Aveeno Protect + Soothe Mineral Sunscreen Stick for Sensitive Skin, SPF 50, Water-Resistant for 80 minutes, Face & Body Sunscreen with Zinc Oxide & Oat, Fragrance-Free, Travel Size, 1.5 OZ

It’s good for my skin and really works for my skin..a lil white cast but you can blend it easy.

This is now my go to sunscreen - love it for many reasons!I am very sensitive to UV, so this sunscreen works well under makeup.I love the fact that this sunscreen is a stick as I dislike having to apply sunscreen with fingers and then have to wash my hands and it applies quickly and easily.I also love the fact that this sunscreen doesn't leave a white layer, it does not turn my moisturizer into cottage cheese(!) and has a matt rather than shiny appearance - all great plusses in my book.Would definitely recommend and will be buying more!Thank you Aveeno for great products!

I'm writing this review with the remains of an itchy, peeling sunburn on the back of my upper arm, so...there's that. However, I'm pretty sure it was more my fault than the sunscreen's. If you've never used stick sunscreen before, here is the vital fact you need to know: unlike liquid or spray sunscreens, stick sunscreens don't spread out when you rub them into your skin. The sunscreen stays exactly, precisely in the exact, precise spot you applied it. Stick sunscreen is faster to apply than liquid and less messy than either liquids or sprays, but you must be vigilant about applying it in smooth, overlapping strokes. If you miss a spot, you're toast--or at least you'll end up with a well-toasted spot on your skin.But if you don't miss a spot, this sunscreen works. I was out in the sun for several hours a day for several days in a row on vacation, waaaaayyy more sun than I usually get, as I'm the droniest of office drones. And I'm fair-skinned and burn pretty easily. But with this sunscreen, I didn't get any burns except in the spot I apparently missed. (For the record, though, I used liquid sunscreen on my face and ears, as it's easier to get liquid sunscreen into little crevices such as behind your ears.)In response to a common complaint about this sunscreen, yes, it will leave a white cast on your skin. That's because it's mineral sunscreen. To oversimplify the difference between chemical and mineral sunscreens, chemical sunscreens protect your skin from UV rays by absorbing the rays and converting them to heat, while mineral sunscreens physically block UV rays from your skin. The active ingredient in mineral sunscreens is a bright-white mineral compound, either zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. The particles of these bright-white compounds act like tiny mirrors to reflect the sun away from your skin. In short, mineral sunscreens pretty much have to be bright-white in order to do their job, because no other color reflects sunlight as efficiently.Obviously, you'll have to decide for yourself how much the white cast of mineral sunscreens bothers you. If you decide you can't stand it, use chemical sunscreen instead. (If you're wondering how to tell whether the sunscreen you're buying is chemical or mineral, look for the word "mineral" in the product name or description. If you don't see the word "mineral," it's probably chemical.) Personally, I decided not to worry about the white cast. I figure that if people see me at the beach with a ghostly white tinge to my skin, most of them will be smart enough to realize that I look that way because I just applied sunscreen and not because I'm actually a ghost. And given a choice between being mistaken for a ghost or getting sunburned, I'll go with being mistaken for a ghost.

I've tried Many face creams with some feeble SPF. This is superior. It's Zinc Oxide, which is better than the various chemicals in more expensive face creams, serums or face primers. Blocks UVA and UVB rays.It's not greasy, creamy, sticky, drying, irritating or smelly. 50 SPF. Easy to put on. No fragrance. Alone or under makeup. It even works as a pore diminisher!Yes, there's a slight white cast. Because it's Zinc Oxide. Cover with makeup or a tinted moisturizer if it bothers you. I prefer a slight cast to sun damage/skin cancer.

I absolutely loved the idea of a stick sunscreen for ease of application for hard to reach spots or to carry on the go. I like this stick and the smell- but I don’t love that it leaves a white residue on your skin. Even if you rub it in - it still makes your skin look a little ghost from residue. Other than that- I would say it’s perfect for on the go and quick application and smells great.

This Aveeno sunblock stick is one of the best unscented stick sunblock options currently available. I've tried half a dozen different unscented sunblock sticks of comparable SPF rating and find this one to be the best in terms of consistency, effectiveness, and value. The consistency of this Aveeno stick is smoother than any of the other options I've tried; most tend to be either too waxy or too oily when applied, and this stick strikes a good balance between the two. As far as effectiveness, this has kept the skin on my hands and arms from getting sunburned with regular use. I have extremely sensitive, reactive skin, and this stick does not cause any allergic reactions or rashes over five years of usage so far. The only negative is that it does have a bit of a white cast, but I think all zinc based sticks have that; this one is not as bad as others I've tried. In addition, the size of this stick is the same as a regular deodorant stick, which is much larger than many of the tiny sunscreen stick options out there. Overall I would recommend this to anyone with sensitive skin looking for a sunblock stick option.

¡Una maravilla! Se aplica fácilmente, no deja residuos blancos y es ideal para piel sensible. Me da confianza usarlo porque es Aveeno y porque es mineral. Lo llevo en mi bolsa siempre.
