Aveeno Positively Mineral Sunscreen Stick

I love this product. I have an annoying combination of very sensitive skin that reacts to most sunscreens and melasma - hyperpigmentation that gets worse with sun exposure. This sunscreen does leave a white cast but that's true of all non tinted mineral sunscreens due to the ingredients. I like the stick format and I leave it by the door (along with a sun hat) so I never forget to put it on before I go outdoors and it's not slimy or runny. I've been using it for a few months now and I haven't had any reaction to it at all, it hasn't broken me out or irritated my skin. It's not cheap but it works for me.

Having used one of the most well known / commonly used skin care and sunscreen products for years, I developed a severe allergic reaction to its use on my skin. This resulted in me seeing a dermatologist as the reaction was so severe. He suggested using Aveeno for skin care and a rather expensive brand of sunscreen (no, he wasn’t affiliated or sponsored by them!). £50 later and with a ridiculously small bottle of sunscreen, I again suffered an extreme reaction to the product; meanwhile, Aveeno products used daily were great. I stumbled across this product and it’s been great. No problems whatsoever. Surprised, as are other reviewers, that this comes as a stick. After initial applications - especially on my face when I looked like a member of KISS - I’ve learnt to apply a small amount on the area, on my hands and to rub it in. After a brief “damp” period it dries well. Nice feeling on the skin afterwards. Reapplied after 2 hours as directed and it appears to work well. Price could be prohibitive, but, ultimately, you pay for what you get and what price skin / sun care? The stick is unusual in such a product, but it goes on and covers well. Personally, as someone who has encountered skin problems in the form of allergic reactions, this is great. Highly recommended - as are all Averno products.

Use to use another brand, but was stopped being made, this is great for protection but does leave skin with a white sheen, have to rub in very well, but still seems to leave alittle.

I have sensitive skin but haven't had a breakout while using this. It also leaves a slight white cast. I'm pasty anyway so this looks like a glow on my skin but im not sure how it would look on those with tanned or darker skin tones.

Excellent purchase very happy with product

Works well.

For sensitive skin value for money

This proving very effective for my sensitive eczema prone skin not had an adverse effects so far in using this product would definitely recommend.

I've tried Many face creams with some feeble SPF. This is superior. It's Zinc Oxide, which is better than the various chemicals in more expensive face creams, serums or face primers. Blocks UVA and UVB rays. It's not greasy, creamy, sticky, drying, irritating or smelly. 50 SPF. Easy to put on. No fragrance. Alone or under makeup. It even works as a pore diminisher! Yes, there's a slight white cast. Because it's Zinc Oxide. Cover with makeup or a tinted moisturizer if it bothers you. I prefer a slight cast to sun damage/skin cancer.

he Aveeno Protect + Soothe Mineral Sunscreen Stick has become an absolute game-changer in my sun protection routine. This stick is incredibly easy to apply, gliding effortlessly on the skin. I've made it a habit to never leave home without it, keeping it as a purse essential. It's perfect for quick touch-ups throughout the day to combat those pesky sunspots and wrinkles that seem to appear out of nowhere. Plus, it's versatile enough to use on both myself and the kids during spontaneous outdoor outings. One of the best features of this sunscreen stick is the absence of a noticeable white tint. It blends seamlessly into the skin, leaving no ghostly residue behind. I also appreciate that it has no scent and doesn't leave a greasy feeling, allowing for a comfortable wear all day long. With the Aveeno Protect + Soothe Mineral Sunscreen Stick, I've found a reliable and convenient solution for keeping my skin protected without any hassle. It's a must-have for anyone seeking hassle-free sun protection on the go.

I purchased the stick version of this. The size is as big as deodorant stick. For the price point, I am happy because some mineral sunscreen sticks are too small in size but sold at the same or higher price. I have medium skin, and this sunscreen definately cause a slight white cast. I only wear it around my eyes area (because it does not burn my eyes). For the rest of my face, I wear chemical sunscreen that's more medium skin tone friendly. This product is not too creamy, but not too diffult to apply. I found it to be decent. It also receive good rating from EWG in term of protection and UVA/UVB balance (only the stick version, the lotion version rating from that website is not really good, I don't know why).

This Aveeno sunblock stick is one of the best unscented stick sunblock options currently available. I've tried half a dozen different unscented sunblock sticks of comparable SPF rating and find this one to be the best in terms of consistency, effectiveness, and value. The consistency of this Aveeno stick is smoother than any of the other options I've tried; most tend to be either too waxy or too oily when applied, and this stick strikes a good balance between the two. As far as effectiveness, this has kept the skin on my hands and arms from getting sunburned with regular use. I have extremely sensitive, reactive skin, and this stick does not cause any allergic reactions or rashes over five years of usage so far. The only negative is that it does have a bit of a white cast, but I think all zinc based sticks have that; this one is not as bad as others I've tried. In addition, the size of this stick is the same as a regular deodorant stick, which is much larger than many of the tiny sunscreen stick options out there. Overall I would recommend this to anyone with sensitive skin looking for a sunblock stick option.

This is a mineral based sunscreen so yes it leaves a white cast because it sits on your skin. If your looking for something that does not leave a white cast I would recommend to use a chemical sunscreen. I personally use both as the chemical is better if you're wearing makeup . Although it leaves a white cast it eventually goes away and it does not matter what your skin tone is unless you are super pale you will have a white cast. (Yes I'm African American) I love the consistency as it spreads like butter and the fact you can easily reapply is a plus. It's also moisturizing. Although it's fragrance free there is a tiny unpleasant smell that come with all unscented products. Also does not irritate my skin. I would definitely recommend this sunscreen to anyone.
