Reviews For SkinMedica Essential Defense Mineral Shield Broad Spectrum SPF 32 - Tinted
Cosmetically elegant physical SPF
I'm nearing the end of my first bottle of this sunscreen. It spreads easily, I appreciate the pump, it never pills and the tint ensures no white cast. It is among the most cosmetically elegant sunscreens I have used, though I do have to be careful with blending on to my neck (I prefer to use a non-tinted sunscreen on my neck and chest, so as not to stain clothing). The tint is warmer than that of the SkinCeuticals physical fusion SPF 50, which I love but can look a tad gray on its own on my complexion. On my combination skin, it sometimes appears too dewy for me in my oily areas, so I have to powder over it. I also wish it had a higher SPF rating. For those reasons, plus the high price and lack of significant antioxidants, I will not rush to repurchase as we approach the warmer months. I may come back to it next winter, if on sale.

Best tinted sunscreen
This tinted sunscreen glides on easier than the non-tinted. I've tried other brands, but I love this one.

almost perfect
I love this but feel it’s too dark for me in the winter. That’s okay though. I bought the non-tinted and will save this for summer

Light coverage non greasy
Looks very complimentary on skin, perfect color match. Have only used it a few times and not really tested it as a sunscreen. It is a pump bottle do not know if it has enough product in it to last several months. We shall see.

Received this product as a sample and fell in love with it! I use it as my moisturizer. The tint is really pretty. Very light weight.

Love!
Received as a sample and just purchased the full size. My aging dry skin loves this! Gives me a natural finish and makes me look like I’m glowing. I’m a medium tan and it matches perfectly. I love this so much!

great sunscreen
I received a sample of this and loved it so much, I bought it. It is SPF, and while I would love it even more if it were a higher SPF, it is a fabulous product. The tint is great and looks just like foundation when applied. It has a smooth, rich feel and doesn''t feel greasy. Good stuff!

The perfect SPF
I love this product so much, I have 2 extra bottles to ensure I NEVER run out! I’ve tried More than 10 SPF products/brands, and the only one that comes close is the Epionce SPF. However, it can pill, but this doesn’t matter how much you rub it in, no matter how many layers you apply under it.

Lovely Formula
I like the tinted, moisturizing formula. For reference, I'm very fair-skinned with warm tones. The tint might look odd for someone with pinkish skin or darker skin. I ca't use this on my face because I'm super prone to breakouts, but I use it on my neck and chest every day. I wish it had an spf of 40. That's why I didn't give it the full 5 stars.

Great Mineral Sunscreen
SkinMedica Essential Defense Mineral Shield Broad Spectrum SPF 32 - Tinted is a great daily sunscreen for the face. I tried a sample and liked it enough to purchased the regular size. It goes on smoothly with a nice natural color that blends with my skin unlike some mineral sunscreens that leave your face whitish or with an unnatural tone. Doesn't stay in the creases either and you can really later without it looking heavy.

Love This Sunscreen
I love this sunscreen! The tint is just right for my skin tone, goes on silky smooth and I often don't put any other makeup on over it other than a little blush. I don't think it's orangey at all. Maybe for super fair skin, it might be but normal to medium skin tones its perfect. The only con is DON'T push the pump all the way down because it dispenses more than you need, even if you go down your neck and upper chest.

The tint is too orange-y/tan
Like the first reviewer, I wanted to love this: gentle mineral sunscreen, tinted, fragrance-free, and contains nice antioxidants. But unfortunately, the tint is way too orange-y/tan for my lighter skin tone. Back to Jan Marini's Physical SPF 45....

Outstanding Skinmedica Sunblock!!!!!!!
I purchased the Skinmedica Essential Defense Broad Spectrum SPF 32 Tinted. I love the product as it is gentle for my highly sensitive, aging skin. The lotion goes on smooth and the slight tint is just enough for my skin. I like that I can apply it lightly and use the tint as coverage alone with out applying makeup or I can blend it in more fully and apply make up over it. It goes on nice and even and works well alone or under my makeup. Texas summers are extremely hot, I feel confident with this product that my face is properly protected.

Wanted to love it, but...
I was eager to try this since I have had great results with other Skinmedica products, and I cannot use chemical sunscreens. Unfortunately, the tint looks very orange on my fair skin, and I found the formula to be greasy, causing breakouts.
