CoTZ Skincare Flawless Complexion Lightly Tinted Facial Mineral Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50 2 5 oz 70 g

I am torn on five stars. For me, I would give it 5 all the way down, but it was a long road to get there. I have sensitive skin, sensitive eyes, and am on full skin cancer watch ever since I had four incidents in a row. All meaning my sensy little face can only handle a long list of requests: fragrance free, zinc only, moisturizing, and able to reapply without pilling. ENTER COTZ! After trying so many zinc sunscreens, from Aveeno to Supergoop to EltaMD to Coola to No Ad to Sun Bum, etc... this is the ONLY (face) sunscreen that doesnt burn my eyes or pill or dry my skin out.. It works for me beautifully and the tint is almost invisible but leaves my skin looking dewy AF. This all comes with a couple caveats. Sticky!!! My first week was a big struggle; touching my face would leave my fingers tacky but that meant I couldn't touch my face (win win!). Leading me to.... absorption. If I put this on too close to leaving the house, I can guarantee I'll get a little city dirt or even a gnat stuck to my face! Seriously, it's gotta sit on you for at least 30 minutes. Next was staining, I had to learn to put this on last and ONLY my face or it would stain any top I had on no matter the color. You MUST double cleanse with an oil (I use plain jojoba) and follow up with a water based cleanser (inkey list salicilic acid cleanser) to wash all that stuff off. No matter what sunscreen you use, you should double cleanse anyway. Anyhoo, all that being said, it's my favorite thing in the world. I'm on bottle #8 and see no end in sight. Even the most expensive zinc sunscreens still left my eyes burning for hours, this goes literally on my eyelids. I can reapply on top of it easy. I have people on the street complimenting my skin glowiness. I can understand not wanting to go through all that rigamarole to protect your face but if you are like me looking for something that works juuuuust right? This might be the one for you. I find a bottle lasts me one month, a fair price to pay for protection, moisture, and a nice tint. Overall I would recommend this under my specific circumstances or if you need that extra moisture and like a dewy look. Read more

Great product .50spf plus a slight tint for a polished finished look. Read more

I love this sunscreen. It's buttery and so hydrating. If you have oily skin and do not like dewy feeling then it may not be for you. It use the light coverage just to have the tinted coverage for protection. It's natural coverage and your skin will look the same but hydrated. My holy Grail of sunscreen. Read more

It doesn’t look good on its own. But it doesn’t leave a white cast. (I’m Hispanic and have medium toned skin) It’s very greasy. Read more

I have been using this product for ~ 4 years. In my opinion, this is the best mineral tinted sunscreen on the market. This product comes in two shades to cover a wide range of skin tones. It is unscented, hydrating, contains 20% zinc oxide, great for sensitive skin, acne prone skin, reef friendly, cruelty free, works well under makeup and can be worn as a makeup no makeup skin tint with SPF 50. This product checks all of my boxes. Read more

Overall this is a decent sunscreen. Pros are its tinted, high spf, mineral, low fragrance. Cons: thick, could use deeper shades, has a learning curve, not always compatible with other skincare. What I learned is you have to moisturize very thouroghly and let that set down completely before applying product. If you don't mouisturize and you have any dry patches, the products will start to peel and flake throught the day. I use a waterbased/ gel moisterizer which works well with it, but if you use a cream or anything with oil then it could be greasy. FYI: Make sure you know how to remove this SPF at night or you WILL break out, and also limit the products you put on before SPF Read more
