FAQs

Is this product considered pregnancy or nursing-friendly?

We recommend consulting your healthcare provider for any specific concerns.

What skin types is Barefaced SPF best for?

This sunscreen is ideal for normal, combination, and sensitive skin types. Because it’s mineral-based and free of fragrance, it’s gentle enough for post-procedure or reactive skin.

If you’re oily, it can double as your primer; if you’re dry, apply over a lightweight moisturizer for smoother blending.

Can I wear SPF with makeup?

Absolutely. It layers beautifully under foundation or tinted moisturizer and also gives a polished, even finish on its own.

If you’re wearing makeup, reapply with a powder or spray SPF to maintain protection throughout the day.

How do I apply my products?

We wrote you a blog post all about it! Check out How to Layer Your Skincare Products for more info.

Reviews

Works Great!

"I have never used a tinted moisturizer and now I am hooked! I bought this for my 13 year old daughter. It was recommended by a niece. She plays sports and used it for a track meet and softball and hasn’t gotten burned. She liked it so much that I started using it as well. It goes with me everywhere now. Thank you for a great product!!"

Dawn W. (5/5)

This is just ok

"I received the tinted sunscreen as a free gift with order. It goes on nicely at first. However, I don’t see any tint at all, and it seems to dry out my skin."

Ashley P. (3/5)

Smooth, some coverage, glow, perfect application

"Got this for free with a purchase but would 100% purchase for myself! It does not pill. It goes on very smoothly and does not streak like some other tinted sunscreens do. I wear a mask most of the day in an operating room, and this looks just as good at 5pm as it does at 5am."

Sydney C. (5/5)

Unsure

"Love the sun protection but this product is greasy, has a smell I don’t love. The smell is worse over all of my other barefaced products. Also if I try to add any other makeup on top it pills."

Maggie S. (3/5)

Love

"Goes on smooth, and I don’t look greasy during the day. I also find good quality tinted spf is expensive for 1. 7oz and this is 2oz for $40 when subscribing which ends up being cheaper than most products I’ve come across. Win!"

Brooke D. (5/5)

Recommend,

"The only reason I gave four stars is because it is a tad bit thicker than I'm used to so I have to rub it in a lot. By the time I get all the way done, sometimes it's already dried and there's some dry bits I have to sluff off. Otherwise, I love this. Not oily, great color matching technology and it doesn't smell like many of the other tinted moisturizers do."

Ashley W. (4/5)

Love this product! Easy to

"Love this product! Easy to use and gives the most subtle coverage for tinted sunscreen! Would recommend to anyone!!"

Kayla H. (5/5)

No foundation, only SPF

"Love my tinted SPF, I never go back to just SPF anymore. This is what I use instead of foundation for over 2 years now!"

Katie R. (5/5)

"It looks great and ive bought a few times now. My only complaint is that it easily starts to “pill” and roll off if you touch your face much."

Emily (4/5)

Tinted Protection

"I absolutely love this product. I love the way my skin feels dewy after I use it and it gives just enough coverage."

Q&A

Is the tunt pritectuon product good for all ski.n tones, both light and dark
Hi Lisa, Yes, our Tinted SPF is a universal tint that is suitable for all skin types. Please feel free to reach out to us at hello@barefaced.com with any additional questions, we're happy to help!
Are their benefits in the Tinted Moisturizer for mature skin?
Hi Tabatha! Thanks for reaching out! Yes there are! Tinted SPF shields against UVA + UVB rays, which are the #1 cause of premature aging. Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any other questions!
Hi - I’ve been using this for a couple of weeks now and every time I put it on I experience severe burning in my eyes. I am avoiding my eye area when I apply the product so it isn’t from just getting it in my eyes accidentally. Is this normal?
Hi Alex! Thank you for reaching out. Yes, sunscreen can burn the eyes when contact is made. We recommend to wash your hands after application. Please email hello@barefaced.com for additional questions.
could I use this as a moisturizer?
Hi Jennie! Thank you for reaching out to us! Many skin types find Tinted Protection to be moisturizing as it has additional hydrating ingredients in it, but some skin types need an additional moisturizer underneath for added hydration. We recommend applying a moisturizer and then letting that fully dry before applying Tinted Protection. There is caffeine in Tinted Protection which can make the skin feel a little tight initially. Please feel free to reach out to us at hello@barefaced.com with any additional questions, we're happy to help!
Hi there, can you still wear makeup after applying this?
Hi Taylor! Thank you for reaching out. Yes, you can apply makeup after the Tinted Protection SPF. We recommend to wait until your skincare is completely dry before applying the SPF and makeup. For additional questions please email hello@barefaced.com
