Reviews For SkinMedica Essential Defense Mineral Shield Broad Spectrum SPF 35
I like this sunscreen
I had been using the Skin Medica Total Defense + Repair for a long time. I wanted to try a physical block only, so after reading reviews, I decided on the Essential Defense Mineral Shield. So far, I like how it is not as thick and goes on very easily. I am happy with this purchase.

Great Sun Screen!
I live in the heat of Arizona where the sun is always shining. Sunscreen is a must. In this extreme sun, the type of sunscreen matters. You don't need a lot. It spreads evenly and easily. It doesn't feel greasy at all, and absorbs really fast. It seems that I get all day coverage.

Superior product
I have been looking for the perfect mineral sunscreen for my skin. This one is fantastic! I use it on days I know I will be exposed to the sun quite a bit. It’s also wonderful for my children because it has a sort of consistency that lasts on the skin for a good while. It doesn’t make me break out, get rashy or itch. It’s a winner for me!

Good SPF35
It is good so far. It doesn’t make my skin to oily. It is first to use this bland and I can say I like it very much so.

Lightweight, Non-irritating
This is an elegant sunscreen with a light non- greasy feel that did not irritate my sensitive skin and more importantly did not clog pores the way physical sunscreen ingredients often do. It absorbs easily into the skin.

The Jam!
This non-tinted version is great to keep on hand; I keep an extra in my car and golf bag in case I forget or need another layer later in the day. It’s very moisturizing, does not clog pores, and has never pilled or caused any issues under makeup. All around, the best sunscreen line I’ve found... price is in the middle-top range of what I’ve tried previously, and it’s worth it... especially for the natural sun blockers and coverage.

Nice...
I like this non-tinted sunscreen...especially on neck and chest area. Non-staining and the whiteness that appears when it is first applied disappears immediately.

Perfect face sunscreen
I’ve tried many brands of sunscreen but this is my favorite. It’s a physical not chemical type, which I prefer since it doesn’t degrade as quickly. It doesn’t irritate skin or eyes. Doesn’t cause breakouts. Doesn’t leave a ghostly white cast. It’s not drying, though sometimes I add a moisturizing serum to it. It isn’t greasy and does not leave a shine. Great everyday protection under makeup or on its own. I also love the easy dispenser.

great for sensitive, mature skin
I love trying different sunscreens, and this one is a favorite for me. It doesn't leave a cast on my skin (fair skin tone) and it is not drying. It's also not overly greasy. works well under makeup or on its own.

awesome sunscreen for sensitive skin!
This is my favorite sunscreen. It's not greasy. It's moisturizing. It's non-irritating, and it didn't break me out! I have very sensitive, break-out prone skin, and I literally forget that I have it on. Amazing!!

Great sunscreen
This sunscreen does not leave a white tinge on my skin, nor does it affect the application of foundation. Love it!

Good Sunscreen
This is a good sunscreen. It melts into the skin and is not sticky. It doesn't plug my pores. I never get burned or darken when I use this sunscreen.

Best mineral sunscreen
I have used a lot of sunscreens -- both mineral and chemical. I am always looking for the perfect sunscreen that protects my skin and does not give me a chalky white coating on my face. I prefer mineral sunscreens over chemical. I have tried many but, this one is my favorite for my face. It goes on smoothly, does not feel drying, leaves no chalky white coating and is not shiny. It is great cosmetically as well as providing the sun protection I need. It is a great base for foundation if I choose to wear it.

Best sunscreen ever
My skin HATES sunscreen. What doesn't give me a rash, makes me break out. I even tried several that were deemed for acne-prone or rosacea (including the #1 selling brand) and my skin revolted. I also have melasma and I am 42 so sunscreen is not optional - ever. This is the only thing I have found that stays on, plays nicely with make-up and doesn't ruin my skin. I've ordered several bottles to be sure I am never out.
