MDSolarSciences Mineral Creme SPF 50 Broad Spectrum UVA-UVB (1.7 oz.)

I was not expecting the texture and finish of this sunscreen. It feels exactly like a makeup primer. If you already wear both sunscreen and primer, then this is a great product for you. If you don’t like the silicone feel of a primer, you probably won’t like this sunscreen. I appreciate the velvet skin look but I just can’t stand the way it feels on my skin. I was shocked (but glad) that it didn’t make me breakout. I really wanted to love this but I will not be purchasing it again. 

I've been looking around for a new sunscreen and decided to try to popular mineral sunscreen that has been recommended from many sites and people. This sunscreen left an oily residue on my face that lasted all day. It does not sink in. I don't agree with the description of this product at all of being "barely-there" and "lightweight". It also made my face SO dry. My face felt super dry and made my dry spots worse. I thought maybe I applied it wrong but I research how to apply and tried it over a week and still same result.

Daily sunscreen is very essential for me. I was using Elta MD sheer sunscreen but I learned it had Octinoxate as an ingredient, so I searched for a substitute. MD Solar Sciences is the winner! It goes on smoothly, leaves no white cast on my tan skin, feels light, no tacky smell, plus no harmful ingredients. It also doesn't cause me to break out or get shiny. Absolutely love this!

I really enjoy this sunscreen. It has a very rich texture, so better for drier skin, but feels very nice on the skin. No irritation.

this is a great sunscreen but thick so better for winter months when you need the extra moisture.

This a very good physical sunscreen and it has no niacinamide, which is something I wanted. This sunscreen is especially good for warmer months because it dries matte. It also has a lot of silicone so that helps control the oil production. I have light/medium skin tone and there is a little cast from the zinc.

I wouldn't say this is my favorite sunscreen but its definitely the one I reach for occasions where a spf50 is needed. It goes on your skin smoothly and comfortably. It has a slight light neutral hue to it making it very suitable for my light Asian skin tone. My face can only tolerate mineral sunscreen so I really appreciate how a high spf and non-greasy mineral sunscreen like this one exist. I don't really like the packaging though.

So I had ordered 3 different spf face lotions cause the one I used to used from Avene is discontinued. I only like matte finish sunscreen and finding one is very difficult. 2 of the 3 I bought were oily despite saying matte. This one is actually matte. Is goes on super smooth, leaves the skin soft and isn't greasy at all. Great protection throughout the day. No white film either. It feels exactly like my Hourglass Primer.

As far as protecting me from the sun, this gets 5 out of 5 stars. But I'm of medium complexion, and you can really see the white cast on my face despite me warming it up in my fingers and rubbing it in well. It also doesn't rub into my hairline well so it makes it look like I have dandruff (I have dark hair). Overall, I would not purchase again, but if you have light skin (and hair), this sunscreen may be a blessing for you.

I got this by accident and I was a little hesitant as sunscreen has the tendency to make me break out, but I love it! It goes on smooth, doesn't leave any chalky residue, and blends nicely under makeup. Definitely perfect for summer, highly recommend.
