Kinship Self Reflect Sunscreen Review: Is This the Best Mineral Sunscreen for Sensitive and Acne-Prone Skin?
When I first stumbled upon Kinship Self Reflect Sunscreen, it sounded like a dream come true for my acne-prone skin. At the time, I was making do with the few mineral sunscreens that I could find, but I didn’t love how most of them heavy, looked greasy, and left a white cast. And even though I’d never skip SPF, I often wondered if my sunscreen was clogging my pores.
That’s why I was intrigued by Kinship’s formula. It promised a lightweight, non-greasy feel, and that it wouldn’t cause breakouts—all while protecting my skin with a high level of zinc oxide. It didn’t take me long to order a tube to try out!
Soon after that, a bunch of other mineral sunscreens landed on the market with similar textures and finishes. So does Kinship Self Reflect still measure up?
Keep reading to find out whether it lives up to its claims, and whether you should try it.
