What the gurus are saying

This mineral sunscreen earns consistent praise for its shimmery, glowy finish and elegant formula. Dermatologists love the 12% zinc oxide base without chemical filters, the hydrating feel, and the built-in niacinamide. The main thing to know: that glow is substantial, so anyone wanting a matte finish may want to try something else, but those who like shimmer and prefer mineral-only protection will find it genuinely moisturizing and easy to wear.

"I accidentally picked up their glow formula. I'm not a fan of their flex formula. I feel like it gives me too much coverage and I kind of like some skin peeking through. Now, I have used their glow formula in the past. It's not my favorite as far as the glow because it is super glowy, but it is a great skin tone match for me. And if you like that kind of bronzy glowy look for the summer, you're going to love this."

"This finishes with a lot more of a shimmery glow. These are both all mineral. I have loved these for years. Good iron oxide coverage in these Colorescience ones. I love it."

"Color science sunscreens are so cosmetically elegant. They are just in an entire category of their own. The glow is really just one of my favorites. You can see it's a little tinted and these are all minerals so if you love a mineral sunscreen like me, these are for you. A nice little glow."

"This one is SPF 50 and it is a glow finish as well so very similar to the ELTA MD one. This one also mineral only sunscreen so it has zinc oxide in it at 12 percent with no other chemical filters and it has niacinamide in it as well. It does not have hyaluronic acid which is totally fine by me. When I rub it in you can see that it also has that really shimmery glow very similar to the ELTA MD one. The way that these both feel on the skin is also really similar, they're both a little bit moisturizing, not too tacky or sticky. They definitely do not have that dry powdery finish, they're just very moisturizing and nicely hydrating and they look really really similar on the skin. These both are quite shimmery and glowy of the finish and I absolutely love these, I actually really love this brand."
