How to Use
Activate. Develop. Set. Dispense onto fingertips and rub gently to release and activate encapsulated pigments. As the shade begins to develop from white to your shade, apply to moisturized face and continue to blend for even coverage. Watch as it adjusts to your skin to immediately blur imperfections and even skin tone. The shade is fully developed when product is no longer white. Allow 1-2 minutes for shade to adjust completely. Set with one of our Total Protection brush-on sunscreens or follow with foundation for full-color coverage. Pro Tip: Layer underneath your foundation for fuller color coverage or use with Face Shield Glow or Face Shield Bronze to enhance your look. One and Done: Evenly apply one layer to entire face, including under eyes for a look that’s naturally you and powerfully protected. The Foundation Replacer: Build your coverage to your ideal level of flawless perfection. After applying your first layer, wait 1 minute before applying another layer.

It measures the amount of time a product would protect your skin from darkening.
The following shows how much protection each PA score provides compared to unprotected skin. If your unprotected skin normally darkens/pigments after 5 min of UVA exposure:
PA Rating | Level of Protection | # of minutes protected before experiencing skin darkening/pigmentation |
---|---|---|
PA+ | 2-4 times | 10-20 minutes |
PA++ | 4-8 times | 20-40 minutes |
PA+++ | 8-16 times | 40-80 minutes |
PA++++ | >16 times | >80 minutes |
Total Protection™ Face Shield Flex SPF 50 has a PA++++ rating.
I have tried the flex in fair and medium. The fair is too light, the medium is far too orange. I am of polish heritage, fair but not pale (probably Fitzpatrick type 3). I blended both colours together to get the right tint which is too much faff to do each time. Personally for me the suncream feels too wet and heavy on my face when applied in the correct amount, kind of like a foundation. Would prefer a matte option (tried matte face shield but it is too orange). Overall it wore quite well throughout the day. Not sure if I would repurchase due to price and it not being an ideal shade and product overall.
I have received so many compliments on my complexion since wearing this product, it really has made such a difference in my everyday routine. Knowing my skin looks beautiful and I’m protecting it too feels great. I’ve already ordered 2 more for family members.
Positives: Good colour match. Cool trick to see the colour develop on your fingertips. Good coverage. Negatives: Still looks like a mask. Need good moisturiser as the Flex SPF is very drying. Seems like it is designed so that you ought to buy other products from the range to create appropriate shade and set it with powder SPF. Plus something else for re-application. Overall, I had high hopes and they were crushed. If I use the correct amount of this SPF then it moves around a lot and doesn't sink in. I was hoping for reduced efforts in achieving an even skin tone but now I have to add other products (spf) and make up to get what I wanted in the first place. I also do not like the scare mongering tactics in that the company says that only mineral SPF will provide sun protection and all chemical/synthetic SPFs won't cut it as they absorb the rays. I would give this a miss.
An incredible product doesn't make eyes water like any other spf can't wait to purchase so much more products from this company
I really like this product, is great for my sensitive skin and the tint helps cover my redness!
