Ok. Mineral suncream has a way to go still

Still quite pasty, I mix it with my moisturizer to get it to spread more. It also irritates my eyes a little bit and sometimes leaves yellow smudges if I don't thoroughly rub it in. I do like the tone of it so it doesn't make you look super pale.

My holy grail

I have lupus which makes me extremely sensitive to the sun even when indoors. My skin no longer tolerates chemical based sunscreens and has reacted to every other mineral formulation I’ve tried from other brands as they all tend to contain vitamin e or other irritating ingredients. This is the only sunscreen that not only protects me from the sun but also calms down my skin. Claims that this spf isn’t providing protection is ridiculous because I can feel the moment my spf is no longer active and I need a top up and it’s always around that four hour mark. If this sunscreen wasn’t working or actually providing a high level of spf protection, my skin would flare up in a red butterfly rash. As someone with extreme sun sensitive and an auto immune disease that flares up from mild sun exposure, I require 50+ spf, lean screen has protected me and is a non negotiable in my day to day life. It is definitely providing the spf protection it claims to as I would feel it and see my skin flare if it wasn’t. I will be a lifetime repeat purchaser, UV has changed the game in their spf formulations.
