Acure

A zinc oxide sunscreen that offers broad spectrum protection, plus squalane for deep moisture.

I received the Acure Mineral Sunscreen SPF50 and I was excited to try a mineral body sunscreen. I do like the fact that this mineral
Sunscreen is free from parabens, sulfates, mineral oil free, petroleum free, formaldehyde free as well as cruelty free! I did try it on my arms and neck first but was a little disappointed. The formulation is a heavy, sticky feel with an intense white cast and hard to rub into your skin therefore I am only giving this product 2 stars mainly for the ingredients it is free from, and the mineral formulation. I would not recommend this to a friend because it is very heavy, sticky and actually hard to apply . I’m not sure why it is heavy and sticky and I think Acure could have done a better job with how this sunscreen goes onto skin.

I have been using this sunscreen for a few weeks and love it. The texture is lightweight and blends in much better than most mineral sunscreens, with only a slight white cast that fades quickly. It doesn’t feel greasy or heavy, and my sensitive skin hasn’t reacted at all. I also appreciate the clean, vegan ingredients and eco-friendly packaging. It’s a bit pricier than drugstore brands, but the quality and peace of mind are worth it. Definitely recommend for daily sun protection!

I’d like to share my experience using Acure Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50, because finding a good mineral sunscreen is truly a challenge—especially if you have sensitive or acne-prone skin. I’ve tried many different SPF products, but this one from Acure really impressed me.Let’s start with the most important part: sun protection. This sunscreen has SPF 50 and is labeled broad spectrum, which means it protects against both UVA and UVB rays. I used it on sunny days—both during walks in the city and when I was out in nature. My skin didn’t burn, didn’t turn red, and no new pigmentation spots appeared. That’s a big plus for me, since I’m actively working to reduce post-acne marks and dark spots. A strong, reliable sunscreen is essential.The texture surprised me at first. Like many mineral sunscreens, it’s on the thicker side and has a slight white cast when first applied. But what really impressed me is how quickly it absorbs. It doesn’t leave behind a greasy film or heavy layer. If you apply it in small amounts and spread it evenly, the white cast becomes almost invisible. For a mineral sunscreen, that’s an excellent result.The feeling on the skin is very comfortable. It’s not sticky, doesn’t pill, and doesn’t cause irritation. On the contrary, it leaves my skin feeling hydrated and soft. I didn’t expect it to be so moisturizing, but perhaps that’s thanks to the squalane in the formula. That’s a really nice bonus—if you have normal or combination skin, you may not need a separate moisturizer underneath.As for makeup compatibility, that’s another huge win. I tried applying foundation over this SPF, and it worked beautifully. No pilling, no patchiness. My makeup went on smoothly and lasted well throughout the day. I didn’t even use a primer, so I’d say this sunscreen can easily double as a makeup base.I also appreciate Acure’s ethical and eco-friendly approach. The brand is cruelty-free, and this formula is reef-safe, meaning it’s safe for marine life and coral reefs. That matters to me—I try to support brands that care about the planet and consumer health.Looking at the ingredients, I was pleased to see a clean formula. It’s free of parabens, sulfates, mineral oils, and synthetic fragrances. This makes it ideal for sensitive or problematic skin. I get occasional breakouts, so I’m always careful not to use anything that clogs pores. This SPF didn’t cause any flare-ups or irritation, even after hours of wear.Finally, the price is very reasonable. Acure isn’t the cheapest brand out there, but considering the quality, size, and performance—it’s totally worth it. I’ve been using it daily for over a month, and I still have plenty left in the tube.
