When it comes to combining clinical-grade skincare with everyday wearability, Colorescience stands out. Known for their mineral sunscreens and multitasking formulas, the brand makes it easy to protect your skin while addressing common concerns like dryness, discoloration, and signs of aging.
Whether you're just starting with Colorescience or looking to expand your routine, here’s a breakdown of their top products that makes sense for daily use. Whether you're focusing on specific areas or looking for all-over coverage, this guide will help you choose the smartest sun protection and skin support.
1. Peptide Lip Shine SPF 30 – Your Must-Have for Lip Care and Sun Defense
Why it’s number 1: The skin on your lips is thinner and more prone to sun damage than the rest of your face. That’s why Peptide Lip Shine SPF 30 is a standout—it’s not just cosmetic, it’s functional skincare.
Now with double the peptides, this lip treatment is formulated with hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, and a powerful blend of peptides to smooth texture, lock in moisture, and give lips a fuller appearance over time. The sheer, wearable shades offer a polished look while delivering SPF 30 protection with all-mineral filters.
Available in:
Pink: our most popular shade with a vibrant pop of classic color
Coral: a playful peach with golden shimmer
Champagne: a light beige-pink that complements all skin tones
Rose: a soft mauve with subtle shimmer
Savanna (new!): a warm pinky-brown nude for an effortlessly refined finish
Expert tip: Apply regularly throughout the day—most people forget to reapply SPF to the lips, making this both practical and protective.
2. Total Eye 3-in-1 Renewal Therapy SPF 35 – Targeted Support for the Eye Area
The delicate skin around your eyes needs specialized care. Total Eye 3-in-1 Renewal Therapy SPF 35 is an all-in-one treatment that helps minimize the look of dark circles, puffiness, fine lines, and wrinkles, while shielding the area with 100% mineral SPF 35.
It also offers a subtle tint to immediately brighten and even the skin tone—perfect for wearing alone or under concealer.
Why it’s worth it: Most people skip sunscreen under the eyes—this solves that problem and improves the look of tired eyes over time.
3. Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Flex SPF 50 – Tinted Coverage + Environmental Defense
If you want a daily SPF that looks like makeup but acts like skincare, this is the one to reach for. The Face Shield Flex SPF 50 offers tone-adapting pigments that adjust to your natural skin tone as you blend, providing light to medium coverage with a soft, demi-matte finish.
The formula uses Colorescience’s patented EnviroScreen Technology to protect against UVA/UVB, pollution, blue light, and infrared radiation. Plus, it’s enriched with antioxidants and hydrating ingredients to support skin barrier health.
Great for: Replacing your foundation with something that actively supports your skin.
4. Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Glow SPF 50 – A Subtle Boost for Dull Skin
For those who prefer a more luminous finish, the Face Shield Glow SPF 50 offers the same broad-spectrum protection as the Flex version, but with a soft, pearlescent sheen that helps boost the appearance of skin that looks dull, tired, or dry.
Like all Colorescience sunscreens, it’s powered by mineral filters and antioxidant protection, making it suitable for all skin types—even sensitive.
Pro tip: Use it alone or layer it over the Flex formula to add dimension without shimmer.
5. Sunforgettable Total Protection Brush-On Shield Glow SPF 50 – SPF You Can Reapply Over Makeup
This brush-on mineral powder SPF is ideal for on-the-go reapplication, especially if you wear makeup. In addition to providing broad-spectrum SPF 50, it also adds a soft touch of luminosity to the skin, thanks to light-reflecting particles.
It’s mess-free, portable, and easy to use—no excuses not to reapply your SPF.
Why it matters: Reapplying sunscreen every two hours is essential. This makes it realistic.
6. Sunforgettable Total Protection Color Balm SPF 50 – A Multitasking Tint for Lips, Cheeks, and Eyes
This multitasking balm offers a buildable wash of color while protecting against environmental stressors with SPF 50. The creamy, blendable formula is ideal for the lips, cheeks, or eyelids—and it’s water- and sweat-resistant for up to 80 minutes.
Choose from:
Berry: deep raspberry
Blush: pink-toned nude
Bronze: warm golden shimmer
Golden Hour: coral with a pearlescent finish
Violet Haze: soft pink-purple
Pink Sky: rosy pink
Expert tip: Great for travel or simplifying your routine—one stick can do it all.
