   I agree with the reviewer below on this one, they are spot on. I keep searching for a tinted mineral screen that matches my NC20 skin and this does a great job. The pinkish tint goes on slightly ghostly but blends in great. Elta MD, AG and Cerave physical sunscreens are too yellow/orange and don’t match me well. This is very thin and liquidy, formula needs to be shaken. Something in it stings my skin a little at first but mellows out (Elta MD Elements does this as well). Feels great and light once dry and it does not highlight my older, dry skin with larger pores. My perfect sunscreen has all of this and is easily found at the drugstore for under 20.00 so this doesn’t check those boxes. I got it on sale for around 30.00. It is an elegant sunscreen that actually matches my skin tone and I am happy to have found it. Until I find my holy grail, this works great.

   I got a sample of this mineral sunscreen (which lasted about 3 applications) and was impressed enough to shell out for the full size. I wear this alone on my no-makeup days. The formula is a silky, thin liquid that spreads easily. The tint is on the pale side with a pink base – I’d guess it’s about an NC20 – with a slight bit of a pearl finish (if the Elta MD tinted sunscreens are too dark/too warm for you this would be a good alternative). The color is actually too light for me but I noticed that once it absorbs it doesn’t look so pale and it does give the skin a nice glow. There is very slight smell when first applied but this quickly dissipates. The formula says that it also blocks blue light, infrared light, and acts as a pollution shield, but it’s hard to tell if those things are actually happening. But it is moisturizing and comforting on dry skin (I think it might be a bit heavy for oilier skin). I haven’t experienced any breakouts or clogged pores. My only complaint about this product is the shiny finish. I have to apply MAC oil blotting powder on top to cut the shine, but it does last all day. Also you will need a cleansing oil to remove this product.
