"My favorite refind in the mineral category has been Colorescience. This is their original Sunforgettable. Love this mineral sunscreen. I had totally forgotten about it and retried it again this year. It is moisturizing. It is a mineral sunscreen, non-irritating and SPF 50."

"This is SPF 50 PA4 pluses and it does have a slight tint. It's one of the few tinted mineral sunscreens that really looks nice on my skin. It blends in beautifully. I had kind of forgotten about it and I decided to retry it this year in search of a tinted mineral sunscreen because I have been so stuck on untinted. This is an all-time favorite, highly recommend. If you're looking for a slightly tinted sunscreen and you don't mind a little bit of glow, you're going to love this."

"I really like Colorescience SPF 50. It's a tinted sunscreen. It's ideally mineral because it's zinc oxide which is anti-inflammatory, and it has to be reef safe with no other irritants in the product."

"Colorescience has become like a BB cream makeup for me. I'm actually wearing it most days over a layer of sunscreen because it looks so good on the skin, but I don't put a full two milligrams per centimeter squared of it on, I use it more for decorative purposes."

"This is a top luxury sunscreen pick of mine, but they are expensive when it is full price. I know you've seen me mention this one in several of my videos over time on my channel. This one has a really good concentration of iron oxides in it, which is going to help give you full spectrum UV protection, and that's especially important for people with hyperpigmentation or melasma. So this is a really good option. They actually have several different types of their Unforgettable line."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
