    I use and recommend the Instant Mineral Powder SPF 45 available exclusively at Sephora. This version removes the Zea Mays/Corn Starch which can cause acne. It also contains almost twice as much...

    I wasn't sure how to rate this because the product itself is fine--titanium dioxide that isn't a greasy white mess, sign me up--but the packaging is HORRIBLE. Mine broke apart when I retracted the...

    I found that this powder sunscreen has both good points and bad points. And my review is technically for the SPF 45 version with the yellow label, but I don't think there's actually much difference...

    I'm not sure how effective it is as a sunscreen but I like how convenient it is. It's so easy to use and the powder is perfect for fair skin. I feel like I'm at least doing something to protect...

    I do love this powder for spf touchups during the day but that is about it. The powder feels unnecessarily heavy on my face and the powder seems to go everywhere including on my eyebrows so I...

    I bought this while it was on sale @ sephora with the extra 20% off. I liked the concept that powder inside a brush, with SPF 30. What a dream comes true :P It supposed to make touch up easier...

    The concept of this is absolutely brilliant. I have the one that is SP45 though. I find the color of the powder to be too light for my skin tone (I wear NW43 in Mac Studio Fix and Chestnut in...

    I don't know about blocking the sun, but I'll tell you what this product does better than any other I ever tried: keep the oilies at bay. I got this as a gratis when I worked at Sephora, and...

    I like the idea of sunscreen in powder form, but the bottle was terrible. My biggest complaint is the packaging. You use it by shaking it then applying. It closes when you pull the bottom part down...

    This is a review of PTR Instant Mineral SPF 30 (brush- on powder). I love this stuff! I wear it over an SPF 15 tinted moisturizer and it provides extra SPF without irritating my skin. In fact,...

    Used it for less than two weeks - pulled the brush back in as directed - and it came apart, spewing powder all over the place. Took it back to Sephora, where they told me I was not the first...

    *Note - I am reviewing the Sephora exclusive SPF 45 version of this. What a bummer. This product is such a great idea, but it "peters" out in practice (bwahaha). It's expensive. It's pigmented,...

    I was excited to find a powder sunscreen, as I HATE sunscreen in my moisturizers. I don't care what anyone says, I can tell it's in there. It's greasy, smelly, and I'm fairly certain it contributes...

    At first, I loved the idea of a powder sunblock in a portable retractable brush, so that I could easily reapply during the day. After using it on and off for a couple months, I've concluded there...
