ColorescienceTotal Protection Face Shield Flex SPF 50, 1.8 fl. oz.

I found this product from an ad as I was scrolling Instagram. I normally don't pay much attention to those, but the girl in the ad really did a good job, unlike most of the annoying as heck "influencers" I see these days. I am pushing 50 with mature, oily skin and have been struggling to find light but decent coverage with SPF. I have been using IT Cosmetics illuminating CC cream for years, but it tends to sit on my skin and get greasy and separate and slide off. I recently tried the highly rated La Roche-Posay tinted sunscreen and that was way too thin and watery, not enough coverage. I decided to try this product, intrigued by the way it starts out white but matches your skin tone. This stuff is magic. And it only takes a small amount! It looks like makeup but it's sunscreen. The coverage level is perfect, and and it was also important to me that there were no benzones as the sunscreen ingredient. This is mineral, zinc oxide. I absolutely love this product. I highly recommend it!!!

At 51, my skin has changed a lot — especially in the past few years. Traditional foundation started to feel heavy and would settle into fine lines, making them more noticeable instead of less. I honestly thought I was just stuck choosing between coverage and comfort... until I found this.The Flex SPF 50 in medium has completely replaced my foundation. It goes on white at first, but then magically blends in and matches my skin perfectly. The finish is smooth, glowy, and natural — no cakey buildup, no creasing. Just even, radiant skin with real protection.It stays put all day, even in heat and humidity, and the water-resistant claim is absolutely legit. I posted a photo of myself after getting out of the ocean — I had just gone in for a quick dip, and it still looked flawless. I actually feel fully covered and protected, but not like I’m wearing anything heavy on my skin.If you’re looking for something that gives you a natural glow, real SPF protection, and zero fuss — this is it. I’ll never go back to traditional makeup again.

Colorescience has completely changed how I feel about wearing sunscreen daily. I’ve tried so many SPFs that felt greasy, caused breakouts, or left a white cast — but this one checks every single box.It’s lightweight, blends beautifully, and actually makes my skin look better. I love that it’s mineral-based and safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin. The tint gives just enough coverage to even out my tone, and it doesn’t feel like I’m wearing anything at all.Bonus: the brush-on version is perfect for reapplying on the go without messing up makeup. Total game changer!Yes, it’s a bit of a splurge — but for clean ingredients, flawless finish, and top-notch sun protection, it’s 100% worth it. I’ll never go without it again!

I have tried other tinted sunscreens and my face broke out. I have had no issues with the Colorscience tinted sunscreen. High Quality Tinted Sunscreen. This one is slightly more expensive than other brands, however so far it has been worth the few extra $$.

I’m in my early 50’s and have been a diehard fan of the tinted La Roche-Posay Anthelios for many years. I decided to give this a try because I wanted something a little less shiny. I don’t wear foundation usually and I also thought this might be a closer match to my skin tone and a better “in-between” as an alternative to foundation. The color effect is perfect. The medium color does walk the line between sunblock and foundation in an amazing “airbrushed” way. I do have two initial issues with it, though. First, it’s much harder to apply, because I have to rub it in longer to make it absorb. (Though this indicates that I need less product.) Secondly, and time will tell if it’s a dealbreaker, my skin is dryer. This might prove to be a blessing over the summer and because of the fantastic color match I’m willing to give it a shot. I will say, if you’ve tried La Roche and found it too dewy and maybe a little less than optimal as a color match, this would be perfect. It’s thick, blends well and dries matte. Others have mentioned the price, but I’d say because it’s high coverage, a bottle will last longer than it seems and all of the great sunblocks are pricy.

The product starts out white, but you don’t have to waste it putting it in your hand you can put it directly on your face and rub in circles. I’m absolutely am amazed how it dries with a perfect finish to look like light foundation. I use it everyday in place of foundation now.

This stuff is the most amazing sunblock!, It not only has great coverage it has amazing protection. I have melasma so I have to wear foundation and sun block religiously and this stuff covers better then my foundation, I have not even had to wear both. I will never buy another sunblock again. Customer for life!!!!

I love the look and feel of this product. However, there are two issues for me that might not apply to others. I had to buy two shades to mix together to get closer to my skin tone. I know CS has recently added 2 more shades to their collection. The other issue is that it is making me breakout. Again, might not apply to others as this is the second tinted sunscreen that I breakout from.
