DRMTLGY Anti-Aging Clear Face Sunscreen SPF 45 Oil-Free Zinc Oxide Sunscreen Face Moisturizer for Sensitive Acne-Prone Skin Lightweight

GIRL.. let me tell you I’ve tried so many sunscreens. Many Korean sunscreens.. many drugstore ones.. popular, expensive ones like EltaMD. Some of them were OK but none were ever perfect. Usually, they leave me oily enough to fry an egg, or dry as the Sahara desert, or the sunscreen pills and I look like a snake shedding its skin. Worse, some make me look like a deathly ill Victorian child with the forsaken white cast. Or occasionally just for the fun of it they burn my eyes so bad, it’s as if I poured straight acid into my eyeballs. So let me tell you, when I tried this sunscreen, (after trying to find EltaMD dupes because that’s only sunscreen that was relatively okay, but WAY too expensive), I wasn’t expecting much. I was prepared for the worse. I’ve tried many 5 star sunscreens and they still sucked. But this one finally stopped my search. It’s great! It does its job. It doesn’t smell bad. It doesn’t burn my eyes. It feels nice and light on the skin and my skin doesn’t look like it has sunscreen on it, and doesn’t feel like it does either. It goes seamlessly over moisturizer and under makeup. I use sunscreen daily and this lasted me a few months, which is surprising because most sunscreens I buy only last me around a month because they give you such a small amount. All in all, it works! It’s simple! So simple it’s almost boring. I love it Read more

This has been my go to for years. Honestly, I wear it at night sometimes when I want to have a healthy glow. Hey, I'm 35 and have to deal with daily "WHAAAT, YOU CAN'T BE 35?!" from people, so I must be doing something right? I have sensitive skin- Not acne prone per se, but my skin WILL break out or get irritated easily if it doesn't like a product. I like 'clean' beauty products. Products with not that many ingredients. Products that don't clog the pores or irritate sensitive skin. Products that have simpler ingredients, more natural forms, and fragrance free. After much research, I found this product, and never looked back. It's fragrance free. The complaints from people about the smell are simply the result of zinc oxide and other such ingredients- it's impossible to avoid a smell and to me it just smells a bit like chalk. The product sinks in to the skin well, which is important for zinc oxide- Yes the white sheen will be there for a few minutes but it will sink in with time. It adds some nice moisture to the skin. It provides a nice little glow (most likely due to the reflective zinc), it doesn't break me out, and so on. It feels like it's nice and easy on the skin whilst slightly nourishing the skin, and providing spf protection. The only annoying thing is that the cap never stays on which is annoying for a traveler like myself... It always falls off, breaks, gets lost, etc. I like the design aesthetically but they could really work on the functionality of it. Read more

I am a skincare nerd with very sensitive skin. I have tried all the famous low and high cost SPFs touted by derms, magazines, celebs etc but this beats them all. Vitamin B (niacinimide) is one of my favorite skincare ingredients as it is antiaging, antiacne and calms redness down - I have rosacea so Vitamin B is an important part of routine. I do use Suntegrity when I'm going to be out in the sun all day but it is just too thick and rich for everyday use. The DRMTLGY one has a lovely texture in between a serum and a light moisturizer which is fantastic as I already put on an essence, a serum and then a moisturizer mixed with some face oil - I need something lightweight that doesn't feel gross if I need to reapply it because I'm outside for a little longer than usual. However on days when I'm going with a simpler routine this is still very moisturizing, just in a non greasy way. Thank you hyaluronic acid and vitamin E. It also spreads really easily over your skin so you don't have to work it in like most SPFs and it absorbs quickly. Due to the Zinc it also protects against blue light from your phone, computer etc and I also love that it is a 45 - many daily spfs that are lightweght are much lower. I would give it a ten out of ten if it was organic - I prefer organic products but this one is so good I have to use it! Read more

The product is great. The packaging is not great. Unable to tell when the container is empty. Tried to put it on in morning, no sunscreen. Read more

This a true and honest review. I’m a real person. lol. I was very skeptical about purchasing this but for my face, which is not oily or dry, it’s perfect. This is actually my 2nd one. The first one was the tinted sheer. I’ve never had an allergic reaction. My face is truly soft and moisturized after applying this. I have found that my aging lines have soften quite a bit as well. I’m in my 50’s. Read more
