What the gurus are saying

The 22.75% zinc oxide formula is exceptionally thick, which keeps it from sliding into the eyes during application but feels noticeably heavy on skin. Gurus split on whether that tradeoff is worthwhile: the eye-safe application appealed to some, while others found the overall weight not worth the benefit. Anyone who gravitates toward lighter formulas may want to sample this first.

"So this is kind of interesting because ultraviolet is being withdrawn globally as far as I understand. So in the US the product is Velvet Screen. So if you're using that don't use it. There's also a whole list of other brands that have used the same base formulas which is going to be an issue as well. [...] They're a sunscreen company that doesn't make their own sunscreen, and they upcharged a huge amount compared to some of these other brands."

"It says that it's super soothing when it feels a little gritty. It's got some thickness and a teeny tinge of grittiness to it, and it didn't even look mattifying to me. It looked more like it had a natural finish. So this is a no for me."
✕Mixed
"This whole video I'm applying the Velvet Screen that we have over here in America. [...] It's a 22.75% zinc oxide formula, that's a lot of zinc oxide, and I thought it was okay. What I actually like about this kind of formula is that because it is so thick I feel like it doesn't get in my eyes, but it does also feel really thick."
✕Nay
"It feels pretty thick going on, but not wet or greasy. It feels more dryish, and it spreads easily. Even though it's thick, it feels lightweight on the skin, and the tint hides any white cast, but doesn't color the skin or even out the skin tone. The finish is velvety, but not a flat matte. It looked okay, but it settled into wrinkles right away everywhere, including neck wrinkles. So, as a standalone sunscreen, I gave it a two out of five."
