This year I've been exploring the Dermaquest skincare line and the ZinClear SPF 30 sunscreen is a product I've been using for the past few months. The ZinClear was used on me post treatment at DestinationSkin, and I quite like the feel of these so first purchased the version without the tint.
As the name suggests, these are mineral based and contain 18.6% Zinc Oxide.
The texture of these feel lovely and creamy, quite a moisturising feel to them but still relatively light. I like that these don't feel like sunscreen and even though they are quite creamy, the texture is absorbed well and doesn't leave the skin feeling greasy (but not matte either) - I took the sunkissed version on holiday to Morocco recently and found it perfect in the 41 degrees celsius heat.

The verison with no tint leaves virtually no whitecast and I didn't really notice anything except there is a minuscule purple tone initially when applying. I do prefer the tinted one as it seems to even out the skin a tiny bit as the shade blends well into my skintone.

The downside to these is the price - they are around £40-something (depending on where purchased), but sometimes DestinationSkin have offers on the products as when I bought the regular version they had an offer where if you buy one product, the 2nd was half price (the tinted I purchased when there was no offer).
Despite this, I have been reaching for this constantly and it has now become one of my favourite products.
Thanks for the review, I have been on a look out for a good sunscreen since the loss of Snowberry and this might well fit the bill :)

DeleteIt is a shame about Snowberry, it's sad to see a good brand go:(
The texture of the ZinClear is interesting and is the first thing that draws me in whenever I'm trying something new.
This looks really interesting Meeta, you know what I am like for sunscreens :) thanks for the review, really helpful. x

DeleteI was trying to be good as I have 2 other unopened sunscreens to use, but unusually for my beauty addict nature I repurchased this quite quickly.
I'm looking forward to seeing what the revamped Becca one is like - the aqua packaging looks lovely.
