Farmacy

Green Defense Daily Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30

5 out of 5 stars.

Enlarged Pores

Light

This is my go-to sunscreen for regular every day use. My skin breaks out if I go in the sun without sunscreen. I was looking for a clean sunscreen with a good texture that works with the rest of my skincare routine, and this is it. I use it with the Origins Mega-Mushroom Soothing Treatment Lotion, Drunk Elephant’s Lala Cream moisturizer, High Beauty’s facial oil, and Sunday Riley’s UFO oil. When I’m out in the sun for a long time or doing sports I wear a baseball cap and/or use a higher SPF cream, but this is great for every day. I tried Drunk Elephant’s sunscreen for awhile which had more of a matte finish and was also excellent, but I felt like it clogged my Enlarged Pores/dried my skin when I used it every day.

White cast

Tan

This is my third tube of this stuff. It blends well with my foundation and never dries down my skin, I dare to say it kind of moisturizes it a bit? Maybe is just me *shrug*. It DOES leave a white cast but I truly don’t mind because as a person of color I have come to accept that most mineral sunscreen leave a white/greyish cast. I also like that is not heavily scented like most sunscreen on the market.

Breakouts/Acne

Fair

This is one of the best mineral sunscreens I have ever used. It leaves very minimal white cast, is not oily (that is typically an experience I have with mineral sunscreens), and smells nice. I completely recommend for anyone with oily or combination skin (especially if acne prone). It sits well under makeup or without.

Breakouts/Acne

Fair

This is the only 'clean' spf that does not cause those under the skin white pimples on my face. There is no fragrance add, does not smell strong, absorbs quickly, does not leave a film. I am very red/fair so I can not speak about a white cast. Overall I will continue to repurchase. I am done trying out new spfs!

Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Light

This is the only sunscreen I’ve ever found to be completely unscented! It’s small and expensive but totally worth it for that reason. A little bit goes a long way, and it feels like a normal moisturizer. Def recommend for ppl who don’t like sunscreen but don’t want to age from the sun!!

Enlarged Pores

Fair

This mineral sunscreen is awesome. It goes on smoothly and soaks right into the skin. The white cast fades within minutes of rubbing it in. It does not clog my Enlarged Pores or feel greasy. I would recommend it but my only issue is, I wish it was a bigger bottle for the price point.

White cast

Medium/Tan

I am very disappointed with this mineral sunscreen. It does leave a white cast on my face. I don’t recommend it for skin of color.

White cast

Llight/Medium

I bought this thinking that it would not have any white cast, but it does on my skin tone, and a little heavy for my liking but it does the job, will not be repurchasing though

White cast

Fair

I have maturing, dry-normal skin with redness from tretinoin. I wear sunscreen every day, and haven't had issues with chemical ones though I like the idea of using something more gentle and mineral based. Zinc is a white mineral, so it's nearly impossible to not have white-cast with a zinc based product unless it's tinted....it's the fundamental physical properties of the ingredient. So yes, this lotion for sure leaves a white cast (even on my fair-pale skin), and because it's a physical barrier it also is heavier than chemical sunscreens BUT it is not nearly as heavy as some I've tried. It's also pleasantly moisturizing, but I think those with more oily skin might dislike it. MAKE SURE TO LET IT SET!! There is a dry-down change, but it took over 10mins for me to really see a difference, and I live in a moderately dry climate. I tried mixing it 50/50 with some foundation (how I often use foundations) and that helps with the white cast a bit, but that decreases the SPF of course. Haven't tested it in sun, but if I knew I was going to be outdoors in the sun for the day, I'd use something SPF 50 or higher. I wish they'd release a tinted version - light, med and dark tints, so it would eliminate the white cast and be inclusive.

Breakouts/Acne

Fair

I have never broken out using a product until now. This broke me out. Don’t use if you have acne. Should’ve checked CosDNA before purchasing, it had pore clogging ingredients

Breakouts/Acne

Fair

I wanted to love this because I love Farmacy and it has clean ingredients (unlike many SPFs), however, I found it to be chalky and drying and it made my face break out. I am not acne-prone and have never had acne issues. This not only made my face incredibly dry, but also I suddenly had a major breakout. Also, I'm pale, but it definitely still has a white cast. According to other reviewers, this is a new formula that's not as good, and while I haven't tried the original, I have to agree that this formula is not good and I'll be returning the product.
