Red Bumps

My face didn’t burn from the sun but it broke out in little raised bumps. If you have sensitive skin or dislike acne I’d keep shopping.

perfect everyday sunscreen

i LOVE this formula. it’s smooth and absorbs easily on dry skin (a little goes a long way, idk how people find this greasy when i have oily skin and this makes my skin matte), and it doesn’t break me out - the zinc makes a huge difference in my skin. i’ve struggled with hormonal acne for years and this is the only sunscreen that doesn’t irritate my skin at all, and i even notice more inflammation on days that i miss putting it on. this formula is seriously lifechanging. it’s a mineral sunscreen so the white cast is a concern if you don’t have very light skin, but it may disappear under makeup

lovee

I have tried quite a few mineral sunscreens and this is by far my favorite. I have very dry combo/acne prone skin, and sensory processing disorder so I am very picky about how sunscreen feels on my face. This one goes on like others and feels a bit shiny at first but by the time im walking out the door it's dried down and feels like my natural skin again, not greasy at all. I have a light skin tone, and it does not leave a whitecast on me like other sunscreens have. I love the shaker bottle design, its convenient to keep a bottle in the car or my purse. It's very affordable for the quality of the formulation in my opinion. I researched the ingredients and theyre all non-comedogenic, so this product should not cause breakouts.

Scent free mineral sunscreen

Love this sun screen! I use it daily on my face and tops of my hands. Since it’s a mineral sunscreen there is no scent which is nice! It’s easy to apply and works well under makeup.

My favorite summer time face SPF

This is my favorite mineral sunscreen to use for my face when I am going to be out in the sun, especially in the summer when I go to the pool or the beach. It is non-scented and the texture is very smooth and creamy. It does leave a white cast but it absorbs quickly into my skin and leaves me very well protected. It is non irritating and my very sensitive skin never breaks out after I use it. I will always repurchase this!

Best sunscreen under makeup

This sunscreen works wonderfully under makeup and doesn’t pile. It doesn’t cause drying or breakouts on my oily skin. Leaves a slight white cast but it’s not something I mind.

Love

I’m on my second bottle of this and I have only good things to say. I’m someone who’s acne prone, I get clogged pores and fungal acne really easily and this is one of the only sunscreen whose ingredients are both acne/fungal safe. I also have brown complexion and I haven’t had any issues with a white cast. At first it does look like it’s gonna leave a white cast but just be patient and rub it in for a minute or two and itll go away I promise. It gives me a very healthy skin glow which I love. It doesn’t sting my eyes, it layers good with other products and under makeup as well. 10/10 in my opinion

Nice SPF

Cetaphil sheer mineral spf drops is a lightweight sunscreen. The texture is more similar to a serum so it blends in nicely. I like that it is SPF 50, I don’t tend to go for anything less. The only downside it is white, so you do have to ensure to rub in entirely, if it were tinted I would have given 5 stars.

Favorite mineral sunscreen

This is my absolute favorite mineral sunscreen that I’ve been using for many years. I love this liquid formula so much because it’s not heavy or chalky or sticky on my skin. There is a white cast which I don’t mind. If you have very fair skin this leaves a nice tone-up brightening finish. The packaging is the perfect size to bring on the go and I love the shaker bottle. The price is great and it’s from a brand and company I can trust to keep my skin protected from the sun.
