Not wearing sunscreen is a cardinal sin for any skin care devotee – but if you’re put off by memories of thick, pore-clogging formulas, it can be easy to avoid it. Enter, The Ordinary. Stripping back unnecessary packaging and misleading ingredients, every product in the range is game-changing and this SPF is no exception. Combining ultra-refined zinc oxide and titanium dioxide (no nanoparticles) with a bio-active antioxidant network, a hydration complex, skin-identical non-comedogenic lipids and Tasmanian pepperberry, this formula offers innovative SPF protection and free radical-fighting, nourishing support.
An innovative take on sunscreen that does so much more than guard your complexion against the harmful, ageing effects of the sun (though it does that very well indeed) The Ordinary’s Mineral UV Filters SPF 30 with Antioxidants offers unrivalled protection. Avoiding the use of nanoparticles (these are small enough to penetrate your skin and get inside your body), The Ordinary has formulated this sunscreen with ultra-refined zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, suspended within non-comedogenic (non-pore-blocking) silicones. This allows the formula to remain extremely lightweight and prevent it from over-burdening your skin. An advanced antioxidant complex scavenges and neutralises free radicals, minimizes the intensity of UV radiation penetrating the skin, while a bio-sugar complex provides both short and long-term hydration and also naturally increases skin’s own capacity to hold water. Finally, Tasmanian pepperberry helps to calm stressed skin for a soothed finish.

Very thick
Didn't like this too much, the tint wasn't quite right and it was still very white cast and thick from the mineral UV. I wouldn't recommend this too much, I would see if there is a better alternative, however from this product I've figured mineral sunscreens are not great for me personally.

Great SPF
Even though it leaves a white cast I love it. I can't recommend it to someone whose skin tone is not light, unfortunately, but it feels nice & really protects my skin.

Good in some ways
So I’m on the fence about this spf. On the one hand, it really does protect your skin. It was water/sweat-proof and protected my face much better than the high end equivalent I put on the rest of my body. It left my skin feeling great, not greasy or sweaty in the sun and really didn’t need too much of a top up to get through a whole day on the beach. HOWEVER, it does leave a white-ish tint to your skin. It didn’t seem to matter how little I put on, I was left with a notably ghostly cast to my skin. So I’d say this is great as a base under makeup. It’s great in all other respects, but as a suncream for holiday it’s white tint let’s you down.

Didn’t like texture
This is reef safe but I didn’t like the texture on my face. Difficult to absorb. Gave away in the end.

Good everyday SPF
I love the ordinary products and this one is no different. It sits beautifully under make up and creates a good matte base. I’m quite pale and it leaves a small white cast but as long as you have rubbed it in properly this subsides quickly :)

Moisturizing but too much white cast
I really like this product but was a bit disappointed with the white cast

Good
I was wary after reading reviews for this SPF, but was pleasantly surprised. The cream does leave a white cast but this doesn’t last long for me. It feels thick and not at all greasy.

Not getting on with this at all
I've tried this for a couple days, using in different ways with my skin care routine and I just don't like it. It always piles, no matter how long I wait to apply. It leaves a white cast. It feels dry on my skin and after a day's wear I just want to wash it off! My search for a decent sunscreen will continue....

My FAVOURITE spf!
This product is amazing! As someone who struggles to find a effective SPF, i was sceptical. However this product proved me wrong! Other spf's cause me to blister and dry my skin up, however this one doesn't. It keeps me fresh and protected thought the WHOLE day! I highly recommended it!
