I picked up the Innisfree Daily UV Defense Mineral Sunscreen Broad Spectrum after seeing so many people recommend it for sensitive skin. I have combination skin that leans dry in the winter and oily in the summer, and I’m always on the lookout for a mineral sunscreen that doesn’t feel heavy or leave a white cast. 

Spoiler: this one is decent, but it didn’t blow my mind.

First impression — the texture is on the thicker side, but not in a suffocating way. It spreads pretty easily if I warm it up between my fingers first, and it leaves a slightly dewy finish. On my drier days, I really appreciated that extra hydration. On humid days, though, it sometimes felt a little too much, especially around my T-zone.

As for the white cast, it’s minimal, but it’s definitely there if you have a medium or deeper skin tone. I’m light to light-medium, and it still took some effort to fully blend it in, especially around the hairline and eyebrows.

The good news: zero irritation. My skin can be really reactive to mineral sunscreens (looking at you, zinc oxide), but this one stayed calm. No stinging, no redness, no breakouts. It also sits fine under makeup if you let it set for a minute or two before layering anything on top.

The bad news: longevity. After about 4-5 hours, especially outdoors, I definitely needed to reapply. It doesn’t have the hardcore staying power I wish it did for long days outside.

Overall, it’s a solid mineral sunscreen for daily casual wear, especially if you’re mostly indoors or not sweating much. But if you’re expecting something completely invisible and super lightweight, you might find it a bit lacking. I’m glad I tried it, but I’m not sure it’s a repurchase for me.
