pilling and white cast. This one is perfect, very light and absorbs well. Also works well as a base under make up.

Super spreader (in a good way)
This is literally the only non-tinted mineral sunscreen that easily spreads without feeling like you’re applying a paste that’s inadvertently causing wrinkles due to difficulty with spreading it. All mineral sunscreens have a white cast, but this one seems to subside after a while. Total winner based this and that it is SPF 50.

SkinCeuticals Sheer Physical UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 50
Three years ago I bought this, I liked it but it's too expensive so I had been tried difference brands, little cheaper, but I have to go back to this one. Best one for me.

Great Protection
I have had melanoma and use this sunscreen each morning before outdoor exercise. It initially has a white cast but blends easily and disappears. Lightweight but does the job! Later after showering, I use SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion (the tinted version) on my face and use this on my neck. (This is less likely to leave any traces on my clothing.). Love both products and highly recommend!

I prefer the tinted one
On my caramel complexion, I can't say this is completely sheer, but it's mostly sheer. I've resigned myself to mainly wearing it with foundation; however, it controls oil better than any product I've ever used! For that reason, I decided to keep this, and it's become a holy grail product. I'm usually a total grease ball by 10 am, but with this I barely have to blot my face at all during the day. The fact that it keeps dark spots at bay and controls oil is a huge bonus!! But I prefer the tinted one.

Perfect
I have resisted using this because it contains Titanium Dioxide in addition to the Zinc. In the past I have had trouble with clogged pores from Titanium Dioxide. This didn't do that. I am in my sixties and have moderately dry skin but am still subject to the occasional breakout. After reading through many of the reviews stating that this was very light I decided to place an order. It is light, non greasy, melts into my skin in record time and doesn't leave a shine. My skin is very fair so I never get a cast from mineral sunscreens. It certainly wasn't an issue with this one. Although I usually use a tinted sunscreen sometimes I just want a simple sunscreen that I can blend in and have it look exactly like my skin. This is perfect for that

Happy with new product
I was initially disappointed that the SPF 30 sunscreen I have used for over 20 years was discontinued. I ordered the SPF 50 sunscreen and I am happy with the new product. It is very light and goes on smoothly.

So light and it works!
I’ve been using this sunscreen for many years and I love it. It is very light and absorbs into my skin quickly. I use it on my face and also my body. Highly recommend it.

leaves a slight white residue
I normally wear the tinted SkinCeuticals 50 sunscreen but with the pandemic and wearing a mask, I switched to the non-tinted version. This is a very good sunscreen, but it leaves a slight, white residue once absorbed. The sunscreen is lightweight, absorbs quickly and doesn't irritate my rosacea. Having tried at least a dozen mineral sunscreens, I have never found one that doesn't leave your skin looking slightly white.
