Farmacy
Green Defense Daily Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30
4 out of 5 stars.
Excessive Dryness
Light
It is rare for a mineral sunscreen to look natural, but this one comes the closest for me. It is easy to rub in and there is no whitecast. Also no oily feeling. If anything it leaves my skin feeling a little dry even on top of moisturizer so I use it for planned sun exposure rather than everyday.

It’s a great mineral sunscreen because this is exactly what dermatologists recommend. Wears nicely under foundation. No white cast. Easy to use.

White cast
It’s a great sunscreen! I just was not a fan of the scent and it does leave the slightest white cast, I could definitely get away with using it in the winter time when I am more fair but not in the summer.

Excessive Dryness
Fair/Light
I’m guessing the old formula was better for dry skin and that’s why people are hating the new formula so much, but for my oily super sensitive skin, it’s absolutely wonderful!! It doesn’t feel heavy or greasy, not drying either just smooth! I didn’t have any issues with pilling like others but I use vanicream moisturizer which I find doesn’t pill with a lot of things. It soothes my skin and has a pretty finish. Definitely recommend for sensitive oily/combo skin and I wish I tried it sooner!

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.

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

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.

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

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.
