MDSolarSciencesMineral Crème Sunscreen SPF 50 | Water-Resistant, Broad Spectrum UV Protection | Zinc Oxide Formula with Antioxidants | No White Cast, Sheer Matte Finish for All Skin Types (3.4 Fl Oz)

I’ve been using the MDSolarSciences Mineral Crème Sunscreen for a little while now, and it’s quickly become my go-to sun protection. I love that it’s mineral-based — feels so much gentler on my skin compared to chemical sunscreens, and it’s perfect for my sensitive skin.The texture is creamy but lightweight, and it blends in really well without leaving that annoying white cast that some mineral sunscreens have. It’s moisturizing too, so I don’t even need to slap on extra lotion underneath.It holds up well during the day, even when I’m outside for hours, and I haven’t had any breakouts or irritation since I started using it. Plus, I feel good knowing it’s reef-safe and better for the environment.If you want an effective, gentle, and eco-friendly sunscreen that actually feels nice on your skin, I’d definitely recommend giving this one a try!

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!!!

This is the best sunscreen I have ever used, and I’ve used many! It is a completely mineral sunscreen, which is very important to me as I have moved away from chemical sunscreens. It is the only mineral sunscreen I’ve used that doesn’t leave a white cast. Many claim to but this one is the real deal. It has a powdery, matte finish and feels lovely going on. H the only sunscreen I look forward to putting on!

This is probably the most elegant PHYSICAL sunblock formula I've come across in a while.Is it perfect? No, but is it one of the most pleasant physical sunblocks I've used? Yes. Will I keep buying/using? Yes.The breakdown:Consistency: feels like a slighter thicker version of SuperGoop's unseen sunscreen, so expect to work it a bit more, but not by much.The white cast: Unfortunately not 100% zero-white-cast but very close. It's very visible when you're first working it in but once you finished applying it is already beginning to fade. That being said it's 10% still visible in a blurring kind of way. If you're used to korean sunscreen you'd basically call this a 'tone-up' effect, where your skin tone looks a little lighter (and more even). I don't mind but maybe others would. Still I would say the lingering white cast is minor enough that if you're for whatever reason desperate to use a physical sunblock, then yea I'd say try this onePairing with makeup: No pilling for me! Similar to supergoop's unseen sunscreen I think the slight siliconey feel acts like a pseudo-primer.The Finish: True to advertisement, it's matte and actually does a good job controlling oil. I notice after 6 hours I look less shiny compared to when I spend 6 hours in chemical sunscreen. This may be a new go-to base for day-looks for me.The coverage: So by 'coverage' I mean how evenly and thoroughly is the sunblock actually protecting you. I use a UV light (briefly! carefully!) whenever trying out new sunblocks because sometimes the 'weightless' sheer formulas also provide very thin coverage. Most physical sunblocks I've tested it's like a solid black wall - you shine the UV light and it's like someone colored in your arm with a sharpie. I would say this physical sunblock's coverage is a little less than that - I think the spreadability is the reason and it's a small price to pay. It's still decent coverage (see my attached photo). My current go-to sunblock is the chemical Joseon Rice Sunblock, which is currently popular in korea. As you can see, both of them have areas of denser vs lighter coverage based on my natural applying motions, but overall provide decent coverage. I'm satisfied but for people who want a steel barrier of physical sunblock, you might opt for a thicker formula than this.The lasting power: It's good. I used the UV-light to compare the coverage when I first apply vs the coverage after 4-6 hours and I still see sunblock on my face (albiet an even lighter, more patchy layer).All in all having been a devoted chemical sunscreener for quite some time, I'm delighted by this example of how far physical sunblocks have come. Based on its characteristics I can see myself wearing it for practical reasons (protect the ocean, matte look for warmer, humid weather, or pregnancy), but also just how well it controls shine of makeup throughout the day. Plus I'm happy it has skin-helping ingredients too.Recommend.

This is SO soft & creamy! It melts right into your skin & perfectly moisturizes without leaving skin oily or greasy. Instead, it provides a nice matte finish, perfect to use as a primer for make-up. I, however, usually go bare-faced, other than this & some undereye cream (Clinique’s repairwear anti-gravity), & feel confident AF! I’ve used it every day now for at least 6 months & won’t be switching to anything else any time soon! There is a slight white cast AT FIRST, but it goes away quickly. I also love how this is SPF 50, as most SPF moisturizers are only 15-35. If you’re on the fence, BUY IT!

This stuff is the best! As someone who wears daily sunscreen I highly recommend this one. Not greasy! Not shiny! Not sticky! No breakouts! This is a nice cream that blends easily and stays Matt finish. It’s also a highly effective SPF. Won’t go one day without this stuff. Worth the price.

Goes on like a foundation so naturally makes you look caked if you want to wear foundation over it. If you are looking for a one and done this could work for you. Was too heavy for my preference

Has the right ingredients. No odor. Love the tinted, which I use with the basic white to match my skin tone. But what sets this apart is the feel! It feels like velvet on my face!! Reminds me of a very expensive primer I used when money was no object. No need for foundation. Plus, it is FSA/HSA! The best sunscreen I have ever used!
