Love this tinted sunscreen!
Looks great alone on days I'm just running errands and offers a slight glow when wearing under foundation. Love it!

Skin rash
This cream feels lovely on the skin. I really wanted it to work out. But it causes a burning rash on my skin.

So Underrated
You name it, I've tried that sunscreen. All the most popular sunscreens, from chemical to physical, from the pharmacy to medical spas to the dermatologist's office...if they didn't break me out, they left me looking like an oil slick, a ghost, like I had a bad spray tan, or just left my skin tacky and itchy. This is the best physical sunscreen I've ever tried. The slight tint is mostly sheer and won't cover all your problem areas; I figure the color is merely to combat the white cast from the zinc. It's not tacky, greasy, matte, acne-causing, and most importantly, I haven't tanned or burned once while wearing it. Because it's a physical sunscreen without a built-in moisturizer, it sits on top of your skin and can emphasize your dry spots (but hardly, in comparison to other physical sunscreens). I use a vitamin c serum and moisturizer underneath to remedy this. You won't feel it on your skin unless you touch it, and even then it leaves your skin surprisingly soft. One pump is enough to spread across your face and most of your neck. It's also reef safe.

Fair/Cool Toned Skin
This worked on my lighter leveled skin with cooler undertones. Very impressed, did not make my rosacea flare up!

Light and Does the job
I absolutely love this sunscreen. I absolutely hate wearing makeup in the heat so this has been so lovely. A nice lightweight tint all while protecting your skin. No gross smell and easy application. So lightweight and doesn’t have a greasy finish. If it does get to greasy you can always pat with light setting powder or a blotting sheet. I wear this every day.

Just Enough Color
This is a lovely, transparent physical sunblock with a bonus of beneficial skincare ingredients, and just the right amount of color.

Not for sensitive skin
I really wanted to like this as the product stated for Sensitive skin, however, this made me break out and caused redness. I gave two stars because I liked the texture and the color of the product. Unfortunately I used my rewards dollars on this and now if I return, I wouldn't get those back which is frustrating.

Love this product!
I was so surprised when I tried this after my facial. It did not feel sticky at all and I love the fact that you can layer it. Wish it had a stronger SPF.

Holy Grail
Wow. Another hit from SkinMedica. Tried this and the SM Total Defense SPF and I prefer this one. I have very fair skin, this isn't super opaque so the tint just melts into my complexion. This doesn't irritate my skin, and it feels like nothing! My summer make up go-to is now this product+ mascara+ lipstick. Done!

The only face SPF I Use
I have been using this SPF for 3 years and I finally found a product that moisturizes, protects and doesn't clog my pores. The product is excellent for my sensitive skin.

No makeup required
I have sensitive skin and can't wear a lot of makeup. Since using this tinted sunscreen, I no longer have to worry about makeup, and am also protected from the sun at the same time.

Effective, elegant and can be used around the eyes
Smooth texture and silky light consistency. It does pill and it is neither matt nor shiny. The tint is also medium and will work well on most skin shades. It doesn’t leave a cast whatsoever and spread very easily. You can wait for it to dry and apply a new coat without any issues.

Great for darker complexion.
Being that this sunscreen is tinted, I was looking for a very light coverage which it provides but the color did not blend well with my fair skin with red undertones. This shade left me with an orange cast. As far as protection, this worked very well on my afternoon run. I didn’t rate 5 stars because of the tint but it does go on very smooth and blend well.
