Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Flex SPF 50 1.8 fl. oz. - Fair Customer Reviews

My everyday sunscreen/foundation

I absolutely love this stuff. It goes on nice and smooth and doesn't feel heavy on my face. I have a bit of a pinker/warmer undertone to my face and this matches perfectly.

Exceeded Expectations

I find that tinted sunscreens tend to be a little orange on me, or are very sheer and create a “glow” that I find difficult to wear to work. For me, the finish on this is perfect. Very skin like and somehow creates the perfect shade for me. Most days I forego foundation if I am wearing this. I’m so glad I took a chance on this product.

A little but goes a long way!

I was looking for a tinted sunscreen and love this one! Fair warning, this definitely has an oily feel / finish so if that’s not something you like definitely pass. A little bit does go a long way and the coverage is nice!

Not the best for oily skin

If you have combo to oily skin it is absolutely necessary to use a mattifying primer (I use this brand's mattifying primer and I highly recommend to use together), otherwise I really love how it gives me a no-makeup look and evens my skin tone

Beware the label "fair"

I purchased this in the shade "fair." Warning: by "fair", this product really means, "alabaster pale, paper white." Purchase "fair" in this product only if your complexion is gothic white. I will need to re-purchase this in the middle shade. Colorescience really needs to re-label the shade range of this product. I consider myself "fair," in that I am not medium-toned, not olive-skinned. I am on the lighter side of the shade range in most products. My constant issue with sunscreens is that they are too orange or too dark. One youtube video reviewer I watched said that she used this product in the middle shade because her face was tanner due to the summer season, so I figured, ok, I am definitely not tanning my face so I'll purchase the fair shade. Which was a mistake and now I have to bother with returning it.

The best sunscreen on the market

This is a general review for color science as a brand whether you like this sunscreen or another type. I have always always always struggled with sunscreen making me break out. ColorScience has never done that to me, it’s smooth, light weight, and not grossly oily on your face, you barely noticed you have it on. I love all color science products.

Good but needs more shades/undertones!

This is more full coverage than the original sunforgettable and overall a good product but the fair shade is not a match for me. It has a yellow undertone but my skin has pink undertones. The original is actually a better match for me since it has pink undertones. But if you've tried the original and want something that gives more coverage it's worth a try.

Superb Sunscreen

My absolute favorite sunscreen for the face. For context, I am half Asian and have pale and sensitive skin. This sunscreen does not irritate my skin at all, is not too oily, and not too drying (even some Elta sunscreens can be a bit drying on my face once they dry). The “fair” color option is beautiful and natural looking on my skin. It’s the ONLY tinted sunscreen I’ve tried that doesn’t make my look even slightly yellow or orange. It leaves a slightly luminous look to my skin - not oily, but more like a very healthy and moisturized skin. My dermatologist even complimented my skin the day I arrived with this on and said to “keep doing what I’m doing.” I’m also still amazed this is a 100% mineral sunscreen.

Thick & cakey - stick with regular Sunforgettable sunscreens

The Flex version of sunforgettable sunscreen is disappointing. As others have commented, it’s thick & very hard to blend. I can feel it “sitting” on top of my skin, doesn’t absorb well - looks too cakey. The regular, bronze & glow sunforgettable sunscreens are my absolute holy grail favorites, stick with those over the Flex. I have been mixing Flex with the glow version which has helped me use bottle up. Will not repurchase Flex.
