EltaMD UV Skin Recovery Face Sunscreen with Zinc Oxide, All Mineral, Safe for Sensitive Skin SPF 50

At 37 years old, it has become apparent how important a good skincare routine is. It used to be so easy to put any foundation or bb cream, on and just go, let’s just say we cannot do that anymore!I have very dry fair, cool toned skin with redness. So covering that while still hydrating my skin is extremely hard, even with bb and cc creams or tinted moisturizers. I have found the majority of them lean more warm toned and even the lightest, which makes me look orange. From cakey to orange, it’s just not a great situation.Whole I have dry skin, it really isn’t bad but I want to even out my skin tone because of redness and dry skin.I was definitely influenced by TikTok with this product, but let me tell you that it does exactly what it says it does. It instantly removes the majority of the redness in my face, while keeping it protected from the sun and evens out my skin tone. I feel like it is also working to resolve the overall issue of redness too.It is expensive, but from what I seen, it lives up to the hype. I haven’t tried it under a cc cream or foundation, but using it with some blush, concealer, and bronzer, definitely works! I also like that I can use my HSA for it too!

I bought this to use after getting a chemical peel, after which sun protection is crucial. (It’s crucial anyway if you care about skin aging. But in this case scarring can result if you’re not careful.) I was looking for something suitable for very sensitive skin, and particularly without niacinamide, which is normally a benign ingredient, but my skin reacts poorly to it. I had some reservations about a sunblock the same color as a shamrock shake, but it’s basic color theory and the green tint just tones down redness. You will not look green. I had zero burning or stinging, even in places that were scabbed. I just patted a mineral foundation over it, and off I went. I could see this being a great option for people with rosacea.Note that this makeup is not intended for swimming or heavy sweating, but if you’re recovering from a procedure you probably wouldn’t be doing those things anyway.

Expensive but very nice texture on face and doesn’t burn my eyes. Very moisturizing. I heard it’s good for reducing sun damage while indoors through windows too. Recommended by dermatologist.

Absolutely amazing. Color corrects redness on your face. And feels weightless. No white cast either. Really good under makeup

Let me start by saying: if you've been traumatized by sunscreens of the past — the ones that turn you into Casper the Friendly Ghost or cause Mount Breakout to erupt on your forehead — this little miracle in a tube is your redemption arc.✔️ No white cast? Confirmed. I no longer look like a Victorian child ghost.✔️ No clogged pores? Also confirmed. My skin is smooth, not suffocating.✔️ Actually works? Yep. My face has seen more sun than a lifeguard's whistle and hasn't burned once.✔️ Worth the price? For a sunscreen that doesn't betray me, absolutely.Now, fair warning: this baby might pill if you layer it on top of certain serums or moisturizers (I see you, overly ambitious 10-step routines). So maybe don’t cocktail your entire skincare shelf and expect it to play nice. But honestly? That’s a small price to pay for functional, invisible, non-pore-destroying SPF.Buy it. Your face will thank you. Probably with fewer zits.

I don’t understand how this product has so many positive issues. Perhaps I received a defective product? Because this is by far the WORST sunscreen I have tried at any price point in the past 10 years. Although this was recommended to me by a trusted online source and the brand has past made several tried and true items for others, I could NOT get this product to spread across my skin without pilling, balling up, flaking into pieces, wadding into disgusting globs, and then FALLING IN CHUNKS throughout my hair and face, making this unlike anything I’ve ever used before and more importantly making the SPF and alleged color correcting ENTIRELY ineffective. Even with nothing on my face and several attempts using different approaches, this product would not blend into my skin. Every single time, it would pill so badly that it entirely removed itself leading me to eventually wash my face AND hair only to reapply one of my any other Korean, Japanese, or American mineral sunscreens. Disgraceful, even if the product was FREE. I’d give zero stars if I could. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS.

Bought this for redness around my nose area I'm really impressed. It's great on its own but I've now started putting it on top of Azelaic Acid, which also decreases redness, for a combined effect and the results are amazing. No pilling if you wait 20 minutes. I even sometimes put it on at night now even though its sunscreen, as I want to achieve a decrease in redness overall with repeated use. Hope it lasts me a while cause yeah, expensive...

I wanted to love this sunscreen. It’s lightweight. Blends in well. Doesn’t make my skin look dewy/greasy (i hate a dewy finish!). I also didn’t notice a white cast, even after second application — I’m medium-skinned, Hispanic, neutral undertones. First application was mostly okay. My eyes felt a little sensitive, but I wasn’t sure if it was my contacts. About 15-20 minutes after second application, my eyes began to feel even more irritated. If your eyes can tolerate it, this is probably as good as it gets in terms of mineral sunscreens. However, my sensitive eyes cannot handle it.
