Vichy Capital Soleil Tinted Mineral Sunscreen for Face SPF 60, Titanium Dioxide Face Sunscreen, Travel Size Sunscreen, Water Resistant, Light weight Sun Protection Creams, Gels, & Lotions

Edited to add: as of November 2025, I HAVE repurchased this two times. It ended up being one of the better tinted spf products I tried during my hunt for my favorite 2.5 years ago! Upped my rating to 5 stars. Everything below is still accurate!Original review May 2023:4 out of 5 stars… almost perfect for my needs.Im going to list my cons first, because if these really bother you, this won’t be your ideal product.1) the bottle is fairly small for sunscreen. It’s 1.5 oz. If you’re using this regularly and use the recommended amount of product to get accurate spf protection, you’re likely to go through this quickly.2) the price is high for the amount you get. I’ve purchased foundations that cost more, but you use less so they last longer. Also my go-to Paula’s Choice sunscreen is about the same price, but I’m getting twice as much product with that one. So this seems expensive to me.3) it’s messy. I don’t know why it feels so much messier than other products I have in the same sort of nozzle spout bottles. But this one definitely is messier. It’s never leaked out of the cap, but it gets all over the spout and inside the cap.And lastly 4) the coverage on this is very low. That’s not a deal breaker for me, and with two layers I get it to light coverage (versus sheer coverage with one layer.) If you like higher coverage products, you won’t get that with this no matter how many layers you apply.The background: I’m 47 with good skin, but dry and sensitive. I’m beginning to show signs of aging around my mouth and eyes. I prefer the lighter coverage foundation/skin tint products, those that look like healthy perfected skin rather than makeup that covers every little freckle but looks unrealistic. Because I have dry skin, I absolutely cannot do matte products without looking significantly aged. I also don’t like overly dewy products that sink into fine lines and pores.The conclusion: So I’ve been looking for the past year for a high spf tinted mineral facial sunscreen that didn’t irritate my sensitive skin. Ideally, I wanted something I could use in place of tinted moisturizer or skin tint type foundations for everyday use. I’ve purchased so many… some are too dry, some too oily, some offer zero coverage at all and emphasize texture, some are basically foundation with sunscreen so the coverage is too much. This one checks off most of my boxes. It’s moisturizing, but not greasy. It settles into a satin/natural finish on my face. The texture is thin and silky, feels lovely on. The universal tint matched well with my light neutral skin tone. The coverage is sheer to light at best, but even at sheer coverage it has a blurring effect that seems to camouflage minor imperfections. It can be built up slightly, not higher than light coverage, in my opinion. It’s not tacky to the touch, and can be set with a light dusting of powder if you prefer. The spf is high, which I like. Also, it’s not hard to use the recommended amount for the true spf coverage claimed. I believe the ideal amount to use is a quarter of a teaspoon of any spf to get the correct amount needed for the stated spf. That sounds like a lot, but this texture is so thin, and it applies so smoothly and easily, two layers gets the correct amount and still sits well on your skin and never looks odd or feels heavy. It wears well, feels good on, and doesn’t irritate my skin. It also doesn’t irritate my eyes.Overall, I’m very happy with my purchase. To be honest, I really like this but I’m not sure I’ll REpurchase, but ONLY because I’m undecided if the product value is there for the price… I might keep trying other tinted spf products to see if I find the true Goldilocks…
