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.

It pills on my body a bit. I was not expecting that. I hope the product continues to work after most pills off? Kinda bummed.

I'm sure this is really effective for sun protection, but I had to remove it before seeing out the day, because it was so uncomfortable on the skin. It goes on super thick and WHITE and is hard to spread. The white cast stayed for me. I love that it's natural, but not a winner for me.

This is awful! I'm naturally very pale so I don't mind a slight white cast from sunscreen, but this is so bad! It's also very drying.

This is a great sunscreen but Dermstore sent an Expired one to me just a few days ago. I received the sunscreen in May'21 but it was already expired in April'21! Please stopped sending out expired products.

I like that it offers pretty good protection and is not too thick in consistency. However it does leave a bit of white cast on the skin, so I need to make sure to take time to blend it in.
