Colorescience Total Protection Face Shield SPF 50, 1.8 Fl Oz

My skin is medium/dark tan with pink undertone and is sensitive/ rash prone. I purchased this because it was listed on folliculitisscout.com as a sunscreen that does not cause skin irritation. It does not irritate at all and does not have any ingredients that would flare eczema / rosacea/ psoriasis/seborrheic acne/ etc. This sunscreen is very much like a sheer foundation. ( I chose matte) I was afraid it might look too much like makeup, which I really didn't want. I wanted a natural look without having the ghost pale look of sunscreen. This was perfect for my skin. Blended in perfectly without looking like sunscreen or makeup. It has a very nice finish. It is described as matte, but I would call it a natural finish, not too overly matte. I took five different face sunscreens on my most recent vacation and ended up using only this. It is pricey but good! I will be wearing this all summer.

I love this brand of sunscreen for the face. Colorscience Classic goes on smooth and blends in with my natural fair coloring. It protects my skin well. I use it every day since my dermatologist kept reminding how important it is to protect my skin.

Love this! Blends into natural skin color so well. Coverage is great without looking cakey or like heavy makeup but evens out skin tone and lasts all day. Doesn’t dry my skin. I’m 50+ and don’t even use moisturizer before applying. Apply with fingers and use a brush with powder and again, lasts all day! I don’t use anything else. However I do NOT like their color sciencepowder. It’s horrible. But I love the Younique pressed powder with it. Bought on a whim to get spf and so glad I did. Tried It brand and some others and none compares!

Initially I really loved how this sunscreen made my skin look. The tint provided enough coverage to even my skin tone and hide my remaining melasma. It gives a very nice glow that doesn’t look too greasy. I have dry skin, and this was moisturizing enough for summer; although I would probably need a moisturizer first in winter. After using this product for many weeks however, I realized that it leaves residue on my hair making it feel chalky and dry. I’ve tried different techniques of washing my hands really well after so I don’t spread residue to my hair when I fix it, but I found it still made it’s way into my bangs. I even tried pulling my hair back and wait an hour before putting it down but inevitably my hair got this dirty chalky feel to it. It makes me feel dirty which is enough to deter me from wanting to use it exclusively. I wanted to use a tinted physical sunscreen to stop the pigmentation to my melasma, but I just prefer how chemical sunscreens feel. I started to use this over my cheekbones after I apply my chemical sunscreen to help deflect blue light, but I think going forward I’ll just purchase a more affordable option if it is going to be used on such a small area.

Very nice mineral sunscreen. Easy to apply, long lasting and effective. Very pricey, good to get it on Prime Day.

I have been using Colorscience Total Protection Face Shield SPF 50 Original color for over 5 years. I love that the color blends with your skin so well and provides a natural looking finish. It does not cover all of my dark spots or defects, but it makes my natural skin look better. The finish is soft and silky and the 50 helps protect my skin from additional sun damage. If you are looking for a more natural finish, this is a great choice.

The best sunscreen I’ve ever used in my 30+ years of life

My skin is Fitzpatrick type 2, cool tone, oily, acne-prone, redness-prone, and sensitive. I did a LOT of research before buying this product since it is pricey. I was hoping this would be my holy grail sunscreen like it is for some many others, but sadly it is not. It never dries down, even after repeated times trying to rub it in. I can look in the mirror and see the microdots of peachy color all over my face and lines under my eyes. I use minimal skincare, so I know it’s not reacting/interfering with other products. It is super shiny and settles into my wrinkles. (Mine aren’t even that bad, but who needs their lines to look worse?!). My family made multiple comments about my shiny skin. (Different from oily) It is fine under makeup, but it always makes my skin feel heavy. To be fair, I use the AAD recommended amount of 1/4t for my face alone because I am serious about my skin and sunscreen. It didn’t irritate my skin or make my face break out, which is great. But I cannot get over the shiny, heavy feeling, and it making my skin look bad all day. This is also way too expensive for what it is. I am willing to pay for quality holy grail products, especially since sunscreen is the #1 most important predict in your routine, but this isn’t worth the price. I also do not like that you have to shake the product every time you use it (personal preference). So I am off to find another one. Sunscreen is so important that you should enjoy using it, and I dreaded this one every morning. (Used another one for touch ups throughout the day). Side note, I ordered in May and it expired in August of the same year. Usually with sunscreens, they have a 2-3 year shelf life. And this bottle doesn’t seem to be recyclable, at least in my area. One star off for the formulation and one star off for the price/bottle/small size.

Recommended, perfect as a base for make up too!

To be honest I love it more than flex! It suits my skin color so well, it gives you a very light coverage, it’s more like your skin but better. I don’t feel it on my skin and it doesn’t break me out. I have combination/oily skin and during the day it feels perfect. Of course safe and quality ingredients, good protection level. Highly recommend.

Way better than most (even Beet Shield) that I have tried. NO CAST. I prefer mineral over chemical and this one worked really great. It feels great on skin. I just wish it came in a larger size as well. This one is pocket-friendly but given how much it gets used, its quite small.

Perfecto

No es para mí, pero siempre es un buen producto de gran calidad
