Reviews For SkinCeuticals Sheer Physical UV Defense Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50
kind of dry
Leaves white marks, but not very obvious. Feels a little dry after several hours. Has some granules, not very smooth.

Great face sunscreen
I meant to order the tinted version which I prefer, but I accidentally ordered this. I love to use this for my face or put it on my neck and decelerate because I don’t want to have a tint there. It’s really identical to the tinted version. If you rub it in enough and let it soak into your skin there is no white cast, and it doesn’t pile when I put my makeup on. I will always buy this.

Years of use prove this is excellent product
I have used this sunscreen daily for years. It is easy to apply. It is transparent. I use it after SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic and Moisturizing B5 Gel. I top it with moisturizer. The layer of sunscreen lasts all day unless I am exercising or swimming. Strongly recommend!

SkinCeuticals makes the best sunscreen.
I have been using SkinCeuticals skin care products for years. This is the best sunscreen around. It sinks in quickly and does not leave a white cast like others. And most important, does not melt and run into your eyes. The 50 SPF is nice and high, so it can do what it is supposed to do. Protect. Like all the SkinCeuticals line, I highly recommend it.

hands down the best
I've tried many, many sunscreen products, and this is my all time favorite. It's moisturizing without being greasy or shiny. In fact, it leaves my skin with a subtle glow. The tint is a perfect, flattering shade which fades into my skin. Plus, I've had no irritation or pilling. Love it...it's perfection!

Great sun protection
I am a tennis player and I usually spend hours daily in the sun during my matches, I need a good sunscreen. What I like about SkinCeuticals Sheer Defense is that it gives me the protection that I need without giving me breakouts, I have tried so many different brands, and this so far works perfect for my oily skin complexion.

Great Sunscreen
This was recommended to me by a Doctor about 10 years ago. I have sensitive, acne-prone skin, and I wasn't using sunscreen. I love how this goes on and absorbs quickly. People say it leave a white file. I have never had that issue. I have tried all kinds and also go back to this. It is a little pricey, but it lasts a while. I would highly recommend this.

Sheer Formula, High SPF
Provides SPF 50 in a sheer, rapidly absorbed, non-greasy formula that does not leave a white cast or transfer to clothes! This has become my go-to summertime SPF for face and neck. Recommend applying this sunscreen after a moisturizer and reapplying throughout the day if getting exposed to the sun. I have not experienced pilling or flaking when reapplying up to 3 times a day (without makeup).

Sheer, light, and soaks in quickly
I previously used La Roche Posay sunscreen fluid, and am switching to this product, as the La Roche Posay product turns my skin yellow (might attract pollen, I'm not sure). Anyway, I like this product because it goes on smoothly, is non-greasy, absorbs quickly, and has a higher SPF than most products. I have very fair skin, and this has done a good job at preventing any burns or freckles. There is a slight chemical smell when it goes on, but it's not bothersome (I'm very sensitive to scents), and goes away as quickly as it goes on your skin. Will be buying again for sure.

Blends in well, minimal white cast
I ordered this sunscreen by mistake as I meant to order the tinted version instead. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it blends in well despite having no tint, and makeup (both liquid and powder) applies well over top with no pilling, and there’s very minimal white cast. It has a smooth texture, though is a bit runny so you have to be careful. When first applied it looks a little white, but you have to let it sink in a minute or two before applying makeup. This has a very lightweight feel and no scent. I could not tell I was wearing sunscreen at all. I have very sensitive, somewhat oily skin and this didn’t cause any breakouts or irritation. I am super pleased with this sunscreen and I can’t wait to try the tinted version once I have finished my bottle. The only gripe I have is the price. It’s quite costly for such a small bottle. I only use this sunscreen for going to work and my cheaper sunscreen on weekends. I recommend this sunscreen if you want a lightweight feel and no irritating sensitivity.

Best facial sunscreen
I have used sunscreens on my face for over 30 years. This is by far my favorite product. It is a physical sunscreen which I prefer rather than using chemicals. The majority of physical sunscreens are heavy and leave a white film. This is an extremely lightweight lotion, is slightly tinted and leaves no film at all. Goes on smoothly as the last step in my facial regimen before putting on foundation. I use it every day.

Gave it 4 stars because the ingredients % is not as high as I expected.
As a mineral sunscreen, I would think it has more than 10% of the active ingredients. But I found out that it has about 5% and it's not strong enough. Maybe the brand designed it this way for sensitive skin concerns, but I wish it was stronger. Overall a good product.

Love this sunscreen!
This is the best subsceen that I have come across! I use it everyday and when kayaking in the summer. It protects and does not irritate my skin. I use it with or without foundation.

Lightweight Sunscreen
I was introduced to this product following an FX Laser treatment. This was recommended to me by my skin care clinic and was one of the items they sent me home with to protect my new "baby" skin. I have used it continuously for months now with good results. Squeeze out a nickel-sized pool of this white sunscreen into your palm, then apply after your daily moisturizer and before applying foundation or powder. Apply with a light touch. The white color disappears right away. Great weightless coverage.

A bit white
I purchased this by mistake since I usually use the tinted formula. I decided to keep it since I can never have too much sunscreen. For my face the formula leaves a white cast, unlike the tinted version. I use this for my neck and chest since it’s not as obvious. I love the tinted version.

SkinCeuticals Sheer Physical UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 50
As a woman with acne prone skin and a true desire to maintain my youthful appearance by protecting my skin from damaging UV rays, it is a challenge to find a product that does not leave my skin irritated, break me out, or look chalky. This product is a physical sunscreen that reflects harmful UV rays with excellent ingredients. The texture is silky smooth and has a low viscosity. It feels like putting water on the skin. Always shake the bottle vigorously prior to application. If applied correctly, this will not leave a chalky finish. Additionally, this product is noncomedogenic (will not break you out) and is ideal for daily usage, in addition, to use for vacations, etc. I bought this product for daily use and for a recent trip to Mexico. I have zero complaints. I can layer makeup directly on top of the sunscreen without affecting the look or feel of other products. This product is worth its weight in gold. Highly recommend for its efficacy, matte and light weight finish, and ability to use daily without causing breakouts.

Best Face Sunscreen Ever
My skin has always been sensitive, but has become much more so as I age and have developed rosacea. This is hands down the best facial sunscreen product I've tried, because even though it only contains physical sunscreens, it still has a light consistency that spreads easily and disappears into the skin. I prefer the tinted version because it is just the right amount of color to eliminate the need for rubbing in the "white" of the zinc but once adequately blended, the non-tinted version is also great!
