CoTZ Face Moisture Lightly Tinted Mineral Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 35; 1.5 oz / 42.5 g

This is my go to two-in-one product. After moisturizer, I use it as a primer and sunscreen and then apply my skin tint which goes on like silk overtop. This feels amazing on my face and really keeps my foundation in place, win win that i'm getting sun protection with it!

I love the feel of this on my skin. I live in FL and outside a lot. I don’t burn at all. My foundation layers nice on top too

This stuff is great. I have contact dermatitis and have to watch my ingredients closely. This meets my needs, and the texture is quite nice. It works for me like a primer. And it never causes me any breakouts or reactions.

Great tinted moisturizer for fairer skin with cool undertones. There are other products that I like the texture/coverage more (thus 4 stars instead of 5), but the color on this is unlike other very orange products. I will plan to purchase again.

So comfortable to wear, no greasy feel and great sun protection.

I am on prescription tretinoin hydroquinone for dark spots, fine lines, acne, discoloration, etc. It is extremely important for me to wear sunscreen every single day. I needed a mineral sunscreen due to the prescription cream making my skin very sensitive. I can’t handle chemical sunscreens at this time. I was looking for a mineral sunscreen that wouldn’t leave a white cast, isn’t greasy and wears well under makeup. This sunscreen is something I actually want to put on every morning. I normally dread mineral sunscreen. There is no white cast and it isn’t greasy. It blends out super fast to a smooth finish. It leaves a silky texture that feels like a pore blurring primer. It reminds me of the texture of benefit pore blurring primer. It has a light beige tint that isn’t too dark for my fair skin. The tint blends out sheer. It has just enough tint to cut out that white cast so it doesn’t leave you looking ridiculous. I love that it has water resistance so I don’t need a separate sunscreen for outdoor/water activities. It layers well on top of moisturizer and wears well under makeup. I have NOT found this has pilled up with other products. It layers well on top of itself. The tube is easy to throw in my purse for reapplication. I love that it’s 16% zinc because that’s higher than a lot of zinc sunscreens on the market. The tube is a fairly normal size for face sunscreens. A little goes a long way. Most importantly I like the texture and feeling because I’m very picky. It hasn’t given me acne or caused sensitivity. Just be aware it does feel like a pore blurring primer. If you are ok with that texture then you will probably love this. I do notice it has added moisture in it but I would not use this without a light moisturizer under it, especially in the winter. It certainly doesn’t dry out my skin though, or make me oily! Some zinc sunscreens can really dry out your skin and make you flaky and this did not do that at all. After applying my skin feels supple, not dry. I use a very light weight cetaphil gel moisturizer under it and then apply my usual maybelline liquid foundation on top. I originally had combo skin prior to being on this prescription cream, but now my skin definitely leans more dry. So the last thing I want is to dry my skin out more or cause my oily t zone to overproduce. I’m glad this sunscreen doesn’t cause any of those issues. I purchased this with my own money no paid reviews here. I just love this light weight, easy to blend sunscreen! I only wish they had a jumbo size because although a little goes a long way for my face, I would love a bigger tube for my body too. I only use this on my face and neck because the tube is not large and it’s more expensive than my body sunscreen.

covers smoothly and effectively

I wanted this to work so bad. It blended on my skin perfectly, which is rare for tinted sunscreens. I loved that it is 16% zinc and matte finish. However I experienced extremely bad breakouts every time I tried to use this. I don’t usually get major zits like I got from this that just wouldn’t heal for weeks. My guess is that all the heavy silicones (which make it like a thick primer in texture) are to blame. I tried so many different cleansers and could never completely wash this off at the end of the day. It leaves a film that must have been clogging my pores. I wish they could make a different version of this with the same tint and zinc content and matte finish but with a much thinner consistency without soo many silicones and then maybe I could use it. Sadly, I am past the return window :/

Easy to apply. Not greasy. I like it. Will try other Cotz products.
