Colorescience Sheer Matte SPF 30 Powder Brush — Unscented, Oil-Control Mineral Sunscreen for Oily & Acne-Prone Skin

Colorescience Total Protection Sheer Matte SPF 30 is a lightweight mineral powder brush that mattifies oily skin, reduces shine and delivers broad-spectrum SPF protection on the go. This pocketable brush combines a translucent oil-absorbing powder with mineral UV filters and antioxidants to help shield oily and blemish-prone skin from sun exposure and environmental stressors. The untinted formula sits sheer on the skin, minimizes the look of pores, and can be used alone or layered over makeup for midday touch-ups. Because it’s fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, and formulated without parabens, sulfates or phthalates, it’s designed to be gentle enough for sensitive complexions while still targeting excess oil.

How does this brush control shine without disturbing makeup?

The brush dispenses a fine, weightless mineral powder that soaks up surface oil without adding color or texture. It’s safe to sweep over foundation and effectively reduces midday shine while maintaining a natural finish.

• Fine, untinted powder for invisible mattifying
• Brush applicator allows targeted, blended application
• Works over liquid or powder foundation for quick touch-ups

What kind of sun and environmental protection does it provide?

The powder contains 100% mineral active filters for broad-spectrum SPF 30 protection plus EnviroScreen® Technology to protect against UV rays, pollution, blue light and infrared. Antioxidant ingredients help neutralize free radicals that can damage skin over time.

• Broad-spectrum protection (SPF 30 / PA+++)
• Mineral-only actives, suitable for sensitive skin
• Antioxidant blend supports environmental defense

Is the formula appropriate for acne-prone or sensitive skin?

The formula is non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic, and fragrance-free to limit irritation and pore-clogging. Its antimicrobial bristles and lightweight powder make it a practical choice for skin that is oily or blemish-prone, though it is not intended for dry complexions.

• Non-comedogenic and dermatologist-friendly
• Free of parabens, sulfates, phthalates and fragrances
• Antimicrobial brush for cleaner application

How should I apply and reapply throughout the day?

Sweep the brush in small circular motions over oily zones—commonly the T-zone—or across the whole face as needed. Reapply at least every two hours for ongoing sun protection and more frequently for oil control; it layers well over other products.

• Use small circular motions to blend powder into skin
• Apply all over or target oily areas like forehead, nose, and chin
• Reapply every two hours for SPF protection or as oil reappears
