The master of multi-tasking
2-in-1? Puh-lease, that was like sooo last season! This season it’s all about products that can multi-task like masters and boy, do Invisible Zinc have a goodie for you…
It’s Invisible Zinc Tinted Daywear Anti-ageing Facial Moisturising Sunscreen SPF 30+ – and before you go on to protest that you already know and love this product, well…we know (it wouldn’t be a cult beauty buy and the brand’s top selling product if it didn’t already have such a following!). What you may not know is that Invisible Zinc Tinted Daywear is now the proud owner of a new and improved formulation.
Don’t worry, it still uses the same award-winning micronized zinc oxide technology, which mills down the zinc particles until they are no longer visible to the naked eye (meaning no unsightly zinc-white skin!), and it still provides moisturisation, enhanced UV protection, and sheer colour all in one easy step. What’s changed however is that, unlike other zinc products that tend to be very heavy on the skin, this formulation is now lighter than before, is easier to apply, longer wearing, and hypoallergenic – so you can be assured that when wearing it your skin will be well nourished, protected against the elements, and look smoother and more glowing, without any residual whiteness, greasiness, or skin irritation – hoorah!
But don’t just take our word for it, read our Trial Teams reviews of Zinc Tinted Daywear Anti-ageing Facial Moisturising Sunscreen SPF 30+…

Invisible Zinc Tinted Daywear Anti-ageing Facial Moisturising Sunscreen SPF 30+
“This being zinc, I thought it might be thick and gloggy, but what a pleasant surprise! It has just the right consistency. I have acne prone skin, but absolutely love this formula, especially with the light tint. I usually wear SPF 30 under my makeup, but with this IZ tint, I find the coverage is good enough that all I need is a little concealer to go on after the tint. I also find that because its tinted, I'm inclined to put more on my face to get more coverage, than if it was not tinted, which means, my face is probably better protected than if I wore non tinted sunscreen and then make-up. This does not irritate my sensitive skin and the colour stays on pretty well, even when I sweat. The tint in light is just perfect for me, the colour is so natural and beautiful on my fair to medium Asian skin, unlike many other tinted sunscreen, its not orangey, or pink. It looks like well colour matched, light make-up on my face. The coverage is also much better than the rest I have tried, it covers my acne scars fairly well, only a little concealer is required afterwards, and my skin usually require full coverage foundation to hide the scars! Will wear it on weekends and to work!! Must try.” - blah

Our lucky Trial Teamers also received Invisible Zinc ESP Environmental Skin Protector 30+, which is a is a 3-in-1 antioxidant moisturiser that also uses micronized zinc oxide technology to form an invisible film that functions as a barrier between the skin and the environment.
Here's what they had to say about it...
Invisible Zinc ESP Environmental Skin Protector 30+…
"I was sent both this product and the Tinted daywear by BH for trial, but this is the product I've fallen in love with!...The product itself is a thick but still fluid white cream which flows smoothly as you rub it into your skin. It's moisturising but not greasy, and to me the cream smells faintly of green tea...To really test this product, I did a full application on my face, neck and arms, then went for my weekly long run of 15k. This takes me almost two hours, and even though I wear a hat and sunnies I typically end up with a bit of a pink nose, leading to more freckles, argh! IZ didn't sweat off, grease up, slide away, mark my clothes, nothing. All it did was stay where it was supposed to and do a damn fine job of protecting my skin. I've been so impressed by this product that I went out and purchased the 4-hour water resistant sunscreen as well. This is some serious sun protection, at a seriously good price. I can't say enough good things about it. I've hated sunscreen for YEARS because it was always greasy and made me feel gross, but IZ is the sunscreen of the future." - Prettykitty1

Zinc oxide is the best sunscreen - it provides a barrier against UV rays, not a chemical reaction in your skin like other SPF creams. To make zinc invisible and in a tinted moisturiser is excellent. As great as the reviews. Thanks, testing team! Especially PrettyKitty1 - a 15km run for a review is dedication. :)

I have tried this, my 4 yr old has sensitive skin, and this is the best. Lasts long too. The only thing is because we use this frequently it does become costly.

Yes I agree, it is a cult beauty buy. The product really does deliver and has been a favourite of mine for some time.

Reading the reviews this product is definately worth trying. I for one don't like zincs generally, they make my face feel greasy and my pore's feel like they are suffocating......####Sandra

I've heard mixed reviews on IZ but these seem to be all positive. I'm pretty tempted to try the tinted version.

I like the sound of the tinted one. I always worry about these products blocking up the pores and causing my skin to break out but would be worth a try. I always use SPF in my foundation too, it's so important to protect your skin.

This product is quiet costly. Definetly one of the best available. I found the product better as a base/primer then just a foundation. Excelent for the hand bag in those emergency touch up situations.

I tried the invisible zinc and the tinted daywear but I stopped soon after (1.5 weeks) beacuse I developed lots of large nasty pimples around my mouth and lower cheeks. I dont have oily skin nor have I had ache since I was 17(4 yrs ago), so the breakout was a surprise to me.
Disappointing for me in acne care but I guess I should have expected this as both of the products did give my skin a thick greasy feel.
They work well as a concealor and mattyfying primer for my makeup though :) just had to really make sure I used a very deep cleanser that night :):)

I've tried the Invisible Zinc ESP Environmental Skin Protector 30+ and loved it! It left me with a bit of a white/grey sheen though, but this faded over time.

Recently I bought two of the Invisible Zinc Light Tinted Daywear. They were on special so I thought it was time to buy one for me and one I'm giving my granddaughter, who is a fair tween. I found that when I applied it, it was a little shiny on my dry skin, so I needed to add some translucent powder to tone it down. Otherwise, I would recommend this product to anyone, not only for the SPF high protection factor, but also for the smooth coverage it offers and moisturising effect.
