Our verdict

A tinted mineral sunscreen moisturizer that controls shine and wears well under makeup on oily skin. It is not water resistant, so it is a daily face product, not a beach sunscreen.

Overview

Office days and city commutes on oily skin are what Paula's Choice RESIST Daily Wrinkle Defense is made for. The tinted mineral lotion uses zinc oxide for sun protection and leaves a soft matte finish that layers under makeup.

Paula's Choice combines mineral sun protection, a light tint and antioxidants in one non greasy step for oily and combination skin. Sweat and water will wear it down, so outdoor sports need a different product.

Who it's for

Daily wear under makeup on shiny skin is where this tinted lotion fits. People with dry skin or long days in the water should choose a richer or water resistant sunscreen.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Mineral zinc oxide protection
  • Tint avoids a white cast
  • Soft matte finish
  • Layers under makeup
Cons
  • Not water resistant
  • Single tint for all tones
  • Matte feel may dry dry skin

Performance notes

Zinc oxide stays on the surface and reflects UV, so even coverage matters for protection. Oil control comes from the matte base, which absorbs shine through the day.
