I've been a fairly loyal customer to the tinted mineral sunscreen by EltaMD for ~2 yrs, and was recommended this product by my dermatologist for my melasma. The product is a fairly thin, runny consistency that blends extremely well into the skin and leaves a natural finish. The reason for 3 stars however, is that this is a VERY warm undertone (the suncreen comes out nearly rust colored). As someone with very yellow/olive undertones it leaves too much of a warm finish for me to wear confidently out unfortunately. I can see this working very well for people with medium or richer skin tones w/ red undertones. I think if you are someone who does regularly like to use tanning face drops, however, this would be a great alternative too!!

This is too dark for my fair complexion by itself. The untinted version leaves the slightest white cast in my stubble. So, I create my own custom blend and it's perfect! I find a ratio of 1 part tinted to 3 parts untinted creates the perfect shade for my complexion. This also keeps my skin calm, even, and happy throughout the day. Also, it doesn't rub off on white collars and washes of the face with my simple cleanser. My only complaint is the bottle design - the top side of the bottle is not flat which is annoying when using it. After taking the cap off, I have to lean the bottle against something while applying until I can recap. Why wouldn't the top be flat to prevent tipping over and spilling while in use? I would still recommend despite this design flaw.

As other reviewers have stated, the tint is quite dark. I have fair skin and this will only work for me during the summer, when I have a bit of a tan. I didn’t think it went on very smoothly, either. There are definitely other tinted sunscreens I prefer, such as Colorscience. However, one can never have too many sunscreens!

This sunscreen is a bit watery to start,make sure you shake it each time you use it.It has a very nice coloring to it,and gives my face a bit of color,rosy which I like.It goes on easy,and it has a 50SPF which I need and like for my skin,. I have very sensitive skin and it does not bother my skin at all.Also I have to becareful of sunscreens,some bother my eyes,this one does not.I liked it so much I bought na 2nd one so I do not run out.

Love this! I have been using black girl sunscreen for a while and wanted to switch to a physical option so tried the non-tinted version of this and it left a bit of a white cast, so tried this and it’s perfect. Works as a tinted moisturizer to wear on its own and works under makeup too. 

The tint is a little darker than most tinted sunscreens. I find most others can appear a bit pasty. Avene just needs to be shaken vigorously to even out the color. It blends well and it's good for skin that can potentially breakout. It doesn't clog pores. No foundation or bronzer needed over it. It's great on it's own. Love it!

This is the darkest tinted sunscreen I’ve ever tried. It’s like wearing fake tan. Returned.
