"It's super lightweight, and pretty much no matter what your skin tone is you're going to love this sunscreen. Mineral-wise, it's pretty close to invisible outside of your beard, which is as good as you can hope for with a pure mineral sunscreen. It's gentle, and a lot of mineral sunscreens irritate my skin quite a bit, but this is great. If you're looking for a mineral sunscreen, this is great. I think it's wonderful."

"I hope Paula's Choice barrier protect mineral sunscreen is going to be a bit of a lifesaver for my rosacea, it's SPF 30 with allantoin and centella asiatica so it should be soothing, calming, healing. After a wear test, I completely forgot I even had this sunscreen on, it's so comfortable on the skin, my eyes aren't stinging whatsoever, my skin feels very comfortable, honestly I think this is going to be one of my new favorite sunscreens. There was a bit of my rosacea flaring up on a really warm day, but not too dissimilar to what sunscreens always do to my skin."
