Physical Skin Defense MINERAL SPF 50 with Antioxidants

I’ve used this sunscreen for a year now and I love it. I use sunscreens basically every day and a tube is enough for like half a year. Physical sunscreens are the best in terms of efficacy but they often suffer from leaving a white cast. The tint in this product is very natural so don’t have the white cast problem at all. It’s been amazing at protecting against UV as well. Have never gotten sunburnt while wearing this.

During the summer, I hate wearing heavy foundation that I end up sweating off. I prefer tinted moisturizer because it is a little lighter and with some spf. This product is just that! It’s super light weight, includes some color and has 50 spf to protect your skin. You can also use this on your body but since it’s so expensive I would only put it on your neck and face. The texture is a little funny. It’s a little chunky but still blends. Maybe temperature makes it not as smooth? Not sure. Be careful because this product will come off! Usually, tinted moisturizer doesn’t do this, so I was a little disappointed there.

This ClarityRx Physical Skin Defense tinted sunscreen is a physical/mineral sunblock, rated SPF 50, based on zinc oxide and titanium dioxide for broad spectrum against UVA and UVB rays. Zinc oxide which provides the fullest protection if you want to avoid benzones and other chemical blocks. The texture is mostly light and runny but also a little grainy, and it feels matte once applied. It is tinted to counteract the white cast that mineral sunscreens usually leave. The tint works best for medium skin tones. The formula is on the thicker side, like a liquid foundation. Besides the sunscreen ingredients, the cream also contains sodium hyaluronate for moisture retention. It doesn't contain any added fragrance. The tube comes sealed under the cap, and the expiration date is clearly marked on the top seam of the tube, and it's more than a year out. FULL INGREDIENTS: Active: Zinc Oxide 11 %, Titanium Dioxide 7.5 %.

This sunscreen is actually amazing, and the best sunscreen I’ve ever personally tried. I’ve admittedly never used a “mineral sunscreen” before, and my experience is limited to standard drugstore brands, but wow, this has no sunscreen-y scent or smell, and doesn’t irritate my eyes at all when it’s on my face. Eye irritation (from scent) is a problem I have with every facial sunscreen and the primary reason I almost never wear it. I’m really excited to have a product that I can actually apply to my face. The sunscreen is tinted. While it looks pretty dark when it comes out of the tube, it immediately becomes pretty pale as soon as it’s on your skin. It takes a little but of time to work it in, but once you do, the pale tint does totally disappear, or at least completely blends into my mid-toned skin. It leaves a very matte finish too, like just using a normal facial moisturizer. I’ve been using it on my face exclusively. I think it would take too long to work in if I tried to use it on my body, and also is probably too expensive for that. I’d highly recommend this for facial use!

If you have very dry medium skin tone this may be great for you. But I have combination fair/light skin and this was way to orange and felt greasy to me.

I actually bought this at the massage place I went to and plan to restock here because I LOVE this stuff! I have fair oily to dry skin. It's not oily and light weight but still thick enough to provide just enough coverage to even out my skin tone which is my favorite part. This is the last thing I put on my face before I start my daily simple makeup routine or even just mascara and people always compliment how good my skin looks. I have always had acne off and on as an adult but this doesn't cause breakouts for me. It also doesn't have any scent to it in my opinion and I'm pretty sensitive to that. I highly recommend this product!

The older you get, the more protection you need so SPF 50 sounds good to me and provides serious sun protection which I need in Texas. It is easy to apply and does not leave a white cast. It is also hydrating which is a nice bonus. Thank you for reading this review. Enjoy your day! 😉
