Reviews For SkinMedica Essential Defense Mineral Shield Broad Spectrum SPF 35
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!!

Best natural sunscreen
This is great for mature skin. Goes on smooth, doesn’t set into lines. It’s perfect for my skin tone. Does a great job in control oil.

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

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.

Exceeded expectations
This is a very good sunscreen product. It goes on very well over the HA5 Hydrator and does not "pill" when layered under foundation. I have mature, sensitive skin and have had no sensitivity issues. Love that it is a physical sunscreen as I never use chemical sunscreen on my face.

Love it!
Love this sunscreen and so I used it every morning :-). Doesn't irritate my skin, doesn't cause breakouts, and best of all doesn't leave a white chalky layer. I think my skin looks better when I put it on. I got a free sample at a dermatology event and now I'm hooked!

Great sunscreen for sensitive skin
Very light and not oily. I love the way it feels on my skin. I wear it under my makeup and it feels that my makeup stays longer because of this. Small drop goes a long way.

Excellent sunscreen for sensitive skin!
This is my second purchase. The product lasts a long time which makes it a good purchase despite the small size and cost. I have very sensitive skin, and this sunscreen does not irritate my face. It goes on smoothly and is not greasy. I will continue to buy this product. LovelySkin always has great sales on products and the customer service is beyond compare–a rare thing to find as of late.

Light and effective
This SPF cream is perfectly light for my combo skin and also doubles as a moisturizer in the summer. My nose is the first place to react to a product being too heavy, and this stuff never gives me any problems. It absorbs fast and comes loaded with some antioxidants. I wish the price was lower, but it is the best physical sunscreen I have tried (and I have tried many). As a guy, this does the trick on my hairy face, without any issues.

Great sunscreen
I am careful to always use a sunscreen. I have for the last 20 years and my skin has really benefited from this one important routine. I like the way this sunscreen goes on, not greasy or oily. My makeup goes on over and stays great. I trust this brand and love this product. It feels and looks great!

Best Sunscreen For Sensitive Skin
I've been using SkinMedica Essential Defense Mineral Shield Broad Spectrum SPF 35 for many years. I use both the plain and tinted. The tinted is smooth, and my foundation marries well with the sunscreen. I workout a lot and like the fact the plain sunscreen stays on. I do however, reapply after my hot yoga classes. I highly recommend this sunscreen.

Love It!
I am surprised I like this sun cream. I have used SkinCeuticals SPF for a couple of years and was having difficulties with it being a tad too drying. This one does not irritate my skin, does it dry it out, does not leave it sticky. No white case if it is rubbed in well. Now hat I am back on tretinoin I needed something that was soothing and not thick. This is perfect!!!!! It also lays well under my foundation and other makeup products. Thank goodness I found this!

Perfect
I love this sunscreen. It does not leave a white cast and it doesn't not ball up later. It's also light and perfect for my sensitive skin. You can reapply without any issue. It does not feel heavy.

Great sunscreen
I have been searching for the perfect lightweight, moisturizing mineral-based sunscreen and have finally found it. I use this under foundation, and it works wonderfully. There is a slightly pale cast due to the zinc oxide, but that should be expected. There is no detectable scent either. I highly recommend this product!
