Sun Bum SPF 30 Mineral Tinted Face Lotion, 50 ml, Multicolour

This is my favorite daily sunscreen. The texture is amazing, and glides on. I have sensitive skin and usually break out often, but have not had any issues with this. I even accidentally slept in it, and had no break outs the next day. The sunscreen almost feels like a primer - and has a matte finish. My skin did not get oily through the day as it usually does. I have tried both the tinted and non-tinted, and honestly both are great. The tinted is nice because it actually acts as a foundation for me. The “white cast” doesn’t show up at all with the tinted. With the non-tinted, the white cast is present at first, but quickly disappears after working it in, maybe 30 seconds. I have light, Irish skin, so results for darker skin may be different. This is my favorite daily facial sunscreen. Copper tone pure is a close second.

This sits well under makeup and you can use the recommended 1/4 tsp without becoming a slime monster. Performance: This is a tinted sunscreen and I have fair skin, I was concerned it would leave an orange cast but no! Caution when applying near white fabric please, this does stain - although there is no transferring after application. This sunscreen applies well and sinks in, I havent burnt using this sunscreen Chemistry/skin safe rating: This is a mineral sunscreen so much better for everyday use than chemical sunscreens (check out the EWG website for more information here). I am conscious about the ingredients I use on my skin, especially those in use everyday. This sunscreen is very effective while being skin safe. In a perfect world it would be non-nano zinc oxide but then it would sit on the surface of the skin/take longer to sink in and you would inevitably use less... so, nano it is!

Good

Great if you’re going for the ‘No make-up’ makeup look. Offers decent coverage. Skin looks…polished.

I’m a big hyram fan and after I found out dear clairs and other Korean chemical sunscreen might not be as effective as claimed, I bought this product off of his recommendation. I was a little nervous about a few things. For one I have the worlds Oiliest skin. I felt like dear klairs (my old sunscreen) did leave a bit of shine but it had controlled my oil better than any other sunscreen I tried... until now. This is the closest my skin has ever looked to “normal” as far as oiliness goes so props to that! I also was hesitant on this product because of the tint but also didn’t want a white cast. I would say I’m light to medium with an olive undertone and I think it matches my skin really well! It almost looks like I have makeup on bc my skin tone much more even , but it doesn’t cover breakouts. I happened to have a few pimples (already had them ,not caused by the sunscreen) so you can see that the sunscreen doesn’t cover them completely but blurs/evens out the clear part of my skin. There is a slight white cast but I think the tint offsets it. . I couldn’t speak for other skin tones but I think if you’re light to medium/olive it matches really really well. Finally I love the texture, it’s almost velvety and doesn’t pull on the skin which I hate in a face sunscreen. Not too thick not too watery, and just feels nice to apply. So I don’t really have anything bad to say about this product, but I’ve only had it two days so I’ll have to see if it causes any breakouts ect. But so far I would highly recommend! Update: I have been using this for well over a year now, and I can never go back to anything else! It doesn't cause breakouts even when I've slept with it on by accident. I use it instead of a primer under my foundation, and it works amazing. I literally have no complaints; I have not gotten a sunburn since I started using this. I just reapply every few hours when I'm at the beach/pool. I love reapplying because it controls my oil and gives that blurred bb cream effect, I'm also able to put it under my eyes/on my eyelids without burning my eyes. I was never someone who got compliments on my skin, but that changed when I started using this along with the rest of my skincare routine (Shoutout Hyram!) I'm so glad I found this product! 2024 Update! Still loving and using this sunscreen! I decided to try a couple of different brands earlier this year just because I hadn't ever branched out after finding this product, but this remains the best-tinted sunscreen for oil control and pore blurring I've ever tried!
