Lean Screen SPF50+ - Mineral Mattifying Fragrance Free Skinscreen

Drying

Very drying on the skin and pills. Not elegant at all!

love it, rubbish pump and container

I have looked for years for a mineral sunscreen that is spf 50 that does not make you look like you have painted your face white. This is great, very moisturising, even covers a teeny tiny bit, well evens out the skin tone a bit. It is expensive which is upsetting but it does last. Sadly the tube and pump are awful. you spend hours trying to get it to work for the first time. I did read that you need to smooth the tube down and then try it, I did that and the end exploded on me and 1/4 of the product went everywhere :D but at least the pump works now!! :D they need to sort the pump and tube out but other than that perfect.

Fantastic SPF

I love this! I have struggled to find a mineral SPF that is cruelty free, but this is by far the best. Used it when sitting out in the sun (did top up with a face mist spf50 too) and stupidly burnt my shoulders, but my face was unscathed. No cast either. Highly recommended

Almost perfect mineral physical tinted SPF.

I'm on my third tube, so I know this stuff well. I like it because it is thick and hydrating, very effective (I've used it on sunny hikes without sunburn or sweating it off), and doesn't burn the eyes or run into my eyes throughout the day. My biggest criticism is that the tube and marketing are ridiculously bad for this product. It is the opposite of matte - its hydrating and dewy/shiny. The tube also sucks and tends to leak out a bit around the pump at the end, but I just wipe that off and use it too so not a big deal. I can use like 3 pumps and slather this up and get great protection but it still looks good without any white cast or texture (I have fair skin). This product makes a great primer for concealer and foundation as it is a tad sticky. My favourite way to use it is with a setting powder so it reduces the shine, stick, and locks in the SPF and this will last all day and look good. On really sunny days I even layer another SPF (bare minerals complexion rescue physical spf 30) on top and then set lighty with my favourite powder or a powder foundation for extra coverage and this works great. I'm sensitive to chemical SPF (get a rash) and I dislike how drying and white-looking most physical SPF are, but this one really does work. It's a shame they market it so weirdly because it isn't a mattifying anything... Its a beautiful tinted SPF primer that is best layered under other products. I also use this on top of my serums and it doesn't pill at all. I rub it in with fingertips. I've tried all of UV's SPFs and this is my favourite for the reasons stated. I have dry and sensitive skin, acne prone (hormonal), 32 yrs old, and this is good for me!
