Skin Sun Barrier Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50. PA++++ Broad Spectrum Zinc Oxide Sunblock with Semi-Transparent Lightweight Texture. Moisturizing UV Defense for Face. Travel Size, 1.7oz

This is an amazing mineral sunscreen! Light, not thick and sticky. It doesn't smell weird. It's not tinted (like rubbing peanut butter on your face). It doesn't feel heavy. It's actually amazing! The price is also so much more affordable than other mineral face sunscreens. It is a bit luminous, as stated in the description, but I don't find it to be anything too wild or glittery. I wear it under makeup and it feels great. Prequel is nailing it!

I have used this only one time so far and I’m in love. It didn’t break me out or make my eyes sting so I’m stoked. I was hesitant about the zinc because I have tried other zinc based sunscreens and they made my rosacea sting but this one has not. The formula is on the thick side but it’s perfect for my dry skin and actually absorbs but it takes a little bit to rub in. It doesn’t leave a white cast and it has a slight amount of tint that brightens up my complexion with no scent. I appreciate the packaging too. The cap is weighted and it balances out the bottle making it really stable on my counter. It’s a little expensive so when it went on sale I snatched it up and boy am I happy I did because it is worth it. I’m definitely gonna try the other products they have.

I have sensitive, combination skin, with an oily T-zone and dry cheeks. I have neutral brown complexion, so not warm nor cool, AND I have allergies to SO many skincare products. Finally, I have found the SPF I need! This is light and non-greasy, and a few minutes of drying leaves the skin moisturized and pretty dry to the touch. Not sticky at all once it has dried down, so would definitely listen to the 15 minute recommendation before going out. I clip my bangs up during that time and when I let them down and style them, they don't get greasy the rest of the day. It has a very slight SPF scent to it, but it goes away. It seems to have a pink-peach tone to it that fades to clear when rubbed into the skin, and it does not leave a white cast. It also does not pill when I apply it, so it plays well with my other products. I use a centella and niacinamide serum underneath, and I apply this as my last step, but I think this would do nicely under make up as well if you prefer to do that.

This is the best sunscreen, if you are looking for price, quality and care, it is the right one, and it leaves a beautiful glow on the skin

I'm sure this is an effective mineral sunscreen. I like that it has a slight tint which does offset the white cast. My problem is it never dries down and stays looking greasy.

This mineral sunscreen has surprisingly little cast, and I only noticed a slight one on my fair skin for the first couple of minutes. Unlike my tinted moisturizer's light bronze tone (Cetaphil's spf40 Redness Relieving Daily Facial Moisturizer), the iron oxides only show up as a very light pink so this doesn't cover up anything or work as a foundation alternative. It has a lotion-like consistency and goes on smoothly and leaves the skin with a glow but also feels a touch oily. If I apply first and wait at least 30-60 minutes, I can apply a second layer of tinted moisturizer or foundation without much oiliness but if I apply Prequel as the second layer, it will feel surprisingly oily hours later. So I don't recommend this if you have oily skin. On the plus side, it did NOT in any way irritate my sensitive rosacea-prone skin. I find it a bit pricey: $20+ for 1.7 oz. but if your budget is larger, it's a solid sunscreen.

I bought this along with the Prequel hydrating serum and I am so impressed with these products. As for the sunscreen, I have medium olive skin so zinc oxide sunscreens very often give a white-ish cast. Or they're thick and feel like a sweater on your skin. Not the case here. I've been wearing this sunscreen daily for the last two weeks and can say it's the best I've found. And I've used drugstore to high end dermatologist brands. The texture is light, thin enough to absorb into the skin instead of sitting on it. It's not greasy and there's no cast, at least not on my skin. If anything, I feel like it gives my skin a bit of a blur. I have drier mature skin, so I do put this on after the Prequel hydration serum and moisturizer. My skin seems happy.

I wanted to love this as I love a lot of prequals products, however this is a complete miss for me. It feels super greasy and the smell is horrible and burns my eyes. I am very sensitive to fragrance natural and synthetic but ive never seen any of prequals other products smell like this.
