Reviews For SkinCeuticals Daily Brightening UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 30
Not what I expected
I have been wanting to try this for a while but there are some things I love about it and something’s I don’t. The texture is so smooth and glides on. The finish is radiant. The smell is out of this world! It reminds me of black licorice or anise and I love it so much. On the negative side it’s only an SPF 30 and my usual one is a 50. It doesn’t really work well under makeup. I’ve tried it with a few other products and each time it tends to pill. I’ve even noticed it pilling when I’ve worn it on a bare face. I’m going to keep trying to make it work and if it doesn’t I’ll just use it on my body.

Broke me out
I wanted to love this product, since I love Skinceuticals Physical Fusion Defense sunscreen. This product is very lightweight and goes on beautifully, but it broke me out. I switched back to the Physical Fusion sunscreen and my skin cleared up. I recommend the Physical Fusion instead if you have sensitive skin (acne & rosacea).

A Little too Dewy
This sunscreen lays well under makeup and didn’t break out my acne-prone, oily skin. However, I will say that this product doesn’t really dry down and leaves a shiny finish. If you like the dewy look, then I think you might really like this sunscreen. I found it a bit too much for me, especially because it also has beige, pearlescent tint to it.

Pills when applying makeup
This sunscreen looks great unless you apply makeup. The sunscreen pills when I apply foundation. I tried it both with and without primer but it didn’t matter. I would return it but I got rid of the box. Don’t buy unless you are planning to skip foundation.

Offers sheer coverage & leaves my skin glowing.
Purchased this sunscreen as I like SkinCeuticals products. Was pleased to see that it was in a glass bottle. Sadly I learned there is a plastic sleeve inside the bottle. This means that once the pump can't pump any more product 1/4 of the product is still within the sleeve. I pulled the top off and pulled out the sleeve, used a cotton swab to take out as much of the remaining product as I was able. The remaining sunscreen was transferred to a smaller container with a lid. Due to the waste and price, I won't use this product again.

Wanted to love it, got a breakout
Should have checked the ingredients first. I enjoyed a sample of this from my dermatologist so decided to buy the full size. I usually use a zinc-only sunscreen and thought this was the same, but it's not. Got a breakout after using a few times so decided to return it.

Good for dry skin
I noticed my skin brighter but too oily for my skin type. I have combination skin. Not for me.

Pricey and no difference
Pricy and I haven't noticed a difference from other sunscreens.

Good not Great
I did like how the sunscreen felt on my face and the slightly tinted look was just enough coverage that allowed me not to have to wear powder but it broke my skin out tremendously.

Like the feel
Goes on smoothly and seems to provide sun protection but would prefer that it had more tint so it could be used as a lightweight replacement for foundation.

Great Product, Packaging Issues
This is my second time purchasing this product. It is an excellent product, but the packaging was poor in both products. The silver rim that is between the bottle and cap does not fit properly and eventually comes loose and interferes with the pump process which is problematic since there is not an adequate amount of product for the price and appearance of the bottle size. The product is excellent. The packaging issues lowered my rating.

Daily brightening defense sunscreen
I received a free sample of this to review and will receive a free sample duo for posting this review. I did like the feel and the way it felt. Perfect under makeup. However my skin is extremely sensitive to discoloration. I use sunscreen 365 days. I use discoloration defense daily after Phloretin CF. and still have problems. So I don’t think this product would protect me against brown spots.

Blends nicely
I received a trial-sized version of this for free to review and will received a free sample for my review. Blends nicely but I do not care for the scent.
