  • Science & Proof

    • Science

    High SPF sunscreen can be challenging for combination and oil skin types, creating an oily sheen on skin and clogging pores. Enhanced sebum production from heat exacerbates this effect by stretching pores and increasing surface oil and shine. Formulated with 100% physical filters, this broad spectrum tinted sunscreen minimizes oil and maintains its matte finish even in hot, humid conditions.

    This sunscreen contains oil-absorbing powders to help minimize the appearance of sweat and oil for a long-lasting matte finish.

Key Ingredients

  • 4% transparent micronized zinc oxide (Z-Cote®)
  • 9% titanium dioxide
  • Aerated silica
  • Translucent color spheres

Microfine physical sunscreen filter provides broad spectrum protection from UVA and UVB rays without leaving white residue

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Disappointed I recently purchased this product through this website. Physical Matte UV Defense SPF 50.nIt's supposed to work with oily skin in humid environments. I live in FL. First it seems like you have to use a lot to cover your face. Secondly, it makes my face oilier and the product does NOT stick to my skin. I actually had sunburn while wearing this product - which never happened before with your sunblock.nI'm not sure if this product was defective or it does not do what it's supposed to.! I had always had excellent experience with your products and would not use any other sunblock until now.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Very nice, but smells I have purchased this sunscreen twice. The first time - a 5 star rating! The second purchase - the smell is awful! I think it is just the bottle I happened to get, the smell is so bad that it keeps me from wanting to use it! It doesn’t smell like sunscreen, but more of a dead animal smell!! Also, another negative is that it seems like I have to use a lot of it to get coverage. Otherwise, this is a flawless coverage with a matte look once it dries. I use this rather than foundation b/c it is better than any foundation I’ve used!

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Doesn't feel matte to me... I think this is an effective sunscreen, but it's not my favorite. The tint works well with my complexion but it feels oily, not matte to me and it doesn't seem to dry to a matte finish after application. In fact, I have to shake the tube or the product will come out separated with a thin, clear, and oily-feeling substance, then the tinted sunscreen. I much prefer the Sheer Physical Defense sunscreen and I won't be getting this again. If you have very dry skin this might work for you but I wouldn't recommend it for anyone with oily skin.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Smells like old crusty feet I've been using this for a few years now, but my last tube smelled SO BAD. It's like rancid parmesan cheese, and it lingers on your face for a few hours. It's disgusting, and it has made me stop using it. I thought for sure it had gone bad or had stayed in the heat too long when shipped or something, so I contacted the company and they said it was normal for it to smell like that. They agreed to refund me the tube, so I purchased a new one. Well, the new one smells exactly the same. And I've ordered them like 4 months apart, so it's not just a bad batch. I still have an older tube that's almost empty, so I can compare the smell, and it definitely did not used to smell this bad. I guess I'll have to find a new sunscreen...

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love this sunscreen!!! This sunscreen is the best sunscreen I have ever tried. I have oily, acne-prone skin, that tends to be very sensitive and red. This is the only sunscreen I've used that did not make me oily, did not have that awful sunscreen smell, and did not break me out! It makes my skin so smooth and the slight tint helps even out my skin. It doesn't make my face red at all and it works well under my makeup or alone. Totally love this, so glad I found it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Sunscreen for Oily Skin Sunscreen is a must if you have blemishes from acne. However it can be difficult to find something that isn't so oily that you look like a shiny mess! This is sunscreen does the job. I've purchased several sunscreens that claim to be a matte finish but end up leaving an oily sticky feeling. Not this one, this baby will give you the protection you need without the greasy feeling. I will keep buying forever.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love it! On the bottle it clearly says use a water resistant sunscreen if swimming or sweating. But if your not happy with that then their is another sun screen from skinceuticals that is water resistant which is the physical fusion uv defense UVA/UVB protective fluid, and I loved that one as well. As for the matte finish it works just as great! I have uneven skin texture and this matte finish makes my skin look flawless. I recommend this product if your trying to minimize uneven lines. Also great sun protector!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Truly works! This sunscreen is one of the only products on the market that I've tried for my sensitive skin that does not cause itch. Over the years I have tried countless sunscreen products that causes intense itch on my skin and around my eyes. Nothing worked....until I found Skinceuticals. Not only is this product truly hypoallergenic it works great to provide cover from the sun and actually prevents further development of sunspots.
