Description

SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50 is a lightweight, 100% mineral/physical daily photoprotection sunscreen that provides a sheer universal tint that is adaptable to all skin tones, helping to boost radiance for a more luminous complexion. Suitable for all skin types.

Key Ingredients include inorganic filters Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide that mostly reflect ultraviolet radiation. The formulation is also enhanced with Artemia Salina, a plankton extract that increases the skin defenses and resistance to UV, and Infrared radiation. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant. Non-comedogenic. Fragrance-free. Dermatologically tested. Water-resistant

Dr Webster’s Recommendation: SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense is one of our most popular sunscreens not only because it provides broad-spectrum sun protection but because it contains a light universal tint. This sheer formulation provides an even tone and a healthy natural glow. It is recommended for use by all skin types but is especially beneficial to sensitive or rosacea-prone skins who might be intolerant or sensitive to organic/chemical sunscreens. A good quality sunscreen should be the most important part of your daily skincare regimen and this formulation is adaptable, spreads easily, and comes from a leading medical skincare manufacturer.

    This is by far the best facial sunscreen I have ever used. It’s virtually weightless on your skin, and if you’re someone like me who hates that sticky, oily feeling of sunscreen, you’ll love this!

    i made the mistake of trying this sunscreen…it’s insanely good! The finish is so beautiful and the colour just blends… i generally don’t like sunscreen products (even though i still use SPF every day), most sunscreens pill on my face, are sticky and don’t work with makeup – not this one! All other tinted sunscreens i tried made me look yellow – not this one! The only thing that could be better is the smell, but it’s not too bad. i also have very sensitive skin and this doesn’t irritate

    The best physical sunscreen I have used. No white cast (I have medium to dark skin) and does not clog my pores, although I do have dry skin.

    Absolutely love this sunblock. First mineral sunblock I’ve used that doesn’t have a smell to it.

    Provides a nice smooth finish and I was so happy that it is not fragranced. It also provides a nice base for makeup. I would not recommend for dark skin tones and those with dry skin.

    Great physical sun protection product, my only feedback to the brand would be to look into grinding the minerals down into a finer consistency as the sunscreen definitely needs to be pressed into the skin taking care that all rubbing and direct application methods are avoided for optimal results.
    Will purchase again.

    This would probably be the best sunscreen, but the tint does not look great on dark/ brown skin complexions. It leaves a white to grey cast. I honestly don’t recommend this for darker skin complexions. I’ll rate it 3 stars, because of the fact that it does not have any antioxidants, but has a really nice smell and no added Parfum (fragrances). Absorbs after 5min and leaves a mattifying touch.

    My favorite sunscreen by far. Light weight and Goes on smoothly with only a slight flattering tint.
