Blue Lizard Australian Sheer Body Mineral Sunscreen Lotion, SPF 50, 3 fl oz | Zinc Oxide, 100% Mineral Actives, Water Resistant, Nourishes & Moisturizes, Vegan, Fragrance & Paraben-Free, Rubs in Smooth

This is the first review I’ve ever done on Amazon but this product works great. My face is really badly acne prone and I’ve been doing a lot of skin care lately. I just went to the Bahamas this whole past week and used this sheer face mineral sunscreen. After using it no new acne has formed, my skin looks great, NO SUNBURN at all! Even if you are outside and sweat it won’t come off without a facial cleanser. Unfortunately it does leave a white cast but it protects the skin. The other brand I used for my body sunscreen sweated off in 30 minutes and got really bad sunburn that hurts to the touch. I’ll definitely be getting this brand again and getting the body version. Not to mention they have a kids version the minerals are close to some seen in diaper rash cream but made into a safe enriching version for the face. The price is not bad either.

I wanted to try this because it's one of the "cleaner" brands. I was very worried about white cast since I am very dark skinned. Coverage is good (I tested with a light) and the lotion feels good on my skin. I waited almost a month before posting a review so that I could really test this out over time. Yes, there is initial white cast. However, if I apply it in layers, making sure to massage the lotion in very well, the white cast fades in about 15-2 minutes. I don't wear makeup, so I have to apply this allowing for time enough for the cast to fade. There is still a very minimal white cast but not enough to bother me. If I don't leave myself enough time for this to fade, a tiny amount of foundation completely covers and white cast. You can't see any white cast on the photo of my hand, but there is a teensy bit. When using on my face, I have to massage it in really well, especially around my hairline or that little bit of cast makes a big difference! BTW - the cap really does turn blue when exposed to the sun/UV light. It's so sensitive that it will turn under a weak UV flashlight. Overall, I like this and it's my favorite "back up" product when I cannot get my hands on the French product I normally use. Fun Fact: Blue Lizard was invented in Australia but is now made in the USA. It's also reef-friendly and free of fragrance.

Let me give you some background. I’m middle eastern. That means I tan well but have two different skin tones; my January skin and my July skin. I wear a watch and I’ve been out of the sun since September. My tan hasn’t totally faded but the lighter band, that’s my real skin color. That’s how I want to be all over. I always try to make better choices in my skin products. I have tried so many mineral based sunscreens for my face and body but I usually end up returning to a chemical based one for several reasons. HOWEVER, I have finally found the product I’ve been searching for. Blue Lizard leaves no white cast on my skin. It’s easy to rub in. It also does not get trapped in my dense, black eyebrows the way other products did. It would gross me out and look like I had flakes in my eyebrows. I just spent the week at Universal Studios and I did not burn. I didn’t tan either, which is great. Tanning is also a sign of sun damage. Chemical or mineral sunscreens often prevent sunburn but I still tan. I don’t want either. I am sold and will continue to buy this product. I feel great about that it has safer and better quality ingredients.

It’s a good sunscreen, but it does leave the face a little greasy/shiny. I used the previous one they had, in a different bottle and I loved that one better. They don’t sell that one anymore (ofc 😒). But, I’ll continue with this one because it does protect against the sun, and my skin feels moist and soft when touched. Also it’s the cleanest ingredients wise at this price point. I have very sensitive skin and this does not irritate it. It goes well under tinted moisturizer, too. Although, I did notice a few little creases of the tinted moisturizer after a while under my eyes. So I’ll have to keep an eye on that, and see if it’s the way I applied it, or it’s because of the oil-ness of the sunscreen. When you first apply it looks very white, but as you spread it around and work into the skin it doesn’t leave a white cast. So, it’s good overall, especially for my sensitive skin.

BEST SUNSCREEEEENNNNN IN YOUR LIFE! You need thisss I'm telling you its the only sunscreen that has never amde me break out it actually cures my skin!!!! And leaves it feeling slowly and fabulous

Worked almost too well. Spent a week in Florida in June and not a single one of my family go so much as a faint tan line. Felt lightweight on, not greasy, and rubbed in clear. No noticeable white tint.

This sunscreen works well to prevent sunburn and doesn’t burn when applied to my face like chemical sunscreens do however the formula is so thick and greasy feeling on my face. No matter how little I use, it feels so heavy on the skin.

I wore this at Florida beaches in July and it works like magic! No breakouts just pure protection.

Grasosisimo y espeso

Very little white cast on darker skin tones. The white cast will “melt” into your skin after an hour of wear. Very good for those who need a mineral sunscreen but are worried about white cast due to highly delaminated skin tones

I am a fan of Blue Lizard brand. But the packaging for item is questionable.

Para mi, te deja una sensación muy grasosa. Los protectores minerales suelen sentirse un poco más pesados, en mi opinión; pero en comparación con otros; este me pareció pegajoso.
