CoTZ Face Moisture Lightly Tinted Mineral Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 35; 1.5 oz / 42.5 g

I am on prescription tretinoin hydroquinone for dark spots, fine lines, acne, discoloration, etc. It is extremely important for me to wear sunscreen every single day. I needed a mineral sunscreen due to the prescription cream making my skin very sensitive. I can’t handle chemical sunscreens at this time. I was looking for a mineral sunscreen that wouldn’t leave a white cast, isn’t greasy and wears well under makeup. This sunscreen is something I actually want to put on every morning. I normally dread mineral sunscreen. There is no white cast and it isn’t greasy. It blends out super fast to a smooth finish. It leaves a silky texture that feels like a pore blurring primer. It reminds me of the texture of benefit pore blurring primer. It has a light beige tint that isn’t too dark for my fair skin. The tint blends out sheer. It has just enough tint to cut out that white cast so it doesn’t leave you looking ridiculous. I love that it has water resistance so I don’t need a separate sunscreen for outdoor/water activities. It layers well on top of moisturizer and wears well under makeup. I have NOT found this has pilled up with other products. It layers well on top of itself. The tube is easy to throw in my purse for reapplication. I love that it’s 16% zinc because that’s higher than a lot of zinc sunscreens on the market. The tube is a fairly normal size for face sunscreens. A little goes a long way. Most importantly I like the texture and feeling because I’m very picky. It hasn’t given me acne or caused sensitivity. Just be aware it does feel like a pore blurring primer. If you are ok with that texture then you will probably love this. I do notice it has added moisture in it but I would not use this without a light moisturizer under it, especially in the winter. It certainly doesn’t dry out my skin though, or make me oily! Some zinc sunscreens can really dry out your skin and make you flaky and this did not do that at all. After applying my skin feels supple, not dry. I use a very light weight cetaphil gel moisturizer under it and then apply my usual maybelline liquid foundation on top. I originally had combo skin prior to being on this prescription cream, but now my skin definitely leans more dry. So the last thing I want is to dry my skin out more or cause my oily t zone to overproduce. I’m glad this sunscreen doesn’t cause any of those issues. I purchased this with my own money no paid reviews here. I just love this light weight, easy to blend sunscreen! I only wish they had a jumbo size because although a little goes a long way for my face, I would love a bigger tube for my body too. I only use this on my face and neck because the tube is not large and it’s more expensive than my body sunscreen.

This stuff is great. I have contact dermatitis and have to watch my ingredients closely. This meets my needs, and the texture is quite nice. It works for me like a primer. And it never causes me any breakouts or reactions.

Goes on so smooth (not oily at all) and for a mineral sunscreen, doesn’t make me look really pale… would recommend!

This sunscreen has a smooth, non-oily texture, which can be hard to find in sunscreens. It is not cheap, but a small amount goes a long way on the face; the amount I apply is maybe half of a small pea-size (and that is applying a generous amount). It has a matte finish which may not appeal to everyone, but it is not whitish, like some zinc sunscreens are. You won't look like a ghost or as if you have been using your deep fryer after applying it. It can be worn under foundation or by itself. This sunscreen is 'lightly tinted' which is nice for fair skin. This is an excellent sunscreen for the face, and I recommend it.

Great tinted moisturizer for fairer skin with cool undertones. There are other products that I like the texture/coverage more (thus 4 stars instead of 5), but the color on this is unlike other very orange products. I will plan to purchase again.

I struggle with a number of skin allergies to common preservatives. This spf is a great daily option for sensitive skin. The tint is fabulous and totally eliminates any white cast from the zinc. The texture is like a silicone makeup primer. It may feel slightly heavy going on, but once applied it dries down to a weightless finish on my skin. I wish the spf were higher, but I love this Cotz option regardless. The biggest con is that it’s pretty expensive for a small amount. Please release a larger bottle in this exact formula, Cotz!

I wear this mineral tinted sunscreen under my makeup and it blends perfectly. Full coverage and sun protection.

Too white

Easy to apply. Not greasy. I like it. Will try other Cotz products.
