For many years I've been using Paula's Choice sunscreen for oily skin blended with Revlon Colorstay makeup as my foundation. I like a sheer, easy to blend makeup with sunscreen, so I decided to try Barely There. After using it for about two months and noticed blocked pores. Once I stopped using it, my pores cleared up. (I think it was the mineral sunscreens ingredients) Paula's Choice has been great, though- they have been keeping my skin clear with their other products for many years!

I thought I was trying out a tinted moisturizer; what I got is a foundation with maybe a hint of moisterizer in it. If something is called moisturizer, I shouldn't have to put moisturizer on underneath. It went on heavy, more than sheer coverage, felt like a facial mask, and emphasized all the lines & blemishes I don't want exaggerated.. The level 1 is actually darker than my skin tone. Very glad I only got samples.

I got a sample of this for 80 cents and it was a lot more than I expected! However...this left my face looking greasy and not matte at all, especially near my nose. It actually made my pores show even more. I tried to put some powder on top, but it looked really cakey and uneven, even after I tried to blend it. Also, the color (level 1) made my skin look a bit too yellow... I really wish this worked for me. :(

I have been using Jane Iredale Pure Pressed Base, which I liked, but also because I worked at a spa where I received 50% off. Having tried some of Paula's skincare which I have been delighted with, thought I would give this a try. My skin is beyond greasy with mild to moderate breakouts. This gives me a glow, evens my skin tone and lasts all day. Also happy about the SPF 30, as Jane's only contains 20. Highly recommended!

I have used this for several years but when the higher SPF came out the lighter shade I had always used seemed lighter. So my hunt for something new started. After quite a few returns of other brands of so called BB's I ordered the Level 3. It is a perfect match! I don't use heavy make-up and I find I can apply this mid-day to get added protection and it doesn't clog pores. Thank you Paula for this amazing product! Please, please do not discontinue this product.

This product provided sheer coverage as expected, but it left my skin oily and unevenly toned. Unfortunately I have been breaking out and have been forced to stop using the product. :(

I received the barely there sheer matte tint with Spf 30 a couple months back in Level 2 Light/Medium and I must say, this is much better on my skin than the Spf 20 Sheer Matte Tint. The coverage is great and it feels much, much lighter on my oily, acne-prone skin. Well done Paula for bringing this out with higher sun protection! The Spf 20 I still have is in Sheer Neutral and that comes off my skin a tad too dark. I prefer the newer version for my skin. Thank you very much!

4.5 stars actually because I LOVE this tinted moisturizer. I put this on top of my cle de peau stick concealer and get a ton of compliments! It takes less than 10 seconds to blend! The price is EXCELLENT (thank you, Paula)! The only reason why I can't give it a full 5/5 stars is because it lacks lasting power on its own. Without my concealer it fades about in about 4 or 5 hours into my work day. I do have combination/oily skin though so it may work as HG tinted moisturizer for someone else.

Level 1 is the closest substitution I've found for the discontinued All Bases Covered shade that suited my very fair, dryish, acne-prone skin. It provides some of the luminosity and that very subtle shine that made my complexion glow, and it stays through the day. But it is a tad dry and coverage, while good, is not quite enough. Ironically it was more apparent I was wearing makeup than with ABC. Many will love this but I'll have to start searching other brands for my perfect foundation.

For a super-light foundation, you're not going to find anything better anywhere. The shades are gorgeous (there's a high likelihood you will find a match even though there are only four offerings -- it blends with your skin). The non-chemical sunscreen is also great for people whose eyes react badly to chemical sunscreen. If you don't need or like heavier foundations, this is THE BEST option on the market.

I love this sunscreen. As an added plus is acts as a BB cream. As someone who has skin cancer (twice) the high SPF is a blessing. Paula, please keep making this -- it has such a lovely finish. Thanks so much!!

I bought a sample of this and love it! Light coverage but very good tone-evening, and it passes the "broad daylight" test; even in broad daylight, my skin looks natural with this product on. It's excellent for wrinkles as it doesn't settle into them, and when paired with the PC anti-shine lotion, gives a great look to my face. It doesn't smear or vanish or settle into cracks, it doesn't look powdery, and it doesn't feel like make-up. Can't wait to buy the big bottle!

Initially, I thought this product was going to work for me. I have rosacea as well as very oily, very sensitive, fair skin. The first few days, it seemed okay, but I got shiner throughout the day. After about ten days, my face became flushed and itchy. I stopped using it and my face was immediately better. I'm very disappointed since I was looking for something to replace my favorite foundation, which has been discontinued. I am allergic to chemical sunscreens, hoped I could use this.

Before ordering I emailed to find out which of Paula's choice products were vegan, and I was impressed at the prompt response (though it would be nice if this was listed in the products description on the website!). This tinted moisturizer is my new favourite. I don't look or feel like I'm wearing anything, but my skin looks naturally perfect (and is protected with SPF!), not to mention it feels soft, smooth and matte. I definitely appreciate that it is non-scented.

Customer service graciously sent me samples of both Barely There and All Bases. First my skin is Mac NC15, so the level 1 works best. In my impatience I ordered level 3. Well, level 1 is great, SPF 30 and covers like a tinted moisturizer. Level 3 which I ordered although too dark for me blends completely away with zero coverage, completely sheer, and although I can wear it, it would only be for the SPF 30. Color comparison: Level 1 & Nude(ABC) are pretty close. Fawn lighter than level 4

I bought some samples of the Sheer Matte Tint in Level 2 I used it today for the first time. I've been using Paula's skincare religiously for six months. I was at the Macy's cosmetic counter retuning makeup, and the salesman asked why I was returning the products, and I said that I just turned 50 years old, and had a gift card, and...well before I could finish, he said "What? 50? You are not!" and I said "Oh, yes I am." He didn't believe me. He said my skin looked fabulous! Thank you, Paula!

Unfortunately, this made my combo/oily skin even more oily. I cannot use this. I think now I have tried all Paula's Choice sunscreen variations, and all of them make me oily. Paula - If you're reading this - A dupe of Shiseido Urban Environment Oil-Free UV Protector SPF 42 would be AWESOME! Now that's an SPF I can use that does not make me oily.

I wanted to give a BB cream a try but found it hard to find a color that matched mine. I ordered level 4. This product goes on so smoothly and feels like I am not wearing any make up. The fact that it has SPF and is not animal tested just makes me love it that much more.

Please bring back the old product. The old product went on smooth and light and the color was just right. The new product is too much red and is thick and pasty looking. When I used the new product, two friends asked if I were sick. Another friend noticed that I was wearing make up and said that my old make up looked more natural. I appreciate the titanium and zinc oxide only formula, but if I want more protection, I use sunscreen underneath my make up. The old formula was light and sheer.

I have fair skin and tried level 1 and level 2... level one was a bit too light but level 2 disappeared into my skin. I will continue to buy this. Makes my skin feel just right and look great, you can tell when Im not wearing it so I have begun to make the extra effort in the morning, so this product also made me less lazy, haha! Thank you Paula, as always!

I have been looking for a facial SPF that doesn't leave any sort of white residue or cause me to look like a grease slick after a few hours (I have extremely oily skin). I am very impressed with the Barely There Tint not only for its high SPF but for how amazing my skin looks hours after application. Evens out skin tone, provides SPF, leaves a great matte finish and helps my skin, all-in-all, my new favorite product!

Great coverage, went on nicely...but after a couple days of using it, I started to break out a little. I LOVE all of Paula's choice products and have never had any problems. But Unfortunately I won't be finishing this bottle with the fear that breakouts will get worse. This was the only change in my skincare routine, so I know it was this specific product. I will still always continue to use Paula's choice products, they are amazing.

I have oily skin that gets dry in some areas due to my use of Retin-A. It is difficult for me to find an SPF product that doesn't add extra products to my routine (which will make me greasy). This tinted moisturizer with SPF is an amazing multi-tasker for my oily, acne prone skin. It dries with a really nice matte finish and has just enough tint to blur imperfections. I still apply concealer and powder (also PC) but with just three steps my skin looks flawless!

One of the best multi-tasking products I've ever used! I use this in the lightest shade 1; works perfectly. Shade is not too yellow; pink, or orange, like a lot of other inferior makeup products. I LOVE that this has a high SPF of 30. It's my daily moisturizer, spf, and makeup tint all in one step!! Has decent sheer coverage, dries quickly and is not greasy, even on my oily t-zone. Can't imagine being without it; will definitely repurchase! Even bought one for my mom as a gift!

I was using Barely There Sheer Matte tint in the old formulation which was always too dark for me. I loved the feel and coverage so I tolerated the shade but always wanted a better match for my skin because it never looked perfect due to being too dark on my skin. The new shade of Level 1 is absolutely perfect for my very fair skintone. When my new tube arrived & I saw the new shade, it brightened my day and now I'll love putting it on. PLEASE do not ever discontinue this product and shade.
