MyChelle Dermaceuticals Sun Shield Liquid Zinc SPF 30 Light Medium - Tinted Sunscreen for All Skin With Oil-Absorbing

I’ve used two bottles of this already because I appreciate how lightweight it is on my skin. It helps smooth the overall appearance of my face while providing a sunscreen barrier that I need everyday! It is a great quality and clean product without EDTA. Read more

I found this product through a friend 7-8 years ago and have never used anything else on my face since! I love that this tinted sunscreen is buildable coverage and it goes on so smooth with a matte finish. I use it as a foundation and everyone always compliments me of my skin and makeup and I am always sure to tell them what I am wearing is only tinted sunscreen. I like rotating between colors depending on the season for my skin tone. I sometimes use both the light and dark colors to contour as well. I love that the ingredients in this sunscreen are very clean which helps prevent random breakouts that most other makeups cause. I wear this sunscreen everyday and even at night when I go out since I swear it looks and gos on better than regular foundation. My only wish is that I found this when I was younger to protect my face when I would go out in the sun as a young girl. I hope they never discontinue this product, I would not know what to do! I recommend it to all my friends and they are all hooked. It's great for those with wrinkles too, my aunt who is in her 60's loves it! It's a great light weight feel. I love that it gives you a natural makeup look almost as if you aren't wearing any but your skin looks like it got color from the natural sun. Such an awesome product. Read more

the size is super convenient and the natural ingredients haven't given me a reaction! I'm allergic to a lot of ingredients in sunscreens and this one has been great. the tint is good, my only tiny issue is that it goes on a lot like makeup and so it LOOKS like makeup (can be seen very clearly ON the skin) but it is a stick sunscreen not a lotion sunscreen so that makes sense. still looks better than a white cast! will be buying again.

As a 63 year-old male, I am grateful for all the positive reviews from people with lots of experience with skin-care products, which led me to purchase this. Despite suggestions by my wife, I've never adopted a cream-based skincare regime, and I got this for the sun blocking properties. But I'll say this: It feels good on my skin. After a bad experience with an expensive Australian zinc-based sunblock, which involved a severe sunburn on both my legs and feet, I've avoided the mineral products and stayed with the toxic old-school sunblocks. At least those prevented sunburn on day-long outdoor adventures and field work. They didn't feel comfortable on the skin though, and it was always a relief to wash off the residue at the end of the day. And they are reportedly carcinogenic. Ten years later, I thought I'd give this one a try on the assumption that the industry had progressed its product in the interim. Well it seems it has. This is the best overall sunblock I have used. For point of nose, lips, ears, I still use the Zinc Stick, which I first used spring skiing in Australia back in the 1980s and swear by. But for larger skin areas the MyChelle product works well, it comes in a tube that will last me a full season, and as I said above, it feels like its helpful not harmful to my skin. Read more

I've been using this sunscreen on and off for few years, and always get back to it, even after trying different brands and solution, so it remains one of my favorites. I had tried several different brands of mineral sunscreens - both sticks and creams, and this one is my go-to for 80% of use cases such as outdoors, beach time, city walk, even office on some days. It is not without drawbacks, but once you learn what to expect, with enough planning, it works. Color: it is a perfect match for my skin tone, none of the other sunscreens that I tried came even close to that (they are either too orange or too white). My skin is between neutral and warm on scale 2 (1 would be the lightest), it is Caucasian mostly. Texture: as with many mineral sunscreens, this one will often have some shine when put on my face, but I don't mind it at all. To me that looks like a "healthy glow" makeup. Sometimes I would gently use a napkin throughout the day to wipe sweat, and that helps a lot. I don't wear my hair open on windy days as they might get stuck. I have this problem with other mineral sunscreens, so it is expected. I have other type of sunscreen for those types of days, but it dries my face, so I always plan what hairstyle to wear vs what sunscreen to use. It might get some time to understand how to spread the sunscreen, as it is somewhat thick - it is easier once you warm it up a bit against your skin. Sun protection: never had problems. I have rosacea, so even short amount of time would create red spots the next day, I am that sensitive even during winter time. This sunscreen always protects me, and I never have problems with it. Skin comfort: it feels very comfortable on my skin throughout the day, I believe my skin is mostly normal or somewhat dry, not sure how that would go with oily skins. A lot of cream based sunscreens make my skin feel dry or sometimes even burn - all for the comfort of being non-sticky; so the choice is often obvious to me in this regard. A big bonus is it never irritated my rosacea; must be all the minimal ingredients. Removal: hydrophilic oil is the best way to remove, as is with other mineral sunscreens. A gentle wash afterwards, and then MLE-based minimal cream to get my skin moisturized. Overall, this is an excellent product in my opinion, but it comes with understanding how to make it work for your lifestyle and use cases. What I had learned is it might be impossible to find the perfect product that works all the time, but this one gets the job done for me for most of my use cases. Read more
