Australian Gold Botanical SPF 50 Tinted Face Sunscreen Non-Chemical BB Cream Water-Resistant Matte Finish Sensitive Skin 3 FL

Just spent a week at the beach and was in the sun everyday, this stuff worked amazingly well. It says 80 minutes but it really lasts for days. I was in the ocean almost everyday and put this stuff on my legs and didn't wash my legs with soap the first few days and it still provided protection. I usually get burned within an hour being in the sun, being that I have really light skin. I was surprised how long I could last on the beach and how many days it stayed on my legs with 1 very thin application and it still protected my skin from burning on day 3. The only place I was burned was at the top of my feet where I had sand stuck to my feet when I put on the sunscreen for the 1st time. In addition, this tint is awesome for people that glow when they go outside. It adds just a little tiny bit of tint to even out your skin and not look so ghostly white on the beach. I went in the ocean several times and this doesn't wash off unless you scrub it off with a lot of soap. I purchased the medium tinted sunscreen even though my skin tone is nowhere near the color of tint medium is. When you rub it in evenly, it blends into the skin and doesn't look odd, not your color or too tan. That is if you use just enough to spread it everywhere evenly and rub it in really well. If you use more and don't rub it in very well, you could probably get a tan base if that is what you are looking for. Let it dry before putting anything on, its like makeup and gets on your clothes if it not dry. For the people that want a subtle tint where your legs haven't seen the light of day in a long while, I recommend this color. This is perfect for going out to the beach or lake, it stays on very well and for a very long period of time and is a natural mineral sunscreen which is amazing. This company did a great job on this product. I used this on my body, not my face as my makeup already has a 50spf in it. I can't tell you how it looks on the face. I am usually allergic to mineral makeup and I get hives. I tested this on my legs first and no reactions from the minerals like the mineral makeup I have used in the past. I then put it on the rest of my body and had no reactions, rash or hives. It did its job way better than expected. Would definitely purchase again. I purchased 2 bottles and used maybe a quarter size sunscreen on my entire vacation. A little goes a long way Read more

This is a great product for people with light warm skin tone. I don’t think it would work for fair skin, as it borders on being a touch too dark for me, but it’s fine with a very light powder over the top to lighten it up a touch (see attached pics). I have incredibly oily skin and I found this to be neither dewy nor drying. It was a nice in between with a more natural satin finish. (and it is the perfect texture once I add a touch of setting powder). Although it is matte, it isn’t drying at all. If you have dry skin, I would definitely add a moisturizer underneath. It did take a few minutes to fully dry down. I’ve not tried this under liquid foundation, so I’m not sure how it would do underneath. I do wear a translucent setting powder over it, which sets it perfectly. It provides just a touch of coverage - a “your skin but better” look and It stays put even after mild sweating. I have tried numerous (at least 20) other tinted sunscreens and BB creams w/ spf over the past few years (including several viral ones) but this has been my fave. I also have moderate acne. I’ve only been using this about a week, but so far it hasn’t triggered any breakouts I’ll update this review if it does. I have attached a few pictures wearing the Austrian Gold Matte in the light shade. . I think it is obvious in the pics that my face is a touch darker than my neck, but it’s always like that unless I use a shade that is really too pale for me. Read more

I am absolutely loving this sunscreen! It goes on really smooth, and offers really nice, even coverage. Did not experience any irritation, which for my sensitive skin is like striking gold! No eye stinging, and it holds well against sweat/water. It blends and matches with my pale skin tone fairly nicely. Plays well with makeup on top of it (as long as you let it settle on your skin before putting anything else on top). My only wish is that there was a lighter shade. I don’t see an orange hue on my face per se when I put it on, but it definitely makes me look a littler tanner, and I have to make sure I blend it very well and use some on my neck so it doesn’t look unnatural (the only reason it’s 4 stars instead of 5). Due to this, it actually gives my skin a more lively color, which I’m not opposed to at all. Just need to be careful when blending. It’s definitely heavier than the foundations I’ve used in the past, so removing at the end of the day requires a little more effort. But, this isn’t a drawback for me, just something to get used to, and also a testament to its skin coverage! I will definitely continue to use this on days I want to wear makeup as a replacement for my spf and foundation. I am already considering buying another bottle just to stock up! Read more

This is the holy grail sunscreen BB cream for my oily combination skin. I work outside, and it stands up to sweat and humidity. It doesnt pill or get patchy throughout the day like other much more expensive colored sunscreens have done on my skin (I'm looking at you, Supergoop!) And while it is matte, it doesnt look flat on the skin. I use shade fair/light and while it is slightly yellow on my peachy toned skin, it still looks great once its dried down. Here's how I use it to achieve great results: I wash my face, and dry it thoroughly. Without applying any other products, I apply a half of a grape sized amount to my entire face, including my undereyes and eyelids, with my just my fingers (it blends out beautifully). Then, I wait 10 minutes for it to dry down. This part is important! Please dont put it on and be disappointed because it looks shiny at first, it will dry and mattify, without drying out your skin or feeling uncomfortable, because the second inactive ingredient is good ol' fashioned shea butter. I will keep buying this until they change the formula or stop making it. So happy I found it!!! Read more
