RESIST Super-Light Daily Wrinkle Defense Mineral Sunscreen, SPF 30 Face Sunscreen for Oily Skin, Matte Tinted Face Moisturizer, UVA/UVB Protection, Fragrance-Free

Light and great for oily skin

This is hands down my favorite tinted mineral sunscreen! I've tried at least 20-30 others now but nothing beats this one. It provides more coverage than others and evens out the redness on my cheeks. It still looks natural and provides a blurring effect that makes my pores and textured skin look great. It does not get oily or greasy throughout the day either. It hasn't caused any breakouts or clogged pores on my sensitive, acne prone skin. The color can be a little dark for my super pale skin in the winter but it's barely noticeable and putting bronzer on my neck evens it out. I have dry skin and live in a dry climate, and this does slightly dry out certain areas of my face after a couple hours (I'm guessing due to the higher zinc %). I wish they made a non-matte version of this. If my face is feeling extra dry that day, I'll mix a bit of a glowy sunscreen in with it. If you want more coverage, you can mix a cc cream or a couple drops of foundation with it as well. Overall, this is the absolute best of the best for tinted mineral sunscreen that provides the perfect amount of coverage and really protects you from the sun.

First of all, account is in husband’s name…hence the name George on the review. I know you are supposed to wear sunscreen every day, but most moisturizers with sunscreen have chemical spf, which doesn’t agree with my sensitive aging skin and I prefer the convenience of hydration and spf in one step, if possible. This one has physical sunscreen….so check #1. I don’t typically wear full coverage foundation and prefer something lighter to even out my complexion. So, tinted moisturizers seem like a good choice, but most tinted moisturizers are either too dark for my skin color to begin with or oxidize to a shade too orange. But this one is light enough and does not oxidize on my skin. So, check #2. I also prefer a matte or semi matte finish instead of a dewy finish, which this provides for me. It goes on easily with fingers and dries down without feeling sticky. In warm and/or humid weather, it is moisturizing enough on its own. In colder, drier weather, a light application of moisturizer before applying this seems to be working well. So, check #3.

Wow, this product is pretty amazing. I have very pale, very sensitive, combination skin (yay me!) and I have struggled for years to find something that would give me SPF coverage without causing a reaction or breakout. I also want a cruelty free, vegan, and as natural as possible of a product, so options have been limited. To think of the money I have wasted on products that not only didn't deliver what I hoped they would, but also caused more stress and damage to my skin, has made me very cautious of purchasing outside of the products I know work for me. I love Osea Malibu products, but they don't make a face lotion with SPF, or any kind of makeup. While I love Sun Bum for my body, the face lotion with SPF leaves me greasy and has caused some allergic reactions and breakouts. I thought I was doomed to be battling breakouts or worse, stuck in the shade, and then I found this beauty! I have tried so many face lotions with SPF that either caused me to be very greasy and break out or didn't provide enough SPF coverage. This product is like a BB cream, only better. It provides you with amazing matte coverage, and after testing it in direct and very bright sunlight for 30 minutes I can attest that the SPF does indeed provide good protection. And best of all, no breakouts since I started using it about a week ago. I know my skin, and if I did have an issue with this product it would have shown up right away. For those with combination and oily complexions this product should work really well. For those with dryer skin, you might need a more sufficient moisturizer before applying this product. The matte finish is amazing. I tend to get a little greasy in my T-zone, especially my forehead and nose, and this stuff keeps me shine free. This product does have a tint to it, but don't be worried, it's not very pigmented. I was worried the color would be too dark for my pale skin, but it blends in really well. In the morning I wash my face, apply toner, serum or treatments, moisturizer along my cheeks and any dry areas, then this Paula's Choice RESIST matte finish tinted moisturizer and my face looks flawless. I don't like to wear face makeup so this product provides the perfect amount of coverage and if I need to I can apply a little concealer to cover the occasional blemish or any redness. Boom, good to go. The price of this product seems pretty par for the course. I'm not sure I would pay more than $50 for it, but I feel like the $33 price tag was totally worth it. This product isn't super clean, but it's way better than most, and cruelty free! Paula's Choice notes that while their products do not contain animal products, they cannot be labeled vegan because the equipment used to make their products does process other labels that use animal products. So basically they are vegan, but cannot be labeled as such. Dear Paula's choice, please don't stop making this lotion! I am loving what it's doing for my skin :)

It's definitely not a moisturizer, but I like it anyways. Personally, I have really dry skin, and I use retinol, so I use some pretty intense serums and moisturizers to keep my skin hydrated, and it leaves me looking pretty greasy. This sunscreen just kind of makes my other moisturizers matte and makes my skin feel dry to the touch, but my skin is still moisturized underneath. I'll definitely never use it by itself, but its gonna be a super helpful addition to my routine, and it's gonna come in so handy during the hot/humid summer.

I purchased this sunscreen because it was said to be great for sensitive skin and not leave a white cast like my other physical sunscreen. First of all let me say I am pretty pale. I am like a 3 in most foundations. This sunscreen definitely leaves a pale cast on my skin. Maybe it isn't white, but it's kinda pale cool pinkish? Anyway, just keep that in mind if you are hoping it will blend in seamlessly to your skin tone. However, it is much less of a cast than my previous white sunscreen, and the formula is also not as thick and sticky. I add a bit of bronzer to warm it up and make it look less pink/pale. The first time I wore this sunscreen I went hiking, and I found my skin was burning and itching. I was lightly sweating. Something in the formula slightly irritates my skin. I have rosacea, the pink flushed kind - no bumps. I definitely felt like a rosacea flare was coming on that first day. Since then I have worn it and not experienced the itching and flush but I am wary. I believe it may have been the combination of the sunscreen with sweating and sunshine that made me itch and burn. But isn't that what sunscreen is for? To wear outside in the sun? So... I dunno. Another thing to add is that you must vigorously mix the lotion before opening the tube. Each time. Otherwise you just get a mess. For me that means shaking it a lot and then massaging the tube to try to mix it up. A pain. My other sunscreen is the same so I guess that's just normal. Still in search of a holy grail physical sunscreen that isn't irritating for the rosacea on my face. I've started wearing foundation as sunscreen and so far it's the best solution. It's the right color match, it is spf 20 and it is using pigments as the sunblock so it is physical sunscreen I guess? It just doesn't last that long out in the sweaty sunshine or work when going in the water. I will not repurchase this product. Foundation works better and this is expensive!

I am a devoted user of Paula's Choice skincare products. I used to have oily skin and this became my holy grail facial sunscreen, not only because of that but because so many one-color spf tints are too dark or orangey on me. I'm fair skinned and usually use the 2nd lightest of most foundations on the slightly warmer side. As I'm getting older, now 65, I do layer some products underneath it, Paula's Vit C cream and her Triple Active. They keep me from drying out and being too matte. Somehow, though this color is very neutral to almost cool, it makes me look healthy and balances out my otherwise sallow warm yellow undertone. Probably it works alright because it's quite sheer and natural. I keep coming back to this one as my daily casual look. It never creeps into pores or wrinkles either.

Paula's Choice RESIST Super-Light Daily Wrinkle Defense SPF 30 Matte Tinted Face Moisturizer has become an integral part of my skincare routine, and I am delighted to give it a well-deserved 5-star rating. This exceptional product combines sun protection, moisturization, and a flawless matte finish, resulting in radiant and protected skin. One of the standout features of this face moisturizer is its broad-spectrum SPF 30 protection. Sun protection is crucial in maintaining healthy and youthful-looking skin, and Paula's Choice RESIST delivers just that. Its high SPF shields my skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays, reducing the risk of sun damage and premature aging. Knowing that my skin is well-protected gives me peace of mind throughout the day. The lightweight and non-greasy formula of this moisturizer is another reason for its exceptional rating. It effortlessly glides onto the skin, leaving behind a smooth and matte finish. Unlike many other tinted moisturizers, Paula's Choice RESIST does not feel heavy or clog my pores. It allows my skin to breathe while providing essential hydration, creating a perfect canvas for makeup application or for a natural, no-makeup look. The subtle tint in this moisturizer provides a beautiful sheer coverage, evening out my skin tone and blurring imperfections. It gives my skin a healthy and radiant appearance without feeling or looking heavy. I appreciate the versatility of this product, as it saves me time by combining the benefits of moisturizer, sunscreen, and a touch of coverage in one step. The RESIST Super-Light Daily Wrinkle Defense SPF 30 Matte Tinted Face Moisturizer is also packed with skin-nourishing ingredients. Antioxidants, such as vitamin E and green tea extract, help protect against environmental stressors and promote a more youthful complexion. The formula is also fragrance-free, making it suitable for sensitive skin. As a loyal Paula's Choice customer, I am impressed with the brand's commitment to using effective and science-backed ingredients. Their products are cruelty-free and free from unnecessary irritants, making them a reliable choice for those with sensitive or reactive skin.

Will buy again

Pl. Sell this product again. Good one. Why is there no production?

Truly overpriced. Its a tiny tube shorter than my index finger. Could barely use it once. Be careful!

This is my 'holy grail' after many years of searching for the perfect daily facial sunscreen..this is 'the one' I have very oily skin, I've always battled with shine. I've tried many..many facial sunscreens, and spent a lot of money in the process, but no more! This is perfect for me. Beautiful texture, super lightweight, matte finish without looking 'flat'. It doesn't crease or settle in fine lines. I'm not one for sitting out in the sun but I've never burnt with this on my face and neck. I wear it daily, all year round. It's a brilliant product!

I’ve never used a tinted moisturizer before so wasn’t sure what to expect. I love it! I find this tint gives a really nice light coverage to even out my skin tone. I usually use a little concealer and a light powder but this sunscreen eliminates the need for concealer on me. I am very fair skin with pink undertones. Not sure how well this tint would blend on darker complexions. It is not moisturizing in itself so I always apply a moisturizer first.
