I just received this product so I can’t rate its effectiveness BUT, I use several other products from the company and they are awesome so I am confident I will love this one too!

I'm a natural redhead, so I think I have a lot of weight when it comes to my opinion on sunscreen. As someone who has used all manners (gels, hydrogels, lotions, creams, sprays, oils) and price points (cheap drugstore to expensive luxury brands) of sunscreen in the last few decades, the big takeaways are ensuring it is pleasant to apply and effective. If a sunscreen is thick, heavy, sticky, smelly, or greasy, a pain to apply, and leaves you looking orange or ghostly, people are not going to bother. We're told we should be wearing it regularly, year-round, rain or shine, but who is going to do that with products they dislike? This Caldera + Lab The Face SPF, while expensive for zinc oxide (a common mineral filter) sunscreen, ticks the right boxes for me. I would not pay $65 for a 1.69oz plastic pump of zinc oxide, but this cost aligns with the Caldera + Lab brand. Having said that, I did enjoy the use and quality. It is creamy, unscented (I didn't notice a smell), lightweight, non-greasy, and didn't leave me feeling gummy or looking shiny. It spreads easily and melts into the skin without leaving a white cast - which often happens with zinc oxide. So, if these points are important to you, and you are looking for a good SPF, and the price isn't as much of a factor when it comes to your skincare, the Caldera + Lab The Face SPF would be a nice one to try. Don't forget to coat all exposed areas, including lips, ears, neck, etc., and reapply often.

As i get a bit older, I realize I should be a little kinder to mu skin, especially on my face, and use a sunscreen for prolonged exposure. Working in the yard, going for a walk, a barbeque - not just a day at the pool or beach - requires some SPF to help keep the wrinkles away. I like this product. - Good ingredients - natural and good moisturizing - Like the scent - barely noticeable so not conflicting with other grooming products like face wash - Goes on thin and easy to rub into skin for absorption Is a little greasy in the hand but not on the face. Not sure it is worth the high price point but so far, I do like it.

I wear sunscreen everyday, year round, so I am always on the lookout for a good face sunscreen. I want one that is not oily/greasy so that I can wear makeup over it or that I can at least look fresh faced without makeup, but not like I spent the afternoon slathering on sunscreen at the pool! I feel like this Caldera Lab sunscreen meets that need. It’s matteifying, I don’t look greasy at all with this sunscreen. It has a minor sunscreen-y scent, nothing overpowering, almost a bit woodsy, but really, it’s almost not noticeable. No white cast with this mineral sunscreen. Apply and go! But let’s address the cost - currently $65. I only use this sunscreen on my face and décolletage, I don’t share it with my kiddos. I also only use this sunscreen on regular days, not at the pool, beach, skiing, gardening, etc. (those days, I use something with a higher SPF and reapply a lot). So, for daily use, I am using a quality product, similar in cost to some of my makeup or high end skincare products. Definitely using this product in a different manner than other sunscreens so that I can care for my skin everyday, not just on the days we think we need sunscreen. In that way, this price is worth it.

The Caldera + Lab The Face SPF has become a staple in my sun care routine. As a fair-skinned woman, I've tried various sunscreens over the years, and this one stands out for its pleasant application and effectiveness. I do prefer mineral sunscreens like this one over chemical ones. I also have very sensitive skin and this one doesn't cause burning or redness on me. Priced on the higher side for a zinc oxide sunscreen, it aligns with the Caldera + Lab brand. The formula is creamy, lightweight, and non-greasy, offering a smooth application that doesn't leave a white cast – a common issue with zinc oxide sunscreens. For those who prioritize a comfortable SPF experience, especially if price is less of a concern, the Caldera + Lab The Face SPF is worth a try. Ensure to cover all exposed areas, and don't forget to reapply regularly.
