Product description
This is an instant sunscreen for those with sensitive, greasy or combination skin or those who sweat a lot in the heat, as it won't leave you looking shiny like most creams. Instant Mineral is talc-free and transparent so it works on any skin tone. It also comes in portable packaging meaning you can brush the protection on at any time in the day, even over make-up. This sunscreen contains only natural physical sunblock and helps prevent sunburn, skin damage, freckling, and uneven discoloration.
Why it's cult
Peter Thomas Roth Instant Mineral is a silky smooth powder sunblock that leaves a clear, matte, residue-free layer of sun protection to help skin look smooth, even and non-greasy. Instant protection without the greasiness of suntan lotion. Instant mineral can be applied over your regular moisturiser, meaning no disruption to your skin care regime while you enjoy the sun.

User reviews of Peter Thomas Roth Instant Mineral SPF 45
Love this - but beware packaging
By A Smith , Self employed, Fifties, East Anglia
Love this - give my skin a great finish, and as I love the sun, its a good idea. BUT - When you have finished using it - in order to retract the brush you have to pull the base of the cylinder out. However the base also unscrews which isnt mentioned on the packaging, and if not really firmly done up, you will find the powder goes everywhere - and you are reordering - just like me!!!
Good protection, great idea.

I have just started using the Peter Thomas Roth mineral sunscreen and I'm so excited about it - not only is it a convenient and non-greasy sunscreen - it is an excellent translucent powder - my makeup now stays put all day with good coverage from the sun. One thing, make sure you put the top on properly this is not a fun thing to clean out of your bag!

I live in Florida, and thus far had put up with greasy, acne inducing goop that smelled like hippie...or wore big, huge hats. I ordered this sunscreen after reading about it on a dermatologist's blog, and after spending the weekend on the beach I am pleased to report no new breakouts! I don't have to wear sticky goop or crazy lady hats, and wait until after 4 to join my friends. I am free! One teensy problem...I'd guess this stuff is more SPF 15. I did get a bit of sun on my chest. I put the PTR on one hand and the Dr. Hauschka standby (SPF 23) on the other, and the Dr. Hauschka hand was a little more protected. Still, 15 is good enough given the likelihood of better compliance especially now that I'm aware of the problem.
