Reviews For SkinCeuticals Physical Matte UV Defense Tinted Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50
Not enough coverage
I have combination skin with minor post acne marks and a few occasional break outs, few wrinkles. SPF 50 makes me feel safe. I like the tint, but it’s not enough coverage for me. As many noted, the smell is not pleasant, but it doesn’t linger and makes me feel good that I’m using non-perfume skin care. The matte effect is working for me when worn over non-oily moisturizer. I feel that it’s quite small for the price and won’t last long for my use. Probably won’t repurchase.

Weird smell
This sunscreen is a winner in every area, except the weird, stinky smell. I love that it gives my skin light coverage and is great under makeup. It's lightweight and non-greasy, but I do recommend you giving it a shake because if not, it can come out of the tube a little runny. For all these reasons, I keep using it, but if I could find a sunscreen that does all that WITHOUT the bad smell, I would switch in a heartbeat.

Nice Product!
Not heavy or greasy feeling at all. Works nicely under make up. Helps protect your skin from the sun. Also has a nice light tint. I will sometimes skin foundation and just use this if running errands or something that doesn’t require a full face of make up.

Great coverage but smells bad
I have used this for several years. It’s an everyday sunscreen. In the winter, I add a bit of moisturizer. However, this tube had an odor that I don’t care for. It almost smells like feet. I will continue to use it since the odor dissipates but will maybe order straight from the manufacturer in hopes it will be fresher and not have a bad odor

Easy-to-spread, natural-looking matte finish
Love the light, smooth, easy-to-spread texture and matte finish that looks natural on my skin and takes the place of foundation. I use over SkinMedica TNS serum and sometimes with moisturizer as a second step if skin feels dry.

Very oily
Perhaps my tube was a bad one, but it was very oily. When I squeezed some out, there was always a halo of oil around a colored paste. I had used this a few years back and really liked it. I can't use in the summer, as it's too oily for my oily skin. I'll use this winter and look for something similar without the oil.

Good...but...
This product definitely makes your skin matte. However, on darker skin tones it could leave a white cast and look a bit ashy. Tried it but didn't love it to purchase it again

Love how matte this stuff is, it makes your skin look so smooth!
I received a sample from Lovely Skin of this sunscreen and fell in love with it! It's like a base and sunscreen in one. I put in on everyday and then put on powder and bronzer. I love how my skin looks with it one. If you skin is dry like mine, I recommend a moisturizer underneath. Me: 48 year old chick

Physical sunblock
I purchased this matte sunblock for the first time. It works. I don't love the grainy feel of the product when it is applied. It feels like sand. I also disliked the smell. I am going back to the sheer physical fusion formula.

fights sun rays
The cream is thick and hard to spread, but I hope that it covers my face.

Great facial sunscreen
I use this sunscreen everyday on my face. It has a texture like a high quality primer. It does not make my face shiny and it glides over pores. It has a nice tint that blends perfectly. I skip foundation.

My favorite physical sunscreen
For me this just works. It's light, sheer, mattifying, and the tint gives my skin a smooth, even look. Very happy with this product.

Great Product
The employee gave me a few samples of this product in the store and it's great. It goes on dry, hides my pores under my powder foundation and sometimes I wear it by itself without foundation. It was so nice of them to give me 3 or 4 samples so I could really try it for a little over a week to make sure I liked it. This store is ALWAYS so nice about doing this is they have samples - unlike some department stores. The staff is always so knowledgeable and friendly and never rushes anyone. They will always tell me about a special if they can save me money. I never go anywhere else.

Great for oily skin!
This matifying moisturizer with sunscreen is the best! Really helps control excess oil while it moisturizes and protects.

Defense plus foundation
SkinCeuticals Matte UV Defense SPF 50 has replaced my traditional foundation. Skin protection and a matte finish that does not leave my complexion glossy is a real plus to me. It is long lasting as well. I have tried others but they don't compare.

Skinceuticals Physical Matte UV defense spf 50
I got this because I don't use foundation, but I like a something to even out my skin tone. I use Dr. Jart spf 50 tinted sunscreen and it is a bit light for summer, so I thought maybe the Skinceuticals tinted would have a bit more color. It does, but it was a too drying for my skin. I have oily skin, but this was too matte even for me.
