This SPF is great. It feels really nice on the skin, but does feel weird on my hands after I have applied it and takes a little bit of elbow grease to get off my fingers. This SPF looks great under makeup, but the subtle tint also acts as a good primer if I wanted to wear it with just a little blush and concealer. It smooths out the reddness in my skin and preps for any tinted moisturizer or foundation that I may apply after.

I'm not a makeup person, so I used this without makeup, but after applying a moisturizer since it felt like this was somewhat drying. It helps in that case to use something with a bit more oil or heavier. In no way would I describe this as being lightweight. I was very aware that I was wearing it the whole time, and it felt a little gross to be honest when I had to reapply. My pores weren't looking too good I feel like this accentuated them. Following application whether using a heavy oily product prior or a lightweight moisturizer, this thing left my face looking very oily. This is more of a cream than a lotion. I would leave my house worried that people would notice my face looking very shiny, wondering if this would fade throughout the day. I'm not too confident in the protection and the shade was much darker than I anticipated. I expected more from this considering the price point.

One of the very best zinc oxide sunscreens I have tried. Subtle tint and no white cast. Slightly thick out of the bottle but smooths out nicely and is lightweight once applied. Finish is natural-matte, impressive considering it's zinc oxide-based. Formula is soothing and has iron oxides to help prevent hyperpigmentation.

Bought this hoping it would be a matte, more protective version of the Mineral Glow, which didn't irritate my skin or cause acne and gave neutral sheer coverage that didn't look orange on my very pale skin, but was too dewy, requiring powder. That version was recalled after failing testing in Australia, only giving SPF 5 protection. But unfortunately the new Beauty Barrier stings my eyes and the finish is still very shiny and dewy on my skin, almost feeling like it never dries down when I add the correct amount. I am using it on body only so as not to waste it.

This primer works so well. My makeup goes on smooth and there is no pilling. It also is a sunscreen and I used it every day on vacation and didn't burn a bit. Topped with their spray sunscreen part way through the day, Naked Sundays, I am a fan!

This is being marketed as a mineral sunscreen but contains chemical filter boosters! Burns eyes and skin. Such a letdown.
