How To Use

Skinceuticals

Apply sunscreen liberally to the face, neck, and chest 15 minutes before sun exposure and before applying makeup. Reapply sunscreen after 40 minutes of swimming, sweating, immediately after towel drying, and least every two hours. For children under six months of age, consult a physician before use.

  • 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

Physician Insight

Physician image

I recommend this to my patients who have an oily skin type or to those who prefer a less sticky, greasy sunscreen. I also recommend this to my patients with discoloration issues because the iron oxides in the tint protect against visible light.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Might be a dud I think I may have received a dud. This is the first and only product from Skinceuticals that has been less than perfect. When I applied the SPF after my moisturizer, it started to crumble all over my face. I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong, but I’ve tried different methods: Wait 10 minutes after moisturizer. Apply with moisturizer. I even tried to spray a priming spray in between moisturizing and applying SPF. Still no luck. Anyone have any tips: suggestions?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Winter Go-to! Physical Matte UV Defense is my go-to for the less humid months of South Texas’s winter! It offers the daily UV protection i need while providing a finished — not too heavy — look. It’s a staple in my make-up bag, for sure!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best tinted sunscreen! I recieved a sample and immediately ordered the full size online! It's the best tinted sunscreen. You can wear it alone or under makeup. I've tried many other top name brand sunscreens that claim to work well under makeup and they all failed. I have oily skin and other face sunscreens made my face look like a frying pan! Ha! You will not be disappointed with this purchase!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This is the best matte sunscreen and is prefect if you want to have a natural look and not wear makeup. Its pricier than drug store brands but a little goes a long way. I would recommend this gem!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I love this sunscreen not only because it protects my skin from harmful rays but it also is tinted for some coverage. I then put some power over it and Im good to go! I wish they bottles were a little bigger but definitely recommend it.
