MyCHELLE Dermaceuticals Sun Shield SPF 28 Unscented (2.3 Fl Oz) - Soothing Reef Safe Sunscreen with Vitamin E and Aloe - TSA Approved. Liquid Zinc Sunscreen for Face and Body

I've been using this sunscreen on and off for few years, and always get back to it, even after trying different brands and solution, so it remains one of my favorites. I had tried several different brands of mineral sunscreens - both sticks and creams, and this one is my go-to for 80% of use cases such as outdoors, beach time, city walk, even office on some days. It is not without drawbacks, but once you learn what to expect, with enough planning, it works.Color: it is a perfect match for my skin tone, none of the other sunscreens that I tried came even close to that (they are either too orange or too white). My skin is between neutral and warm on scale 2 (1 would be the lightest), it is Caucasian mostly.Texture: as with many mineral sunscreens, this one will often have some shine when put on my face, but I don't mind it at all. To me that looks like a "healthy glow" makeup. Sometimes I would gently use a napkin throughout the day to wipe sweat, and that helps a lot. I don't wear my hair open on windy days as they might get stuck. I have this problem with other mineral sunscreens, so it is expected. I have other type of sunscreen for those types of days, but it dries my face, so I always plan what hairstyle to wear vs what sunscreen to use. It might get some time to understand how to spread the sunscreen, as it is somewhat thick - it is easier once you warm it up a bit against your skin.Sun protection: never had problems. I have rosacea, so even short amount of time would create red spots the next day, I am that sensitive even during winter time. This sunscreen always protects me, and I never have problems with it.Skin comfort: it feels very comfortable on my skin throughout the day, I believe my skin is mostly normal or somewhat dry, not sure how that would go with oily skins. A lot of cream based sunscreens make my skin feel dry or sometimes even burn - all for the comfort of being non-sticky; so the choice is often obvious to me in this regard. A big bonus is it never irritated my rosacea; must be all the minimal ingredients.Removal: hydrophilic oil is the best way to remove, as is with other mineral sunscreens. A gentle wash afterwards, and then MLE-based minimal cream to get my skin moisturized.Overall, this is an excellent product in my opinion, but it comes with understanding how to make it work for your lifestyle and use cases. What I had learned is it might be impossible to find the perfect product that works all the time, but this one gets the job done for me for most of my use cases.

I found this product through a friend 7-8 years ago and have never used anything else on my face since! I love that this tinted sunscreen is buildable coverage and it goes on so smooth with a matte finish. I use it as a foundation and everyone always compliments me of my skin and makeup and I am always sure to tell them what I am wearing is only tinted sunscreen. I like rotating between colors depending on the season for my skin tone. I sometimes use both the light and dark colors to contour as well. I love that the ingredients in this sunscreen are very clean which helps prevent random breakouts that most other makeups cause. I wear this sunscreen everyday and even at night when I go out since I swear it looks and gos on better than regular foundation. My only wish is that I found this when I was younger to protect my face when I would go out in the sun as a young girl. I hope they never discontinue this product, I would not know what to do! I recommend it to all my friends and they are all hooked. It's great for those with wrinkles too, my aunt who is in her 60's loves it! It's a great light weight feel. I love that it gives you a natural makeup look almost as if you aren't wearing any but your skin looks like it got color from the natural sun. Such an awesome product.

I’m always on the lookout for mineral spf (> 30) for the face. I look for different ones to put on at home for the beach, to easily reapply at the beach, and for when I am out and about. This is a great one to apply before the beach and while at the beach. You can tell you are wearing it (which helps when applying at home before going in the sun) and it looks a bit solid on, but there is no white cast. I can put this on without a mirror and massage it in a bit (less of a coated/solid look) and not worry I am going to look odd. This brand also makes a more liquid /almost makeup version. I usually use that before I go to the beach AND have used it when I’m to be out and about in the sun but for a more social/day outing occasion versus casual beach. The liquid form is matte but seems to blend in well. Gives some coverage which I find a bit “not me” (I am not a makeup/foundation wearer), but it looks good! I will continue to buy both. Re how well these items work: no burns, no freckling or brown spots, and especially no melasma which I am VERY SUSCEPTIBLE to getting. Phew!!!

I have only been using this product for a couple of weeks, but I so far, so good! I love that the formula is lightweight and does not feel heavy on my skin. I can't stand the feeling of having anything on my face and with this product, I am able to get sun protection and subtly tinted coverage to smooth out my skin tone and imperfections. I don't wear make-up on my face, so this is perfect for me. I also like that it has a matte finish, as my skin tends to get oily/shiny on my "t" zone by the end of the day and the scent was very faint and not overwhelming like some other products. It also held up well when sweating and did not get in my eyes or change in appearance. I did find that it was a bit drying on my forehead and chin area, but that may be partially to blame on the colder weather. Overall, I really like this product and look forward to seeing how well it protects me once the weather gets warmer.

I have spent (wasted) so much money and bought so many similar products, in hopes that I could find one that I would like. EWG's rating brought me to consider this MyChelle product. I absolutely love it! While I agree with others that the bottle/dropper style package is disappointing, the product however is not! It goes on easily, blends in well with no white-cast, matches my skin tone, and provides clean SPF protection. It wears surprisingly well, too, and there is no foul odor. I mention each of the specific items above because alternative, competing clean SPF products have failed on these measures. I will be buying it again!
