Left a white cast and was not easily absorbed by skin

This lotion is matte but it goes on thick and is hard to rub in evenly. There are better choices out there. 

I love that this has Zinc & Titanium in it (utmost importance for spf). It is mattifying and does not pill under my makeup. I use this as my last step before applying makeup. My husband started using it and asked me to order one for him too. 

This is my favorite face sunscreen. It has great zinc oxide content and it has a bit of a white sheen, but it goes away quickly and my skin feels protected. I prefer this thicker texture over more of a cream/moisturizer texture.

Thick and sticky to apply. Leaves a white cast unless rubbed in very well, which tugs on skin. Can find it stuck in my eyebrows and hairline when go to do makeup.  It feels good on the skin though. I don’t feel greasy or occluded or itchy. Hasn’t broken me out. Came in beauty box full size. Will finish but not repurchase. 

REN’s mineral sunscreen doesn’t work well with my skin. The product I received is very thick in texture. I hate when sunscreens leave a white film and this one did. After applying a thin layer, it left the texture of my skin borderline sticky. Even worse, my skin felt heavy with that product throughout the day. But like I said, I didn’t apply a lot…it was a very thin layer that I applied. The good news is that it stayed on my face all day long. The bad news is that about 6 hours after application, I dabbed at a fallen eyelash near my eye and barely touched my eye in the process. But my eye started burning because of the sunscreen. Even after so many hours, the chemical finish persisted and burned my eye so bad I had to flush my eye.   It’s just too fussy of a product - too thick, too chemically, doesn’t age well throughout the day. Awful. 

I am really enjoying this sunscreen. It applies to my skin after all my skincare products very well and absorbs nicely. As it advertises it does leave you with a nice mattifying look which I prefer because most sunscreens make my face too shiny. This was a nice size sample that I received as part of my Beautyfix subscription.. it made this month’s box worth the money. 

Love it! I mix it with my Dior tinted cream and in combination it looks great -- the tinted cream removes the white cast that REN has. I love REN products and would buy this one again. It doesn't have the heavy feeling, I love it!

This sunscreen does not leave your skin feeling greasy in the slightest bit but does, as others have mentioned, leave a white cast that is difficult to rub in even on my fair skin. I have reactive skin and there was no irritation with this sunscreen.

For some reason, I get dermatitis from most sunscreens. This is the only one I've been able to find that does not cause a reaction to my face and décolleté. It dries matte and is not greasy. Although there definitely is a white cast, I apply in layers to rub everything in so I don't find it to be too bad. It makes my pores and skin look better than if I hadn't applied any sunscreen.
