Colorescience Brush-On Sunscreen Mineral Powder for Sensitive Skin

My esthetician introduced me to this product and I am so glad she did! This is the best face sunscreen, not to mention how easy it is to apply. Let me start by saying one negative of this product, I have had multiple brushes that do not work and do not release the powder, however Amazon and this company has always been amazing with returns for a defective item. On a new brush, make sure you turn it upside down and tap the bottom of the product three times to get the powder started. It is sometimes hard to see if the powder is coming out (if you pick a light color that is similar to the brush color itself) so here’s a tip: hold it brush side up where there is good lighting and give the brush a few flicks and you can see the powder! I always have success this way when using a new brush.One of my favorite things about this product is it has Zinc! Other cream based sunscreens that have zinc are so thick and leave your face white. I live in Florida and use this sunscreen on a daily basis. I also always buy this 3 pack because I keep one in my car, purse , and vanity for easy application. I also apply this product when going out at night as a setting powder for my regular foundation for a smooth finish and for extra protection from UV rays. This product provides great coverage even from the sun at the beach. As advised on the package, you should apply every 80 min when outside/ in water and I have used this at the beach/ pool without any burning not to mention how quick it is to re apply making it a breeze!!! This product is a must in so many ways!!!

After using a cheaper product similar to Color Science sunscreen, my face was sunburned. Especially my nose. I should have known better and not messed around with something so important! This stuff is the best and worth the cost. It's easily applied, does not sting, and best of all, works perfectly.

What a wonderful way to reapply sunscreen, plus it makes my skin look great - not cakey or overdone.Update: loved it so much I ordered a second one - this time in Fair again but not “glow”. There is still a satin like sheen - very nice; not sure which one I like best yet. The fact that you can sun protect your ears or scalp with no mess is worth every penny. I'll put one in my golf bag. This might be spendy but no more than a prestige brand powder to cream foundation and it’s good for your skin! I also use the Colorscience blush sticks. Great products.

This spf powder is an excellent solution to the old problem of "how do I reapply sunscreen over my makeup?" I love that it's SPF 50, non-irritating, and translucent without too much yellow. It does get a little dry and cakey after multiple applications, though. Still, it's better than going without makeup! I reapply this over regular foundation or tinted primer and my skin feels protected throughout the day.The only major downside is the ridiculous packaging. I carefully followed the manufacturer's instructions and still couldn't get it to dispense through the built-in brush. They suggest that you bang it several times against a hard surface before each use - who wants to go through that when you're trying to do quick touch-ups throughout the day? "Pardon me while I slam my sunscreen around, please ignore all the banging." I took the excellent suggestion of another Amazon reviewer and dumped all the powder into a different compact. So now I have to carry a compact plus a retractable brush, but at least I can get the product dispensed. Seriously, the manufacturer needs to figure out better packaging.Still, it's such an excellent solution for anyone who needs to reapply sunscreen over makeup that I only deducted one star for the terrible dispenser. I hope they'll work on that.

So ... am an RN & have used many complicated medical devices over the years but this thing is simply awful! VERY poorly designed. Read many prior reviews indicating tapping the cylinder to activate product, even doing so several minutes. Nothing, and I mean nothing, released the contents into the brush. Re-read the directions times following exactly and same result - nothing. This may be a fabulous product - which I was excited to use - but of what value is a great product w/deplorable delivery system?! Ridiculously expensive, too, which, had it worked may have been worth the price. Returned pronto! Don't waste your money on this!!

The best option for a powder sunscreen

I wish I could give this 5 stars. This is impossible to get flowing through the brush. I have been trying on and off for weeks to get it primed. I finally unscrewed to back and dumped the powder into a container. I pushed a toothpick through the inside to unclog the area the powder is supposed to go through the bristles. I had it slightly working, but now the powder is again just not getting through even though I'm following the directions and pounding it to try to get it flowing again. My final resort is to keep some loose powder in a container and apply it to the brush for each use. This does not make it practical if you need to reapply and you are on the go unfortunately. Otherwise my sensitive skin has not had any negative reactions to the product. I have yet to spend a decent amount of time in the sun to see how well it works as a sunblock.

Love this product
