What the gurus are saying

This mineral sunscreen drew strong pushback from the gurus who tried it. One reviewer found the formula frustratingly thick and hard to blend, with a white cast that showed on all skin tones, and felt the formula missed an opportunity to improve on The Ordinary's discontinued mineral offerings. Another tested it and disliked it entirely. Not enough gurus have weighed in yet to build a fuller picture of how it performs across different skin types.

"I have no interest in even trying this formula because it's a chemical-based. And I don't use chemical sunscreens. I only use mineral. And I know they used to have two mineral formulations that they discontinued many years ago and those were flops. Honestly, they were so thick and hard to blend into the skin and left a pretty white cast on the skin no matter what skin tone you had. And then to have found out that they released this and a chemical formulation, I thought they could have done better. Maybe something that is tinted, a better mineral formulation."
