Australian Gold Botanical SPF 50 Tinted Face Sunscreen, Non-Chemical BB Cream, Water-Resistant, Matte Finish, Sensitive Skin, 3 FL Oz

I used other brands but they weren’t as good as Australian Gold. I will be ordering again

Have made a mistake in ordered a darker shade but since its summer totally workable. Matt finished and non greasy. However it does transfer on clothes. Tissue. Mask. (Everywhere). But i liked that i dont have to put on foundation, i use this instead. Will repurchase in lighter shade.

Smells lovely and effective but leave a white film over the face

Hard to blend and I looked like a ghost when I applied

It leaves marks everywhere!!

Product isn’t terrible, does come out a lot more orange than expected but still blends into the skin atleast. Very low coverage and mostly just “brightens” the skin abit. If you have flawless glass skin and no skin concerns then I would recommend this product. I won’t be purchasing again.

Very difficult to blend with skin

I buy tons of tinted sunscreens to clear the skin tone without heavy coverage: Elta MD, la rosh pose, aven , skinsuitical and others. All of them make my oily skin feel wet and greasy. But Australian Gold Botanical is an amazing one. At first it feels like the others but once it dries out it makes the skin matt through out the day. If i cover it with any transparent powder i don’t even use a mattifying tissues on the sun that never happened before. The light warm coverage is enough if build 2 layers. It protects the skin, it has benefits for skin, it’s matt-that is all I need in a sunny day.

This stuff is just the best! My kiddo has super sensitive skin, and so do I. This sunscreen is non-irritating and stays on better than any other brand I’ve tried. It’s expensive, but worth it. I have never burned through it, and as a pale redhead, that’s saying something. Lasts longer than chemical sunscreens, and absorbs better than other brands of mineral sunscreen I’ve tried. I look less like a ghost with this brand, and my skin is protected. Literally the best sunscreen I’ve ever used, and I’ll keep on buying it as long as they keep making it.

Helpful to prevent sunburn.

This is a great product for people with light warm skin tone. I don’t think it would work for fair skin, as it borders on being a touch too dark for me, but it’s fine with a very light powder over the top to lighten it up a touch (see attached pics). I have incredibly oily skin and I found this to be neither dewy nor drying. It was a nice in between with a more natural satin finish. (and it is the perfect texture once I add a touch of setting powder). Although it is matte, it isn’t drying at all. If you have dry skin, I would definitely add a moisturizer underneath. It did take a few minutes to fully dry down. I’ve not tried this under liquid foundation, so I’m not sure how it would do underneath. I do wear a translucent setting powder over it, which sets it perfectly. It provides just a touch of coverage - a “your skin but better” look and It stays put even after mild sweating. I have tried numerous (at least 20) other tinted sunscreens and BB creams w/ spf over the past few years (including several viral ones) but this has been my fave. I also have moderate acne. I’ve only been using this about a week, but so far it hasn’t triggered any breakouts I’ll update this review if it does. I have attached a few pictures wearing the Austrian Gold Matte in the light shade. . I think it is obvious in the pics that my face is a touch darker than my neck, but it’s always like that unless I use a shade that is really too pale for me.

This is a great mineral sunblock. For those who are not familiar with this type of sunscreen - because it is mineral based - zinc oxide and titanium dioxide - it will sit on top of the skin, rather than 'soak in' as the chemical based ones do. Yes it goes on white and takes some 'rubbing in' and then letting it set for a few moments to dry down. I personally love mineral sunscreens for the precise reasons I don't care for the chemical based ones - they do not have the distinctive sunscreen odor and they normally don't irritate the skin, especially around the eyes. The Australian Gold brand has been my go to for years. I normally like the tinted version, as it does not leave any white cast and does offer a smoothing effect to my face. However, the tinted version in "Light" has been harder and harder to come by, so I decided to try the "Medium Tint" which was waaay to dark for my light skin. So I wondered what would happen if I mixed the Medium Tint with this No Tint (white) and YAY! I've been mixing about half and half each and works beautifully. I will say that the this non-tinted version is a little more moist or emollient than the tinted version, making it a little longer to dry back, but it's not an issue for me. I use this over my entire face, neck and chest. Sometimes I will use a little loose powder on a fluffy brush if it still feels a little tacky after finishing my makeup. Since using these sunscreens, I have no need to use a cream or liquid foundation on my 57yo face. They leave a smooth matte finish and on the days I feel like a little more coverage, I'll brush on a little powder foundation in those areas.

I really loved it. I do always waiting for the price to become low so that I can purchase again😁
