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.

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.
