MuradEnvironmental Shield City Skin Age Defense Broad Spectrum SPF 50 PA++++ – 100% Mineral Sunscreen with Lutein & Iron Oxides for Blue Light Defense, UVA/UVB & Pollution Protection

I just came across this sunscreen and I will continue to buy this. What I love the most about this product is that it ACTUALLY protects your face from the sun. I've tried soo many sunscreens including the Elta MD that everyone seems to love, but I've never gotten sunburn while wearing this sunscreen. I wish it wasn't so expensive but it is the only sunscreen with an spf protection of 50, that protects against pollution, blue/red light, etc. Another thing to mention is that I have an olive tan skin stone and it does not leave a cast and still works well with my foundations without it flaking. It does have a slight chalky residue but when applied with a moisturizer it balances it out.

I absolutely love this product. I sound my summers in my pool and outside as much as I can. This is my go to sunscreen for my face!

The Murad I use is slightly tinted. It goes on smooth and is matte rather than shiny. It blends well on my somewhat medium beige and thinner older skin. After a few minutes it is dry and smooth to the touch. I have used so many sunscreen products in the past, and they all have a downside, whether continually tacky, irritating to my eyes, (my biggest problem) have odd odors, or basically dont work. I generally dont stay in the sun but have been doing some gardening when the UVs (CA) are low, and have stayed out for 1-2 hour durations where I would normally burn easily within several minutes. There is no substitute for a hat and staying out of high UVs, but for those of us who have problems with even low UVs this is likely an excellent product. Probably why it is a bit pricey.

This is hands down the best mineral sunscreen for me. Checks all these boxes:No fragrance, spf 50 pa ++++ , broad spectrum, 100% mineral sunscreen, absolutely no whitecast(I'm a fgp V), lightweight lotion like texture, blue light protection, light yellow tint that leaves no visible colour. The one and only downside to this product is the price point. Its very expensive for a sunscreen product which you use everyday, all day and a lot. But if you are looking for the near perfect mineral sunscreen , this is probably it in my opinion.

Highly recommended, except for the absurdly high price at 1.7 oz. Great finish and seems effective. It's tough to find a mineral, high-SPF sunscreen that doesn't go on like paste and doesn't leave a chalky residue that later flakes and peels. La Roche Posay discontinued a great mineral sunscreen that left a glowing, luminous finish and once I ran out I began a long search for that kind of protection and finish in another brand. This Murad, however overpriced, is it. Contrary to some reviews here, the finish is definitely NOT matte. Matte is a dry finish, flat looking, almost like the face has been powdered or blushed. With dry skin, I crave grease and shine, apparently an unpopular look these days, but one that makes my face feel comfortable, moisturized and healthy. Murad unashamedly contains Argania Spinosa kernel oil and leaves a dewy glow, perfect for dry skin like mine, especially since I don't use any other products on my face apart from mascara. Seems like it might work well for sensitive skin, too. No fragrance and goes on smoothly and easily. It has a slight watery pink tint that disappears on me, but might not work for dark skin tones.

I got this for my husband, after using the blue Murad product for myself. We walk around our city quite a bit and he needed a nice sunscreen that wasn't oily or smelly. (I am super sensitive to smells, so that's a need.)This stuff is fantastic. Not only does it help make his skin smoother and just generally look better, but also no more sunburns! AND despite it not being marketed for this - he had some dry spots on the side of his nose that persisted for over a year no matter what other face lotions he used. He used this - and it was gone in a week. He puts it on after every shower and it's so gentle, so good - it's just put it on and forget. It doesn't trigger zits or anything.I highly recommend this product. I know it's expensive, but it's totally worth it. I've recommended it to several other people in real life too, LOL.

It feels very sticky when used and it's just a small tube.

Does leave a white cast
