I want to try this product. But I have problems in the past using products that work on lighter skin tone but harsher on mine. Can anyone recommend it?

I'm a white girl, but this sunscreen is clear! So I can't see a chance of it leaving a white cast on you.

Best matte sunscreen

This is the best matte sunscreen I've ever tried. In fact, it is so matte for my combo skin that it tends to dehydrate it... I fix this by using a heave moisturizer before. It has quite strong floral perfume which I don't mind. I see no whitecast on me but I think darker skin tones could experience it. It spreads incredibly easily.

Vichy capital soliel it’s a water fluid & sinks right into the skin. No residue or grease what so ever and good priced.

Elf sunscreen

I love this so much!! I tend to break out when I wear sunscreens but this one does the job perfectly. It doesn’t separate my makeup at all, and leaves me with a smooth base. I tend to put this on before primer if that helps anyone! I would honestly recommend this, because I did the test under the UV light and it was effective- plus it’s not too pricey!!

not sticky

I recieved this to test and review as a member of the superdrug community. The sun cream has a nice cream texture. It applies well, with no white cast and leaves no sticky or greasy finish. It is lightweight and gentle on the skin. It has UVA and UVB SPF 50 protection. The Rice grain water helps with mositurising and protects skin barrier. Overall, it's a nice simple and clean SPF50 that works well with the serum and Dynasty cream to keep skin looking and feeling healthy and hydrated.

Best texture

Just what I needed, just one drop is enough for my entire face. Is really easy to apply, the texture is soft and with a matte finish, it serves as a primer with UV protection, which makes it perfect for going out whether you are wearing makeup or not.

Under eyes 

Applying spf on your under eyes is the best anti wrinkle trick ever. It hydrates your under eyes and also ensures no sun damage to the sensitive parts of your face. Never forget the eyes!

My HG SPF

As a combo/oily girl I needed something that would work on my skin alone or under make up without sliding off my face and this is it! Applies like a dream and doesn’t leave a weird white cast like some SPFs tend to do. Doesn’t pill under make up either and is a dream to reapply as well. The only thing that put me off as I need to wash my hands after applying as it makes them feel sticky yet it doesn’t feel stick on my face… who knows how that works! But I have repurchased countless times and always will. Recommend to everyone.

It’s worth to try it! 

Skin types
Quality at a reasonable price

The cream contains 30% rice water, found in many prestige Japanese and Korean skincare brands and lauded for its ability to calm & hydrate skin. As a base for an SPF this was intriguing. It also contains probiotics Vitamin C, Vitamin E, amino acids and Niacinamide, all providing various skin protection from the environment. Add the SPF and it also shields the skin against UVA (the rays responsible for premature ageing and skin cancer) and UVB (the rays which cause sunburn). The cream itself is creamy and feels lightweight compared to some making it a lovely option as a day cream. It sinks in immediately and leaves no residue. As a chemical SPF it absorbs and neutralises UV rays instead of deflecting them, this is also why it is a lighter formula which leaves no white cast. Fragrance free which makes it perfect for sensitive skin. As someone with dry, fair skin I always use a high SPF and this has proved every bit as effective as promised without greasiness. It is really easy to apply and, to be honest, the recommended two fingers was slightly too much. Used as a final layer in a skincare routine, it leaves skin ready for make up if preferred as it is both non-comedogenic, and non pilling. I can definitely recommend this if you are looking for a good quality product at a reasonable price.

Great for sensitive skin

Great for kid's sensitive skin. I use all the time skin protection myself and for the kids, and this one sunscreen never failed. Has light scent, not too heavy, has very light texture but effective. Water resistance and does not leave white marks. Easy to blend in to skin so doesn't take long time to rub in.

Amazing

This sun cream has become part of my day to day routine. Skincare is essential and this creates a lovely feeling on the skin and doesn’t feel tacky or sticky or greasy! I have quite sensitive skin and I always love using E.L.F products as they don’t upset my skin

Great sun protection

ANTHELIOS UVMUNE 400 DERMO PEDIATRICS Invisible Fluid is a high sun protection, specially formulated for children, also great for the whole family. This suncream offers broad spectrum protection with SPF50+, guarding against both UVA and UVB rays. The invisible formula blends seamlessly into the skin without leaving a white cast. Suitable for sensitive skin as well as atopy prone skin which is great for my son. Both my kids enjoyed applying it and really liked the little bottle, which is very handy and fits into any handbag, making it perfect for travelling, l've also been using this cream as my face sun protection. I like the consistency and the hydrating properties. Overall very effective and gentle sunscreen,

Terrable

I recently used Nivea Kids sunscreen and had a severe skin reaction that looked like a severe burn. The chemical in the product left me in agony and extreme discomfort. It was a horrible experience, and I do not recommend this brand. I no longer trust this product on my skin. Please make sure to consult a healthcare professional about your skin reaction if you haven't already. Your health and safety are important.

Not for me

I really didn’t get on with this product and ended up returning it. I have dry skin and found the product pilled quite a bit under makeup. It was much too dark on my fair skin so if I wanted to use enough for SPF coverage I looked ridiculous. It also left a slight burning sensation on my skin. Shame as I really wanted to love it!

Lightweight and great under makeup

This sunscreen is much more of a watery gel consistency and it feels incredibly light on the skin. It absorbs very quickly and works super well under makeup, no pilling or dissolving. It’s very easy to apply and you can do multiple layers if you want to double up on a very sunny day or using retinol like me. The only slight downside is in the seconds before it takes to absorb there’s a slight smell like alcohol evaporating. That being said I have dry skin and haven’t found it drying.

The most unnoticeable sun screen I have ever used

I don't think I can use any other sunscreen for my face after using this one. A known problem I get with sunscreens is that they seem to "suffocate" the sweat glands on my face and they cause excess sweating. Now imagine it's already a hot day, who in their right mind WANTS to sweat more just to protect their face from sun rays? But there is no need to suffer from excess sweating when using this sunscreen. It is light as a feather and gets absorbed into the skin as if it were just a light serum. As a bonus, it gives the skin a healthy (but not greasy!) glow and there is zero heaviness felt. I never got burned in my face while using it so it does its job! I also believe that it won't leave a white cast on darker skin, but I can't 100% promise that because I'm light.

The best mineral SPF out there!

I'm totally in LOVE with my Mecca Cosmetica "To Save Face" SPF 30. it comes in 50 as well, for those who really want it (but... Industry secret... we don't seriously need 50! it's more a marketing gimmick aimed to reassure us, since you should be reapplying SPF every two hours anyway 50 actually doesn't give you any realistic extra protection, and often leads to people GETTING sunburned because they think they don't need to reapply it as frequently!). This Aussie company (because, let's face it, the Aussies know all about SPF!) has produced a fantastic, reef safe, mineral SPF that just vanishes into the skin without leaving any cast or greasiness. It makes a great base for makeup and is loaded with skincare ingredients to provide antioxidants and hydration, to protect andaintain your skin barrier. It also leaves a dewy to matte finish, which is really lovely and is such a luxurious texture to apply that I can actually skip my morning moisturiser if I choose to! It's vegan, offers protection against UVA and UVB, uses 30% PCR plastic in its packaging and is just totally awesome!
