Who It's For

Great daily sunscreen (not for sports, water etc.) for those who want the extra zinc especially for melasma or other pigment problem. Works well for all but the darkest skin types - could be a little chalky here but you can put makeup over it.

Dr. Irwin's Product Review

Still one of my favorites. Note that this is now called SheerZinc. New name, but the same excellent product. No other sunscreen has 18% zinc and goes on this well that I’ve ever seen. This is the tinted version which some like better because it gives a bit of sunkissed look.

Note that we carry the tinted version called "Nude," which has the least amount of dark tint. If you want a darker shade, you can order "Tan" or "Sunkissed" through another site. We do carry the non-tinted version also here on SkinTour.

Great for melasma and anyone with pigment problems due to the 18% zinc. This is a physical (mineral) sunscreen, meaning that it contains no sunscreen chemicals. Excellent also for sensitive skin. Expensive, but worth it for the extra protection.

How to Use

Apply sunblock in the AM to fingertips and gently massage into the skin. Reapply as needed.
