Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Matte SPF 50 is a lightweight mineral sunscreen built for skin that tends toward shine, enlarged pores, and breakouts. Powered by 12% zinc oxide and Colorescience's proprietary EnviroScreen® technology, it delivers broad-spectrum UVA/UVB defense along with protection from blue light, infrared radiation, and airborne pollution. Iron oxides provide a sheer, universal tint that blends easily into most skin tones while leaving a true matte finish.

Key Benefits

Oil-Free, Shine-Free Wear Dimethicone crosspolymers and silica-based microspheres absorb excess oil throughout the day, keeping the skin matte without a chalky or heavy feel.

Pore-Blurring Smoothness Polymethylsilsesquioxane and silica crosspolymer create a soft-focus effect that visually minimizes the appearance of pores on contact.

Full-Spectrum Environmental Defense EnviroScreen® technology combines 12% zinc oxide with iron oxides and potent antioxidants like niacinamide, bisabolol, and sunflower sprout extract to shield skin from UVA/UVB rays, high-energy visible (blue) light, pollution, and infrared radiation.

Calming, Barrier-Supportive Ingredients Niacinamide, allantoin, and tremella fuciformis (silver ear mushroom) extract help soothe irritation, support the moisture barrier, and maintain hydration beneath the matte finish.

Water and Sweat Resistant Formulated to hold up for 40 minutes of water or sweat exposure, making it a reliable choice for active days or humid climates.

If your skin is oily, combination, or prone to breakouts, this is the mineral SPF that won't add shine or clog pores. It's specifically designed to mattify, blur, and protect without the greasy residue many sunscreens leave behind.

It's also a strong fit if you spend extended hours in front of screens or in urban environments and want protection that goes beyond UV, covering blue light, pollution, and infrared exposure. The sheer tint works well on medium to deep skin tones and eliminates the white cast common with zinc oxide formulas.

If you have combination skin that's only oily through the T-zone, apply this matte formula just to the forehead, nose, and chin, then use a non-mattifying mineral SPF on the drier areas of your cheeks. This keeps everything protected without over-drying the areas that don't need oil control.

Prepare: Shake well before each use. Apply as the final step in your morning skincare routine, after cleansing, toning, and moisturizing.

Apply: Dispense a nickel-sized amount and smooth evenly over the face and neck, blending into the skin until the tint disappears.

Frequency: Reapply every 2 hours during sun exposure, or immediately after swimming, sweating, or towel drying.
