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
  • Broad-spectrum mineral protection with non-nano zinc oxide tested for UVA, UVB, and pro-pigmenting visible light wavelengths
  • Iron oxides in multiple colors (red, yellow, black) help prevent hyperpigmentation in medium to deep skin tones
  • Water-resistant formulation with added antioxidants and niacinamide
Reviewers push back
  • Original liquid formulation has a dewy finish that some find too glossy or moist
  • Shade range may not match all undertones perfectly—some tones skew peachy or orange
  • Takes significant effort to blend fully into darker skin without leaving residue
Dermatologists praise this mineral sunscreen for comprehensive UVA, UVB, and visible-light protection with tinted iron oxides, though the original formulation takes effort to blend and leaves a dewy cast.
— best for: People with medium to deep skin tones fighting hyperpigmentation who need mineral sunscreen that blocks visible light and allows midday reapplication.

I have used this product for many years. It is the best sunscreen I have ever found, and I have tried many... It goes on very light (liquid) and leaves NO residue! Never greasy and works incredibly well - better than other sunscreens that claim they have 50% coverage. The other most important factor to this particular sunscreen is that if you have rosacea (as I do) you will have no reaction to thi Sandra · paulaschoice.com

Colorscience works beautifully on both young and aging skin because it doesn’t settle into fine lines or wrinkles. It’s so easy to blend out i use my finger tips and it gives the most flawless coverage it’s still looks very natural. As a licensed esthetician, i love recommending products that protect the skin barrier while also giving a wearable finish. I’ve been using it myself for about 2 years Bailey B · influenster.com
