Not for me

This product leaves a white cast and does not go on easy. It also seems to pull, so it doesn’t work well with other products at all. I don’t feel that there is enough product for the price. I wouldn’t purchase again.

Good but not matte

Similar to SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion, but with a thicker mouse-like texture. This one is not mattifying on me, and it seems to create additional shine. It’s also more expensive. This is still a good sunscreen compared to most, but I think Physical Fusion is the better option.

Way too dark

The sunscreen part of this product is great. However, for my med/light skin, the tint was too pinky orange for my complexion. Will not be repurchasing.

Goes On Smooth

I love this sunscreen. It goes on smooth and absorbs quickly. The tint in this sunscreen blends and doesn’t leave white cast. The matte finish stayed all day!

Almost but not quite

After using this consistently for a few weeks now, I feel like I can review this tinted sunscreen. It is actually matte and it definitely makes a difference in the amount of shiny-ness by the end of day. It doesn't keep it all away but does a decent job. The tint is very subtle. It is enough for a "no make up" kind of day for light coverage. It works well under my powder make up as well. However, the tint is somewhat like a cool beige. Almost has a slight gray tone to it so I definitely have not tried to re-apply because I was unsure of how the color of the tint would come out. Before each use, I have to waste a tiny bit of product because it comes out liquid-y. After the little bit of waste, the actual mousse consistency is there. This is awful for the price of the product. I tried shaking it hoping that it would prevent that from happening but it did not work. So overall, I will continue to use this until it runs out but my search for the perfect tinted matte sunscreen continues.

Uncertain If I Like

There are things I like about this item. Pros: matte finish, color blends with my light skin tone (to a degree), small in size (to carry), SPF 50. Cons: Pricey, emphasizes any dry skin, color darkens as you reapply. Based on this, Im uncertain if I would repurchase.

Love this sunscreen!!

I was looking for a sunscreen that would not make my combination skin look oiler. I love this sunscreen! It is so silky smooth when applying and always maintains the matte finish even when I walk on my lunch break. It eases my mind knowing that it contains an SPF of 50 to protect my aging skin. Great product, never let's me down. Keep up the fabulous work!

Nice velvety matte finish

I like to have many types of sunscreens in my toolbox. This is a great matte finish with high spf. Doesn’t break the skin out, has no smell, disappears into skin, leaves a velvety matte finish.

Love the matte coverage!

I have been a fan of the mineral sunscreen for sometime, but don’t always want a glow. The matte sunscreen has a touch less coverage but really lovely on my skin. Of note, I do not wear any makeup, and if I did this would be just the right amount of coverage.

Great for oily skin

I have been using this for several years and have compared with other brands. I kept coming back to this product because it keeps my face looking fresh for several hours compared to others that gets too shiny and oily. I use this under my antioxidant and works well. Does not cake and provides a matte finish. No need to use loose powder afterwards. Great product suited for oily skin.

Smooth and easy to apply

It has a smooth consistency, like a mousse, I love it. It is easy to apply, and it has a bit of tint, enough to make my skin prettier, but very discreet that it doesn't interfere if you're going to wear make up on top of it.

Great Sunscreen

I walk in the morning most days and live in a very sunny climate. I roll out of bed and apply this directly on my face, neck and upper chest that may be exposed to the sun. I have a rigorous night time skin care regime so I do my morning face routine after I return from my walk and wash the sunscreen of. I reapply if I plan on going out in the sun again. A little bit goes a long way and the tint works for me.

Fantastic sunscreen

I love all things skinceuticals, and I had to try this matte sunscreen for my trip. We just got back and I like this SO much better than the other version. I always looked like an oil slick with that one, but the matte version is almost like a light make-up. It lasted all day in the sun and I am very fair. The only thing is that at the end of the week, I did get a break out of acne on my chin. My skin is really sensitive and I’m not sure if it was this, or just the change in climate, water, etc.

Excellent product overall

This is a great product with a lovely matte finish. It stays on and has good coverage. I do wish they had more than one shade. I mix it with the sheer physical defense to get a lighter shade.

Skin Ceuticals Matte Sunscreen

I play a lot of golf and have tried so many products since I am in the sun at least 4 to 5 hours. I love this product because it also acts as a foundation and you cannot even tell, it is so smooth and the color is perfect. I have shown to my golfer friends and everyone has started using it. It is a great product and stay on all day.

Go to summer defense

This is an absolute must for summer months. I have had very difficult to treat melasma for years but started using this in conjunction with their discoloration defense and have seen so much improvement. I live in a super sunny climate and this has helped protect my skin from sun exposure that has always worsened my melasma during summer months. It also has a great matte and tinted finish so works as an alternative to foundation. Highly recommend.

Good but little greasy

This could be the perfect sun block to me, but after applied it starts to feel a little greasy, but no acne and that’s the good part.

Not a good fit for me

I was hoping this would work for me, but it’s just not a good fit. It doesn’t dry down as advertised. On me it just stays moist and makes my skin feel kind of slimy. Maybe it will work better for someone else.

Great product

The only tinted sunscreen that actually worked for my skin tone and did not make my face look orange. Mattifies my skin without clogging pores. Hope they never discontinue this product.
