"This is the Peter Thomas Roth Max mineral tinted sunscreen broadspectrum SPF 45 and I love this because it comes out like a tinted mousse. [...] Tinted SPF is great if you're prone to hyperpigmentation because it also blocks visible light like blue light from the sun in addition to blocking UVA and UVB. This also has safflower extract and vitamin C and E for helping with your skin health. Interestingly it also has this diamond powder that gives my skin a really nice radiant glow. This is a mineral sunscreen so it's zinc oxide and titanium dioxide and I really like the texture and finish of it. The tint is really nice, it's not too orangey, it is kind of like a universally flattering tint and it's also hydrating. [...] It blends in so easily with no white cast obviously because it's tinted. This is such a unique and special sunscreen. I recognize that this is an expensive splurge product so I don't usually recommend it to everyone, but it is 30% off right now so this is definitely worth checking out if it's within your budget."

Tinted Sunscreens: Top 6 Picks | Dr. Joyce Park

"This has a mousse texture that reminds me of a delicious caramel mousse because of the color and the finish, but when I put it on it just melts into my skin seamlessly. The texture is unparalleled. It really just blends in easily, it feels really hydrating, and this tint is also more flattering for my skin tone. It doesn't look too orange on me, it doesn't have any pinkness in it. It leans a little bit more beige-ish rather than orange or pink. It's such an elegant formula, and I love that it contains those extra antioxidants like vitamin C and vitamin E as well as that diamond powder because my skin really does look very radiant when I use it. This has about medium coverage, so I do not need to wear foundation on top of it."

Dermatologist's Pregnancy Safe Skincare Routine

"Peter Thomas Roth Max Mineral Tinted Sunscreen SPF 45 is a broadspectrum sunscreen that contains a really high concentration of zinc at over 19% and 1.93% titanium dioxide. It's more of a cream formula, very moisturizing, and it also contains vitamin C and E in smaller amounts so it's not as triggering for my sensitive skin. It rubs in very very easily. The tint is more of a medium coverage. It doesn't really cover everything like you can still see my freckles and my dark spots, but that's fine for my regular day-to-day. I don't think that it's too dark for me to use and I do think it is a very universally flattering tint. The finish is really nice, it helps to smooth out my skin tone, even out my complexion, and it really does make my skin look very radiant."

"I was hoping this would be a more lightweight experience, but the coverage was a little intense for me, it's more in the medium coverage foundation route. It was pretty heavy on my skin too, it just didn't really work with my oily skin type. I only used this a few times before I decided it wasn't my style. If you want that medium coverage foundation experience from a sunscreen you may really like this one."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Vitamin C

Topical vitamin C is an antioxidant with reasonable evidence for dullness and uneven tone. It breaks down in light and air, so how a product is formulated and packaged matters as much as the percentage on the front.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
