Bliss Block Star SPF 30 Daily Tinted Mineral Sunscreen with Zinc Oxide - All Skin Tones - 100% Mineral Broad Spectrum Sunscreen with Titanium Dioxide & Antioxidant Blend- 1.4 fl oz.

As someone who remembers when Dwight D. Eisenhower was President of the United States, it's safe to say I'm no spring chicken! This year, I've been on a quest to find a foundation that helps hide age spots (especially on my forehead) without making me look overly made up. After trying quite a few products, I've settled on tinted moisturizers with SPF because they're lightweight, provide coverage, and offer sun protection. I've tried several brands, and Bliss has become my favorite. I honestly don't know how they manage to sell just one shade and have it work for so many people, but somehow they've figured it out. The color matches my skin tone perfectly. Unlike many tinted moisturizers, it doesn't leave my face looking shiny or greasy. I have fairly noticeable sun damage, and while no product is going to cover it completely, this does a surprisingly good job. I'd estimate it covers about 80% of it, which is impressive and leaves me looking much more polished and refreshed. I use a little concealer here and there, and that combination works beautifully. I don't plan on giving up my time outdoors, so I'm especially happy that this moisturizer includes SPF 30. Overall, this has become a staple in my daily routine.

This sunscreen is fantastic for combination to oily skin. It leaves a natural, matte finish while still allowing your skin’s natural glow to show through, creating the perfect balance. The formula is lightly tinted with a subtle lavender scent and caused no irritation or breakouts on my very sensitive skin. The finish looks flawless at any time of day and never appears cakey or like you’re wearing foundation. If you have dry skin, this may not be the best option but otherwise, I highly recommend it. I’ve been using this same formula for the past five years. I used to buy it at Target, but since it’s no longer available there, Amazon has become my go-to for purchasing this excellent product.

Really loved how smooth and watery the texture felt on this sunscreen. I have oily skin and I prefer to have lighter products rather than thick products so this definitely does the trick for me. The only downside is the product is a little small for me and doesn’t carry a lot for its price so it’s also a little high on the price for me IMO. Another thing to keep in mind is it does have that white cast after applying it but I didn’t mind it but others may say otherwise. It didn’t have any funny smells or issues with the color or bottle. Other than that I think I can say I liked this bottle and will be probably purchase again unless I find something like it but for a cheaper price.

Update: Setting powder over this sunscreen is a great combo! Also keeps my oily skin nice and matte. I almost deducted a star because this sunscreen and its tint can rub off, which I don’t like. I didn’t want something more like makeup than a moisturizer. I wanted a sunscreen that didn’t leave my face so pale and was willing to try mineral instead of chemical to see which I like better. Overall, this sunscreen is great. PRICE - It is pricey. There are less expensive ones out there but also much more expensive ones. I got this on sale, so I was okay with what I paid. INGREDIENTS - I appreciate Bliss being cruelty free and including several natural ingredients in their products. That goes for this product, too. SCENT - Not the traditional sunscreen smell! Just the lovely herbal scent of lavender. I have never used a sunscreen like that—I think it’s great. SKIN TYPE - I have combo oily skin—normal in the cheeks and oily/acne-prone in the T-zone. This did not make my face greasy or cause breakouts. It made my skin tone look very even and like I was wearing a very light coverage foundation. It left my face feeling soft. It does not leave a matte finish on its own, but maybe setting powder applied on top could give that effect (I’m also considering switching to a matte moisturizer, so I look forward to seeing what that could do). Of course, your skin may be greasy after using this if you don’t prep for it properly. For example, I use things like a foaming cleanser and niacinamide serum to balance oiliness. Overall, I believe this sunscreen would be friendly to all skin types. DURABILITY - I don’t think this product would hold up through intense exercise, but that depends on how much you sweat and wipe your face as well as the air temperature where you live. I played sports (moderate intensity) while wearing this one day and it held up fine because nothing touched my face. I would not use a hat or sweat towel with it because the tint wipes off. That is to be expected with mineral sunscreen, which is supposed to sit on top of the skin, so keep that in mind. IN CONCLUSION - This sunscreen is a keeper. I would wear it for special occasions, light to moderately active days, and when I am not worried about it rubbing off on fabrics; however, I will buy a more affordable, durable, and sheer sunscreen to have as well, especially for game days / beach days / or really any day where I don’t want my sunscreen sitting on top of my face.

This all mineral sunscreen feels luxurious and light on the skin. It is non-sticky and leaves no white cast. The tint blends perfectly with my fair skin and gives just a hint of color. It does not provide coverage for imperfections, which is not what I look for anyway. The product has a lavender scent, which I like, but it disappears completely in a few minutes. Big thumbs up for me. As with any sunscreen one needs to use an adequate amount of product to get the stated SPF. Considering the tube size this is a relatively expensive product.

This applied really well - it was easy to spread and absorbed nicely. I loved the feel of my skin after applying, it wasn’t greasy AT ALL (I have very oily skin and am on the search for a non-greasy sunscreen). However, the tint that is supposed to just avoid white cast was still really noticeable and a terrible shade for me. It made my skin look jaundiced. I could have worked with that, I think, but the smell was beyond awful. I’ve read some reviews that said this had a light lavender scent, but to me it smelled like rancid lemons. I tried to stick it out and give this a full day wear test, hoping the smell would dissipate or I’d at least get used to it, but I couldn’t. It smelled SO bad. I honestly don’t know if I just got a tube that somehow went bad, or if that’s standard. The expiration date it over 14 months out from when I opened it, so it hasn’t expired. Maybe it was stored improperly before I bought it? So if the smell either isn’t there for you or it doesn’t smell as bad for you as it did for me, I’d say this is a decent sunscreen. But I won’t be keeping the tube I purchased.

The best thing about this tinted spf is that I can finally put on the appropriate amount of mineral sunblock without it giving a white cast OR a cakey foundation effect. As a middle aged woman trying to mitigate age spots etc, I layer this stuff as much as I want and it’s undetectable. I don’t even see that it evens out my skin tone with thick application, but that’s kind of what I want. Just pure, effective sun BLOCK without the inevitable white cast. Don’t love the rosemary fragrance but doesn’t seem to irritate my skin. I also just bought Cerave’s version of this and it’s way shiny. Bliss’s texture is juuuust right. I wish it was still as cheap as I was first seeing it here last year, under $20 I think?

This is the handsdown the best tinted suncreen (and one of the best tinted moisturizers) I've ever used; I highly recommend. I have blonde hair, blueish eyes and fair skin with neutral or cool undertones; I'm older, mixed skin type, prone to break outs. I don't tan and have to wear lots of sunscreen. Other products are either so fair they make me look pastey, or have orange undertones that look awful. This is a perfect skin match; it goes on easily, makes my skin feel moisturized but not greasy, and just seems to even out my skin tone. There is a strong hit of lavender when I put it on, but it wears off quickly. I posted a video to show what a good match this is. Thanks Bliss, Great Product

Great texture. Great tint. If only it was fragrance free, I’d repurchase.

I saw this on YouTube and decided to try it. It looks and feels like foundation, I've never used a tinted sunscreen so good.

Love the sunscreen. But tint too dark for my skin tone .

Good texture and gives a very light glow.

Love this tinted spf…I don’t even need foundation. It is scented so if that irritates your skin maybe not for you.
