What reviewers say

Distilled from the video reviewers — the score, what they praise, where they push back.?

Reviewers praise
  • Lightweight liquid texture that glides on easily without requiring much rubbing or blending effort
  • Adapts to fair-to-medium skin tones without leaving a white cast, giving a natural or slightly luminous finish
  • Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide mineral formula with iron oxides that help even skin tone and reduce redness
Reviewers push back
  • Can sting eyes and skin despite being marketed as gentle for sensitive types
  • Transfers noticeably to face masks and remains tacky rather than fully setting to a matte finish
  • Tint may appear grayish or too dark on very fair skin or build up to look darker than neck with multiple reapplications
A lightweight, tinted mineral sunscreen with high SPF that blends well and imparts a natural glow, though it can transfer to masks, sting sensitive eyes, and may not suit deeper skin tones with repeated application.
— best for: Best for those with fair-to-medium skin seeking a lightweight tinted mineral sunscreen that evens tone and works well under makeup or alone.

As someone who lives in Texas, it’s essential for me to use sunscreen all year round! I have oily skin on my face but need hydration for my neck. I can’t use sunscreens with a heavy texture. This ultralight mineral sunscreen (zinc oxide - 100% mineral sunscreen) fits my skin type PERFECTLY!!! Look at the before-and-after photo - ZERO WHITE CAST!!! It absorbs very quickly and makes my skin feel sof Kateyavtushenk · sephora.com

Your sunscreen is truly the best. A dermatologist recommended it to me about five years ago, and I’ve been using it ever since—it has become essential to me. Since my move, I can no longer purchase it at the clinic, but I received excellent service ordering directly from your company, so thank you for that. I especially love how lightweight it feels and how it gives my skin a natural glow. With my Céleste · skinceuticals.ca
