Lean Screen SPF50+ - Mineral Mattifying Fragrance Free Skinscreen

The best sun screen I've tried!

Having been on a mission to find a sunscreen that isn't 1) shiny 2) greasy 3) eye stinging 4) gonna make me look like a ghost, THIS IS THE ONE. Shame about the price, but it ticks all the boxes. It looks kind of like foundation which worried me at first, but it melts into the skin and is practically like wearing nothing. It's a bit drying, so bear that in mind if you're already on the dry side, but for oily skin or people who don't wanna look shiny it's perfection!

Love it

Love it so much, I have to disagree with some reviews saying it’s hard to rub in/ too thick. It’s not the thinnest consistency I agree but it does spread on skin well and I feel like my skin is hydrated without that heavy or greasy feeling. It’s not super mattifying (I still have a little glow after) which I prefer. The tint is perfect to hide any white cast without any noticeable coverage or tan. I wouldn’t have minded a shade darker to even out my skin tone a bit more but it’s not a deal breaker. Overall if it was less expensive I would use it everyday. I save it for days out when I want to avoid the slight white cast my cheaper spf gives me.

Great for sensitive acne prone combo skin!

I've been using this sunscreen for well over a year and love it! I was struggling to find a foundation that didnt break me out or cause irritation and I was SO happy when I found this brand. I've never had a problem with this product and it doesn't cause me breakouts and I feel like it actually helps keep my combo oil skin at bay. I get way oilier without it.. The one thing I noticed in the reviews was the packaging and I only noticed the issue on my first tube and only once I got to the very end of the product and since then I have had no issues, my tube is mostly always laying down so I wonder if this could help? I love love love this product and will continue to use it for as long as its sold! I couldnt recommend it more if you struggle with breakouts. Ive struggled with Titanium Dioxide (causes irritation/breakouts for me) in many products in the past and find it incredibly hard to find products especially sunscreen without this ingredient. this particular product doesn't contain TD and I think this could pay a major part in why it works so well for me.

Υπέροχο mineral matte αντηλιακό!!!

Πάρα πολύ ωραία σύνθεση, mineral που είναι ό,τι πρέπει και για την εγκυμοσύνη, με matte αποτέλεσμα σε απαλή μπεζ απόχρωση που γίνεται ένα με το δέρμα, θα μπορουσε να χρησιμοποιηθει και ως primer αφού κάνει ένα blurry effect, ιδανικό για πριν απο την εφαρμογή foundation ή πούδρας, ενώ μπορεί να φορεθεί και μονο του για ένα πιο φυσικό αποτέλεσμα!!!

Drying

Very drying on the skin and pills. Not elegant at all!

love it, rubbish pump and container

I have looked for years for a mineral sunscreen that is spf 50 that does not make you look like you have painted your face white. This is great, very moisturising, even covers a teeny tiny bit, well evens out the skin tone a bit. It is expensive which is upsetting but it does last. Sadly the tube and pump are awful. you spend hours trying to get it to work for the first time. I did read that you need to smooth the tube down and then try it, I did that and the end exploded on me and 1/4 of the product went everywhere :D but at least the pump works now!! :D they need to sort the pump and tube out but other than that perfect.

Fantastic SPF

I love this! I have struggled to find a mineral SPF that is cruelty free, but this is by far the best. Used it when sitting out in the sun (did top up with a face mist spf50 too) and stupidly burnt my shoulders, but my face was unscathed. No cast either. Highly recommended

Almost perfect mineral physical tinted SPF.

I'm on my third tube, so I know this stuff well. I like it because it is thick and hydrating, very effective (I've used it on sunny hikes without sunburn or sweating it off), and doesn't burn the eyes or run into my eyes throughout the day. My biggest criticism is that the tube and marketing are ridiculously bad for this product. It is the opposite of matte - its hydrating and dewy/shiny. The tube also sucks and tends to leak out a bit around the pump at the end, but I just wipe that off and use it too so not a big deal. I can use like 3 pumps and slather this up and get great protection but it still looks good without any white cast or texture (I have fair skin). This product makes a great primer for concealer and foundation as it is a tad sticky. My favourite way to use it is with a setting powder so it reduces the shine, stick, and locks in the SPF and this will last all day and look good. On really sunny days I even layer another SPF (bare minerals complexion rescue physical spf 30) on top and then set lighty with my favourite powder or a powder foundation for extra coverage and this works great. I'm sensitive to chemical SPF (get a rash) and I dislike how drying and white-looking most physical SPF are, but this one really does work. It's a shame they market it so weirdly because it isn't a mattifying anything... Its a beautiful tinted SPF primer that is best layered under other products. I also use this on top of my serums and it doesn't pill at all. I rub it in with fingertips. I've tried all of UV's SPFs and this is my favourite for the reasons stated. I have dry and sensitive skin, acne prone (hormonal), 32 yrs old, and this is good for me!
