Cotz Face Sunscreen for Lighter Skin Tones, SPF 40 1.5 oz (Pack of 3)

I have both the tan and non-tinted versions of this sunscreen. I have tried so many recommended physical sunscreens. Most of them leave a greasy film which just makes a mess out of foundation. This is the only one I've found that goes on smooth and actually provides a great base/primer for foundation. I like the tan also but find that it makes my foundation look darker, whereas the non-tinted settles in nicely and doesn't affect the color. I'm super sensitive to chemical sunscreens and most silicone based primers. I have been pleasantly surprised that the silicones in this sunscreen haven't bothered me. For fair skinned folks - this is the perfect face sunscreen.

I've used the Cotz tinted sunscreen and was very pleased with the texture and quality. The only reason I've switched to the Lighter Skin Tone version because the tinted one was a little on the dark side for my skin tone. To much of my dismay is that this seem to be of different formula because it caused acne on my chin. I tried this 3 days in a row and the symptom persists. The acne took days to heal too. No acne form once I switched it out for my other sunscreen. Btw, I'm a 52 yr old woman and I've passed my acne growing phase unless coming from unsuitable sunscreen or skincare.

My dermatologist in Beverly Hills repackages and sells this stuff for $45 per bottle. It's worth it at that price -- so at $15 a tube, it's a steal.I have light skin, live in Southern California, and have a family history of sun-related skin issues, so I've tried a number of daily SPF products over the years. This is absolutely the best. It offers unparalleled, chemical-free sun protection, and goes on invisible, matte, and non-greasy.Side note: this product stings if it gets in your eyes during application, so don't go smearing a handful across your face. Dab and spread -- a little goes a long way. I also mix in a tiny bit of the "natural" skin tone version (which has a slightly less creamy "out of the tube" texture") to avoid even the slightest hint of a white cast from the mineral sunscreens.

I was recommended this sunscreen by my dermatologist. She gave me a sample and I’ve never been able to find it locally. Thankfully I found it here. I bought the unscented face. This is the best face lotion there is. It’s not thick, oily are has that SPF smell. It goes on Like the some makeup foundations where it’s cream when it comes out of the tube and rubs on your face almost like powder. Blends perfectly. I have oily skin and I sweat a lot and this just fits the bill for protecting my face. I definitely would recommend this to anybody.

I received a sample version of the tinted sunscreen a while back and loved it, but decided to buy the non-tinted version so both my husband and I could use it. We brought it on a recent trip to somewhere very sunny. We used it the first day and then never again. Be advised that while it does not have a "tint" it made our faces ghostly white even when applied lightly. The package says "enhances light tones" which I didn't assume to mean it that it would add a white coat to our faces removing any and all natural color. Disappointing. Buy the tinted.

Sunscreen with Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide as active ingredients will leave a white cast. I think there's not much in this tiny tube, and using tinier amounts doesn't FEEL like it's going to protect my skin. The only way I think I know for sure it's going to work is if I've put enough to leave a white cast. I don't know about this one, just doesn't work with me. But, it's sunscreen I guess.

I was sent the wrong product. I received the Face Prime and protect Non tinted spf 40. I used it this morning and didn’t realize it wasn’t what I ordered. The product I received is very nice, but there is a lot of pilling. Once I got the pilling off, I liked it. The texture is very sheer and it does act as a primer, which it is. It feels lightweight, but it’s not what I ordered.

I was looking for a natural, matte sunscreen and I got lucky on my first try! This product is great, especially for the price. I have oily skin, which is why I was looking for a matte finish, and it doesn't make my skin more oily after use. A little goes a long way too. I use is after washing + moisturizing my face, under my makeup. It doesn't make my makeup cakey or thick. Highly recommend if you have oily skin.
