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'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 love how well this product is safety sealed. I have read some great reviews about this and decided to give it a try. I have used Australian Gold tinted spf 50 in light shade for a few years now so I posted pictures of the tint shades for comparison. This PC is definitely more of a natural feel as opposed to the AG being very mattifying. I’m a combination dry skin w occasional oil on nose, so I do enjoy the more natural feel. However I still wear a lightweight moisturizer before applying any sunblock. The PC is very pale, even for my fair complexion. I have to apply a little dusting of non shimmering light colored bronzer so I don’t look ill. That’s how pale it is on my face. But if I’m wearing it under foundation that isn’t an issue. It also wears really great under foundation and acts like a primer. I will definitely finish using my tube and may purchase again because I really do love the natural finish, I only wish it didn’t look that pale so on lazy days I could wear it by itself. For reference I usually wear the second to lightest shade of any foundation.

My go to tinted sunscreen . Does not feel heavy or break me out and I have very sensitive mature combination skin. Not greasy at all. Works great!. no need to foundation. Works perfect with my skin tone.

really improved the appearance of my skin, blended beautifully and lasted all day. i have pale complexion that tends to pinkness. not dry or oily.

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!

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.

I have re purchased it many times as I found this product very satisfying. The color is perfect for my skin tone and really love the matt finish. Many tinted sunscreen are too dark and oily for me. My skin looks fine even I put on a thick layer. Recommend to everybody
