Prequel Skin Sun Barrier Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50. PA++++ Broad Spectrum Zinc Oxide Sunblock with Semi-Transparent Lightweight Texture. Moisturizing UV Defense for Face. Travel Size, 1.7oz

I have contact dermatitis so I can only use mineral sunscreen. I've tried SO MANY sunscreens including American, Australian and Korean brands and this is the best one by far. If doesn't irritate my skin, it's moisturizing so I save one step, it doesn't leave a white cast (imo, since mineral sunscreens leave a slight white cast), it has antioxidants so it actually saves me another step because I usually apply vitamin C to prevent skin aging from free radicals, it has a high SPF! Some mineral sunscreens have lower SPF protection for some reason. Lastly, it applies so incredibly easily. I always struggle with mineral sunscreens because you need to rub them on for a long time for them to blend in adequately. It has a natural fragrance that I really like, and it's not overpowering either. It also is pinkish which is perfect for me because I naturally have a pink undertone. I was afraid it'd make me look TOO pink but it just looks like my skin. Literally couldn't ask for anything else. I'm so happy with this sunscreen.

This is an amazing mineral sunscreen! Light, not thick and sticky. It doesn't smell weird. It's not tinted (like rubbing peanut butter on your face). It doesn't feel heavy. It's actually amazing! The price is also so much more affordable than other mineral face sunscreens. It is a bit luminous, as stated in the description, but I don't find it to be anything too wild or glittery. I wear it under makeup and it feels great. Prequel is nailing it!

I bought this along with the Prequel hydrating serum and I am so impressed with these products. As for the sunscreen, I have medium olive skin so zinc oxide sunscreens very often give a white-ish cast. Or they're thick and feel like a sweater on your skin. Not the case here. I've been wearing this sunscreen daily for the last two weeks and can say it's the best I've found. And I've used drugstore to high end dermatologist brands. The texture is light, thin enough to absorb into the skin instead of sitting on it. It's not greasy and there's no cast, at least not on my skin. If anything, I feel like it gives my skin a bit of a blur. I have drier mature skin, so I do put this on after the Prequel hydration serum and moisturizer. My skin seems happy.

I have purchased this sunscreen 6 or 7 times now in the last year. Full disclosure, I did NOT like it the first few times I tried it. After a month or so, I totally changed my mind though. It blends in well, doesn't pill, and protects my skin well. I love the consistency of it as it isn't thick but also isn't runny. I have fair skin so it does work well with my skin tone. I do not wear full makeup ever so I cannot speak for it working with makeup. I usually apply the sunscreen then a little concealer under my eyes and I'm good to go. My face has a delightful glow too...not a greasy look. One reason I find myself going to this brand is the lack of fragrance and unnecessary ingredients in their products. Price point is great for me too. Prequel is a brand I trust. I've purchased: gleanser (X2), sa gleanser, half and half, the balm, the gel, hypochlorous spray (X2), the peel, the hand wrap (x5)...love em all!

I'm sure this is an effective mineral sunscreen. I like that it has a slight tint which does offset the white cast. My problem is it never dries down and stays looking greasy.

I really wanted to love this sunscreen bc I love the brand, but it was not good! It makes your face really greasy throughout the day, peels off (with or without makeup), and has even started to burn my eyes. I gave it two stars bc it has good protection & works well for about two hours but looks AWFUL at the end of a long day.

This mineral sunscreen has surprisingly little cast, and I only noticed a slight one on my fair skin for the first couple of minutes. Unlike my tinted moisturizer's light bronze tone (Cetaphil's spf40 Redness Relieving Daily Facial Moisturizer), the iron oxides only show up as a very light pink so this doesn't cover up anything or work as a foundation alternative. It has a lotion-like consistency and goes on smoothly and leaves the skin with a glow but also feels a touch oily. If I apply first and wait at least 30-60 minutes, I can apply a second layer of tinted moisturizer or foundation without much oiliness but if I apply Prequel as the second layer, it will feel surprisingly oily hours later. So I don't recommend this if you have oily skin. On the plus side, it did NOT in any way irritate my sensitive rosacea-prone skin. I find it a bit pricey: $20+ for 1.7 oz. but if your budget is larger, it's a solid sunscreen.

Prequel did not disappoint! I have tried several products of this brand and this one is another winner. I have repurchased since first tried it. I love the texture, at first I thought it might leave a white cast but it didn’t. For reference I’m medium skin tone and after applying it didn’t leave a white cast on me. Skin feels very moisturized and works for me even under makeup.
