BLUE LIZARD Face Mineral-Based Sunscreen with Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid SPF 30+ UVA/UVB Protection, 5 Ounce

I have rosacea on my face. I've tried some other products for this condition (there's nothing really made that cures this problem) without any positive results.The #1 trigger for rosacea is sunlight. I realized that the left side of my face had more of a problem than the right side. Then it occurred to me that the left side of my face gets more sunlight exposure when driving than the right side does. Maybe if I could mitigate the effects of sunlight, it might mitigate my rosacea problem.This sunscreen was recommended by others and it makes sense that during a normal day my face gets a lot of sunlight. I don't have to be out by the pool or at the beach to get a lot of sun on my face. So the idea that a daily application of a sunscreen with all natural ingredients to protect my face from this major rosacea trigger made sense to me and I bought a bottle. Again, I don't consider this a cure, but a preventative application.It's now been one week since I began a daily morning application of the product. My rosacea has been noticeably diminished. I think I've found a solution to my problem.I use the product sparingly. It's a thick white liquid. And I work that into my skin. Initially, it leaves my skin a little white-ish and shiny, but that quickly fades and a natural looks remains.I believe what I'm finding is that rosacea is fading due to the fact that I'm protecting my skin from the continual damage caused by sun exposure. (Oh, my office gets full sun every afternoon and the left side of my face faces the windows.)I will update this post after more time has past, but in just one week, I'm already feeling very good about Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen SPF 30+, 5-ounce.I hope this information will help others like me.

Pros: - Fragrance free - less chance of skin irritation - Has zinc oxide - good for both UVA and UVB protection. - Less expensive than other sunscreens with zinc oxide - Moisturizing - Seems to stay on well even with a little sweating - Bottle is cute - it is fun how the bottle turns blue in UV lightCons: - If you’re vegan, this does have beeswax. As of August 2018, The FAQ section on the Blue Lizard site claims their sunscreens contain no animal-derived products. Although some people might consider beeswax not animal-derived because it’s not literally made of dead bees, I still think that claim on their site is a bit misleading. - Can give a bit of a white cast. If you really rub it in, the cast isn’t that noticeable at all. However, I have pale skin. Not sure this sunscreen would work that well for dark skin tones…- Technically NOT water-resistant ( though NO sunscreen is completely waterproof as far as I know) . If you are gonna be outside basically all day, doing active outdoorsy things, or being in the water, you’d probably want to get another sunscreen just to be on the safe side. However, it does seem to stay on well with some sweating anyways so if you’re not going to be sweating too much or around water that much, this should work fine.- No added fragrance, but there is a slight sunscreen-y smell. Not a bad smell necessarily, but not super pleasant either.It was what I expected it to be when I ordered this so I would recommend this. Just make sure you read the cons I listed above because it’s not for everyone or for all situations.

I've used four varieties of Blue Lizard -- Baby, Sensitive, Face, and Sport -- and I've posted the same review for each one. Baby and Sensitive are virtually identical. Face feels more dry, and doesn't leave your skin shiny. Sport seems to go on a little easier, but also has more potentially irritating chemicals than Sensitive or Baby (or so I'm told).Here is the bottom line: Each version of Blue Lizard that I have tried will last through a 4+ hours of golf in direct midday sun, even when I'm perspiring heavily, and I'll go home with NO redness or burning whatsoever. (FYI, I am very light skinned and do develop a tan, but burn VERY easily, in 15 min. or less. I also perspire a lot, especially in the heat and humidity around the Washington D.C. metro area, where we live.) A little goes a long way, and if you take a few minutes to work it in, it stays put pretty well and doesn't run into your eyes.It isn't the easiest to put on, and it takes some soap and water to get it off, but until they change the formula is some significant way, Blue Lizard is head and shoulders above all the other major-brand sunscreens that I've tried -- and I've tried a lot. It's also nice that the Baby and Sensitive versions get high marks for their lack of toxic chemicals, and we've used them on babies and toddlers with sensitive skin, and never had any problems, either with burning or reaction to the sunscreen. Strongly recommended.

Great if you have oily skin like me!Remember to shake it before using, and let it dry for about 10-15 minutes after aplication.I usualy moisturise my face, let it absorb a bit, and then apply the sunscreen so that the moistrusirer doesnt dilute the suncreen.I've got greasy skin so this works well for me. It does leave a slightly white, dry finish, but that works for me personally as it covers the redness in my face a bit.Doesn't irritate my rosacea either which is a bonus.Not sure if this works well on dry skin.

Live in a hot country and need to wear high factor suncreen everyday that wont sweat and sting my eyes. Tried many facial suncreens that sting like crazy, this stuff really works, non greasy and works well under make up

There was a mix up on my order. I ordered the FACE sunscreen and received the BABY sunscreen. None the less, the white cast left behind is horrifying.

I have yet to use my sun screen as a sun screen, I have tried it to check if I would have a reaction to it as I have very sensitive skin. So pleased to say no reaction. Would recommend it to everyone.

This product is the best moisturizer I have used since I was diagnosed with Rosacea. My face is best for about 9 years also using Blue Lizard sun block. I found this product recomended by dermatologist on american rosacea site
