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?

Reviews

Not my favorite

"I’m a huge Barefaced fan, but this product is not it for me. I’ve tried it twice and both times it pills so bad for me. I don’t use too much product underneath and wait 20-30 after other products before applying. I prefer Revision intellishade. I love all the other BF products I have tried!"

— Libbie B. (3/5)

ON my second bottle

"While this last bottle seems a little darker than the first, I still love it! The finish is dewy on my 50 year old skin, I like the ingredients and it smells pleasant."

— Jennifer A. (5/5)

Can’t stop buying it!

"I use tinted spf everyday! It’s protected my skin all summer and has a very light and even tint that helps my light colored skin glow a bit! I will always restock on this product!"

— Colleen G. (5/5)

My fave tinted sunscreen

— Christina G. (5/5)

Must add to your routine!

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)

Favorite spf

Q&A

Is this safe for acne prone skin?
Hi Paige! Our Tinted Protection SPF 50+ was designed for acne-prone skin. It's oil-free and contains ingredients such as lactic acid which increases cellular turnover (minimizes breakouts) and niacinamide which contains anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce redness caused by acne and can also help prevent breakouts. With that being said, everyone's skin can react differently to certain ingredients and products. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to reach out to us at hello@barefaced.com and we would be happy to help!
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!
