Paula's Choice RESIST Super-Light Daily Wrinkle Defense Mineral Sunscreen, SPF 30 Face Sunscreen for Oily Skin, Matte Tinted Face Moisturizer, UVA/UVB Protection, Fragrance-Free

Paula's Choice RESIST Super-Light Daily Wrinkle Defense SPF 30 Matte Tinted Face Moisturizer has become an integral part of my skincare routine, and I am delighted to give it a well-deserved 5-star rating. This exceptional product combines sun protection, moisturization, and a flawless matte finish, resulting in radiant and protected skin. One of the standout features of this face moisturizer is its broad-spectrum SPF 30 protection. Sun protection is crucial in maintaining healthy and youthful-looking skin, and Paula's Choice RESIST delivers just that. Its high SPF shields my skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays, reducing the risk of sun damage and premature aging. Knowing that my skin is well-protected gives me peace of mind throughout the day. The lightweight and non-greasy formula of this moisturizer is another reason for its exceptional rating. It effortlessly glides onto the skin, leaving behind a smooth and matte finish. Unlike many other tinted moisturizers, Paula's Choice RESIST does not feel heavy or clog my pores. It allows my skin to breathe while providing essential hydration, creating a perfect canvas for makeup application or for a natural, no-makeup look. The subtle tint in this moisturizer provides a beautiful sheer coverage, evening out my skin tone and blurring imperfections. It gives my skin a healthy and radiant appearance without feeling or looking heavy. I appreciate the versatility of this product, as it saves me time by combining the benefits of moisturizer, sunscreen, and a touch of coverage in one step. The RESIST Super-Light Daily Wrinkle Defense SPF 30 Matte Tinted Face Moisturizer is also packed with skin-nourishing ingredients. Antioxidants, such as vitamin E and green tea extract, help protect against environmental stressors and promote a more youthful complexion. The formula is also fragrance-free, making it suitable for sensitive skin. As a loyal Paula's Choice customer, I am impressed with the brand's commitment to using effective and science-backed ingredients. Their products are cruelty-free and free from unnecessary irritants, making them a reliable choice for those with sensitive or reactive skin.

I love this stuff more than anything else on the market, the only down side is the smell, and how it makes my hands feel after using it, but both the hand feeling and smell go away pretty quickly and totally worth it for such a good product. This is my 7th time buying it, and i use it under my makeup every single day. This, plus a nice powder foundation will make your makeup SOLID and unmovable, plus, the added benefit is that your face absorbs this product, while your foundation stays on top of it so your makeup never sinks in to your face and never creases. I'm not sure what it is about paulas choice products, but they have never once failed me. I genuinely mean that lol, slowly overtime my entire skin rountine was replaced with all paulas choice products because they work better than anything i've tried before.

This is hands down my favorite tinted mineral sunscreen! I've tried at least 20-30 others now but nothing beats this one. It provides more coverage than others and evens out the redness on my cheeks. It still looks natural and provides a blurring effect that makes my pores and textured skin look great. It does not get oily or greasy throughout the day either. It hasn't caused any breakouts or clogged pores on my sensitive, acne prone skin. The color can be a little dark for my super pale skin in the winter but it's barely noticeable and putting bronzer on my neck evens it out. I have dry skin and live in a dry climate, and this does slightly dry out certain areas of my face after a couple hours (I'm guessing due to the higher zinc %). I wish they made a non-matte version of this. If my face is feeling extra dry that day, I'll mix a bit of a glowy sunscreen in with it. If you want more coverage, you can mix a cc cream or a couple drops of foundation with it as well. Overall, this is the absolute best of the best for tinted mineral sunscreen that provides the perfect amount of coverage and really protects you from the sun.

First of all, account is in husband’s name…hence the name George on the review. I know you are supposed to wear sunscreen every day, but most moisturizers with sunscreen have chemical spf, which doesn’t agree with my sensitive aging skin and I prefer the convenience of hydration and spf in one step, if possible. This one has physical sunscreen….so check #1. I don’t typically wear full coverage foundation and prefer something lighter to even out my complexion. So, tinted moisturizers seem like a good choice, but most tinted moisturizers are either too dark for my skin color to begin with or oxidize to a shade too orange. But this one is light enough and does not oxidize on my skin. So, check #2. I also prefer a matte or semi matte finish instead of a dewy finish, which this provides for me. It goes on easily with fingers and dries down without feeling sticky. In warm and/or humid weather, it is moisturizing enough on its own. In colder, drier weather, a light application of moisturizer before applying this seems to be working well. So, check #3.

Wow, this product is pretty amazing. I have very pale, very sensitive, combination skin (yay me!) and I have struggled for years to find something that would give me SPF coverage without causing a reaction or breakout. I also want a cruelty free, vegan, and as natural as possible of a product, so options have been limited. To think of the money I have wasted on products that not only didn't deliver what I hoped they would, but also caused more stress and damage to my skin, has made me very cautious of purchasing outside of the products I know work for me. I love Osea Malibu products, but they don't make a face lotion with SPF, or any kind of makeup. While I love Sun Bum for my body, the face lotion with SPF leaves me greasy and has caused some allergic reactions and breakouts. I thought I was doomed to be battling breakouts or worse, stuck in the shade, and then I found this beauty! I have tried so many face lotions with SPF that either caused me to be very greasy and break out or didn't provide enough SPF coverage. This product is like a BB cream, only better. It provides you with amazing matte coverage, and after testing it in direct and very bright sunlight for 30 minutes I can attest that the SPF does indeed provide good protection. And best of all, no breakouts since I started using it about a week ago. I know my skin, and if I did have an issue with this product it would have shown up right away. For those with combination and oily complexions this product should work really well. For those with dryer skin, you might need a more sufficient moisturizer before applying this product. The matte finish is amazing. I tend to get a little greasy in my T-zone, especially my forehead and nose, and this stuff keeps me shine free. This product does have a tint to it, but don't be worried, it's not very pigmented. I was worried the color would be too dark for my pale skin, but it blends in really well. In the morning I wash my face, apply toner, serum or treatments, moisturizer along my cheeks and any dry areas, then this Paula's Choice RESIST matte finish tinted moisturizer and my face looks flawless. I don't like to wear face makeup so this product provides the perfect amount of coverage and if I need to I can apply a little concealer to cover the occasional blemish or any redness. Boom, good to go. The price of this product seems pretty par for the course. I'm not sure I would pay more than $50 for it, but I feel like the $33 price tag was totally worth it. This product isn't super clean, but it's way better than most, and cruelty free! Paula's Choice notes that while their products do not contain animal products, they cannot be labeled vegan because the equipment used to make their products does process other labels that use animal products. So basically they are vegan, but cannot be labeled as such. Dear Paula's choice, please don't stop making this lotion! I am loving what it's doing for my skin :)

I've been using Paula's Choice skincare almost exclusively for around five years. I'm 36, with very oily skin and enlarged pores. The toner and 2% liquid BHA have greatly improved my skin tone and texture, but I've never been able to find a product to wear during the day that will keep my skin matte without exaggerating my pores, plus offer that all important sun protection. I've tried every ultra-matte foundation, mineral foundation, and shine stopping primer under the sun. They would work for a few hours, but before noon I'd be reaching for my ubiquitous oil blotting papers. So when I read the reviews that this offers all day matte finish, I knew I had to try it. I applied in the morning to freshly cleaned and toned skin. It has a bit of beige tint, but I have fair-medium skin and it blended perfectly, but it doesn't really provide as much coverage as a tinted moisturizer, so you might be disappointed if that's what you're looking for. It went on a bit shiny, but dried after a couple minutes. That's when the magic started. I brushed on a little loose translucent powder over after it dried, and my skin looked perfectly matte and flawless, every pore hidden. I was impressed, but the true test for me was to see how long until the oily shine broke through. I couldn't believe it! By noon I was still matte! (Did I mention I have seriously oily skin?) By two o'clock, still matte. By three o'clock, just a bit of shine on top of my nose, but I dabbed lightly with a clean tissue and I looked like I did in the morning. I can't say enough great things about this product. The oil-control by itself is enough to keep using it. It's great by itself with just a little powder, but if you need more coverage, I think this would work great as a primer under foundation. The full spectrum sun protection is a huge bonus too. However, if your skin is on the drier side, or you're looking for a true moisturizer, I don't think this is the right product. I didn't find this to be moisturizing in the least. But if you're like me, and have been searching for something to wear during the day that will stop shine and provide sun protection, either by itself or under makeup, look no further. I may start buying in bulk just because I don't ever want to be without it!

I suffer from oily, OILY skin. It's so bad I have to use a moist rag at home or Chipotle's napkins out in public (I love their napkins, it doesn't leave behind fuzzy clumps and it absorbs the oils better than brands). It doesn't help that I live in North TX where 8 out 12 months the weather is humid, and summers are sweat-inducing hot. To make matters worse, I suffer from hormonal acene (I'm in my mid-20s, so I'm past puberty) and my skin is sensitive. I've spent plenty of money on foundations and matte and moisturizers (for oily skin) and, despite all their claims, by 12 or as early as 11, my face is a melting, shiny mess. I searched online for the best products for all my needs and Paula's Choice was listed. I hadn't realize I got the matte product until I squeezed it out. I was furious with myself because I've had negative experiences with these type of products. For a month I didn't wear it until I ran out of my usual moisturizer and decided to give this a try. By the end of the day I was converted. I've been using it since then. It stays on strong thru all weather and hormonal episodes. It covers my acene scars, the acene itself (but to an extent) without irritating it, dark spots, doesn't exaggerate my pores (you still need to know how to apply it right or risk making your pores more visible) and evens my tone. I still get oily but its bearable and less noticeable and takes longer to develop compared to other foundations I used. My only issuse with it is the skin tone. Despite its claim for being all skin tones, that's a lie. I'm a light-skin Mexicana but my skin isn't pink like the product. And it's obvious against my pale, yellowish chest. But as some suggested, apply makeup on top of it and you'll look good, maybe. I don't use makeup due to lack of time and I've yet to find a foundation that matches my type of light skin. All in all, this product is the holy grail for acene-sufferes and oily-prone skin. I highly recommend for those with dry skin NOT to buy this product.

I purchased this sunscreen because it was said to be great for sensitive skin and not leave a white cast like my other physical sunscreen. First of all let me say I am pretty pale. I am like a 3 in most foundations. This sunscreen definitely leaves a pale cast on my skin. Maybe it isn't white, but it's kinda pale cool pinkish? Anyway, just keep that in mind if you are hoping it will blend in seamlessly to your skin tone. However, it is much less of a cast than my previous white sunscreen, and the formula is also not as thick and sticky. I add a bit of bronzer to warm it up and make it look less pink/pale. The first time I wore this sunscreen I went hiking, and I found my skin was burning and itching. I was lightly sweating. Something in the formula slightly irritates my skin. I have rosacea, the pink flushed kind - no bumps. I definitely felt like a rosacea flare was coming on that first day. Since then I have worn it and not experienced the itching and flush but I am wary. I believe it may have been the combination of the sunscreen with sweating and sunshine that made me itch and burn. But isn't that what sunscreen is for? To wear outside in the sun? So... I dunno. Another thing to add is that you must vigorously mix the lotion before opening the tube. Each time. Otherwise you just get a mess. For me that means shaking it a lot and then massaging the tube to try to mix it up. A pain. My other sunscreen is the same so I guess that's just normal. Still in search of a holy grail physical sunscreen that isn't irritating for the rosacea on my face. I've started wearing foundation as sunscreen and so far it's the best solution. It's the right color match, it is spf 20 and it is using pigments as the sunblock so it is physical sunscreen I guess? It just doesn't last that long out in the sweaty sunshine or work when going in the water. I will not repurchase this product. Foundation works better and this is expensive!
