Facial Moisturizer SPF 30, 2.5 Fl Oz, Formulated without Common Irritants for Sensitive Skin, Zinc Oxide Mineral Sunscreen, Provides Broad Spectrum Protection from UVA/UVB Rays

Good for very sensitive skin. I'm still searching for my hg tinted mineral sunscreen. Updated review: Upgraded to 5 stars! Since my first time trying this when it first came out, and after much sunscreen trial and error since then, this is still my favorite untinted mineral sunscreen. I've purchased it three times now. I can't tolerate "chemical" SPF. Even a popular Korean 'chemical SPF' product I used gave me irritation, sensitivity, and breakouts on my face, and hives rash on my chest and neck. Not this! This is the mildest and most trusted sunscreen I have. Cast: Yes, this is a white mineral sunscreen and has somewhat moderate cast as one would expect. The cast is not as strong as some. I can't imagine an effective mineral sunscreen having less cast that this without added tint, though. Application: I find this is easy to use. Much easier than other untinted mineral sunscreens. meaning I don't have to rub as hard to get this to fad into my skin. Also I don't find it streaky. Sensitive skin: Yes! I have very very sensitive skin, and this is now my go-to SPF when I have a flare up. If I really need a tinted option, I'll use Aveeno, but this when I just need no frills protection and hydration. Post-Procedure-Yes! When I get laser treatments for rosacea or some other treatment, the doc approved this one, even when the normal instructions are "nothing on your skin today". Effectiveness: Yes! This works. I was inspired to come back and give this updated review after spending time outdoors in the sun yesterday. The next day, I noticed burning, itching, redness and irritation (sunburn) on half of my neck and chest, only on the areas I had missed application with this sunscreen. The areas where I used it were protected. Finish and look: Honestly, when I'm using this, I'm not likely looking in the mirror much. It feels hydrating and comfortable to me. I'd guess that some people might find it heavy. Use: I like to use this to protect my neck and chest, on areas that might come into contact with clothes, or where I don't want to use my most expensive tinted sunscreen, Also great for post-procedure, and inflamed skin. I hope Vanicream will keep making this!!

I've tried (and still have full bottles) of expensive sunscreens! They all made my skin very sensitive. This one is wonderful and causes me no allergies or sensitivity. It's cheap, full-spectrum, scentless, derm recommended, and the white film will be fully absorbed in one minute.

I got this as a new try type of purchase. I was buying cerave before this, but I found cerave to be a little too dry for my skin type. I have combination skin that is on the dry side. I really like this product because it’s creamy feeling and moisturizing. It feels moisturizing going on, and it feels moisturizing when it’s absorbed in the skin. It’s just really great. It doesn’t feel watery or thin. It’s perfect. I love it. It doesn’t have all of the same ingredients that cerave has, but I have found that I can use other products and layer them with this product. For instance, I use the ordinary hyaluronic acid as a base and then I put some vitamin C serum on top and then put this SPF over those two and it works fantastically. There’s no weird peeling or anything like that and that’s what I really like about this product as well. I can layer it and there’s no issues that I’ve seen. I also have issues with cystic, acne and hormonal, acne, and this product does not cause any issues for me in that area and that’s also a win. When I first put it on, it does look white, but it will absorb into the skin and look normal once it gets a few minutes to just sit there. I haven’t noticed any stickiness either and that’s also important to me because I don’t really like sticky feelings from my SPF or lotions. Like I said before it’s just very very creamy and I love it. Added some photos to show you the ingredients list and what it looks like right out of the tube and what it looks like just lightly rubbed in.

I love all vanicream products. I have sensitive skin since Im on tretinoin. You cant use a lot on the face or it will leave a slight white cast. A small amount is blendable if you keep rubbing it in. It does feel like I have sunscreen on (if that makes sense) like a heavy, sticky, greasy feeling. I was hoping it was more lightweight. Its not a bad product. Definitely better then most and not full of bad chemicals. I will keep using because I haven't found anything better...but still wish it was "thinner" for my skin.

Nice and smooth on skin, but can be a little heavy feeling depending how much is applied. Does not irritate my sensitive skin at all. Provides some good sun protection under makeup.

The Vanicream Facial Moisturizer w/o SPF was recommended by my dermatologist and I love it. I noticed it was available with SPF so I thought I would give it a try this summer and save money since I wouldn’t have to buy a separate SPF product. The only downside side is this moisturizer is heavy, not lightweight and made my face sweat so I will not buy it again. Instead, I will be switching back to the Vanicream without the SPF.

I’ve only been using this moisturizer with zinc oxide (sun protection) for a couple of weeks, and so far it’s great. Glides on smoothly, unlike thick sunscreens that can get blotchy, and it absorbs quickly. My skin feels very soft and fine lines disappear, so I know the moisturizer is working. I’ve had problems with the drying effects of sunscreen in the past. No discernible scent, which is a plus. It does leave a faint whitish cast that disappears after a minute or two, and my skin tone looks even. The very faint “glow” or hint of zinc oxide reduces some of the redder spots on my sensitive skin, so I am able to use this alone as foundation. Makes it easy to reapply every two hours to continue the sun protection. It’s important to remember that no sunscreen product lasts all day—always follow the directions and reapply to keep sun protection active. I really like the safety rating this cream received from EWG—this is rare for sun protection products. It’s not perfect, but since I have to moisturize and use sunscreen, this product gives me all that without added worry about health and safety concerns. I live in the Pacific Northwest and we haven’t had many full-sun days since I started using it, but so far the sunscreen factor seems to be working. Because this product glides on so easily I am able to avoid areas of missed coverage. I will update this review when I’ve tested it in the summer, but I expect that I’ll need a full sunscreen if I’m spending all day outside. Reading other reviews, I’m concerned to see that people use this as both day and nighttime moisturizer. Zinc oxide is one of the safer sunscreen options, but give your skin and overall health a break by using this only during the day (even on cloudy days). Wash your face in the evening and apply a non-zinc moisturizer overnight. I think Vanicream makes one if you like the way this product feels.

I’m a licensed esthetician with highly sensative skin. Finding an affordable mineral only sunscreen to help combat my mild rosacea has been difficult. I would’ve liked an SPF 40 at least for the face, however I do pair this with another sunscreen for my rosacea and it’s done the trick. Upon application, it does blend in immediately, which is nice surprise for a zinc based sunscreen. There is a slight greasy feeling for the first 5 minutes or so, then it becomes more of a glowy finish. I have skin more on the drier side, so I was not too upset about that. If you have oily skin, it might not be the best fit as it can appear to make the skin appear more oily after applying. I like the formulation based around sensitivity, and so far, my skin likes it! Would purchase again when pairing with an additional sunscreen.

This works as people described its efficacy. It glides on the face and keeps the face protected. I love it so much. I bought 4 packs. But it's too expensive.

A bit greasy for sure especially under make up, but my super dry and sensitive skin has no trouble with this. My eczema prone son has no trouble either.

So thick and white good moisturising sunscreen for winter months and cold countries, not suitable for daily wear in our tropical country

Took awhile to arrive as coming from US to UK. No big deal. Really enjoying this cream. Wanted an SPF moisturizer for neck with fewer chemicals. Not much needed, spreads well, absorbs well, not greasy. Very happy 👍 Will buy again.
