RESIST SPF 30 Wrinkle Defense Mineral Sunscreen, 2 Fl Oz | Daily Face Sunscreen for Oily Skin, Matte Tinted Face Moisturizer, UVA/UVB Protection, Fragrance-Free

I purchased the larger bottle last year and didn’t really use it until recently. I apply moisturizer, Hourglass primer, this, and another tinted moisturizer like NARS over it. This does mattify your face, dries down well and does a good job of neutralizing slight redness. I’m 55 and feel like I want to take using sunscreen more seriously where before I wasn’t layering spf products. I’m a very fair dry skinned redhead that burns. I think this product adds a nice layer of protection without a noticeable smell. It doesn’t clog pores or cause breakouts. It would work well on its own but don’t expect it to miraculously cover everything although it evens your complexion. Order the bigger size as it’s a better value. You only need a small amount. It spreads evenly with just your fingers. It will look much darker when you squeeze it out than it appears once applied.

Excellent for mature, yet oily skin and provides “your skin but better” coverage. It does feel wet going on and at first it feels like it’s not going to dry down, but within a few minutes it does and it provides a matte/satin finish. (It’s not full matte finish and looks more natural). It does have dimethicone and hydrated silica, which usually look matte at first, but then make me even oilier after a few hours, but whatever they do with this formulation works for me. This is the only product I have ever used that has kept my skin relatively matte the entire day. I have a fair to light warm tone/undertone and this does lean toward a pinkish, neutral, yet it is light enough coverage and blends in well enough that it isn’t a problem (I do wish it was a touch more warm, though). Oh, and I wear a lot of products underneath this, and it does not pill (but I don’t wear anything over it so I can’t speak to that). The attached picture is of me with the product on. I forgot to take a picture this morning before applying it to show up before and after. But you can see that it is very light coverage, isn’t patchy, and as a close enough match.

First of all, account is in husband’s name…hence the name George on the review. I know you are supposed to wear sunscreen every day, but most moisturizers with sunscreen have chemical spf, which doesn’t agree with my sensitive aging skin and I prefer the convenience of hydration and spf in one step, if possible. This one has physical sunscreen….so check #1. I don’t typically wear full coverage foundation and prefer something lighter to even out my complexion. So, tinted moisturizers seem like a good choice, but most tinted moisturizers are either too dark for my skin color to begin with or oxidize to a shade too orange. But this one is light enough and does not oxidize on my skin. So, check #2. I also prefer a matte or semi matte finish instead of a dewy finish, which this provides for me. It goes on easily with fingers and dries down without feeling sticky. In warm and/or humid weather, it is moisturizing enough on its own. In colder, drier weather, a light application of moisturizer before applying this seems to be working well. So, check #3.

I LOVE this sunscreen. It’s high in zinc oxide, goes on with a very light texture, and does what no other sunscreens do as well: dries down quickly and completely. Once it’s set, it feels like absolutely nothing. I think it could reasonably be called an oil-control sunscreen, as it prevents my oily skin “breakthrough” for longer than any other I’ve tried, and slightly longer than no sunscreen at all. The zinc I mentioned can also help reduce oil production over time (peer-reviewed large-scale data) which is an added bonus. I really can’t praise the texture enough. As someone who prefers a light dusting of powder foundation and maybe some spot concealer, this is the one and only sunscreen I’ve ever used that doesn’t bog down my powder foundation. As with all Paula’s Choice products, it is available in a sample/travel size, which is fantastic for trying out. Every company should do this, and it’s frankly stupid that so few do. Another usual PC bonus is that it is non-irritating. My skin’s pretty sensitive, and it’s never caused any problems anywhere, even on my eyelids. There are some caveats: - The price is preposterous. Points for using all the standard sunscreen ingredients in such an unprecedented formula - but simultaneously, the same ingredients are in most sunscreens and don’t justify the cost. Any company could’ve developed this (so shame on them for not identifying the market). - The rapid dry-down means there’s no time to play about. It goes on, it gets blended out, and in a few moments, it’s set. Given how greasy/oily-textured most sunscreens are, there may be a learning curve. - The tint is pale, and it’s pretty sheer. I’m light-to-medium Caucasian, so it’s perfect for me, but that is likely not a universal experience. Also on that note, no idea how it would perform under liquid/cream foundations. I’ll keep buying this with unwavering loyalty, UNTIL someone gets wise and develops a dupe or equivalent that’s a better value.

Wow, this product is pretty amazing. I have very pale, very sensitive, combination skin (yay me!) and I have struggled for years to find something that would give me SPF coverage without causing a reaction or breakout. I also want a cruelty free, vegan, and as natural as possible of a product, so options have been limited. To think of the money I have wasted on products that not only didn't deliver what I hoped they would, but also caused more stress and damage to my skin, has made me very cautious of purchasing outside of the products I know work for me. I love Osea Malibu products, but they don't make a face lotion with SPF, or any kind of makeup. While I love Sun Bum for my body, the face lotion with SPF leaves me greasy and has caused some allergic reactions and breakouts. I thought I was doomed to be battling breakouts or worse, stuck in the shade, and then I found this beauty! I have tried so many face lotions with SPF that either caused me to be very greasy and break out or didn't provide enough SPF coverage. This product is like a BB cream, only better. It provides you with amazing matte coverage, and after testing it in direct and very bright sunlight for 30 minutes I can attest that the SPF does indeed provide good protection. And best of all, no breakouts since I started using it about a week ago. I know my skin, and if I did have an issue with this product it would have shown up right away. For those with combination and oily complexions this product should work really well. For those with dryer skin, you might need a more sufficient moisturizer before applying this product. The matte finish is amazing. I tend to get a little greasy in my T-zone, especially my forehead and nose, and this stuff keeps me shine free. This product does have a tint to it, but don't be worried, it's not very pigmented. I was worried the color would be too dark for my pale skin, but it blends in really well. In the morning I wash my face, apply toner, serum or treatments, moisturizer along my cheeks and any dry areas, then this Paula's Choice RESIST matte finish tinted moisturizer and my face looks flawless. I don't like to wear face makeup so this product provides the perfect amount of coverage and if I need to I can apply a little concealer to cover the occasional blemish or any redness. Boom, good to go. The price of this product seems pretty par for the course. I'm not sure I would pay more than $50 for it, but I feel like the $33 price tag was totally worth it. This product isn't super clean, but it's way better than most, and cruelty free! Paula's Choice notes that while their products do not contain animal products, they cannot be labeled vegan because the equipment used to make their products does process other labels that use animal products. So basically they are vegan, but cannot be labeled as such. Dear Paula's choice, please don't stop making this lotion! I am loving what it's doing for my skin :)

I purchased this sunscreen because it was said to be great for sensitive skin and not leave a white cast like my other physical sunscreen. First of all let me say I am pretty pale. I am like a 3 in most foundations. This sunscreen definitely leaves a pale cast on my skin. Maybe it isn't white, but it's kinda pale cool pinkish? Anyway, just keep that in mind if you are hoping it will blend in seamlessly to your skin tone. However, it is much less of a cast than my previous white sunscreen, and the formula is also not as thick and sticky. I add a bit of bronzer to warm it up and make it look less pink/pale. The first time I wore this sunscreen I went hiking, and I found my skin was burning and itching. I was lightly sweating. Something in the formula slightly irritates my skin. I have rosacea, the pink flushed kind - no bumps. I definitely felt like a rosacea flare was coming on that first day. Since then I have worn it and not experienced the itching and flush but I am wary. I believe it may have been the combination of the sunscreen with sweating and sunshine that made me itch and burn. But isn't that what sunscreen is for? To wear outside in the sun? So... I dunno. Another thing to add is that you must vigorously mix the lotion before opening the tube. Each time. Otherwise you just get a mess. For me that means shaking it a lot and then massaging the tube to try to mix it up. A pain. My other sunscreen is the same so I guess that's just normal. Still in search of a holy grail physical sunscreen that isn't irritating for the rosacea on my face. I've started wearing foundation as sunscreen and so far it's the best solution. It's the right color match, it is spf 20 and it is using pigments as the sunblock so it is physical sunscreen I guess? It just doesn't last that long out in the sweaty sunshine or work when going in the water. I will not repurchase this product. Foundation works better and this is expensive!

Lightweight and non- greasy. This product is tinted just enough to go on my light to medium skin and not really show up.

Amazing sunscreen. Beautiful texture and perfect tint for my skin tone.

Will buy again

Pl. Sell this product again. Good one. Why is there no production?

Truly overpriced. Its a tiny tube shorter than my index finger. Could barely use it once. Be careful!

J’ai vu ce produit recommandé par une influenceuse pour la rosacée et la peau sensible. C’est effectivement le cas. Ma peau ne devient pas grasse avec cette crème, et mes rougeurs n’augmentent pas (elles reduisent mêmes on dire). Texture agréable, ne coule pas dans les yeux. Excellent pour un usage de tous les jours. La crème a une légère teinte mais ne permet pas de camoufler autant que La Roche Posay mineral. Toutefois, j’ai l’impression que mes rougeurs sont plus importantes en fin de journée avec La Roche Posay. Définitivement je vais racheter la crème Paula’s. Elle vaut la différence de prix.

This is my 'holy grail' after many years of searching for the perfect daily facial sunscreen..this is 'the one' I have very oily skin, I've always battled with shine. I've tried many..many facial sunscreens, and spent a lot of money in the process, but no more! This is perfect for me. Beautiful texture, super lightweight, matte finish without looking 'flat'. It doesn't crease or settle in fine lines. I'm not one for sitting out in the sun but I've never burnt with this on my face and neck. I wear it daily, all year round. It's a brilliant product!
