Cotz flawless complexion sunscreen2/27/2024 I think I'll save this for when I apply makeup (which isn't very often) instead of for daily use. It also never feels like it "sets" on my skin, it remains slippery all day, which made me concerned that it was moving too much and not giving me good protection. It sinks into my fine lines and despite the dewy finish, it dried my skin out. After a few days of use though I decided I didn't like it that much. At first, I actually loved this sunscreen and thought it might be HG despite the steep price. It is actually advertised as a primer, and it does indeed look great under makeup. This does not sting my eyes, even if I rub it all over my lids. This sunscreen is extremely watery, I would actually apply it directly to my face because squirting it onto my fingers was wasting too much product. It comes out of the bottle white, but it contains "color-adapting micro-encapsulated pigments" that are supposed to match your skin, which worked perfectly for me anyway. However, this sunscreen is very cosmetically elegant. The price is the biggest problem, it was almost $45 including tax for a tiny bottle. Review: Next I tried this one because I could also get it locally at Sephora. bareMinerals Prep Step Mineral Shield SPF 50Īctive ingredient(s): 23.8% Zinc Oxide, Titanium Dioxide 4.1% It also transfers on to anything I wore and stung my eyes a little if I got any too close to that area. I'd only wear this if you're staying at home or actually on a beach where the white cast isn't so embarrassing, but even then I find this stuff so hard to spread that reapplying is a bother. It is far from being cosmetically elegant and I don't think I'd ever try wearing makeup over it. It's thick, hard to spread, and leaves a comical white cast. This sunscreen has the consistency of diaper cream. I don't know who Neutrogena is fooling here, this stuff is NOT sheer or "dry-touch" AT ALL. I actually own both the face and body version of this sunscreen and I'd say they are essentially the same formula. Review: This is the first pure mineral sunscreen I ever tried as it was easily available to me at my local pharmacy. Neutrogena Sheer Zinc Face Dry-Touch SPF 50 For white cast, I rated them 0-5, 0 meaning zero white cast. I use 1/4 tsp of sunscreen just for my face. Please note that all the prices are in Canadian dollars. My skin type is dry and my main skin concerns are anti-aging and redness. For the record, I am a 30-year-old female with fairly light skin (not sure what I am in Mac's foundation, but I am "fairly medium" in bareMineral's original foundation). Each of these sunscreens has more than 20% zinc oxide, but they perform very differently. I've been on the hunt for a cosmetically elegant mineral sunscreen with a high zinc oxide content.
