Most people don\u2019t love their sunscreen. They tolerate it, because skipping it isn\u2019t an option. So, when a new product manages to flip that relationship, it\u2019s worth paying attention to.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s exactly what happened when NewBeauty\u2019s BeautyPass program <\/strong>sent Lerinn Beauty\u2019s ZincPure Sunmilk SPF 50 ($49) to members as a Free Gift Friday pick this summer. Most had never encountered the sunscreen before\u201483.7 percent of the 403 people who responded to our follow-up survey said they had no prior awareness of the product at all, meaning nearly everything below is a reaction to the formula itself, with zero brand loyalty or hype cushioning the response.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cIt feels like nothing is on my skin, which is unusual for a sunscreen,\u201d one happy reader shared. \u201cAnd even though it feels like nothing is there, it makes my skin look really healthy, glowing and hydrated. It\u2019s a win-win for sun protection and skin health. I\u2019m not easily excited about sunscreens, as long as they work and don\u2019t irritate my skin. But now I reach for this product and feel good about it every day. I live in SoCal, so anything that helps me stick to sun protection out of delight rather than obligation deserves kudos.\u201d<\/p>\n That sentiment shows up across the data, not just in one testimonial. Texture was the single most-cited reason people liked the product, named by 55.9 percent of respondents in our survey\u2014well ahead of effectiveness (46.1 percent) and ease of use (42.7 percent). Reviewers reached for comparisons well outside the sunscreen aisle to describe it. \u201cIt soaks in beautifully, blends seamlessly into my skin and leaves zero heavy or chalky residue,\u201d wrote another reader, who compared the formula to a luxury Japanese milky emulsion. \u201cIt is a 100-percent mineral zinc sunscreen that actually feels high-end and elegant.\u201d<\/p>\n For a zinc oxide formula\u2014the mineral category most associated with chalky, gray-cast finishes that send people running back to chemical sunscreens\u2014that reaction shows up again and again in the reviews, almost word for word: No cast, no residue, disappears on contact.<\/p>\n The people vouching for it aren\u2019t just casual users, either. Kimberly C., a licensed master aesthetician since 2004, called it her new daily go-to after trying \u201cnearly every type of SPF.\u201d Amy T., 46, uses it as part of a strict regimen for managing heat- and hormone-triggered melanoma and says it leaves her \u201cclear rather than chalky\u201d with only the faintest scent from the active ingredients. Cheryl E., a cancer patient who\u2019s not supposed to be in the sun, uses it on her face, neck, chest and hands specifically because it isn\u2019t sticky and dries down soft. Sarah D., who manages type 1 and type 2 rosacea, called it one of the only sunscreens that doesn\u2019t flare her skin or leave a film, adding that it \u201cwears incredibly well under makeup.\u201d<\/p>\n The performance numbers back up the anecdotal praise. Asked to compare it directly to other SPFs they\u2019d used, 68.3 percent said ZincPure Sunmilk was better than similar products on the market, including 32.5 percent who called it \u201cmuch better.\u201d Overall satisfaction landed at an average of 4.3 out of 5 stars, with 84.4 percent of respondents rating it a 4 or 5, and the average likelihood-to-recommend score hit 8.0 out of 10.<\/p>\n For readers who\u2019ve been burned (sometimes literally) by mineral formulas promising \u201cno white cast\u201d and not delivering, or who\u2019ve defaulted to chemical sunscreens out of texture frustration, ZincPure Sunmilk SPF 50 is worth the introduction. The consensus from nearly 400 people who tried it with no preconceptions: It disappears, it doesn\u2019t compromise on feel and for a lot of testers, it\u2019s earning a spot in daily routines rather than just emergency beach bags.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Most people don\u2019t love their sunscreen.
