Face Reality Mineral Matte SPF 28 is a lightweight, broad-spectrum mineral sunscreen built for skin that breaks out or flares up easily. Zinc oxide (11.6%) and titanium dioxide (0.67%) sit on the surface of skin to physically deflect UVA and UVB rays without clogging pores or triggering irritation. The formula dries to a true matte finish and blends into most skin tones with minimal white cast.
Key Benefits
Broad-Spectrum Mineral Protection Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide create a physical shield against both UVA and UVB damage, making this an ideal daily sunscreen for acne-prone and reactive skin.
Matte, Non-Greasy Finish A lightweight base of coco-caprylate/caprate and squalane hydrates without adding shine, so skin stays comfortable and matte throughout the day.
Calms Redness and Irritation Honeysuckle flower extract and allantoin work together to reduce inflammation and support healthy cell turnover, which is especially helpful for skin dealing with rosacea, eczema, or post-breakout sensitivity.
Hydrates Without Clogging Pores Glycerin, aloe barbadensis leaf juice, and squalane deliver moisture that absorbs quickly, keeping skin balanced rather than greasy or congested.
Preservative System Designed for Sensitive Skin Gluconolactone and leuconostoc/radish root ferment filtrate provide gentle preservation while supporting the skin barrier, keeping the formula free of parabens and harsh synthetic preservatives.
If your skin is oily, acne-prone, or easily irritated, this is the mineral SPF you can actually wear every day without worrying about breakouts or added shine. The matte finish and non-comedogenic formula make it a reliable last step in any acne-focused routine.
It is also well suited for anyone managing rosacea or eczema who needs sun protection that calms rather than aggravates. Because the formula relies on physical filters rather than chemical ones, it is gentle enough for highly reactive skin.
If you have been avoiding sunscreen because every one you try leaves a heavy white cast or feels greasy, Face Reality Mineral Matte SPF 28 blends smoothly into most skin tones and dries down without residue.
If you struggle with midday shine, let this SPF set for about 60 seconds before touching your face. The matte finish locks in better when it has a moment to dry down, and you will find it wears longer under makeup or on its own throughout the day.
Apply: Smooth a generous amount over the entire face and neck as the last step of your morning skincare routine, after cleansing, toning, and moisturizing.
Reapply: Every 2 hours during sun exposure, or immediately after sweating or toweling off. This sunscreen is not waterproof.
Technique: Use your fingertips to press and blend the formula into skin rather than rubbing, which helps it set evenly and reduces any chance of a white cast.
Active Ingredents: 11.6% Zinc Oxide, 0.67% Titanium DioxideInactive Ingredients: Aqua (Water), Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetearyl Glucoside, Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, Polysorbate 60, Glycerin, Squalane, Glyceryl Isostearate, Dicaprylyl Ether, Isononyl Isononanoate, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, 1,2-Hexanediol, Citric Acid, Caprylyl Glycol, Polyglyceryl-6 Polyricinoleate, Xanthan Gum, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, Populus Tremuloides Bark Extract, Alumina, Gluconolactone, Potassium Sorbate, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder*, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate, Lonicera Caprifolium (Honeysuckle) Flower Extract, Lonicera Japonica (Honeysuckle) Flower Extract, Fructooligosaccharides (D-beta), Allantoin, Simethicone, Tocopherol (D-alpha), Tropolone
Is Face Reality Mineral Matte SPF 28 safe for acne-prone skin?
Yes. The formula uses zinc oxide and titanium dioxide as physical UV filters, which are non-comedogenic and well tolerated by breakout-prone skin. Anti-inflammatory ingredients like honeysuckle flower extract and allantoin also help calm active irritation rather than making it worse.
Will Face Reality Mineral Matte SPF 28 leave a white cast?
It leaves minimal white cast and blends into most skin tones when applied with fingertips using a pressing and patting motion. Allowing it to set for about a minute after application also helps it blend seamlessly.
Can I wear makeup over Face Reality Mineral Matte SPF 28?
Absolutely. The matte finish creates a smooth, non-greasy base that works well under foundation, tinted moisturizer, or powder. Just give it a minute to fully set before applying makeup on top.
Is Face Reality Mineral Matte SPF 28 a chemical or mineral sunscreen?
It is a 100% mineral sunscreen. The active ingredients, zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, are physical filters that sit on top of the skin and reflect UV rays. There are no chemical UV absorbers in the formula.
Does Face Reality Mineral Matte SPF 28 contain fragrance or parabens?
No. The formula is fragrance-free and paraben-free. Its preservation system relies on gluconolactone and radish root ferment filtrate, which are gentle alternatives suited for sensitive and reactive skin.
Can I use Face Reality Mineral Matte SPF 28 if I have rosacea?
Yes, and it is actually a strong choice for rosacea-prone skin. Mineral filters are less likely to trigger flushing than chemical sunscreens, and the honeysuckle flower extract and allantoin in the formula actively work to soothe redness and inflammation.
How often should I reapply Face Reality Mineral Matte SPF 28?
Reapply every 2 hours during sun exposure. Because this sunscreen is not waterproof, you should also reapply after sweating or towel-drying. Consistent reapplication is the most important factor in effective sun protection.

I’ve been really impressed with this SPF. It works well for my oily skin and doesn’t leave a greasy feeling like other sunscreens I’ve tried. The tinted finish is a nice bonus and helps even out my skin tone a bit. It feels lightweight and comfortable enough to wear every day.
Perfect sunscreen for oily complexion. Not greasy and keeps my skin hydrated.
I have tried so many sunscreens, this is the only one that doesn’t break me out! Stays nice and matte, no cast after you rub it in. Most importantly - no breakouts!
I use this spf daily for indoor work days. My face ends up rather dry and eyes itchy depending on how I apply. It works better when I really avoid the eyes and use a couple layers of moisturizer underneath. Has a minor white cast but a touch of blush fixes this. Great for oil control in my opinion if that applies to anyone. Not five stars just because I prefer the spf 50 formulation from face reality.
As far as sunscreen goes, I love this one. It doesn’t leave me feeling greasy or irritated. This sunscreen almost feels like it has a calming effect for my sensitive skin, and helps reduce redness. It doesn’t leave me shiny, and doesn’t bother my eyes which is a huge bonus!
