Bliss Block Star SPF 30 Daily Tinted Mineral Sunscreen with Zinc Oxide - All Skin Tones - 100

Update: Setting powder over this sunscreen is a great combo! Also keeps my oily skin nice and matte. I almost deducted a star because this sunscreen and its tint can rub off, which I don’t like. I didn’t want something more like makeup than a moisturizer. I wanted a sunscreen that didn’t leave my face so pale and was willing to try mineral instead of chemical to see which I like better. Overall, this sunscreen is great. PRICE - It is pricey. There are less expensive ones out there but also much more expensive ones. I got this on sale, so I was okay with what I paid. INGREDIENTS - I appreciate Bliss being cruelty free and including several natural ingredients in their products. That goes for this product, too. SCENT - Not the traditional sunscreen smell! Just the lovely herbal scent of lavender. I have never used a sunscreen like that—I think it’s great. SKIN TYPE - I have combo oily skin—normal in the cheeks and oily/acne-prone in the T-zone. This did not make my face greasy or cause breakouts. It made my skin tone look very even and like I was wearing a very light coverage foundation. It left my face feeling soft. It does not leave a matte finish on its own, but maybe setting powder applied on top could give that effect (I’m also considering switching to a matte moisturizer, so I look forward to seeing what that could do). Of course, your skin may be greasy after using this if you don’t prep for it properly. For example, I use things like a foaming cleanser and niacinamide serum to balance oiliness. Overall, I believe this sunscreen would be friendly to all skin types. DURABILITY - I don’t think this product would hold up through intense exercise, but that depends on how much you sweat and wipe your face as well as the air temperature where you live. I played sports (moderate intensity) while wearing this one day and it held up fine because nothing touched my face. I would not use a hat or sweat towel with it because the tint wipes off. That is to be expected with mineral sunscreen, which is supposed to sit on top of the skin, so keep that in mind. IN CONCLUSION - This sunscreen is a keeper. I would wear it for special occasions, light to moderately active days, and when I am not worried about it rubbing off on fabrics; however, I will buy a more affordable, durable, and sheer sunscreen to have as well, especially for game days / beach days / or really any day where I don’t want my sunscreen sitting on top of my face.

This sunscreen is fantastic for combination to oily skin. It leaves a natural, matte finish while still allowing your skin’s natural glow to show through, creating the perfect balance. The formula is lightly tinted with a subtle lavender scent and caused no irritation or breakouts on my very sensitive skin. The finish looks flawless at any time of day and never appears cakey or like you’re wearing foundation. If you have dry skin, this may not be the best option but otherwise, I highly recommend it. I’ve been using this same formula for the past five years. I used to buy it at Target, but since it’s no longer available there, Amazon has become my go-to for purchasing this excellent product.

I have been looking for a less expensive tinted sunscreen to replace my favorite Elta tinted sunscreen. Bliss Block is close but not quite the same. It goes on white but rubs in fairly easily and evens my skin tone a tiny bit. Bliss doesn’t provide full coverage but does soften the look of dark spots. It’s not greasy on my sensitive combo skin and doesn’t look shiny (which is one of the things I like about Elta - it doesn’t look greasy on my face but is also not completely matte). It doesn’t sting or burn. However this Bliss sunscreen feels a little dry on my skin even with moisturizer. Elta feels more luxurious and more moisturizing. If you are sensitive to scents, you may want to skip Bliss. It’s heavily scented with lavender. If Bliss goes on special again I may get it to save a little money. Without a great price, I will continue with Elta. Read more

The media could not be loaded. This is the handsdown the best tinted suncreen (and one of the best tinted moisturizers) I've ever used; I highly recommend. I have blonde hair, blueish eyes and fair skin with neutral or cool undertones; I'm older, mixed skin type, prone to break outs. I don't tan and have to wear lots of sunscreen. Other products are either so fair they make me look pastey, or have orange undertones that look awful. This is a perfect skin match; it goes on easily, makes my skin feel moisturized but not greasy, and just seems to even out my skin tone. There is a strong hit of lavender when I put it on, but it wears off quickly. I posted a video to show what a good match this is. Thanks Bliss, Great Product Read more

This is the product I keep coming back to. I stray away and try another tinted moisterizer and come back to the Bliss option because I have yet to find something better. My skin is extremely fair toned and sensitive to a lot of products with harsh ingredients. I can wear this all day with zero issues. It feels great on the skin! The tint is light. It will not give you the look of a full face of make up by any means, but for me personally that is what I prefer. You could definitely wear this under make up though as it is not cakey at all. I am almost out of my tube and will definitely repurchase. Read more
