Rated 5 out of 5 by from Please do not discontinue!! Like others who have commented here, I have been using this product for many years (20 years in my case), and I always get told I look 10 years younger. I use it also as a moisturizer and it makes my skin feel soft without a film like other sunscreens I have used. This is hands down the BEST sunscreen for the face and I can’t believe it is or will be discontinued. Please consider the outcry from your loyal customers and make this product available again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great protection & wonderful feeling on skin! I've used this sunscreen for a number of years & have received many compliments regarding my skin - largely due to this particular sunscreen. It protects my face while keeping it moist. I have been trying to reorder since Fall 2018 & am VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT I'VE HAD NO SUCCESS. PLEASE CONTINUE THIS PRODUCT. I'm almost out of it (usually ordering several tubes at a time). I'm still on the "notify" list.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My go-to every day! When people ask, "how does your skin look so good"? I say, "sunscreen". I would not go one day without it. Even in the depths of winter or a dark, dreary, rainy day, I wear Skinceuticals - Ultimate UV Defense SPF 30. In the summer I apply it at least twice a day if I am out in the sun. I do not use moisturizer -- this is enough. It moisturizes my skin when I apply it, yet is never greasy or heavy. I have tried other brands but this is far superior. It is soothing if your skin is sensitive or a little irritated. I will not wear anything else!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Do not discontinue I use a lot of skin Celtic also products. I am missing the discontinued Daily Sun Defense SPF 20 that was discontinued a couple years ago. That was the absolute BEST sunscreen for faces. My freckled, fair Irish skin could sit on the beach all day, all summer with the SPF 20. Once discontinued I switched to the Ultimate UV Defense 30. It words in the way of protection, but it is thicker and there is a white sheen to it. It is my second choice, but good. Do not discontinue. The Physical Fusion 50 is good for daily wear around town, but NOT for sitting on the beach all day. The others work much better, even though the SPF is lower. I am not at all happpy with the newest light moisture spf 50. Please bring back the Daily Sun Defense 20. This was your beast, most reliable sunscreen for faces.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from BRING IT BACK!!!!!! Why on earth would this product be discontinued???? It is hands down the BEST sunscreen ever made! I first saw it at a cosmetic dermatologist office and have been using it daily for over a decade. I am now 60 years old and my skin has never looked better. I'm told I look 45! For some reason this product makes my skin extremely supple and wrinkle free and was the only thing that banished my occasional adult acne for good. Nothing else compares to it, not even other SkinCeuticals sunscreens, it must be the way in which the zinc is formulated. I cannot live without it, PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My ultimate favorite spf of all time. Helps with both types of rays UVA/UVB. Non greasy and this formula is very hydrating. Can be used as your spf and moisturizer or layered with other products. Remember thin to thick rule.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Im guilty of not wearing spf every day I go outside but I am sure to use sunscreen anytime I know I will be in the sun. It is definitely worth the price and one of the few facial sunscreens that dont cause breakout. Will definitely buy again.
