Neutrogena Purescreen Tinted Sunscreen for Face with SPF 30 Broad Spectrum Mineral Sunscreen with Zinc Oxide and Vitamin

I picked this up based on a recommendation from DrDray on YouTube. I loved that she swatched all the colors and I thought Medium Deep would be the best one for me. That’s what I’m wearing in the photo. Black girl/brown girl approved! This is now one of my favorite sunscreens! I prefer tinted mineral formulas but sometimes it’s a challenge to find one with a shade that fits me and that is also water/sweat resistant (80 minutes), and also affordable. This one is perfect, it checks all the boxes! This doesn’t burn my eyes or cause blurry vision, doesn’t irritate my oily skin. My sister has dry sensitive skin and also likes this. This has a skin-like finish. Might be slightly shiny but that’s normal to me. I like to use a fan to help it dry down more. Consistency is very thin/kind of runny and spreads easily. Formula is comfortable and doesn’t feel drying. Reapplying is a breeze but have to be careful to not get it on clothes. I keep wipes in the car to wipe off my fingers. The coverage is very sheer, not like Colorscience Flex which has more coverage and a much higher price (but I also love). This doesn’t cover imperfections/dark marks but it does even out skin tone. Some of my foundation colors in case it helps you with choosing a shade: Armani 7.8, ELDW Honey Bronze, KVD 063, MUFE 3N42, Haus Labs 330, Dior 4N, Nars Aruba. I use Tan in Colorscience Flex. The only thing I would change about this product is the packaging because it can get a little messy. I wish the opening of the tube was smaller, more tapered. I’m still giving this 5 stars anyway. I’ve gotten this on my clothes (white shirts) but has not left any stains; I always treat with Oxi Clean Max Force stain remover on the same day. Washes out completely, no staining, no trace. I also picked up Deep just in case, but it’s too dark. My guess is that it’s best for people with skin tone MAC NC45 and up. However, DrDray mentioned this is a good option for those who like to use self tanner and want the face to match the fake tan. I wouldn’t use this on arms or legs because it will transfer to clothing or other fabric. Also, I realized the reason the Deep shade was priced much lower is because it expires in August 2024 and I bought it June 2024! I’m stuck with it because I don’t want to pay to return it. Either way, the colors are very sheer and natural looking; not too orange, pink or chalky. At least that’s my opinion. Makeup artists say I have an olive skin tone. This totally works for me!

Foundations just looked mask-y on my older skin (I’m 71) and I am very pale so sunscreen is a must. I got a sample of this product from my dermatologist, gave it a try and ordered a tube immediately. Just enough color to even out skin tone, just enough moisture that my skin looks glossy fresh and no sun burns even after being on a lake for a couple of hours. It feels good on my skin, it doesn’t seem to rub off and leave color on fabric (that I’ve seen), fragrance free. Washes off easily with a skin wipe. I’ve used a tube for about three months and have another tube ready for whenever it runs out. Read more

Love the Neutrogena sunscreens and this mineral broad spectrum tinted sunscreen is awesome. It goes on easily and leaves no white cast. I layer it over the Neutrogena mineral spf 50 product. The tube and cap leak horribly when the lying down for tipped cap down-took away a star for this issue. The leaking was so bad I did not purchase for a year. I will NOT use when traveling-it is a mess not to mention the product is wasted. I use the medium deep sunscreen on darker Asian skin. Read more

My dermatologist highly recommended tinted sunscreen for me. I was so happy to find this neutrogena one as it had the perfect match for my skin tone. The suncreen smells great, it's smooth and not too thick. It is protective and a great size as well! Read more

It's my first time using a zinc oxide sunscreen. I've heard that it's anti inflammatory and good for the skin. But I have also heard that it leaves a white cast. I wanted to try the tinted version to see how it goes. Even though it's tinted it leaves a white cast that subsides a little after some time. But the whiteness is more obvious on damp and sweaty skin. The whiteness can be hidden under makeup. Also, the bottle looks new but was not sealed. The box was not in great condition. It looks like some sticker had been removed and the bottom code had been erased with a marker. I will not repurchase. Read more

i use it to keep my face covered from the sun Read more

Very messy product! Does not cover as stated. This company needs to make a better nozzle to release the solution. I threw it away. Definitely will not purchase again and will not recommend to others. Read more

Omg, it's the best, it has coverage and at the same time sunscreen Read more
