Farmacy
Green Defense Daily Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30
5 out of 5 stars.
Excessive Dryness
Fair
I have incredibly reactive/sensitive acne prone dry skin. Over the past few months I went though like 10 sunblocks searching for one that didn’t break me out— this was it. I am devoted to this sunblock. I love that it is a physical zinc based sunblock. I am alabaster so I can not speak to a white cast. One downside is it that it definitely has a mattifying effect. But since it’s the only one that doesn’t break me out I truly do not care and will throw the RMS living balm on top.

Enlarged Pores
Fair
I have tried sooooooo many sunscreens and all never live up to their “non greasy” standards and boy does this one NOT LIE! It makes my skin feel so soft, doesn’t clog my Enlarged Pores and it doesn’t break up my makeup! This is my holy grail spf and I’m obsessed with how perfect it is.

Sun Damage
Light
I have used and try a lot of sun screens. This green defense sunscreen SPF 30 is one of my favorites. It is light weight, absorbs into the skin fast and easy. I usually reapply through out the day since I have quite a bit of freckles from not applying sunscreen when I was younger!

Enlarged Pores
Fair/Light
I have very fair, sensitive, dehydrated and cystic acneic skin, and this is by far the best sunscreen I've ever used. I have never had an issue with it - no white cast, no weird smells, no stinging or burning, no pilling, no pore clogging. It layers beautifully over my other skincare and under my makeup. I can even apply it right under my eyes, as I do moisturizer, and it has never irritated them or messed with my contacts. I find it works best under makeup when I mix well with a little glob of primer, and then apply - just make sure you still use the same amount you regularly use to safely prevent against sun damage.

Breakouts/Acne
Light
I have very sensitive and acne prone skin so I have tried countless mineral sunscreens. This one is my favorite. Smooths out easily, feels hydrating instead of being super matte. It doesn’t leave a white cast, but I also have fair skin so I’m not sure that would be the case on darker skin tones. Doesn’t make my skin flake off and it sits well under makeup. I’ve even noticed that it clears up my acne when I wear it consistently. Highly recommend!

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.
