Australian GoldBotanical Sunscreen Tinted Face Mineral Lotion SPF 50, 3 Ounce | Broad Spectrum | Water Resistant

I have always been hesitant to wear a daily sunscreen since my skin breaks out easily and tends to be oily, but now that I've reached my early 30's, I decided it was time to get serious about skin protection. I tried this product on a whim after reading some other positive reviews, and I love this sunscreen for a multitude of reasons:1) It provides great sun protection. I wore this on my face while on vacation in the Caribbean, and got zero sunburn on my face (while my shoulders simultaneously burned to a crisp while wearing a different SPF 30 lotion). It seems to be quite water resistant as well, since my face did not burn even after I'd been in the water.2) It is absolutely not greasy; in fact, I feel that this sunscreen leaves my skin feeling less oily at the end of a long, hot day. My skin feels smooth and looks matte after applying this product; it is definitely not shiny and greasy like some sunscreens are!3) The tint is very subtle and mostly fades to nothing after you apply it. Before I began using the product, I was worried about the color of the tint, since it appears to be a pink-ish tan, while my skin's undertone is a yellow-ish tan. Ultimately, I have not noticed any color mis-match between this product and my skin tone; it does not leave you looking like you're wearing make-up or foundation.4) This product is advertised as being fragrance-free, which it is! I don't like scented products as they tend to give me a headache after a few hours, and this product's light lotion smell disappears once you've applied it.5) The only very minor critique I have with this product is that it does not hydrate my dry skin very well. When my cheeks were dry in the winter, I had to also use my non-sunscreen moisturizer, as this product left my areas of dry skin still looking dry.I have been very satisfied with this product and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a daily sunscreen that protects your skin and does not look greasy.

Update: I went without this sunscreen for 2 days and freaked out. It is now my first subscribe&save products! This tinted sunscreen makes my fair/pinkish skin look blurred and matte. It holds up to sweating, no problem. I wear it alone on very light makeup days and it just slightly evens out my skin tone and redness. Dries down to nothing and works over all my moisturizers, and under all my makeup! No greasiness, never breaks me out, and doesn't sting skin or eyes. This is also the only sunscreen I can wear in a thick enough layer to actually protect from the constant California sun! Never going without my Australian Gold again <3I have been searching FOR-EV-ER for a sunscreen that is: slightly mattifying (or at least not an instant oil slick on my face), creamy going on and easy to rub in, no white cast, no eye-stinging, less than $15, reef safe, and no fake coconut/banana smell. I tried to order two different asian sunscreens that were HG products for others, but my order never arrived and I couldn't wait another month for a second order, so I bought this one instead -- and I'm happy I did! This sunscreen ticks all my boxes. However, if you have very dry skin or a dark skin tone, YMMV. It is matte on me with my combo/normal skin, but I still had to wear moisturizer under it or it looked dry and showed a dry patch on my skin. It might be too drying for someone with very dry skin, but I still think it's worth trying it out. The tint is very light so it may show a white cast on darker skin tones.

I have sensitive skin and eyes and just about every sunscreen burns both. This does not, at all. It evens out my skin tone, looks great under light makeup (I’ve never tried heavier makeup such as foundation over it.). It goes on silky smooth, like what a primer feels like. A little goes a long way, you don’t need a ton of product because it spreads evenly easily. It leaves an all-day matte finish and I don’t burn at all, even in the pool. It’s a truly water resistant product. I love this tinted sunscreen. I have a lighter skin tone and it blends and matches well. If I have a tan, a little bronzer over it darkens the look. Don’t hesitate- fantastic product you’ll reach for every morning, and bonus, protecting your skin from harmful aging rays while looking and feeling great!

I had been wanting to try this sunscreen for quite a while. I had seen a few you-tubers recommend it and had also read some good reviews. The only reason I hadn't purchased before now is that I had wanted to use up some other sunscreens before I bought a new one. First lets list the bad thing about this, the bad smell when you first put it on. Not sure if I got a bad tube, but it has that bad smell that I associate with fake tanning products that I have used in the past. I always hated that smell and this is no exception. The good thing is that I do not notice it after about 10 minutes. Not sure if that is me just getting used to it, or if it just disappears, I am guessing the later.The good things about it is that it is tinted. I have skin that is fair/warm. A lot of my base/ foundation colors say light beige or buff beige.This color is not too ashy and doesn't make me look like a cast member of the living dead. I'm not sure how it would look on darker skin tones, but for me it works great.The next thing, is that it goes on like a dream, really smooth and does not require a lot of rubbing or pulling on the skin. It blends really well. Another bonus is that it has a nice finish. It has the look of a light BB or CC cream, not total coverage like a base. It doesn't cover up my skin flaws, but does blur them slightly, but it's a sunscreen so I wasn't expecting it to do that. It is more matte and not dewy or greasy, which I like.Lastly, it does not pill or cause any other problems under makeup. Overall I like it, I just wish they would do something about that smell!
