VanicreamFacial Moisturizer with SPF 30 - Mineral Sunscreen - 2.5fl oz - Formulated Without Common Irritants for Those with Sensitive Skin

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 have very sensitive skin, as in eczema or dermatitis or maybe both. So I have to be really picky about what I put on my skin. I usually go as cheap as possible out of necessity, but I can't wirh skincare, and this turned out to be the best value in regards to moisturizing mineral sunscreen without ingredients I'm sensitive to. This has never caused my skin to break out! Such a breath of fresh air, I can't even tell you. Never a bad reaction. It does moisturizer without leaving residue, and my skin has been less oily, but also less dry. I know there isn't much in the container, but I can use this daily and make it last a ridiculously long time. This is now my go-to.

Used it this morning for the first time. So far I like it. Feels very gentle on my skin, did not irritate my skin in anyway. I have very sensitive, reactive skin. So I'm really glad I found this facial moisturizer with spf. Spf moisturizer is very important to me. I use the Vanicream vitamin C serum and their facial cleanser. I listened to a dermatologist and she recommended the brand Vanicream for sensitive skin people. So far I have loved their products. I have the regular daily face moisturizer arriving today so I can't wait to give that one a try too.One thing I will say about this spf moisturizer, do NOT use if you have oily skin. This product is very moisturizing so it is perfect for someone with dry skin. A little goes a long way. Not pasty at all. When I first put it on I could feel the oily substance but it immediately absorbs into your skin. I've had it on for 2 hours now and it's completely settle in my skin and I can't feel any residue what's so ever. Not sticky at all.

This is an excellent face and neck sunscreen for doing yard work and outdoor chores. The mineral lotion applies easily with no noticeable white cast, unlike other mineral face sunscreens that I have tried. It also washes off easily. It has an EWG rating of 1, which is great.

Does not leave a noticeable white cast or pill like many other mineral sunscreens. It leaves a subtle glow which is nice as well. I do think it has been causing my skin to feel a little more dry than normal, but this is fixable with moisturizer. I also appreciate the affordability compared to other mineral sunscreens of a similar quality.

I have been searching for a good facial sunscreen for a while. This is unfortunately another one for my bin of sunscreen flops. Note that I have very oily, sensitive, acne-prone skin. This product was used for typical daily wear (for me, taking several 10-minute walks in the hot summer sun throughout the day). I don't sweat much, but I am typically quite oily even without moisturizing products.Pros:- Very moisturizing. It would be good for someone with very dry skin. My skin looked exceptionally well hydrated.- Unscented. My skin tends to react poorly to scented products. This had no scent.- Does protect against the sun. With proper application, I have never burned with this product.Cons:- VERY greasy. I applied just enough sunscreen to cover my skin. It felt like I was covered in an oily film. My whole face had a slick sheen to it. It was especially greasy looking in the summer sun.- Does leave a slight white cast. I would say my skin tone is lightly tanned. There was a light but noticeable white film over my whole face, even after rubbing in and drying down for 15 minutes. Would be best for those with fairer skin tones.- Thick formulation. It was difficult to apply in a uniform layer because of how thick the product was. I prefer a more liquidy formulation for even, light coverage. It felt very oily/film-like on my skin even after drying down.

Great stuff! Moisturizing, can see it going on and determine if it's rubbed in all the way! Protects the skin, that's for sure. Recommend!

I wear this every day under my makeup and it never leaves my face greasy. It absorbs quickly and feels lightweight but still keeps my skin hydrated all day. The SPF 30 is a huge bonus for daily protection. I like it so much that I have it on subscription — it’s become a must-have in my routine!
