COTZ Face Prime & Protect Non-Tinted Mineral Sunscreen and Facial Primer Broad Spectrum SPF 40; PA++++ 1.5 oz / 42.5 g.

I love the Cotz tinted sunscreen. It is 40 proof and has really protected me from the sun. I wear it year round ever since I had developed skin cancer from when I was a young girl. My dermatologist recommended it to me a few years ago. I have had really good success with it. I like that it is tinted and makes you look like you have a year round tan instead of with other sun protection products that make your skin white when you use it. I have white enough skin without using products that make your skin look even whiter. I highly recommend this product.

I bought this sunscreen after having to return the Cotz Face tinted sunscreen because it was a little too dark for my ivory complexion. It goes on very smooth and blends well. It mattifies my complexion instead of leaving it shiny like most other sunscreens I've tried tend to do. It also has a primer-like effect: makeup goes on more smoothly and pores are diminished. Though it blends well, it gives my skin a slightly lighter look because of the zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide. Wearing foundation over it mutes that a bit, but I'd imagine it might be more obvious on skin tones darker than mine. The tinted version of this product is called 'Natural Skin Tone'. That sunscreen has the same consistency and primer effect as this one, but some tan color is added so it's a little like wearing a foundation or tinted primer. The manufacturer told me the two versions can be mixed together if someone finds one too light and the other too dark. I don't mind the lighter look because it's very subtle and since I like to apply sunscreen to my neck, I don't want to have to worry about color transferring to my clothing. As far as sun protection, this sunscreen works great and I love that it's chemical-free. When I wear regular chemical-based sunscreens, they end up sliding down my face, especially in warm weather and leaves my eyes red and burny. I never have that problem with Cotz sunscreens which is one of the reasons I buy this brand. It's unscented, doesn't break out my skin or irritate it even though I have sensitive skin. I'm happy to have found a sunscreen that has natural protection and makes my complexion look better at the same time.

This stuff is absolutely amazing. It's hard to explain, but it goes on like a dry lotion. I use toner first, then put this on, and it instantly mattifies my skin. Then I put on liquid foundation and no longer need to wear powder over it because my face is already matte. I LOVE IT. I even wear it when I go out at night because it works so well. I am very fair but have not had a problem with it blending into my skin. I use a large pea sized amount and pat it all over my face and neck first, and then go from there because it is hard to spread otherwise. Also, it protects very well, I do not get burned when wearing it hiking and stuff. I will be so upset if this ever gets discontinued. I go through about one tube every 5-6 weeks. I put it on my kids as well. There are no tears because it's not chemical, just mineral... I can literally rub it in my eyes and it does not bother them (I'm not saying to do that, just that it doesn't bother my extremely sensitive eyes). I've used this product for almost 10 years now and think it is top notch.

This sunscreen is great and fills awesome. It's great for oily skin not so much for dry skin because it makes dry patches very obvious. It does leave the white cast but rubs in well and is worth it considering it's one of the only sunscreens that doesn't contain irritants that may be harmful to people with sensitive skin. The cost is pretty high so I only use this sunscreen under makeup.

I like it because it goes on smooth and silky and protects against the sun.

Finally I found an spf that doesn't burn and irritated my skin. I have many chemical allergies and was using the banana boat sensitive sunscreen but it burnt my skin and left me with rashes. This hasn't irritated or burned my skin but it does leave a slight white cast/ can become gritty on skin. Which is normal with physical sunscreens.

I am not sure how much other reviewers are using but I used 1/3 top for face for proper coverage and this is NOT castless. Because it is mineral untinted I did expect this, however it leaves lines of white streaks in the skin and tho matte looking, does have a "wet" touch to it. I dont wear foundation but I can't image it working well over this at proper amount.At a distance my husband says "its not to bad" but for something I use like religion, I want better than that 🤣Pro: i have rosacea and it doesn't burn, sting, or irritate my skin at least 😁

I love how this item does not make my face shiny. It's the best matte sunscreen I've found so far. It does leave a white hue, but I use it as a sunscreen and primer first and then blend in a tinted foundation or cream on top.
