Best sunscreen for darker skin/People of Color. No White Cast No WHITE CAST AT ALL!
I'm a die hard user of sunscreen but as an African American woman most Physical sunscreens give a horrible white cast either alone or in combination with foundation/powder. I've tried 100% chemical sunscreen and find them too greasy or broke me out. My dermatologist recommended EltaMD and I will never use anything else.
I like that this sunscreen is SPF 50, that it has no white cast on my darker skin and that it is water-resistant. An added bonus is that there is no stinging if I rub my eyes after application. This is my HOLY GRAIL sunscreen. EltaMD please never discontinue this product or change the formula!
I use about a pea size amount which is all you need for your face and neck. I rub it on my face and neck in an upward fashion and within seconds it is absorbed. Initially there is a shine to my face, but that is gone within a minute or so. No white cast at all and it plays nice with my other face products. I don't have any problem layering this with my primer, foundation and/or pressed powder. I apply my sunscreen first, then my primer, them my foundation or powder.
I wear sunscreen daily, I never leave the house without it and after talking with others, I wear it when I'm in front of my laptop screen for long periods of time.
I hope this review helped you and thanks for reaading!
