What the gurus are saying

This mineral sunscreen earns consistent praise for blending in seamlessly without the white cast typical of mineral formulas. Dermatologists and experts highlight the iron oxides for targeting melasma and hyperpigmentation, the added niacinamide, and the broad protective promise against blue light and environmental stressors through its EnvioScreen technology. It's water-resistant, oil-free, and available in tinted options to match different skin tones, making it accessible for most people.

    "My next recommendation here is the Colorescience Unforgettable Total Protection Face Shield SPF 50. This one's really cool because it has iron oxides, which will help block visible light, which is essential for preventing melasma and hyperpigmentation. It is also water resistant, so it's good for long-wearing, making it great for daily and outdoor use. It comes in multiple tints so you can skip foundation while getting full sun protection."

    Hyperpigmentation Morning Skincare Routine with Hydroquinone | Dr. Sam Ellis
    "I want a full sunscreen application with this alone. [...] This happens to be an all mineral sunscreen, but I don't think if you have hyperpigmentation or melasma you need to use a mineral sunscreen. I feel like that is such a false claim that's made out there. You can use a chemical sunscreen if it works better for your skin. [...] Initially it looks like it's going to have a white cast but none on my skin. I think it's gorgeous. That is like a full layer of sunscreen."

    "My number one recommendation for a sunscreen is Color Science Unforgettable Total Protection Face Shield SPF 50. The unique thing about this sunscreen is it's claimed to go beyond just UVA and UVB protection and additionally protect against blue light, but also it gives environmental protection from pollution and infrared radiation due to their patented EnviroScreen technology. This sunscreen has niacinamide in it, which is one of my favorite skincare ingredients."
