Is this recommended for the face? Does it leave a white residue?

It's very thick and very hard to rub in....I would not recommend for face unless you don't mind looking like a mime ;)

It does leave a white residue. I haven't found a zinc sunscreen that doesn't. It does make a great "base" if you wear foundation, though :)

I would not use it on my face for daily use. It definitely leaves a noticeable white residue.

I use it on mine and my son's (9mos) face. It does leave a white residue so I just try to put it on a bit earlier than right before we swim which seems to help the residue soak in and not appear white.

Yes you can color tint it a bit by mixing. I liked it very much. It does leave a residue..I would much rather that physical barrier than being poisoned by the other crap on the market. Joel Fuhrman recommended it so I tried it and it works very well. I did not use it memorial weekend and got burned to a crisp because I was having too much fun working and mowing the grass for my former employer and saying hi to all the families visiting their fallen and surviving (but still transitioned) war heroes. Great people.

There is a slight white tinge to the skin with this but I am so happy to have sunscreen that doesn't make me itch like crazy, I will gladly deal with it. Of course, there are a couple on tinted options of this same brand. I just wanted the simplest option.

I use it on my face and my body multiple times per week. I haven't had any breakouts, and it doesn't have a super-oily appearance. Just don't drown your face with it. You just have to let it sit for 15 minutes or so, and it will settle in. I layer it with moisturizer/lotion. The white coating also fades a bit as it dries.

Hi Cheryl - HA! I didn't know my review on this would still be around. Yes, the date is probably accurate. I will say I still like the product; I can't remember what my comments were ,but my dermatologist recommended it. It does leave a bit of a white film on the skin, but that's the zinc oxide providing protection. Any rate, thank you for the question.

The cream being white can be subtly used to blend out minor red areas (like a red area on your nose) but I use it primarily to cover/halt the beginnings of any minor infected area on the face, as well as cuts and scrapes. It is not meant for concealing blemishes; and comes off easily with perspiration, wiping off etc.

YES - I have rubbed it all over my face, especially my eyes, for many years and have had great results with firmness and moisture. No burning or adverse side effects at all. It makes my skin lubricated and wrinkles smooth away. I apply at night and all day. You cannot see it. No odor or shine or stain. It even acts as a mild sun block (in my experience). Highly recommended.

I did use it on my face. It didn't seem greasy, but since it's white you do have to spend a few minutes to make sure it's rubbed in good.

I don't know for sure, but from my own experience I have some white patches on my skin, and the product doesn't change it, it didn't peel the white patches and it doesn't take the white patches off, but it helped to peel and lighten the dark pigmentation that surround what I'll vitiligo area of my skin.

no, I didn't have any problem, I love it. I am on my second bottle right now. I hope I answered your questions. You might want to scrub your face before using this item.

This is truly a matte formula. Personally, I hated it - it left almost a white/milky residue on my face and it looked horrible. I opted for the non-matte formula. I have combination skin and live in Colorado, so it's pretty dry here - that might be the reason it didn't work for me.

I have tried several of the Skinceutical products and found that they are all quite sheer. In other words they absorb quickly and leave virtually no white residue. Better than most sun screens of this type.

No it does leave white residue! I'm blonde! When I brush it out though you can't see it! Hope this helps!

I usually use it after I cleansed my face w/ hypoallergenic facial creme. Make sure that you wipe w/ alcohol before and after use. There's no instruction on the frequency of the use, but w/ me, when I have a zit, I use it almost every night and its really effective.

Hey Stephanie. Like others, I've used the stone crop gel cleanser for quite some time and have never experienced any "lightening" of my skin. Rather, the cleanser leaves my face feeling wonderfully refreshed and especially smooth. It's non-drying, yet it cleans thoroughly. I LOVE this Eminence product (and others by Eminence -- they're fabulous and make a noticeable difference).

Nope doesn't stain a thing, or leave skin greasy. It does contain alcohol so don't use it on the face. I just use a tiny glob of reg sunscreen for the face.

So far my mother has no issues with it. She uses it sparingly on her face and arms when she is out gardening. No complaints about making anything white though.

Yes! It's gentle and won't irritate your skin. I actually prefer to daily skin cleanser rather than the gentle, but they are both great. Sometimes I use daily to remove makeup, and gentle in the morning. I highly recommend it. I also recommend Vanicream face lotion for acne prone skin.

Yes. I don't put it on my face every time. But it gives great color and is not harmful. Have purchased this several times.
