Reviews For SkinCeuticals Sheer Physical UV Defense Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50
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.

Love this product
I love the texture of the sunscreen. It is light and smooth. It does not make my face appear white. I use it under my foundation. It also protects really well from the sun.

Great sunscreen option
I really like this sunscreen. The product is slightly tinted, and blends into the skin quite well. It takes about 10 minutes to absorb into the skin, and looks very natural. Most importably, it provides good protection from the sun. A bit pricey, but it lasts a long time.

Not impressed
I heard so many good things about this and finally bought it but ended up disappointed. Not because of lack of protection but on me it left a white cast that I felt made me look sick. I was also hoping for more of a moisturizing feel when this to me felt more like a primer...silicony. I also purchased Colorescience Sunforgettable at the same time and love that one.

Enjoy this Sunscreen
Great sunscreen that doesn’t sting my skin. I do have to put my moisturizer on first to make sure it goes on smoothly. If I don’t I have to use twice as much sunscreen to cover my face. Not really a problem though.

Zero burn
I've been using their tinted physical sunscreen for a while but thought I'd give this one a try. It's a keeper. Yes, it needs to be rubbed in, but after that, there is little to no cast. Feels slightly heavier, more emollient, but my skin does not mind. Wore this to the beach last weekend and zero burn.

Best sunscreen for sebaceous hyperplasia!
This is the only sunscreen that I will ever use. It is absolutely perfect for people that have sebaceous hyperplasia. I have tried others ones but nothing comes close to this one. It is non oily at all. Feels great on your skin.

Skinceuticals Sheer SPF 50
Ive had numerous trial and error with various sunscreen brands until I discovered Skinceuticals Sheer Physical UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 50. It is extremely liquid giving me the ability to spread and glide over nicely and goes a long way. I took one star off because I would recommend better container and/or cap to better control it’s flow because liquid come out fast and is prone to spilling. I don’t mind taking little extra effort to carefully pour it on my hand. Im buying it again!

Love this
For awhile I couldn't get this and was only using the physical fusion. The tint on that is nice, but it always feels heavy or somehow dirty on my skin. This feels clean.

Love this sunscreen!
I love this sunscreen! It is very light, goes on smoothly and is easy to apply. It doesn’t leave your face pasty white and gummy feeling. Absorbs nicely.

Used for years
This is my favorite sunscreen my rosacea and extremely sensitive skin. I also call it my primer because it works to minimize pores and help my foundation go on smoothly. My skin is dry and so I do apply it over moisturizer.

Smooth texture and long-lasting
I just love the light texture and smooth application of this SPF 50 sunscreen! It layers well under foundation without feeling heavy or cakey. A little bit goes a long way, so this product is worth the investment.

4 star
I love the silky , soft , light weight texture. I would give it a 5 star for that reason, one draw back is , in some places it does leave a white residue on the skin. That is the only drawback. But if you make sure to rub totally in, it’s a 5!

Good not perfect
I did like that it doesn’t burn at all especially after my skin was so delicate after laser resurfacing. I started wearing this 1 wk postop. It’s thin and pats on really well and doesn’t leave my already oily skin looking like an oil slick. Huge plus for me. But it does leave a slight white cast on your skin. I could care less on my everyday “running errands” activities because I just need protection. I’ll be trying/buying the tinted version to use when I actually need to be presentable socially.

SkinCeuticals Sheer Physical UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 50
I purchased this by accident. I usually purchase the tinted which I love. This is good, but I prefer the tinted as it goes on easier.

White cast
I really wanted to love this sunscreen, but I'm sad to say I don't. 1/4 a tsp is what the face needs to get the full SPF protection but this sunscreen gives me a white cast even when rubbing it well and waiting 20 minutes. Applying makeup makes my skin look ashy. Will only use for my neck and chest but will not repurchase.

Nice sunscreen but a little white
This is a good sunscreen with a thin and easy to spread formula. Being zinc oxide however, it can leave a little bit of a white cast if you use too much. I learned that the hard way the first time I used this! The texture feels exactly like the Physical Fusion from SkinCeuticals, but without the tint. I personally prefer the tinted version for my face, but this is a great alternative if you do not like tinted sunscreens!

THE PERFECT SUNSCREEN
I have an anaphylactic reaction to sunscreens made with manmade chemical sunscreens. This proves extremely difficult when applying sunscreen to my face. I’ve used other brands of physical sunscreens on my face with success, BUT SKINCEUTICALS PHYSICAL SUNSCREEN sinks right into the skin without telltale white streaks left on my skin, and my skin stays protected from wrinkle inducing sun!!! This sunscreen is light, NOT greasy, and my skin remains its true shade! I will purchase this again. I love SKINCEUTICALS and use many of their quality products. I encourage you to try this sunscreen and all SKINCEUTICALS products.
