    Worth the Buy

    This is one of the best face sunscreens I have ever purchased. it doesn't burn, is not oily, and works well under makeup. if you feel like it leaves a white cast just add a little foundation to give it a tint. i have very sensitive medium toned skin if it helps.

    Zinc Oxide sunscreen

    Love this face sunscreen. Yes it leaves a little white cast but it's expected because it has zinc oxide in it! Any sunscreen with zinc will do the same but that means your skin is really protected from the sun. Rub it in good, it will go away!

    White tint

    Ideal texture, but very noticeable white tint. Its a no go! Please make it tinted - this would be a game changer.

    Mineral sunscreens contain ingredients like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which can sometimes leave a visible white cast on the skin. We recommend applying small amounts and blending thoroughly using circular motions to help minimize its appearance. f you'd like to discuss your experience further, please contact our Special Services team at ContactUs@GaldermaSupport.com or 1-866-735-4137 (M-F, 8am-5pm CT).

    There is a white cast on medium skin tones, but I find that it is manageable after it dries down. Nice soft matte finish, isn’t greasy at all. However, it stings my eyes! Would’ve been a go-to sunscreen if it didn’t irritate my eyes.

    From Cetaphil Team team
    Hi there, thanks for sharing this! Mineral sunscreens sit on top of the skin, so they can take a little more blending. Priming with a light layer of lotion, applying a small amount at a time, and rubbing in circular motions until fully absorbed can help. We'd love to learn more about the irritation you're experiencing. Please contact our Special Services team at ContactUs@GaldermaSupport.com or 1-866-735-4137 Monday through Friday, 8am-5pm Central Time.

    Buyer beware! The sunscreen will leave a white residue on your face. I should’ve read the reviews before I bought this even if you put a thin amount, a white sheen/residue will be on your face, so you really have to blend it in with your skin, it’s not worth it. I don’t recommend this product.

    White Cast

    It’s a good non oily sunscreen but the white cast is absolutely diabolical. I’m half Filipino half white and I wouldn’t say my skin tone is dark but I’m definitely tanner. No matter how little I apply or how much moisturizer I mix in, I look pale as a ghost. So this is not POC safe and I doubt it was tested on brown skin.

    not for very oily acne prone skin

    I bought this sunscreen to try it on my oily acne prone skin hoping for a matte dry finish, which I didn't see that as a result !! hard to blend, always ended up with white cast, very sticky on oily skin. Overall I had a bad experience after using it for more than 2 months. if you have combo skin it might work, but definitely not for oily skin !! I would never buy it again !!

    We're sorry to hear about your experience! Our Sheer Mineral Face Sunscreen SPF 50 uses mineral filters to provide broad-spectrum sun protection, which can leave a visible white cast. We recommend applying small amounts and blending in circular motions for a more even application. For oily, acne-prone skin, we'd recommend trying our DermaControl Oil Absorbing Moisturizer SPF 30, which is specifically formulated to help control oil and shine while providing sun protection. We appreciate your feedback and hope you'll give it a try!

    Mineral sunscreen

    Personally wasn’t the biggest fan. This does have a white cast, so isn’t the most suitable for darker skin tone. However, a pro is that this dries back pretty fast and matte, so good for those that are more pale and doesn’t like stickiness of sunscreen
