Reviews For Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Dark Spot Sun Defense Broad Spectrum SPF 50

February 23, 2023

good sunscreen back-up

I normally use a different brand of sunscreen and really love that, but I thought it might be good to branch out and try something else, so I turned to this. I haven't really been in the sun all that much since I've started using it (working remotely and all), so I can't speak to whether it helps prevent sunburn or anything. I will say that for the most part, it fades pretty well into my fair-to-light skin tone. There is a VERY slight white cast. It goes well under makeup, which I appreciate because it seems to be so rare. I do hate the packaging though. It keeps tipping over in my medicine cabinet, something that my other brand never does. So I can't ever see myself using this exclusively, but I would use it as a backup if I'm out of the other.

Best sunscreen under makeup

I’ve been using a sunscreen from a different brand for 18 years and it is the gold standard for fragrance free broad spectrum sunscreen but it’s a bit greasy under my makeup or not. Now when I looked up another sunscreen to go on under my makeup, the list of wants got bigger. I want semi matte, non tinted, fragrance free, reef safe, with skin benefits like preventing dark spots that are appearing with age. Voila, Dr. Dennis Gross dark spot sun defense broad spectrum spf 50 sunscreen! This is my new favorite for face/neck/and décolletage sunscreen! It goes on smoothly under makeup and no white cast! Now if it came in a bigger size with a hygienic pump like in my old favorite sunscreen, I would be extremely happy about that!

SPF 50 Dr Dennis product

I really love it. I think this is the best sunscreen I’ve ever used. No side edgy. My previous sunscreen I expect itchiness.

Very nice non-chemical choice

This is a nice physical sunscreen with a high Spf. Feels fine on the skin, not heavy or greasy, but not really thin like some other non-chemical choices. Tried it to add a dose of Vitamin C.

The Best Sunscreen I have Tried

I absolutely love this sunscreen! It’s a new product for me, and I fell in love with it upon the first application. It goes on smoothly, it’s not greasy and a little goes a long way. I use it daily rather I’m indoors or outdoors hoping it will deliver as promised: help with unbalanced areas on face from sun exposure.

Recommended for dry skins

After using it a month in the summer time I can say it suits best for dry skin. The skin’s overall look with this spf on is good (despite a little bit of white stain it leaves) and the skin feels very comfortable. And it has good protection. On my combination skin it is a little bit shiny (what actually I don’t mind), but unfortunately it clogs pores. It needs to be cleaned deeply with cleansing oil or balm.

I like the feel and improve uneven skin tone and texture

I like the feel and it seems to improve uneven skin tone and texture after using it almost a week. It absorbs well to leave my face glowy. The skin of my face looks like smoother. Too early to tell the effects on black spots until more months later. I wish my black spots will be reduced soon. Unfortunately the size is too small and it is expensive compare with the size.

Great Protection

I honestly purchased this based on the ingredients and brand. I prefer a higher SPF and the 50 was a plus. I have no complaints. I apply it daily. It is lightweight and invisible. Will purchase again!

Not the greatest for oily skin

First, let me start by saying I am a Dr Dennis Gross fanatic. I have a number of his products, including the pore perfecting facial wash (LOVE LOVE LOVE) and the IPL serum. I was running out of my current sunscreen, and I decided to add another DDG product to the team, the Dark Spot Sun Defense Broad Spectrum sunscreen. It smells like any of sunscreen but this sunscreen is thiiiiccck. I put it on as the last skincare step before my foundation and it just never really dried down. Also it left a major white cast but I was thinking who cares about the cast, I’m covering it either foundation anyway. I alternate between 2 high end demi matte foundations, which especially in winter, usually stay Demi matte throughout the whole day, but not with this sunscreen. By mid day, I looked like an oil slick. Only reason I’m giving it 2 stars instead of one is because I love DDG and the ingredient list is amazing. It just went horribly wrong for me

love love love

I actually use elta all the time. I didn't think I could find anything better than Elta. But, I love this sunscreen. Smells good and the texture is very smooth and not too oily. I love it!

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Dark Spot Sun Broad SPF 50

dr. Dark Spot Gross Defense Broad Spectrum SPF 50 this moisturizing, anti-aging sunscreen reduces the appearance of dark spots, uneven skin, and aging around the face and delicate eye area because it significantly reduces the risk of skin cancer. I have used it for quite a long time and are very happy about it. Thanks, LovelySkin, for bringing it to me. ❤️

Favorite Sunscreen

I was hesitant about purchasing this because I have used other Dr. Gross products that broke me out. I was very happy after using this for awhile to see that not only did it not cause any breakouts, but my skin appeared smoother and clearer! Really nice product. Use daily and no issues.

I'M A FAN!

I was on the look out for a new sunscreen lightweight and doesn't leave that white residue but still able to protect my skin from the sun. This DOES ALL also with no crazy scent that smells like your typical sunscreen. This is definitely something I'd recommend because of the SPF 50 amount will last you for months.

The Best Sunscreen

I always seem to come back to Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Dark Spot Sun Defense Broad Spectrum SPF 50. I will try others, but they do not match up to this sunscreen. It has the best ingredients and really protects your skin from sun damage. It goes on smoothly and makes your skin look healthier even without makeup!! In my opinion, it is the best, and I have tried many!

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Dark Spot Sun Defense Broad Spectrum SPF 50

So far I've actually used this on my hands and arms. I'm allergic to the sun and I love it. It absorbs quickly and easily and it doesn't leave a white cast to the skin. I tried Dr. Dennis Gross other skincare products and they are seem to be high quality and no chemicals which is important.

Really clean & fresh!

I actually LOVE this product! I like to steam my face, use a toner & then apply this product. There's no tint, so my skin looks so fresh & youthful, while protecting it from the sun!

This sunscreen does seem different

This is very easily absorbed and doesn't leave a white cast on my fair skin. I've been using better-quality mineral sunblocks for decades, but my complexion seems to be responding to this one in a different (positive) way, which I assume must be due to the Melatonin Defense Complex. Hard to put my finger on it, but I like the texture, the absorption, and the results. Makeup goes on well over it, too.
