UV Pure Sunscreen Broad-Spectrum SPF 47, Water-Resistant, Oil-free, 4.0 oz

This sunscreen is excellent. I have vascular rosacea and reactive skin. Because my rosacea is made much worse by flushing in heat, it is very hard for me to find a 80 minute water resistant mineral sunscreen that does not trap heat by being too occlusive. This is definitely heavier than a daily use sunscreen, but it is much lighter than most of the mineral sunscreens I’ve used in the past. It has helped with my flushing so much, and it works incredibly well. I have used it exercising outdoors and multiple days in the sun on a boat with no visible sun exposure afterward, and no rosacea flare-up from flushing. It seems to do well being sweat resistant, but I do stick to reapplying after 80 minutes of water or sweat or two hours in general. Highly recommend this! Some notes: This does have a white cast. It’s not as intense as some mineral sunscreens, and it seems to settle into my skin after about 10 or 15 minutes. However, I am fair, so I’m not sure how it would settle in for other skin tones. Just a heads up. I used to use Babo Botanicals super shield mineral sunscreen 50 spf. It is a wonderful sunscreen for sensitive skin and for excellent sun protection. However, after a few years of use, the occlusive nature of the sunscreen made me flush a lot more. And it would stick around a week after. If you’re looking for something a little heavier and more moisturizing than the UV Pure, Babo Botanicals is a great option. For my daily sunscreen, I use ISDIN Efotona Actinica 50 spf, and I can’t recommend it enough. It is awesome! Especially for folks with rosacea and reactive skin. It has 40 minutes of water and sweat resistance, and it feels great on your skin.

I've tried many physical sunscreens for oily skin (without alcohol) and I'll always come back to this. The best part is probably the transparent zinc, which makes the white cast hardly noticeable (I'm a fair-skinned East Asian) when set. Texture wise, it's not gonna be that gummy silicone paste that sucks your skin dry a la SuperGoop or Innisfree.

He probado varias cremas de protección mineral sin color, desde un avene leche mineral, grasosa y con feo aroma, isdin pediatrico de textura fluida pero muy muy blanca, umbrella mineral para piel sensible, dificil de untar y quitar, por ultimo colorescience corporal protege muy bien pero para retirar tienes que tallar bastante, todas dejan esa capa blanca, Elta md pure no deja ese blanco que se queda o transfiere en todas partes como las otras. Se absorbe muy bien fácil de repartir, la capa blanca es minúscula, soy tono morena clara, en una tez blanca no se notaria nada, no reseca y tampoco es grasosa. Si me la coloco en la cara con un poquito de maquillaje se difumina lo poco blanco que queda y no arde nada en los ojos. La recomiendo hasta en pieles mixtas y grasas, para piel seca con otra crema hidratante antes de usar esta bastaría. Cuerpo y cara es genial. No la he usado en playa, así no se si la resistencia al agua sea duradera.

Yes, it is ghost white But it also saved my irratated skin, my skin can't bear any chemical sunscreen In addition, if you wait 20-30min, the ghost white willl disappear and if you use some brown loose powder it will look just like natural

Very nice texture as well compared to the Elements. Does leave a white cast but not ghostly white after rubbing in but then again it will depend on individual skin tones. For darker skin tones, not gonna work I'm afraid. For outdoor it works great and it doesn't break me out. Do double cleanse when removing it.
