Reviews For SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense Tinted Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50
Really great sunscreen for the face
This product was recommended to me by the staff at my dermatologists office. I wanted an effective sunscreen that I could trust to actually protect my skin. The tint is an added bonus. It does not provide coverage like a foundation makeup, it just seems to give my skin an added brightness or glow that makes foundation makeup unnecessary for me. This is great as I like a very natural look. Skinceuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50 goes on like a rather thin lotion and takes no time at all to be absorbed into my skin, leaving just the little bit of coverage I mentioned above. I really like this as so many sunscreens using zinc and titanium as the active ingredient never really absorb, leaving white creases anyplace I have a crease and also leaving a very greasy feeling. You dont get this with Skinceuticals. Since it doesnt function like foundation makeup, there isnt any problem with additional applications during the day. I would recommend this product to anyone who cares about their skin. It also helps that I have had more nice comments about my skin since using this product than with any other product Ive used.

sunscreen product
I like this product. It goes on very smoothly and the tint is not too heavy. It doesnt seem like a lot of product for the price.

Great Sunscreen
This is my second or third bottle. I like it because it goes on easy and does not feel greasy when dried. Does not give a lot of coverage like a foundation, but you know its there. Great for when you need to run an errand and dont want to apply makeup, but be protected from the sun.

Best spf 50 moisturizer ever
If you are looking for a high spf rating, this moisturizer cant be beat. It is thin, shear, and will not clog your pores or feel greasy. It also has a nice light tint to help even out your skin tone. I wish I had discovered it years ago. It may seem pricey, but its worth every penny and the bottle will last you a long time.

Complete Protection
This product is the only one that protects my skin from the sun and does not encourage breakouts. Itss so sheer, youd think the product would not protect against the Southeastern sun...but it does. It keeps pores clean and clear and the tinted version gives a bit of color. Excellent coverage without the white chalkiness of products with equal protection.

Cosmetically Elegant Physical Sunscreen
I would say this suits fair to medium complexions. I like that it provides light coverage and evens out my skin tone, so I dont need to wear any make-up. The only reason I didnt give it a 5 is because it occasionally stings a bit. I find La Roche Posay Tinted Mineral sunscreen to be gentler for my sensitive skin but that one is too dark for my complexion.

Great tinted sunscreen
Started using this product in June. Had read the reviews and thought it would be a good product. I have since ordered 2 more bottles for I use it daily. Living in So. CA you need to use sunscreen all the time. Besides my face I apply it to my neck, chest and hands. I feel it has helped to prevent further sun damage. The price is good for this quality product from Skinceuticals.

Great product!
This is my favorite sunscreen/tinted moisturizer. It is a little runny but goes on smoothly and the coverage is great. Blends in nicely and stays on throughout the day.

Favorite daily use sunscreen ever!
Im only giving this product 4 stars because while it is far and away the best facial sunscreen Ive ever used (besides a discontinued other Skinceuticals sunscreen product hmph), its not quite perfect. First the good: I have fair combination, slightly sensitive skin. While this products tint will not work for darker skin tones, it works beautifully on mine. It does this amazing thing Ive never encountered before - it mattifies and evens out my skin tone while giving it the subtlest glow. As someone who does not need to wear foundation and just has some light acne scarring and blackheads, it truly makes my skin look beautiful. I also enjoy the coverage - more liquidy than most sunscreens but it makes it easier to blend in as well. The only thing I would change about this product (it really should just be 1/2 a star off) is that if my skin is a little dry or flaky, its more noticeable that Im wearing a tinted lotion. But all in all, this product is amazing. Truly my favorite beauty product!

good product
I like this sunscreen because it is not super oily like most other sunscreens and it stays on all day. I work a job where I am out in the sun and on my feet all day. I sweat a lot and this doesnt drip off. I hardly ever re apply, like I should, and I rarely get a sunburn though. Other sunscreens, if you dont reapply you will definitely get a sunburn. This sunscreen comes out in a liquid like form, its not like a lotion like consistency like most sunscreens. I like that! It spreads easy and soaks in / dries quickly. I have found that if my skin is irritated or if I have exfoliated, this sunscreen can sting a lot. It happens rarely, but it happens, so I thought I should mention it. Its not enough to keep me from using it though. Lately I have been using it with a powdered sunscreen, just to set it more, and because I dont reapply throughout the day. By the way, my dermatologist recommended this product to me. She uses it herself and she has super fair skin.

Best Sports Sun Screen Yet
I am on my second bottle of this sun screen and absolutely love it! It is especially good for people who spend a lot of time on outdoor sports like I do. I love that it doesnt give you a "white face" when you load it on but just nicely covers your skin. It is also very water and sweat proof. In fact after a 2 to 3 hour bike ride in the heat it is still in tact with complete coverage.

Great sunscreen
I usually hate the way sunscreen feels on my face, as a result I sometimes didnt wear it (My dermatologist would kill me if she knew that) This sunscreen , however is so light and easy to rub in. i have no problem applying my makeup afterwards. I bought 2 when I purchased it and Im glad I did.

So far the best Ive found
Ive been searching for a good suntan lotion for the face of a long, long time. Ive had multiple bouts of basal cell skin cancer and need a high SPF. I HATE when lotions make my face feel all greasy and dirty. Most lotions are too heavy, too smelly, make my skin look too white, and/or sting my face. So far, I really like this lotion. I can tell I have it on, but its not too heavy or greasy. I like the light tint it has, and so it definitely doesnt make my skin look white. I did have a slight irritation on my neck. Im not really sure if it was from the lotion, but my neck is super, super sensitive. I would have rated this a 5 star review if it werent for that, but again, I cannot be sure that the irritation was from the lotion. Either way, Ill still use it on my face. I also love that it has natural ingredients. Ive read that all these chemicals in most suntan lotions actually CAUSE skin cancer rather than prevent it. Usually when I purchase a zinc based lotion, it is super heavy/greasy and does not absorb into the skin very well. Not true for this product.

First tinted sun protector i really like!
I am so happy with this sunscreen. The tint is perfect! It doesnt have the heavy coverage a lot of other brands i have experienced. This is a nice smooth coverage that is not noticable except when i look in the mirror and my skin shows fewer an dless noticable sun/age spots.

Best sunscreen
Absorbs into skin quickly. No sticky feeling. The tint helps give your skin a natural glow so you dont need to wear foundation or loose powder at all!

BEST SUNSCREEN EVER!!!
Absorbs into skin quickly. The tint helps give your skin a natural glow so you dont need to wear foundation, but if you want the fuller coverage of a foundation this product will not affect your makeup and I have oily skin. Give it a try and you wont be disappointed.

Perfect, but broke me out
I really wanted to love this product. Besides the size of the bottle (tiny for the price), I loved everything about it. The sunscreen feels oily when you first apply it but within a minute, you feel nothing but dry, soft, skin. No glaring shine, and definitely none of the unflattering white translucence you get from other sunscreen. I also felt that the little tint it had also somewhat covered up my redness. Could be used a a primer! BUT. A day after I started using this sunscreen, I started getting zits, small and large, painful and not painful, all over my face. I have a somewhat sensitive skin and cant use certain products like Bobbi Brown (another unfortunate..) without breaking out but hadnt expected this one to break me out. I stopped using the product after the first day and within 2 days, most of the zits are gone. So I had correctly identified this sunscreen as the zit-producing factor. I read somewhere after purchasing this product that it contains some ingredients that can clog pores. Perhaps those are the culprits.

Love it!
I got this stuff last week and I love it! I have oily and olive skin this just the sunscreen I was looking for. The sunscreen can be used as foundation during the summer and works well enough.

Love this sunscreen
This is great sunscreen. Its thin enough so that it doesnt feel heavy. The tint doesnt give any real coverage but seems to even the skin tone slightly. Overall I love this and it feels very gentle for my skin.

Excellent sunscreen
I love this sunscreen. It does not have the strong smell that most sunscreens have. It is not heavy and sticky, but rather very fluid and easy to spread evenly. I love the tinted color which makes it feel and look more like a tinted moisturizer than a sunscreen. It gives excellent protection. I would definitely purchase this product again.
