What the gurus are saying

This sunscreen applies beautifully and doesn't look cakey, but it sits on top of the skin rather than sinking in and transfers heavily onto clothes and other surfaces. One dermatologist reported significant staining, while another notes that tinted mineral sunscreens offer extra visible-light protection. The transfer issue is the main sticking point, those bothered by makeup rub-off will want to test it first.

"I've had a few really bad tinted sunscreens that will just ruin my clothes. Like Aven's tinted sunscreen. It ruined my Spam Musub shirt in Hawaii"

"The nice thing about the tinted mineral sunscreens is the tint may offer some additional protection against visible light"
~Nay
"It just sort of sat on top of my skin plus super transferable it came off on everything my clothes my phone"
~Yay
"All three sunscreen options are 100 percent mineral and SPF 50. The thing that is so unique about these particular tinted sunscreens is the concentration of iron oxides. Iron oxides are what protects our skin from visible light and you need to have a high enough percentage of iron oxides to get the best protection. These sunscreen options seem to me to have some of the highest iron oxide concentration that I have tried. This is the most important for people with melasma, hyperpigmentation, and those with darker skin tones. The tinted versions also have niacinamide and skin soothing bisabolol and allantoin. So if you have any of these conditions I mentioned like hyperpigmentation or melasma this is definitely worth the spend in my opinion. So yes for the tinted cream."
