Great Everyday Tinted Sunscreen

I've been using SkinMedica Essential Defense Mineral Shield Broad Spectrum Sunscreen for a couple years. I wear it most mornings and it provides enough sun protection for my everyday activities including walking and paddleboarding. (I also wear a hat.) This sunscreen glides on well and evens out my skin tone like a foundation. I'm retired so unless I'm going somewhere special I only wear this and a little brow gel and lip gloss. SkinMedica Essential Defense Mineral Shield Sunscreen doesn't irritate my sensitive (facial) skin. I've had sensitivity from some other sunscreen brands so I am glad to have found this one. It was originally recommended by my esthetician.

I Like This Product!

I thought the tinted sunscreen from skin Medica had gone away. I’m so happy that it did not. I really like this product! It is effective, has a pleasant scent, and gives a little color to my face when I’m outside and don’t wanna put on makeup. I recommend this, this is the third time that I purchased it and I’m very happy with it.

Great product!

Love this product! Provides sun protection, goes on smoothly with tint, and no pilling. Does not make me feel greasy or leave an unwanted cast.

LOVE.

I cannot say enough positive things about this product. I love that it's lightweight, it feels refreshing and has a good amount of coverage that it doesn't leave a film feeling on your face.

Beautiful finish plus protection

I fell in love with this on the first try. It can be layered for more coverage, and gives a luminous finish while offering sun protection. It looks better than a foundation, but still natural. Great color. I will be ordering this one again, and it will replace my other facial sunscreens this summer!

Great Sunscreen!

This sunscreen is absolutely amazing! Its suitable for all skin types and can be used after procedures like microneedling or lasers. Its very gentle and almost invisible but gives you a little bit of coverage.

I am loving this mineral sunscreen!

I am living this mineral sunscreen and I have tried so so many over the last 12 years. I liked it so much that I ordered the tinted version to try out. I live in FL, use Vitamin C in the AM and peptides with Tretinoin in the PM. My complexion is fair to medium, tans easily, sweat profusely in the summer months and tends towards combo skin in the summer. I use a heaping quarter of a teaspoon and this sunscreen blends to invisible and dries down quickly to satin finish that isn't sticky.

My absolute favorite tinted sunscreen!

This goes on beautifully and doesn't pill under other skin care. After it sits about 5 min. I finish with a light dusting of setting powder and it literally last all day and still looks perfect by the end of the day!

I keep coming back to this sunscreen!

This is the best sunscreen I have used and the ONLY one that does not break me out! The tint gives a nice color in case you don't want to wear any additional makeup/foundation. This sunscreen has been so helpful in keeping my melasma at bay!

A must have

Sun protection is necessary. This is silky, creamy and glides on without streaking. The color is perfect for my light/medium skin tone. So many tinted sunscreens are orange, this one is not. I love SkinMedica and I am happy I tried this tinted sun defense product.

SkinMedica Essential Defense Mineral Shield Broad Spectrum SPF 32 - Tinted

Fantastic tinted sunscreen. Not too thick, not too thin, and not too greasy. It has more of a moisturizer feel to it than similar products on the market, which I like. Too, I tend to get a little oily in spots during the day and I noticed that this sunscreen helps reduce the shine. It also helps blur out complexion imperfections and large pores, which is great. Definitely a great choice!

I use this sunscreen all year

I have been using SkinMedica Essential Defense Mineral Shield Broad spectrum SPF 32-Tinted sunscreen for years. This tinted sunscreen not only is effective against sun burns and sun damage, it is also great for your skin, and can be used in place of foundation. It is easy to layer over serums and moisturizers and blends in nicely as well. I tend to have dry and sensitive skin and this sunscreen does not irritate my skin.

Love this!

I have tried several tinted sunscreens and mostly been disappointed. This one is the best I've tried. It's a keeper. I goes on creamy smooth and the tint seems to blend in to provide a nice sun-kissed look. I would recommend this sunscreen.
