"This is one of my favorites. I alternate between this one and the Summer Fridays. This is the Outset Hydra Sheer 100% mineral sunscreen. And it is so good and it works great underneath makeup."

"I love this stuff."

The BEST Beauty Products from August 😍

"The thing I love about this is the texture. It's so nice. It wears well underneath makeup. Wears great layered on top of other moisturizers. It is all mineral, which I personally prefer. It shears out really nicely. I personally don't get any sort of white cast or anything like that. But it is such a beautiful texture. It absorbs into the skin. It just leaves a nice finish. It's not too greasy feeling, which I love. And it has a very watery texture, so blends out seamlessly."

"Kind of takes that extra step to make sure that you're not having a really sunny day, you're not going to be out for extended time because reapplying this is not easy. [...] On my skin, it blends down into basically nothing, completely sheer. I do have something I need to talk to the company about because the last few squirts, [...] it feels gritty like the mineral, the zinc may have settled. So the last application of this was not the experience that I had with the first."

"This is the one by the Outset. [...] It goes on white, but once we let it dry down, it will not be white. And this is 30 SPF, but because it looks so nice under makeup, I use it on those days that I'm just doing a no makeup routine. It also goes great over the eyes. No burning, no stinging, and that's really important because I've had such bad allergies."

"My go-to as a daily sunscreen has also been the Outset Hydra Sheer 100% Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30. If it's one of those days, I know I'm going to be outside a little bit longer, I layer an SPF 50 on my way out the door. After my skincare routine, I give my SPF about 20 minutes to dry down before I start my makeup."

"I have been loving the Outset all summer long. This is their mineral sunscreen SPF 30 which is perfect for fall. I have been using it in the summer on and off during those days when I'm not out and about very much. But I love this. It won my award for my untinted favorite sunscreen this summer. [...] It goes on a little bit on the white side. But once it dries down, that white cast completely disappears on my fair skin. Loving this mineral sunscreen, and it's one of my new go-tos."
