VanicreamFacial Moisturizer with SPF 30 - Mineral Sunscreen - 2.5fl oz - Formulated Without Common Irritants for Those with Sensitive Skin

I’ve been using this product for a long time now, after trying out a handful of other moisturizing sunscreens that just didn’t quite work for me.My skin tends to be on the dry and sensitive side—I was on Accutane in the past and now I’m using Tretinoin, so finding something that both hydrates and protects from the sun has been essential. This sunscreen has the perfect consistency: it’s not overly thick or greasy, but it’s still substantial enough to feel like it’s doing its job. For reference, it’s a bit thicker than Vanicream’s regular moisturizer, but not in a heavy or uncomfortable way.One of the biggest issues I’ve had with other sunscreens is when they mix with sweat and run into my eyes which causes a crazy burning, stinging mess. That’s never been a problem with this one.It also leaves my skin looking well-moisturized—no white cast, no dryness, and no weird residue as long as it's rubbed in fully. All in all, this has become a staple in my routine and I genuinely recommend it, especially for anyone with dry or sensitive skin.

I’ve only been using this moisturizer with zinc oxide (sun protection) for a couple of weeks, and so far it’s great. Glides on smoothly, unlike thick sunscreens that can get blotchy, and it absorbs quickly. My skin feels very soft and fine lines disappear, so I know the moisturizer is working. I’ve had problems with the drying effects of sunscreen in the past. No discernible scent, which is a plus.It does leave a faint whitish cast that disappears after a minute or two, and my skin tone looks even. The very faint “glow” or hint of zinc oxide reduces some of the redder spots on my sensitive skin, so I am able to use this alone as foundation. Makes it easy to reapply every two hours to continue the sun protection.It’s important to remember that no sunscreen product lasts all day—always follow the directions and reapply to keep sun protection active.I really like the safety rating this cream received from EWG—this is rare for sun protection products. It’s not perfect, but since I have to moisturize and use sunscreen, this product gives me all that without added worry about health and safety concerns.I live in the Pacific Northwest and we haven’t had many full-sun days since I started using it, but so far the sunscreen factor seems to be working. Because this product glides on so easily I am able to avoid areas of missed coverage. I will update this review when I’ve tested it in the summer, but I expect that I’ll need a full sunscreen if I’m spending all day outside.Reading other reviews, I’m concerned to see that people use this as both day and nighttime moisturizer. Zinc oxide is one of the safer sunscreen options, but give your skin and overall health a break by using this only during the day (even on cloudy days). Wash your face in the evening and apply a non-zinc moisturizer overnight. I think Vanicream makes one if you like the way this product feels.

Used it this morning for the first time. So far I like it. Feels very gentle on my skin, did not irritate my skin in anyway. I have very sensitive, reactive skin. So I'm really glad I found this facial moisturizer with spf. Spf moisturizer is very important to me. I use the Vanicream vitamin C serum and their facial cleanser. I listened to a dermatologist and she recommended the brand Vanicream for sensitive skin people. So far I have loved their products. I have the regular daily face moisturizer arriving today so I can't wait to give that one a try too.One thing I will say about this spf moisturizer, do NOT use if you have oily skin. This product is very moisturizing so it is perfect for someone with dry skin. A little goes a long way. Not pasty at all. When I first put it on I could feel the oily substance but it immediately absorbs into your skin. I've had it on for 2 hours now and it's completely settle in my skin and I can't feel any residue what's so ever. Not sticky at all.

The Dermatologist recommended this product for me to use since i have very sensitive skin . Very comfortable , light and best cream ever .

I love this moisturizer! I’d been searching for a moisturizer with mineral SPF, which this Vanicream moisturizer has. I was also recently diagnosed with allergies to fragrances and dyes- this fits the bill for my sensitive skin. It doesn’t leave a white cast, as long as you rub it in well. It does have a bit of a greasy/shiny finish initially, but it quickly goes away as the product absorbs. I also love the affordable price tag. Highly recommend!

I have been searching for a good facial sunscreen for a while. This is unfortunately another one for my bin of sunscreen flops. Note that I have very oily, sensitive, acne-prone skin. This product was used for typical daily wear (for me, taking several 10-minute walks in the hot summer sun throughout the day). I don't sweat much, but I am typically quite oily even without moisturizing products.Pros:- Very moisturizing. It would be good for someone with very dry skin. My skin looked exceptionally well hydrated.- Unscented. My skin tends to react poorly to scented products. This had no scent.- Does protect against the sun. With proper application, I have never burned with this product.Cons:- VERY greasy. I applied just enough sunscreen to cover my skin. It felt like I was covered in an oily film. My whole face had a slick sheen to it. It was especially greasy looking in the summer sun.- Does leave a slight white cast. I would say my skin tone is lightly tanned. There was a light but noticeable white film over my whole face, even after rubbing in and drying down for 15 minutes. Would be best for those with fairer skin tones.- Thick formulation. It was difficult to apply in a uniform layer because of how thick the product was. I prefer a more liquidy formulation for even, light coverage. It felt very oily/film-like on my skin even after drying down.
