BEST & WORST MINERAL SPF50 2024
"The problem is it's very, very white. So you're thinking, Dr Me, why did you then promote this product on your channel? And the reason is because two to three years ago there weren't any other options, and really it was this or chemical sunscreens at the time. So you would see me running on the road with a white face wearing this Sheer Zinc. So even though now there are better offerings, and I would give this a pretty low rating out of ten, we're looking at about two or three, just for the nostalgia alone I'm going to give it a five."

"This is just if you don't care if you have a white cast, this one's for you. Super thick, ultra effective. The reason I love it, I find it to be a lot less irritating on my eyes than a lot of other active sunscreens. Like when you're outside and you're doing active things, you're going to sweat and it's going to run. If you're in the water, it's going to run. Doesn't irritate my eyes like a lot of other active sunscreens."
