Ultrasun Mineral Face SPF50

Ultrasun Mineral Face SPF50

Perfect, exactly what I want, non nano mineral sunscreen that smells nice, feels nice n leaves a white caste so I can see exactly where I've put it. I love this stuff.

Great product, really suits my skin. Please keep making this product.

I find that chemical sunscreen stings my face so I have been looking for a mineral sunscreen that is discreet and doesn't look like a white clown-mask if I apply the necessary amount to achieve the advertised SPF. "Ultrasun Face SPF 50: Mineral sun protection for face" manages to minimise the whiteness sufficiently to make the product wearable in situations where you are conscious of your appearance.
Noting other reviews here, I agree that it looks white when I first put it on, but I found that it does settle to become somewhat more transparent. I agree that it has quite a stiff consistency, but it goes on better if I slather on moisturiser first and give it time to be fully absorbed and no longer "wet" to the touch - I have to be more patient than usual!
For me, the product is certainly less visible than other mineral sunscreens. I think it does settle to semi-transparency or semi-invisibility, although it's obvious that I am wearing something on my skin. It makes me look rather more pale than usual and I need foundation on top to restore colour if I'm out in public! I am a mousy-haired northern European with no sun tan, so I am naturally quite pale and this may be why I can just apply a little foundation to successfully counteract the white cast. If you are even slightly darker-skinned, I would not be surprised if this product is nowhere near semi-invisible. It would be useful if Ultrasun was clearer about the cosmetic appearance on different skin tones.
The product accepts a layer of foundation reasonable well (no immediate grainy break-down) but the sunscreen does deteriorate over the day and is certainly grainy by the evening on a hot day (particularly in the T-zone and around nostrils). I have to check for grainy break-down periodically during the day and perhaps reapply to my nose in particular.

Easy to use and as far as I can tell it's working well, and long lasting. It is thicker than other Ultrasun products I've used but find it easier to apply and it didnt seem to rub off when I was wearing a mask or onto clothes once it had been absorbed. Not so bothered about appearance!

Sorry to say this Mineral SPF50 is really disappointing. It’s so thick and leaves a white cast. It’s advertised as almost invisible. Not true. Cannot use it.

I dont like this product at all tbh. I have another ultrasun face sunscreen that i really like (it is chemical filters) so this was very disappointing. It leaves a bad white cast that sort of separates as the day goes on. It also seems to emphasise dry patches . Will save for outdoor activities where i dont care about my appearance lol
