This stuff really works! My son didn’t get anyone’s help before he went out (he’s 16)and attempted to put the sunscreen on himself. (He was born with one hand) so he missed half of his back. You can see the difference big time!! And he was in our pool the whole time. About 2-3 hours.

Color: Fair-LightStyle: Tinted Face Mineral Lotion Fair-LightVerified Purchase

This rather oily, easily burned, sensitive skinned, very fair vampire loves loves loves this Australian Gold Botanical 50 Tinted Face sunscreen. I am pretty fair toned- I usually wear the lightest or next to lightest foundation makeup shade. I got this in fair, and was really worried it was going to be too dark for me; miraculously, it wasn’t. (I still can’t believe it. It just adjusts to my skin tone. How does it do that??? It is magic, I tell you.) In winter, when I even more closely resemble snow in color, I’ll need to reevaluate, but I have high hopes.
Also, this (honestly) sets down slightly matte, so I’m not a shiny, greasy immortal by mid-day. I am here to tell you that that is a freakin’ MIRACLE. So many sunscreens *say* they have a matte finish, but they lie. This one is not lying. Didn’t even need to blot! In thousands of years, that has never happened before. Consequently, if your skin is on the drier side, this might not be the thing for you.

This is also great as a makeup primer, but in reality, I don’t even bother with foundation any longer. This is my one and done. (I know I’ve just sent the makeup purists to an early grave, but don’t judge me! This really works!)
Wore this on my face all summer, and never got a burn. Never even got any color. No freckles. That is very good for me and my image.

I will simply need to fling myself into a pit of fire if they ever stop making this. Or maybe just go out into the daylight un-spf’d, whereupon I would instantly disintegrate.

Color: Fair-LightStyle: Tinted Face Mineral Lotion Fair-LightVerified Purchase

I’ve been wearing tinted sunscreen instead of makeup for a while now. I have tried Elta MD Physical and UV Elements, Drunken Elephant, Cetaphil Redness Relief, and Bare Minerals tinted gel cream. They’ve all been good products, although UV Elements was too orange for me. My favorite is Elta MD Physical because I have psoriasis and am very chemically sensitive, which is what that brand focuses on. I wanted to find something more affordable and I had heard a lot of good things about this brand on YouTube. I was actually surprised by how mixed some of the reviews were so it took me a while to purchase this. For my skin, I have been extremely happy with this product. I was nervous the light skin tone would be too light. But the pictures of the medium skin looked very dark. Light works fine for me, and I’m not the palest. The skin match was actually great for my complexion. I found this formula to be incredibly moisturizing without feeling greasy as well. It has shea butter, dimethicone, glycerin and squalene in it. I don’t understand why some people said it dried them out because for me this is one of the most moisturizing tinted sunscreens I have tried. The only downside to me was that it felt a little less “clean” for ultra-sensitive skin compared to Elta MD. It has fragrance hidden as “eucalyptus leaf extract”. At least it’s natural and smells light. It didn't irritate my skin either, its just something to keep in mind. Elta MD has higher concentrations of sunscreen and fewer added chemicals. But this has not upset my skin at all yet, was more moisturizing, and was a good skin color match. For the price I don’t think this product can be beat and I will most likely continue to purchase it.

I have a tinted moisturizer I prefer to this one but the other one runs me a hefty 32.00 for a tiny bit of product. I rarely wear heavy makeup and prefer to use a tinted moisturizer. This one is not as great for covering especially if you are trying to mask discoloration and blemishes however it gives great sun protection and a nice light makeup natural look.
I find if you want a little more coverage but still keeping a natural no makeup look and have protection from sun damage - use this and just add a little loose makeup powder.
Again, it is not your high priced type of product but you get so much of this and it lasts so long it is totally worth it.
While it won't cover your skin like the big brand stuff or thick heavy makeup it will keep your skin safe from the sun and give you a lovely glow.
It goes on smoothly and evenly - easy to apply.
Recommend.

I have been using this product for about 3.5 years now. I like that the product is tinted, matte, and has a decent SPF rating. Most "matter" sunscreens feel oily throughout the day, but this one does not. I have fair skin with neutral undertones. The first application is typically fine, but usually my second application, I notice the undertone is pinker than my own and have to work it into my jawline, so I don't look like I am wearing fake tanner or foundation. This sunscreen is my daily go-to, but if I am in the sun for long periods, I usually use a different sunscreen because I don't want to look pink. I hope Australian Gold will consider expanding the colors and undertones for this product. The value for the price is great.

I have always had an aversion to putting on any sun screen on my face on the daily because it exacerbates my oily T-zone. I decided to try this product because I have an even bigger dislike for wrinkles and looking older. Well, I was not disappointed. As a matter of fact, I was so pleasantly surprised as to how well my skin took to the product. It has made my face pretty matte and I no longer feel like I need to blot my face constantly throughout the day. Even better, is that my skin is now protected from the sun every day! I highly recommend this product.

Found this sunscreen from The Budget Dermatologist's recommendation on Instagram. I love that this sunscreen is mineral and SPF 50. It is not greasy at all. Leaves a great finish on your skin. It is unscented and also gives my face/neck a wash of color. I put this on after my morning skincare routine and it doubles as a light coverage foundation. I use concealer after for under eye and any breakouts. I use a makeup remover balm to take everything off at night. Doesn't break me out. I always keep a backup bottle under my bathroom sink, I love it so much.

Excelente producto, SI SE USA CORRECTAMENTE. Cuando lo empecé a usar no me gustó: sentía que me dejaba la piel tirante, que quedaban trazos visibles y que el color era demasiado claro. ¡Lo estaba aplicando mal!

Ahora lo froto entre mis dedos antes aplicarlo y lo masajeo sobre la cara con las yemas hasta que se absorbe (no es tanto tiempo). Luego lo dejo secar por uno se 5 a 10 minutos y aplico maquillaje sin problemas, de hecho funciona como primer porque deja una textura satinada. Ya no me queda la piel tirante, ni rastros y el tinte se unifica con mi color de piel. Mi tono es medio-claro (base L’Oreal Infallible 105, para referencia) y creo que no funcionaría para tonos más oscuros, lamentablemente.

Una ventaja importante es que con este método de aplicación puedes usar la cantidad correcta de bloqueador, que es abundante (2 g para la cara, sin contar cuello), sin que se sienta grasoso o deje una capa burda.

En fin, lo recomiendo mucho, sobre todo por la relación precio-calidad.

Reviewed in Mexico 🇲🇽 on August 6, 2019

Soy de piel mixta con tendencia al acné, este bloqueador no hizo erupciones, matiza mi piel dado que tengo rojeces, tiene un olor riquísimo a cacahuates que no fastidia y es seguro para los corales. Todo lo que uno desearía en un bloqueador sin tener la sensación pegajosa que todos detestamos y nos hace no usar protección solar. Adoro que sea vegano y libre de crueldad animal, sin embargo al ser mineral, te cuesta más trabajo quitarlo de la piel, es necesario tallar bien para quitarlo por completo. Lo volvería a comprar.

Viene sellado como aparece en la fotografía, entonces no llega con ningún derrame.

Antes de comprarlo había checado varios comentarios que decían que les hacía tener brotes de acné, pero aún así quise intentarlo, la consistencia es genial, al final deja un acabado satinado, el olor es muy agradable y lo mejor de todo es que si me sirve para controlar el brillo facial, el tono de tinte es muy ligero, cuando lo uso ni se nota, lo cual me encanta xq me gusta andar de look natural, el único problema es que como tengo rosácea, pues si hace mucho calor hace que se me exacerbe.

Me encanta, huele rico, como a cacahuete ;)
Pero lo que más me gusta es que no te quemas para nada y la piel no te queda grasosa, al contrario, es como una crema mate que no la notas y no te deja la horrible sensación de los otro protectores solares pegostiosos. Y más importante aún, impacta menos el medio ambiente. 🍃
Fácil de llevar en la bolsa, y como la tapa es de las que giran, no se te va a ensuciar nada por algún derrame no deseado.
