MDSolarSciences Mineral Crème SPF 50 Sunscreen for Face – Water-Resistant, Broad Spectrum UV Protection – Blendable Micronized Zinc Oxide – Smooth, Natural Matte Finish

5 Stars!! It works! This is so much more than sunscreen. Highly recommend. First, the lotion works-spent two active days in the Bahamian sun and this is great skin protection. No burns. Second, the matte finish is very cool and smooth. Third, the Cranberry emulsion is a special ingredient that heals the skin, reduces stress, and aids recovery. Free radicals out. Finally, packaging. Ergonomic sports design - easy to use. Believe me - this sounds obvious but it is not - I have had sunscreen containers explode with embarrassing results. These Doctors have figured it out. Brilliant.

I’ve been using the MDSolarSciences Mineral Crème Sunscreen for a little while now, and it’s quickly become my go-to sun protection. I love that it’s mineral-based — feels so much gentler on my skin compared to chemical sunscreens, and it’s perfect for my sensitive skin. The texture is creamy but lightweight, and it blends in really well without leaving that annoying white cast that some mineral sunscreens have. It’s moisturizing too, so I don’t even need to slap on extra lotion underneath. It holds up well during the day, even when I’m outside for hours, and I haven’t had any breakouts or irritation since I started using it. Plus, I feel good knowing it’s reef-safe and better for the environment. If you want an effective, gentle, and eco-friendly sunscreen that actually feels nice on your skin, I’d definitely recommend giving this one a try!

I actually liked this product more than I thought I would. It definitely has a matte finish, whereas many sunscreens I’ve tried have more of a dewy finish. The texture is really nice, and it looks incredibly smooth on the skin. The only drawback for me is the white cast. It does taper off a bit after rubbing it in and letting it set, but it does not disappear. Even after a few hours, my face still shows the white cast from the product. Is it worth the price? For me, not really.

The mineral SPF 50 cream from MD Solar Sciences is a great sunscreen for my combination skin. It's quite hydrating (almost oily/greasy when first applied), but without making my skin oily. I personally prefer mineral sunscreens (although the formula is never as elegant as a good formulated chemical one), since chemical sunscreen ingredients irritate sometimes my skin (and my eyes). The consistency of the sunscreen is creamy, but not very thick (as most SPF 50 products are), somewhat lightweight and oily (you need to shake it before applying, otherwise there's some separation). It indeed applies silky smooth and wears wonderfully under make-up all day long. But since it's hydrating, I need to let it sink into the skin for 5-10 minutes before applying foundation; if the sunscreen doesn't dry out enough on the skin, the make-up applies bad. It somewhat helps to blur fine lines and wrinkles, but nothing too impressive. On my skin the finish is not truly matte; more like velvety satin, with a touch of dewiness. But overall I think it makes my skin look great under make-up and I noticed I get less oily towards the end of the day than usual. I can definitely feel this sunscreen on my face, but it's a `veil` like feel, not a `heavy cream` feel. It's still a mineral sunscreen and will somewhat clog the pores and I can feel it on my skin. But I do a good cleanse in the evening so I had no issues with breakouts from this cream. The formula is definitely more lightweight than most mineral sunscreen products. Surprisingly for a mineral sunscreen, there's barely any white cast once the cream is set to the face (but I have a light-medium skin tone, darker complexions might have different experiences). I also like the formula of this sunscreen, without fragrance and other irritants; it's a good mix of mineral SPF for sun protection, silicone for smoothness (and priming) and some antioxidants (so good for the skin during sun exposure). It's a pricey SPF, but a great one.

This sunscreen is amazing! It is the first facial sunscreen that has not broken me out or made my eyes burn. Bonus, it has zinc oxide which is dermatologist recommended to prevent skin cancer. I have fair-light skin, and a history of acne, and this sunscreen gives me the protection I need while not breaking me out which is wonderful! Of course it has a slight white hue - that is the zinc. It is what it is! Sunscreen that does not give a white hue does not have the recommended amount of zinc and probably is not the best to use for protection. I've seen reviews talking about about it doesn't absorb into the skin and sits on top - that's what mineral (aka physical) sunscreens do! If you want sunscreen that doesn't sit on top of the skin, then you will need to buy a chemical sunscreen. It has a matte texture, too, so it is great for oily or combo skin types. If you have dry skin, I wouldn't recommend this or any product that clearly states it is matte... just read the label and address your own skin type, dont blindly buy sunscreen or any face product. Oh, on top of it not breaking me out, it goes on nice a smooth and does have a blurring effect which is great if you're concerned about textured skin or fine lines. It also wears very nicely underneath my foundation, almost like a primer. That is probably the dimethicone so just be aware of that should you have any need or desire to avoid silicones. I've been getting a lot of compliments lately on my skin, and the only thing I've changed is using this sunscreen. I am just so glad to have found a quality sunscreen that does not make my face break out and like an oil slick.

Love it. I went to Universal Studios last weekend and the sun was blazing. I wore this and reapplied every 2 hours and I got no tan or sun damage! I was especially nervous because I have discoloration around my mouth area and I’ve been actively working on it with various products so I did not want all my hard work to go down the drain from walking in the sun for so many hours. Luckily this did just the job and my progress is still in tact! This will definitely be my go to. Oh yeah, and it’s so silky to put on and no white cast which is important for me as I am a dark skin woman, and some sunscreens look very ashy on my skin

Two things I do appreciate about this sunscreen are that the ingredients are non-comedogenic and it does feel moisturizing and nourishing on your face. However, this is NOT sheer if you are medium skin tone. It leaves a white cast on my face, even when I layer foundation over it. Additionally, because of the slight greasiness, it's difficult to blend foundation over it too. It unfortunately left so much residue on my foundation brush, that I wasn't able to clean it off completely with brush cleaner or Dawn dish soap so I had to buy a new brush. This might be ok if you have fair skin and want something to wear on no make up days. I, personally, will not rebuy it.

I am an avid user of sunblock and use the Environmental Working Group's (EWG) sunblock guide to determine the best quality sunblock. MDSolarSciences is definitely on the expensive side of sunblock but it is by far the best facial sunblock I have used (and I have used over 10+ brands over the past few years!). I received a sample in a Nordstrom order and was very surprised by how smooth it goes on, the fact that it doesn't leave any white residue, and feels really good on your face (not too oily and doesn't clog your pores). When I went to EWG to see if it actually is a good sunblock, I was happy to find that it works great--fantastic balance between UVA/UVB protection, no nano-particles, etc. The tube lasts forever so it's definitely worth the buy (I've been using my 1.7 oz for about 6 months now and I think it's probably got at least another half a month left in its life just to give you an idea of how long a tube lasts--I apply very liberally on my face every day).

Die Sonnencreme enthält relativ viel Silikon und fühlt sich damit eher wie ein Primer an. Wenn man also noch zu Make-up greift, ist das ein super Produkt. Die Pigmente in der Sonnencreme sind nur dafür da Weißeln auszugleichen, haben aber keine sichtbare Abdeckung. Das Finish ist seidig, nicht matt, aber auch nicht glänzend.

I’m looking for a physical sunscreen during pregnancy that’s high in SPF, easy to spread and suitable for oily skin in hot weather, and this is the one! Skin tone looks beautiful when wearing it! No white cast but slightly brighten up compared to tinted spf, really like it.

Le produit sèche ma peau en dessous les yeux au point ou des rides profondes apparaissent la ou avant je n'en avais pas. Horrible !

I came to know this product from my sister and it’s really good! Worth the price. I hope to find the same item here in UAE.
