I was looking for an unscented, mid-to-high SPF level facial lotion. This totally fits the bill, 35 SPF which is enough. Really nice feel to it, spreads evenly and no white left-overs from zinc oxide. It feels as light as a daily facial moisturizer. I'm wanted an unscented product and this is. Checked all my boxes. Plus nice packaging with a pump.

I often go hunting for other mineral moisturizers. However, many are not compatible with the SkinMedica line (e.g., have retinol or vitamin C which are not compatible with human growth factor). So, I keep com. ing back to this Essential Defense Mineral Shield.

I will wear this sunscreen until the day I die or the day it's discontinued, whichever comes first. It's the only mineral sunscreen that truly blends into the skin well - not even other brands that claim to be "clear" do that. Depending on my mood, I mix this with a pump or two of the tinted version for a nicer finish on the skin. It's truly excellent - the only mineral sunscreen I can confidently say I love.

This one passes all my tests for not transferring to or staining clothing, so I use it on my neck and chest. I also like that it comes in an airless pump and the ingredients are gentle for sensitive skin.

Goes on smooth and is moisturizing. No white tint.

This made my skin dry and made my make up application pasty…if you have mature dry skin I would consider other options…will say a little went a long way for coverage.

This is a great untinted sunscreen. It doesn't leave a white cast, however I am a fair/moderate skin tone, so I can't speak for darker skin tones. It is a nice smooth texture and feels lovely when applying. Does an excellent job protecting my skin from burning without causing any irritation or breakouts.

A dear friend let me try this sunscreen and I absolutely love it. It goes on with ease, doesn’t leave a cast or any streaking, dries quickly…it’s a light sunscreen compared with others.

I have been using this sunscreen for years now and it is the only one that does not break me out or cause some kind of reaction. I love that it is mineral only, it blends well and does not feel heavy. I basically use this every day over my serums and don’t even need a moisturizer. It’s just perfect.

Alittle goes along way. Skin feels soft after use

This is overall a good facial sunscreen. I would love if it were a bit more moisturizing, but I do have very dry skin and I feel like most 100% mineral sunscreens will be at least slightly drying (at least the ones I have tried!) Just needs a good moisturizer underneath if you are very dry like me. I have rosacea and very sensitive/reactive skin and this has not caused any problems so far after ~2 months of daily use, so that is a big win! Does not leave any white cast, but I am also naturally very pale so this isn't something I usually have an issue with. I have already repurchased once and plan to keep doing so.

I am always on the hunt for a good facial sunscreen. I REALLY like this. It's thin and easy to apply. Best of all - no sunscreen smell!

This is a mineral sunscreen and starts out white but blends easily. Not greasy, great under makeup.

I like this a lot for my chest.. unfortunately I can’t use it on my face because it clogs my pores but I really like it for the sensitive skin on my chest

This is the best sunscreen, ever! I have incredibly sensitive rosacea skin and this doesn't aggravate my skin. It's cosmetically elegant and nice to apply. I like that it's mineral protection, and not chemical. It would be great if they could increase the spf to 45, but I will keep buying this forever :)

I am very sensitive to many products and I am happy to finally have sunscreen that doesn’t make my eyes itch and water. It goes on smoothly and doesn’t irritate or make my eyes burn. My foundation goes on great after using it. This is my new addition to my makeup routine!

I like that this is almost invisible, however am diminishing the stars due to the migration factor I've discovered with this one. In addition, it is only an spf 35 as opposed to a higher rating. After all, I think the higher ratings should be preferable sun protection?

My dermatologist would have my hide if I didn't use sunscreen everyday - especially here in FL.

This is my go-to protection following Fraxel treatments or when skin is irritable. It's a handy pump container that dispenses a nice consistency cream, not too shiny or too dry.
