What reviewers say

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

Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50
no reviewer coverage yet
Reviewers praise
  • Confirmed reef-safe with zinc oxide as the only active ingredient
  • Works well under makeup without pilling or disrupting foundation
  • Less white cast than some competing mineral sunscreens like Neutrogena Sheer Zinc
Reviewers push back
  • Significant white cast that settles visibly in facial hair and eyebrows
  • Not suitable for medium to darker skin tones without makeup coverage
  • Thin, milky consistency requires more rubbing to blend than typical sunscreen
A reef-safe mineral sunscreen that works well under makeup but leaves a pronounced white cast, especially visible in facial hair and on darker skin tones.
— best for: Very pale to light-skinned individuals with dry or sensitive skin who plan to wear makeup over sunscreen and need reef-safe protection.

I actually like the new formula better as it’s not as greasy and gave me a more matte finish. I have sensitive skin and this also seems even less irritating than the old formula. Finished the whole tube and will buy a new one for sure. Tracy · Target

best sunscreen for the face. i have tried them all. al of them. makes a great makeup primer. just so good for so many reasons i could write an essay. ONLY SUNSCREEN THAT CAUSES ZERO BREAKOUTS (if you double wash your face both morning and night though consistently) AND HAS A GREAT FINISH AND OF COURSE PROTECTS SKIN. i personally found it to last 6 or even 8 hrs even without reapplication if you ar Haley Azhderian · Google
