Our most-requested skinscreen ever, Lean Screen is a zinc-only mineral SPF50+ that doesn’t look or feel gross on the skin. That’s right, it won’t feel heavy, you won’t look like a cricketer, and sensitive skin won’t have a bitch fit. You’re welcome!
Been searching high and low for a mineral-only SPF that you’ll actually want to wear? Our Lean Screen, with her zinc-only SPF50+, fragrance-free formula, hits different. She won’t make your skin all sticky, yucky or heavy, but she will soothe sensitive types and leave a subtle matte finish in her wake – perfect for anyone with oily or reactive skin, or those that just prefer a physical sunscreen.
Every damn day, even when you’re staying indoors (srsly we mean it)! Apply as the final step in your skincare routine, right after your moisturiser and before your makeup. We recommend at least five pumps to cover your face and ears (don’t forget about those!).
Key Ingredients:
Zinc – Nothing more, nothing less. Zinc oxide protects your skin from UVA and UVB rays while working as a soothing anti-inflammatory to reactive, angry skin.
Pentavitin – Think of this plant-derived ingredient as a refreshing hit of hydration for your face, so you’re moisturising and protecting it at the same time. Side effects include plump, juicy skin and a solid sense of self-satisfaction.
Kakadu Plum – Did you know this Aussie native has 50 times more vitamin C than an orange? Allow us to be Kakadu Plum’s hype girl for a sec – she’s hydrating, she’s brightening and she’s chock-full of antioxidants. Consider KP that gal at the bar who watches your drink when you go to the bathroom – she’ll guard your skin against all those annoying free radicals that just love to hassle your pretty face (nope, not on her watch!).

I use a few of the UV products but this is by far my fave. It took a second to get used to the consistency but I love it now and am amazed that they have been able to make a zinc 50+ that is so invisible once on. I feel like the unofficial promotor for UV as I make everyone wear it!
This is a really effective sunscreen, which I've repurchased a few times now, but I'm not convinced about how "mattifying" this is. I have oily skin and this has definitely stopped breakouts that I would usually get from wearing sunscreen everyday, doesn't leave any white cast on my face, and plays well with makeup if I let it settle for 5+ minutes first. BUT, it feels like it acts like a second layer over my skin, and the second I sweat at all (which is ALWAYS in summer) it feels like the whole thing slides off. Also leaves a slightly tacky feel all over my skin, and I've noticed basically no reduction in oil throughout the day. In fact, after switching to Supreme Screen (which my partner uses), I find this works a little better at controlling oil (maybe by ADDING moisture to combat over-production? who knows). Still one of the best facial sunscreens I've found, but I guess you can't expect it to be perfect.
Nice and thick, but absorbs nicely into skin and feels nice and lux
great product, love the feel and goes on really well and absorbs easily.
Only thing I didn't like was that its hard to get out of the pump because its thick. Otherwise the product itself is lovely
Leaves my skin looking super matte and doesn't clog my pores
