Paula's Choice CALM Barrier Protect Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30

Having had laser hair removal I was recommended to use this type of SPF and I find it works well as a physical (rather than chemical) SPF by using Titanium Dioxide.It's moisturising and I haven't had any issues with sensitivity.

Superb sunscreen for sensitive skin. Although note it's not waterproof!!!

The “CALM Barrier Protect Mineral Sunscreen” (with SPF 30 rating) from “Paula’s Choice” is a tube of high-quality SPF 30 sunscreen that’s specifically designed for sensitive skin providing a lightweight texture.The sunscreen is a reasonably thin and liquid white lotion that makes it very easy to rub into your skin. It took me literally seconds to rub a test amount into my hand to the point you could no longer see anything but a light glisten.Once rubbed in all that’s left is a feeling of soft and refreshed skin without any scent to it whatsoever. This is excellent, as my daughter in particular hates that during the balmy summer months when she’s outdoors she always smells of whatever sunscreen she has on.For the sheer ease of application to the point where it’s fully rubbed in which takes no time at all, the moisturised feeling afterwards, I honestly have to say its one of the best sunscreens I’ve come across in a while.My daughter has sensitive skin and often struggles to find a sunscreen that doesn’t irritate her. This was absolutely perfect, with no irritation whatsoever. Also, the thin, low texture feel of the sunscreen meant that she was happy to have it on all day without it feeling like she had a layer over her skin. Instead, she felt her skin could breathe without any irritation.It’s just a shame the sunscreen isn’t waterproof. As such, when we went on holiday recently, my daughter had to reapply the sunscreen every time she came out of the pool. However, I guess this is just a trade-off between the other key features of the product.

Pricy sunscreen

This sunscreen is a dream come true! It rubs in quickly and leaves no greasy residue, perfect for those who hate the feeling of heavy sun cream. It worked well for my dad's sensitive skin and mine.However, the downside is the price and size. It's a bit expensive for a small tube. The good news is, you don't need a lot of product per application, so it might last longer than expected.Overall, if you have sensitive skin or dislike greasy sunscreens, this product is definitely worth considering, despite the price tag.

Lighter than most mineral sunscreens

I have rosacea, and due to the recent sunshine I have been having a flare up, so I am back on the soolantra. Thus in some ways it's a perfect time for me to be trying this SPF, although if my redness and sensitivity does improve over the next couple of weeks that will probably be thanks to the soolantra. All the same, anything that can help is worth trying.I always use SPF50 all year round, partly to help calm my rosacea and partly because I don't want to wrinkle. The fact I don't always reapply strictly is probably the reason I have had a flare up (I have definitely caught the sun and my freckles have come out). So this being "only" SPF30 was a bit of a concern for me. I suspect that's because it is a mineral sunscreen, and the more titanium they use the more heaviness and white cast a product tends to have.This hasn't got much of a white cast and doesn't feel too greasy so I guess it is a good balance. It sinks into the skin quite easily without too much rubbing. My skin continues to feel hydrated through the day, and I don't think it's clogging my pores. I have no sensitisation from this.There is a bit of an unpleasant aroma to this, I guess from the natural ingredients, and it isn't light and fresh the way some of the Korean SPF products are. But it is definitely better than a lot of the mineral sunscreens I have tried over the last couple of years. I will keep using this, although I won't take it out with me because for reapplication, the Garnier facial spray SPF50 is a lot better, being quick and non greasy. It can be really hard with a fringe, but that's the best solution I have found.I note the other reviewer says they used this sparingly and I want to emphasise- that's NEVER a good idea with SPF products. You have to use them liberally to get the promised protection.

Amazing product that actually works at reducing redness

I love this product because it actually works, sometimes my skin can get very red and sensitive from deep cleansing or chemical masks and this cream helps soothe and reduce redness whilst providing SPF protection

Good product

This is perfect on sun sensitive skin like my granddaughter hasUsed some in her today and so far no reaction to the cream or sun, cooled her skin down quickly taking any redness awayDon’t know how well it will work in the heights of summer but I have no reason to assume it won’t do a good jobsUse sparingly too

Nice to apply and not at all greasy

This has virtually no scent and when rubbed in is absorbed quickly and leaves no greasy residue behind.My father has some skin problems and found this to be good for him and I myself have used it and I really like the fact it does rub in very quickly and not leave you at all greasy once its been rubbed in.It is quite expensive and it is a small tube but I will say you don't need to apply a lot of it. I think if you do have sensitive skin or an aversion to greasy sun creams then it might be worth trying this product.

Revenge of the white cast... Returns!

So the cream itself feels nice but it leaves a white cast which is more noticible on more tan complexions like my own. You can't use a tiny amount to reduce the level of the white cast since you won't be getting adequate protection from the sun, so it's a tricky one.I like the ingredients and so far I haven't had any issues with irritation and breakouts as a result of using the sun cream. I did have some pilling which I'm trying to investigate, it might have reacted to the cream I used underneath. Not ideal but it happened. Using on its own is fine though.Overall not my favourite sun cream. It's not bad but it's not one I'd reach for the most due to the white cast and pilling.
