Bummed re new formula

"I’ve used this tinted moisturizer w spf for yeeears and actually hunted out the ingredients/formula here, when another brand discontinued it. This new one is too light in color, too scented, too thin/oily and not enough coverage to wear alone (as I always did). So sad about the change & hoping they bring bad the former!"

Lana (1/5)

Love the Lightweight Texture and No White Cast!

"I've used many, many facial sunscreens over the years, and have become increasingly picky. I want mineral sunscreen with good SPF but don't want it to cause breakouts, a white cast, pilling or feel thick and heavy like so many lotions do. I've only used this for about 6 days, but love the lightweight/thin consistency because it goes on SO easily and doesn't feel heavy. I'm very happy it doesn't cause a white cast or clog my pores. Smells like a day at the beach. I really like it; will very likely be re-ordering!"

Lisa T. (5/5)

New Formulation

"I have to be honest- I really don’t like the new formulation of the tinted SPF. It has an odd odor. The texture out of the bottle is completely different (almost oily?). It doesn’t offer nearly the same amount of tinted coverage. I’m super disappointed. The original formula was my go-to for years."

KATHRYN K. (1/5)

Love this stuff!

"Smells great, feels great. I have used a lot of the SkinCeuticals products, can’t say I have used their sunscreen, but as a fair skinned person with aging skin, I love this product and will definitely be purchasing in the future"

Laurie N. (5/5)

Great product and value

"The skinceuticals SPF was my favorite but I gave it up because of the price. I was thrilled when I saw Brandefy was coming out with their take on it, and it didn’t disappoint. I love the weightless texture and how effortlessly it blends in"

ALYSSA F. (5/5)

Tinted Broad Spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen

"LOVE THIS! Feels like a moisturizer, protects like heavier sunscreens. I’m out in the sun walking or gardening everyday and I am very particular about my skin products . I’m older- and everyone complements me on how pretty my skin looks."

Lynn L. (5/5)

I think I'm gonna love this tinted sunblock

"I have only used it a few days. It is fair flesh colored, which matches me. I just wish it was slightly thicker to cover more of the sun spots."

DArcy H. (4/5)

No white cast !

"I love this sunscreen - there is no white cast on my dark skin and I love the scent! I will be rebuying for sure."

Joanna A. (5/5)

new routine essential

"i've been on the hunt for a good mineral spf and am very happy to have found this! i love the texture and tint - it's lightweight and gives a nice glow after applying. this product does have a smell, which is know is for everyone, but i really enjoy it and reminds me of a beach vacation"

kyiala (5/5)

Absolutely love

"I was looking for a good mineral based light weight sunscreen that's not too overly tinted for my everyday use, and this one is just that. I deal with sun spots, and so far it seems to be helping with prevention. I'll definitely be re-purchasing."
