I hate when they leave a purple/white cast on skin &amp; are sticky if you put clothes on. Does this sunscreen do this? Reviews vary &amp; I am confused.

hi, it can leave a little bit of a white residue. usually sinks in and goes away. I do mix it with a dab of foundation/bronzer when applying to my face. I believe all physical sunblocks will leave a little white. It is not sticky and can leave my skin a little dry. I have super sensitive skin and chemical sunblocks are not an option for me. Ive tried everything and this is the only one I like.

I love this sunscreen. I don't think it leaves my skin any shinier than any other sunscreen I have tried. I apply it very lightly. For darker complexions, it could possibly leave a lighter cast. What I like the most about it is that it doesn't cause breakouts.

I have a deep tan complexion, and it does start off white-ish, but it is fine after it dries. I wear this with and without makeup.

I have tried several of the Skinceutical products and found that they are all quite sheer. In other words they absorb quickly and leave virtually no white residue. Better than most sun screens of this type.

No it does not! It fades right into skin! Doesn't even look like you put anything on :)

I'm not sure what you mean by sticky. I put it on my freshly cleansed face, after I've used toner, serum and moisturing cream. I need to keep the moisture in my skin. It goes on smoothly and looks great. My face feels moist and not tacky, but hey, that's just me. I'd be really unhappy if it left me feeling dry. I'm extremely pleased with this and it is a great base for my makeup, which is relatively simple. Blush and contour powder goes on smoothly over it, as does eye makeup.

Maybe it's just me, but I've never had a tanning lotion that came off in patches. Mine always fade, or more likely washed off, unevenly. I've probably then not applied it evenly.

Its light but slightly greasy and takes a bit to seep in. Yes, it does leave a white/brighter film on the skin. It has an awesome citrus smell. I'm not familiar with the other brands you've mentioned. We have stayed with California Baby as it's the only one that genuinely prevents sunburn for our child.

I've been putting it on my face for months... no problem. It's thick & white though... so don't expect it to go on clear. This the REAL DEAL sunscreen. I'm an avid fisherman.

It is a little greasy/sticky, but I don't think it's too bad (compared to other sunscreens). If you work it in really well, it doesn't leave a white sheen. But if you're especially hairy, then it will make your hair a little white. My husband's am 5 hair gets a little discolored after applying it. I'd also be mindful around your hairline. I really like this sunscreen. I find that regarding stickiness, it's comparable to the spray sunscreens but lasts much longer.

I've gotten the sunscreen on my collar before, and it leaves a white residue, not rust-like. It always comes out in the wash though. Hope that helps. :)

It does leave a bit of a white cast, but I find it (the white cast) doesn't last too long. It will look like normal after a bit!

i have never had stains on my clothing from this sunscreen, but i put it on about 45 minutes before i dress to leave the house. i believe you will love this product as it does not stain your clothing or have an overpowering smell. believe me, it works- it was recommended by my dermatologist.

Yes it does, but it does eventually absorb and disappear. It does also look pretty greasy, but despite this, this is the only sunscreen I've found that doesn't cause skin sensitivity.

This is a non-oily physical sunscreen, so it doesn't take long to dry and doesn't feel sticky once rubbed in, but it does leave a subtle white cast. It doesn't go on as easily as Burnout Kids Physical Sunscreen (which I believe has been discontinued and replaced with a product that is much harder to apply), but from the data and my experience, it provides better UV protection and resists water/sweat better.I'm not sure about wearing makeup over it, but given that it is very waterproof, I'm guessing it wouldn't be a problem.

I mixed mine into a homemade sunscreen bar and it is great. I do not have any problems using it on my face and it leaves no white residue on my skin.

I didn't find it greasy. You definitely have to rub it in, but it rubs in easily, and then it doesn't leave a white cast-- especially when you compare it to other natural sunscreens.
