Cureskin Mineral Sunscreen Matte Finish Tinted SPF 50 PA++++ | Broad Spectrum Sun (UVA/UVB/IR) Protection with Titanium Dioxide, 50 g (Pack of 1)

I've been searching for ages for a decent suncream. I have bad hormonal peri acne, and had read to protect acne scarring you should use a tinted sunscreen with zinc. I also didn't want anything under SPF 50. I want to wear the sunscreen year round so it needs to be a sustainable choice budget wise to use 365 days a year. Being south east Asian it's hard to find shades to match, and although I'm probably on the edge of the target market it's probably the most accessible SPF 50 for my skin tone I'll find. I used elf foundation with an SPF 30 anyway, but I'll be going on holiday where I'll be at the beach and very conscious of the acne scarring and active acne, and I think this will give me the confidence I need to go bare skinned (before this year I never even wore makeup but the hormonal acne has progressed so much I can't bear to even leave the house without foundation) I've added a video to show the coverage on a burn scar on my hand, and I knew it wasn't going to be full coverage I think it definitely lessens what's there. And you can see how it blends and doesn't really leave a white cast =Actual usage= The product arrives with a security seal on the box so that you know it's not been used. When I first tried it, I think it had separated a bit as some water came out, but application was smooth and very pleasant It actually feels silly Matt if that makes sense! It is a silicone based suncream so sits beautifully under my foundation and it doesn't leave a greasy finish it just feels silky I want to give this 4 stars as it does contain fragrance, but I quite like the fragrance and it hasn't irritated my skin. And I feel like it's actually helping my skin a bit too as it didn't feel greasy throughout the day. I usually react pretty quickly to any products that don't work for me and have had no reaction I also did top up, just to test, over my makeup and it was fine. It doesn't transfer too badly either, as I thought it might due to the tint. ==Ingredients== Silicone based so will work well as a base for makeup (learnt the hard way when I used to popular water based primer and found most foundations contain silicone, so a water based will cause the makeup to split/repel). Zinc oxide: anti inflammatory and can promote wound healing so can help with active acne. Can also help with scarring and dark spots, as well as help eczema and rosacea. And most importantly protect against UV rays Titanium dioxide, a physical sunscreen. Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, a broad spectrum sunscreen and apparently pretty elite. ==Final thoughts== This ticks all my boxes for price and I feel like it is actually helping my acne. But most importantly there is no reaction and the addition of a tint + price point gives it 5* from me I don't feel like it's a great match to my skin tone, but a bit of bronzer on the forehead disguises it and tbh when I'm on the beach I don't think anyone is going to be judging. I just will feel more confident knowing that I can top up with a tiny And the added bonus that it feels lovely and seems to be helping my acne is a great! So I can overlook the added fragrance (which is actually nice) and the poor colour match is kind of offset by the fact that it doesn't transfer as badly as any of the tinted moisturisers I had tried before giving up and going for full on foundation.

I am very strict about using sunscreen every day, and have tried literally dozens of brands. I love Bioré, but my skin is oily so it gets too dewy; the other favourite is Allies of Skin, but it's pricey. This one by Cureskin is amazing when it comes to mattifying effect (really impressive; the best I've seen in that respect. Photoshop-level matte). It would be perfect, and my absolute favourite... Except the tint is too dark (sort of orange, almost Trump-like) which is quite a bummer. Mind you: my complexion is not super fair, so I'm actually surprised Cureskin goes for this bonkers colour. Almost there.

Very good quality sunscreen. I love the fact that it is tinted. Also, I apply foundation on top of that and effect is very good. I recommend it.

Great to wear under makeup. Leaves a nice matt finish and a slight tint to skin. Good to know you are protected and its not gloopy or greasy on skin.

This is made in India product and so I thought it will suit my Indian wheatish complexion giving some tint. I did not like this at all and would not recommend for reasons- 1.No tint at all 2.Smells of minerals on Face, yuck 3.Leave stains on clothes unless face washed with soap 4. Make your face feel sticky after a while

Colour me impressed, day 2 of using this, I didn’t realise it was tinted so that gave me a wee jumpscare but I’m black and it blended right in once you rub it in. And then what really prompted me to write this review was I have been wearing it for 9hrs and usually by this time I’m very oily and I’ve just looked in the mirror and I’m most matte, I have very oily skin so it would take Jesus coming down himself to be completely matte. I am so impressed!

Nice price but the texture is like a prime with silicone. Not sure if it will not be oil.

Absolutely love this & just reordered as my daughter stole it. Lovely texture and stayed on all day; whereas normally my skin would become oily, it stayed matt, but not dry and didn’t sink into lines (I’m 49). Lovely natural colour.

This tinted sunscreen blends smoothly and gives a natural matte finish without any white cast. Provides excellent SPF 50 PA++++ protection against UVA/UVB rays. Non-greasy, gentle on skin, and perfect for daily use. Great for all skin types, especially oily and sensitive skin.

Absolutely terrible. It has a brick red tint and makes your face look completely orange like its been burnt. The texture is matte and it feels drying on the skin. Dont recommend it at all

It's too thick, leaves white cast dry to touch, not sure if it's for me

Yeh sunscreen daily use ke liye bahut achha hai. Matte finish deta hai aur skin par heavy ya chipchipa feel nahi hota. Tinted hone ki wajah se light coverage bhi mil jati hai aur white cast bilkul nahi chhodta. Oily & combination skin ke liye perfect hai. Sun protection bhi achhi hai. Definitely recommended 👍

May b this one is only good for those people who have brown skin Not good choice for white skin 😕
