Title: Excellent mineral sunscreen | No white cast! | Dewy finish
Review: This is my favorite moisturiser/sunscreen for the summer. I really wanted something that was mineral-based but without a white cast. I also didn’t want to pay too much money.On my FAIR skin this leaves absolutely ZERO white cast.It creates a beautiful refreshing dewy look on my normal-dry skin.I also have sensitive eczema-prone skin, and this gives me zero irritation.It is truly a wonderful moisturizer that leaves your face glowing and soft with no white cast. And the price is pretty good too.PS My husband has medium brown skin and this moisturizer doesn’t leave any white cast on his skin as well. He also has combination type skin and this is not too oily for him.

Title: Love it so far - daytime only
Review: I’ve only been using this moisturizer with zinc oxide (sun protection) for a couple of weeks, and so far it’s great. Glides on smoothly, unlike thick sunscreens that can get blotchy, and it absorbs quickly. My skin feels very soft and fine lines disappear, so I know the moisturizer is working. I’ve had problems with the drying effects of sunscreen in the past. No discernible scent, which is a plus.It does leave a faint whitish cast that disappears after a minute or two, and my skin tone looks even. The very faint “glow” or hint of zinc oxide reduces some of the redder spots on my sensitive skin, so I am able to use this alone as foundation. Makes it easy to reapply every two hours to continue the sun protection.It’s important to remember that no sunscreen product lasts all day—always follow the directions and reapply to keep sun protection active.I really like the safety rating this cream received from EWG—this is rare for sun protection products. It’s not perfect, but since I have to moisturize and use sunscreen, this product gives me all that without added worry about health and safety concerns.I live in the Pacific Northwest and we haven’t had many full-sun days since I started using it, but so far the sunscreen factor seems to be working. Because this product glides on so easily I am able to avoid areas of missed coverage. I will update this review when I’ve tested it in the summer, but I expect that I’ll need a full sunscreen if I’m spending all day outside.Reading other reviews, I’m concerned to see that people use this as both day and nighttime moisturizer. Zinc oxide is one of the safer sunscreen options, but give your skin and overall health a break by using this only during the day (even on cloudy days). Wash your face in the evening and apply a non-zinc moisturizer overnight. I think Vanicream makes one if you like the way this product feels.

Title: Lightweight and gentle on skin
Review: I love this SPF moisturizer! I recently purchased this as my first SPF moisturizer based on a recommendation and I’m glad I did. There is little to no scent, blends in well once applied, and is lightweight enough to be put under your regular makeup if wanted. This would be even better if it was tinted! I have noticed that all Vanicream products are well suited for all skin types- mine is somewhat combo (dry/oily depending on the season) and I do tend to have some hormonal acne. Ever since switching to Vanicream products, I have noticed a drastic change in how frequently I get a blemish! I rated this product a 4 out of 5 as it seems the bottle was not full when it arrived. The bottle certainly could be filled more to get you money’s worth, otherwise it’s a great product.

Title: Gentle, does not burn or sting skin.
Review: I love Vanicream and Free & Clear face, body and hair products. The night-time (not labeled as such, but without sunscreen) face cream version was really good, so I hoped this would also be good. I wasn't disappointed, it was everything I loved about the non SPF version but with SPF that didn't burn or sting.It's hard to find a good sunscreen that doesn't burn or sting with sensitive skin. (I also enjoy Cerave AM, Banana Boat Mineral Sport SPF 50 though not made for the face and it's greasy vs this or Cerave.) Even Eucerin's sensitive facial sunscreen burned so badly I had to wash it off within minutes.It soaks into the skin well and isn't overly greasy. It's not matte and does leave some sheen. Probably a little more than the Cerave AM does but not by a lot. It also doesn't have some ingredients in it that Cerave AM does that not everyone tolerates well.It looks nice under makeup. It's a touch greasy (many sunscreens are) vs matte, but not overly greasy). I let it dry about 5 minutes before applying makeup. It doesn't cause pilling or makeup lifting (neither do the other favorites I mentioned). It does have a slight light cast but I'm super pale so it actually evens out my skin tone.I wish it were less expensive and came in a bigger bottle. Compared to Cerave AM (which comes in 2 and 3 oz sizes) it's a little more expensive. I like them both and keep them both on hand, but use the Banana Boat Mineral for every day use and save the Vanicream and Cerave for when I need a more "finished" less "greasy" more "matte" look.

Title: Superior Moisturizer for Sensitive Skin
Review: This is the best facial cream I have ever used. It's not greasy- the texture is perfect and has an SPF sunscreen of 30. Fantastic for sensitive skin. Now I'm hoping that this review does not help cause an increase in cost because it is very reasonably priced.
