Mineral Crème SPF 50 Sunscreen for Face – Water-Resistant, Broad Spectrum UV Protection – Blendable Micronized Zinc Oxide – Smooth, Natural Matte Finish

5 Stars!! It works! This is so much more than sunscreen. Highly recommend. First, the lotion works-spent two active days in the Bahamian sun and this is great skin protection. No burns. Second, the matte finish is very cool and smooth. Third, the Cranberry emulsion is a special ingredient that heals the skin, reduces stress, and aids recovery. Free radicals out. Finally, packaging. Ergonomic sports design - easy to use. Believe me - this sounds obvious but it is not - I have had sunscreen containers explode with embarrassing results. These Doctors have figured it out. Brilliant.

The mineral SPF 50 cream from MD Solar Sciences is a great sunscreen for my combination skin. It's quite hydrating (almost oily/greasy when first applied), but without making my skin oily. I personally prefer mineral sunscreens (although the formula is never as elegant as a good formulated chemical one), since chemical sunscreen ingredients irritate sometimes my skin (and my eyes). The consistency of the sunscreen is creamy, but not very thick (as most SPF 50 products are), somewhat lightweight and oily (you need to shake it before applying, otherwise there's some separation). It indeed applies silky smooth and wears wonderfully under make-up all day long. But since it's hydrating, I need to let it sink into the skin for 5-10 minutes before applying foundation; if the sunscreen doesn't dry out enough on the skin, the make-up applies bad. It somewhat helps to blur fine lines and wrinkles, but nothing too impressive. On my skin the finish is not truly matte; more like velvety satin, with a touch of dewiness. But overall I think it makes my skin look great under make-up and I noticed I get less oily towards the end of the day than usual. I can definitely feel this sunscreen on my face, but it's a `veil` like feel, not a `heavy cream` feel. It's still a mineral sunscreen and will somewhat clog the pores and I can feel it on my skin. But I do a good cleanse in the evening so I had no issues with breakouts from this cream. The formula is definitely more lightweight than most mineral sunscreen products. Surprisingly for a mineral sunscreen, there's barely any white cast once the cream is set to the face (but I have a light-medium skin tone, darker complexions might have different experiences). I also like the formula of this sunscreen, without fragrance and other irritants; it's a good mix of mineral SPF for sun protection, silicone for smoothness (and priming) and some antioxidants (so good for the skin during sun exposure). It's a pricey SPF, but a great one.

This is by far one of the best sunscreens I have ever used!!! I cannot recommend this product enough. It is so lovely that I have even replaced my face moisturizer with this! It feels like a whipped butter consistency (in the best way). It is incredibly smoothing, light, soft, and blurring. There is no harsh rubbing process needed. It glides on smoothly and leaves no white cast. I very much value and prioritize chemical-free, 100% mineral formulas, and I have yet to find one so incredible!!!

If you're stuck using mineral sunscreens because you're allergic/have reactions to regular ones, you know that they come with several downsides: they tend to be hard to spread on your skin (like glue), they leave your skin looking white, and they're expensive. Having tried A LOT of these sunscreens, this is one of the two I now buy regularly. I would say it does MUCH better than most as far as ease of spreading it. It's very smooth, like a regular sunscreen, without being runny. That's really helpful. It also does better in terms of the white cast--it's much less visible. That said, like other mineral sunscreens, the stuff sits on your skin (it's never really absorbed), so you'll leave white stains on anything your skin touches (your house, your car, your dog...). If I put this on before getting in the car, I first put towels all over the seat and armrest to try to minimize the problem, but there will still be stains here and there (which you can generally wipe off). It's also hard to wash off--I had to buy an "exfoliating" washcloth to remove the stuff when I shower in the evening (it won't really come off otherwise). This is not a cheap sunscreen, but it's cheaper than the other one I buy; all the cheaper ones I tried ended up in the cemetery because they were just awful. So, there you have it. It's a sad state of affairs with these sunscreens; I'm increasingly wearing long pants and long sleeves even in the heat just to avoid putting goop all over myself. We need someone to invent a better and more affordable product!

Die Sonnencreme enthält relativ viel Silikon und fühlt sich damit eher wie ein Primer an. Wenn man also noch zu Make-up greift, ist das ein super Produkt. Die Pigmente in der Sonnencreme sind nur dafür da Weißeln auszugleichen, haben aber keine sichtbare Abdeckung. Das Finish ist seidig, nicht matt, aber auch nicht glänzend.

I’m looking for a physical sunscreen during pregnancy that’s high in SPF, easy to spread and suitable for oily skin in hot weather, and this is the one! Skin tone looks beautiful when wearing it! No white cast but slightly brighten up compared to tinted spf, really like it.

Le produit sèche ma peau en dessous les yeux au point ou des rides profondes apparaissent la ou avant je n'en avais pas. Horrible !

I came to know this product from my sister and it’s really good! Worth the price. I hope to find the same item here in UAE.
