DERMATOLOGIST REVIEW

What Dr. Baumann Says

I like using this sunscreen over a barrier repair moisturizer in dry skin patients. Although it is lightweight, it is too heavy to use over a moisturizer if you have oily skin. Oily skin types can use it instead of a moisturizer. It can function as a makeup primer because of the silicones in it. Make sure you wahs it off completely at night so it won't clog pores.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Alastin Silk Shield different from Alastin HydraTint Pro Mineral
Sunscreen?

Alastin Silk Shield is a lightweight, transparent, and silky sunscreen with no tint, designed for those who want a non-streaking, sheer finish. It uses zinc oxide as the sunblocking agent. HydraTint Pro Mineral Sunscreen, on the other hand, is more hydrating with a buttery texture and provides a tinted, soft-glow finish. It has both zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. HydraTint is heavier and more moisturizing than Silk Shield. Both sunscreens are non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic, and water-resistant for up to 40 minutes. If you prefer a lightweight, untinted option, go with Silk Shield. If you're looking for a tinted, moisturizing option, HydraTint is the better choice.
