I want to try this product. But I have problems in the past using products that work on lighter skin tone but harsher on mine. Can anyone recommend it?

Best matte sunscreen
This is the best matte sunscreen I've ever tried. In fact, it is so matte for my combo skin that it tends to dehydrate it... I fix this by using a heave moisturizer before. It has quite strong floral perfume which I don't mind. I see no whitecast on me but I think darker skin tones could experience it. It spreads incredibly easily.

Vichy capital soliel it’s a water fluid & sinks right into the skin. No residue or grease what so ever and good priced.

Recommended by dermatologist
I had a dermatologist remove some pigmentation spots via freezing. Personally, I have very dry skin. On her recommendation, I use the product already shown. The product spreads well, penetrates well into the skin and provides good/appropriate protection for the face all year round. Just asked: pigmentation spots that have been present for years and have even penetrated the dermis can NEVER disappear with a beauty product. Pure waste of money 🤷♀️

Deep Tanning Oil by Garnier Ambre Solaire
Garnier Ambre Solaire guarantees the fight against cancer. This oil is nice to use and smells like coconut. It makes the skin shine and gives a nice softness. Use: apply an extra protection factor before sunbathing, apply a layer of this product on top after sunbathing (repeat these steps regularly). For those who easily get a tan (hubby only needs to walk in the sun for a few minutes and already looks like he has been in the tropics for several weeks). Gets a big 4/5 for the fine composition, price/quality and user-friendliness. #sunprotection2022

OK... that's just it
What is being written about it? Ambre Solaire UV Water transparent sun spray SPF 50 • Transparent, aqueous structure • Very high protection with SPF 50, UVB and UVA protection • Enriched with Aloe Vera • Does not stick • Water resistant • Light, refreshing and invisible like water What is my finding? Light structure that is absorbed very quickly into the skin. Love working with Aloe Vera, which protects me in a healthy way. Shake well before use, easy to apply thanks to the spray. I use it in conjunction with other products, which means that the use of this product does not reflect a specific function/characteristic. So I am not able to recommend this extra; rather I am like 'it will contribute to... ', which is not the reason for me to purchase or recommend again. #Garnier

Amazing
This sun cream has become part of my day to day routine. Skincare is essential and this creates a lovely feeling on the skin and doesn’t feel tacky or sticky or greasy! I have quite sensitive skin and I always love using E.L.F products as they don’t upset my skin

Great sun protection
ANTHELIOS UVMUNE 400 DERMO PEDIATRICS Invisible Fluid is a high sun protection, specially formulated for children, also great for the whole family. This suncream offers broad spectrum protection with SPF50+, guarding against both UVA and UVB rays. The invisible formula blends seamlessly into the skin without leaving a white cast. Suitable for sensitive skin as well as atopy prone skin which is great for my son. Both my kids enjoyed applying it and really liked the little bottle, which is very handy and fits into any handbag, making it perfect for travelling, l've also been using this cream as my face sun protection. I like the consistency and the hydrating properties. Overall very effective and gentle sunscreen,

Terrable
I recently used Nivea Kids sunscreen and had a severe skin reaction that looked like a severe burn. The chemical in the product left me in agony and extreme discomfort. It was a horrible experience, and I do not recommend this brand. I no longer trust this product on my skin. Please make sure to consult a healthcare professional about your skin reaction if you haven't already. Your health and safety are important.

Not for me
I really didn’t get on with this product and ended up returning it. I have dry skin and found the product pilled quite a bit under makeup. It was much too dark on my fair skin so if I wanted to use enough for SPF coverage I looked ridiculous. It also left a slight burning sensation on my skin. Shame as I really wanted to love it!

Lightweight and great under makeup
This sunscreen is much more of a watery gel consistency and it feels incredibly light on the skin. It absorbs very quickly and works super well under makeup, no pilling or dissolving. It’s very easy to apply and you can do multiple layers if you want to double up on a very sunny day or using retinol like me. The only slight downside is in the seconds before it takes to absorb there’s a slight smell like alcohol evaporating. That being said I have dry skin and haven’t found it drying.

The most unnoticeable sun screen I have ever used
I don't think I can use any other sunscreen for my face after using this one. A known problem I get with sunscreens is that they seem to "suffocate" the sweat glands on my face and they cause excess sweating. Now imagine it's already a hot day, who in their right mind WANTS to sweat more just to protect their face from sun rays? But there is no need to suffer from excess sweating when using this sunscreen. It is light as a feather and gets absorbed into the skin as if it were just a light serum. As a bonus, it gives the skin a healthy (but not greasy!) glow and there is zero heaviness felt. I never got burned in my face while using it so it does its job! I also believe that it won't leave a white cast on darker skin, but I can't 100% promise that because I'm light.

The best mineral SPF out there!
I'm totally in LOVE with my Mecca Cosmetica "To Save Face" SPF 30. it comes in 50 as well, for those who really want it (but... Industry secret... we don't seriously need 50! it's more a marketing gimmick aimed to reassure us, since you should be reapplying SPF every two hours anyway 50 actually doesn't give you any realistic extra protection, and often leads to people GETTING sunburned because they think they don't need to reapply it as frequently!). This Aussie company (because, let's face it, the Aussies know all about SPF!) has produced a fantastic, reef safe, mineral SPF that just vanishes into the skin without leaving any cast or greasiness. It makes a great base for makeup and is loaded with skincare ingredients to provide antioxidants and hydration, to protect andaintain your skin barrier. It also leaves a dewy to matte finish, which is really lovely and is such a luxurious texture to apply that I can actually skip my morning moisturiser if I choose to! It's vegan, offers protection against UVA and UVB, uses 30% PCR plastic in its packaging and is just totally awesome!

Like a fragrance body mist and suncare in one
This is the only sunscreen I have ever worn and received compliments from a stranger about how I good I smelt. It really is like Sol de janeiro body mist had a sun care child, it smells wonderful. My only gripe is the price, I do wish this was a more affordable line!

Effective yet lightweight spf
The Sun Protective Water SPF30 provides broad sun protection targeting 100% of sun spectrum and also helps repair skin from sun induced damage. I love the fact it is so lightweight, refreshing and provides a healthy-looking golden tan in twice less time of sun exposure. My skin feels like it’s got nothing on it, but yet it is protected. It has a non-oily formula and can even be applied to wet skin. I have found it to be fast absorbed, and invisible once applied. My skin feels intensely moisturized, and it smells amazing.

Amazing
Bought this tentatively but it's a great reliable sunscreen that can be applied over makeup. It is very high quality and leaves NO WHITE CAST - coming from a woman of colour this is such a pleasure to use as i dont have to worry whether my face looks grey or not!

Doesn’t leave a white cast
I have been using this sunscreen for so e time now. It does not leave a white cast and feels very hydrating on the skin but it does make my skin very oily. I am not sure its just me or others have also noticed it that it gets very oily after some time.

WHOA - No?!
I really really REALLY wanted to like this… :( First the positives, I have this in the colour “Sunbeam” which is apparently the middle shade despite looking like the lightest on their advert (evidently the middle one is just full of glitter). It goes on BEAUTIFULLY and gives such a gorgeous, healthy, iridescent glow without being straight up metallic disco ball. It could definitely have more coverage, as well as a higher SPF, but overall I love the finish. BUT, not only did I find myself super oily and sticky by the end of the day, but sadly after a few consecutive days of consistently using this, I started to develop what seems like teeny tiny little cystic acne marks, as well as something akin to heat rash. Deep underground pimples that I could only extract with the help of microdart pimple patches. So I’ve sadly had to discontinue use. If you’re lucky and your skin doesn’t have this reaction though, then I think you would really enjoy this product! Worth a try anyway given the price point.

Rolls Royce of sunscreems
That is an amazing new product, that just came out and already got into top 7 sunscreens by British Vogue. Invisible gel texture feels like a second skin. Would absolutely recommend. Love the brand and this spf. Easy to take in a handbag and feels great as a primers as well.

I'm a white girl, but this sunscreen is clear! So I can't see a chance of it leaving a white cast on you.
