Colorescience Total Protection Face Shield Matte SPF 50, 1.8 fl oz — Matte Finish, Oil-Control & Pore-Blur

Colorescience Total Protection Face Shield Matte SPF 50 is a lightweight, all-mineral daily sunscreen that mattifies oily skin while shielding it from UVA/UVB, blue light, pollution, and infrared damage.

This matte-face sunscreen combines mineral UV filters with EnviroScreen Technology and antioxidants to defend skin from multiple environmental stressors without a greasy finish. Formulated to absorb excess oil and blur the look of pores, the lotion sits comfortably under makeup or can be used alone for a shine-free look. It contains 12% zinc oxide and delivers SPF 50 protection with PA++++ rating, plus water and sweat resistance for up to 40 minutes. Note: the formula includes niacinamide (vitamin B3); if you have a known sensitivity, perform a patch test before use.

How does this sunscreen control shine and reduce the look of pores?

The matte formula contains oil-absorbing components and a lightweight, non-greasy base that reduces surface oil throughout the day. It creates a soft-focus finish that minimizes the appearance of enlarged pores without cakey buildup.

• Absorbs excess oil to maintain a matte complexion.
• Soft-focus, blurring effect to visually reduce pore size.
• Lightweight lotion that layers well under makeup.

What environmental protection does EnviroScreen Technology provide?

EnviroScreen Technology offers a multi-threat defense by combining mineral filters with antioxidants and patented ingredients to help neutralize free radicals. This protects against UVA/UVB rays, visible blue light from screens, pollution particles, and infrared radiation that can accelerate skin aging.

• 12% zinc oxide for broad-spectrum mineral sun protection.
• Antioxidant-infused minerals to help guard against free radical damage.
• Shields from blue light and pollution in addition to UV rays.

Is this product suitable for water exposure or active days?

Yes — the formula is water- and sweat-resistant for up to 40 minutes, making it appropriate for short swims, workouts, or humid conditions. Reapply after toweling off, swimming longer than 40 minutes, or heavy sweating to maintain full SPF coverage.

• Water/sweat resistant for 40 minutes according to product testing.
• Reapplication recommended after swimming, sweating, or towel drying.
• Works well under makeup during active or humid days.

Will this sunscreen work with my skin tone and type?

Colorescience designed this Face Shield Matte for normal to oily and combination skin types, especially helpful for those who need oil control and pore blurring. It’s formulated with a universal tint that works well on medium to deep skin tones and can be layered beneath color cosmetics or used alone for a natural matte finish.

• Ideal for medium to deep skin tones and normal, combination, or oily skin.
• Light, breathable finish suitable for daily wear or under makeup.
• Contains niacinamide; patch test if you have sensitivity.

Who is this for? If you want dependable mineral UV protection without shine, this product is geared toward people with oily or combination skin who prefer a matte finish and multi-threat environmental defense. It’s a practical choice for daily commuters, office workers using screens, outdoor enthusiasts with brief water exposure, and anyone seeking a mineral-based sunscreen that layers easily under makeup. Remember to patch test if you have a known allergy to niacinamide, and reapply after sweating or swimming to maintain SPF 50 coverage.
