Critics & buyers

The human jury in one chapter — what the video reviewers score and say, the reviews behind it, and how Google buyers rate them.

What reviewers say

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

Reviewers praise
  • Blends smoothly without pilling, balling up, or leaving a chalky white cast
  • Iron oxides in the tint provide added protection against visible-light wavelengths that worsen hyperpigmentation and melasma
  • Non-comedogenic and fragrance-free formula suits sensitive and acne-prone skin
Reviewers push back
  • Only one shade — reads warm-orange on fair skin and leaves a cast on deeper skin tones
  • Not water-resistant, and the tint transfers to fabric and clothing
  • SPF 30 only; reviewers who do outdoor activities or want higher sun protection note the ceiling feels low
A well-formulated mineral sunscreen that earns broad approval for texture, skin-friendliness, and iron-oxide benefits, but its single medium-toned shade and lack of water resistance are real limitations.
— best for: People with light-to-medium skin tones, sensitive or acne-prone skin, or conditions like hyperpigmentation and melasma who want a fragrance-free mineral sunscreen that doubles as a light tinted moisturizer for everyday indoor-to-outdoor use.
Reviewers praise
  • Blends into skin with minimal white cast despite being a mineral formula, especially on fair to medium skin tones
  • Applies smoothly with a silky texture that spreads easily compared to typical mineral sunscreens
  • Works well as a makeup primer with a soft matte finish that helps foundation adhere
Reviewers push back
  • SPF 30 rating is too low for prolonged outdoor exposure or reliable daily protection
  • Not water resistant, which limits effectiveness in humid conditions or when sweating
  • Small bottle size runs out quickly with proper application amounts
Reviewers agree this mineral sunscreen applies smoothly and blends well with minimal white cast, but the SPF 30 rating feels inadequate for extended outdoor use and the small bottle empties quickly.
— best for: Best for people with normal to oily skin seeking a lightweight mineral sunscreen for routine indoor days with incidental sun exposure who want something that doubles as a primer.

I have been searching for a mineral sunscreen that is moisturizing, doesn't leave a horrible white cast, that doesn't burn my eye and skin. I am a black woman with a medium brown complexion. It is so hard to find a mineral sunscreen that both takes care of my skin and looks good. I have tried a lot of products in search of one that I can confidently purchase again and again.

I cannot sing the praises of this product enough. Silky, completely non-greasy (rinses clean with water), matte, skin-loving ingredients, lovely sheer coverage that stays on the skin and looks natural...why hasn't this gone viral? I'd take this over Supergoop in a heartbeat any day. I've been using this for almost a decade (and have very youthful skin to support its efficacy) and every single time GrrAce · paulaschoice.com
