I like the formula even though some may find it greasy. I have it time to dry and be absorbed by my skin. Unfortunately it seems to be pilling. I rather use it indoors for peaking sun-rays during high UV rate and blue light protection. I would use a different brand that has a staying power and I feel comfortable going outside as I’m under hyperpigmentation treatment.

I did a lot of research on sunscreens, and the ingredient list on this one looked good to me. It has 17% zinc and is NAFE-safe plus pa++++ rating, it’s like every essential requirement checked out. Even more premium brands couldn’t do it. My only hesitation was the white cast. It does leave some, but honestly, it’s not too bad. If you take a few minutes to gently rub it in, it blends out much better and becomes way more wearable.
Finally!

I'm on my third bottle of this. It's what I always wanted in a facial sunscreen but struggled to find. It is light, SPF 50 and how a pretty glow. I like how it absorbs great, and it looks fantastic under makeup. It's not greasy. And the price point is fantastic.

I love this sunscreen. I have sensitive skin (eczema prone) and this sunscreen caused zero irritation. I did see some say this sunscreen is horrible, but I think everyone’s skin is different so what might be amazing for me, might not be so great for someone else. With that said, I recently purchased a sunscreen from another company for $150 because it was the latest and greatest in the market. However, that “ground breaking” product is actually what caused irritation on my skin. It’s probably an amazing product for some, but for me it just didn’t work how I would have liked it to. I’ll be sticking with my $20 Prequel mineral sunscreen for now. Great price and value if you ask me. This is coming from someone who generally buys medical/professional grade skincare.

I really love the texture of this sunscreen. It has replaced my morning moisturizer as I find this to be moisturizing enough, and I have DRY skin. I love the high SPF rating and feel good that I am protecting my skin on a daily basis. I follow this up with a tinted mineral sunscreen as my "makeup" and I'm set for the day. Highly recommend!

I absolutely love all of Prequel’s skincare! They have changed my life - literally. I have VERY sensitive skin, acne prone, red, scarred skin. Their products have calmed the pigmentation and helped my skin’s barrier. I cannot say thank you enough. In this photo (no foundation/ concealer on) I am using their mineral sunscreen, liquid lotion, and I had just washed my face with their face wash. Thank you Prequel!

One of the best face sunscreens I've used. Doesn't cause me to break out and I love that it doesn't leave white streaks like other mineral sunscreens.

Not my favorite sunscreen but use it whenever I run out of others. It has a super white cast and takes some time to absorb into the skin. I also find that it makes my skin greasy to the day. I have oily skin and this may do better for those with dry skin.

Blends in easily without white cast, dewy finish, makes my skin feel soft and moisturized! Only complaint (and I’m not sure if this is true, just didn’t see it on the box) is that I don’t think it’s waterproof/resistant?
Love the skincare effect but not the "glow"

This is okay, it's not holy grail at least not for me, but in all fairness I have lots of trouble with mineral sunscreen and Korean brands have completely redefined the game for the industry. On to the review: this has a light white cast on my medium olive skin. I appreciate that the tint is a thoughtful pink and doesn't turn orange on my skin tone. It has a greasy finish. I can't call it dewy on me, and it tends to make my textured areas more visible. It doesn't sting. I believe all the skincare claims, because my skin feels fine under it and when I wash it off, I am super sensitive to everything and didn't give me bumps. It has a light buttery (cocoa-y?) scent that I actually like. Cosmetically, it can't do it under make up. Finally, for me, it didn't pill, even on top of moisturizer and serum.

I was so eager to try Dr. Ellis sunscreen, but when I finally did I was very disappointed. It was greasy and took a good 20-25 minutes before it dried down enough to apply makeup. It was a gal for me.
Not bad but not for me...

Overall this is a decent sunscreen with greath SPF protection however I won't be repuchasing because I find the smell off putting and I have tried other unscented suncreens who's scents that I don't mind. Two pros for this product are that it did not sting around the eyes for me and that it did not leave a cast on my medium-tan skin. If the scent doesn't bother you then I'd say give it a try; however, I wouldn't recommend this product without being asked about it and explaining the contents of my review.

I recently received this and tried it today. I absolutely love this mineral sunscreen. It's a light non-greasy fluid that goes on effortlessly and isn't greasy or sticky. I recently read about a study that mineral based sunscreens work better at blocking uv rays to prevent brown spots and sunburn so I have been trying different brands to find one that goes on smoothly and isn't tacky or leave white residue. I wish it came in a larger size.

As someone with oily acne prone skin, this sunscreen feels a little heavier than I'd like it to be, but it has not seemed to cause any breakouts since I started using it. There is minimal whitecast (I have a lighter skin tone) and very little pilling even though I put it on immediately after moisturizer. Decent replacement for the now discontinued mineral sunscreen from Versed.
good overall product

I like this product, nice mineral sunscreen and doesn't irritate my skin. However it's very greasy on me (combo skin, oily T zone) and re-application led to the product building up over the day. Good for a beach day or yard day but not my favorite to wear to work. I haven't tried layering under make up.

This is one of the best sunscreens I have ever used. It gives your skin a nice glow while providing great protection. It is not greasy but yet it is moisturizing. It works great for rosacea prone skin too without breakouts. I will purchase this product again

Ahh, the endless quest for a perfect sunblock. Expected to return this, but still wanted to give it a try because I had such good results from the other Prequel products. My skin is so darn dry and sensitive, so sunblock is always a problem. It usually makes me itch and get red blotches. Happy to report I have had no itching (wow) and it only dries me out so very, very slightly. I'll continue to use this. I don't think there is dimethicone in it, which was a major selling point.
