Reviews For SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense Tinted Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50
Filtered by: Clear Filters
Favorite daily use sunscreen ever!
Im only giving this product 4 stars because while it is far and away the best facial sunscreen Ive ever used (besides a discontinued other Skinceuticals sunscreen product hmph), its not quite perfect. First the good: I have fair combination, slightly sensitive skin. While this products tint will not work for darker skin tones, it works beautifully on mine. It does this amazing thing Ive never encountered before - it mattifies and evens out my skin tone while giving it the subtlest glow. As someone who does not need to wear foundation and just has some light acne scarring and blackheads, it truly makes my skin look beautiful. I also enjoy the coverage - more liquidy than most sunscreens but it makes it easier to blend in as well. The only thing I would change about this product (it really should just be 1/2 a star off) is that if my skin is a little dry or flaky, its more noticeable that Im wearing a tinted lotion. But all in all, this product is amazing. Truly my favorite beauty product!

good product
I like this sunscreen because it is not super oily like most other sunscreens and it stays on all day. I work a job where I am out in the sun and on my feet all day. I sweat a lot and this doesnt drip off. I hardly ever re apply, like I should, and I rarely get a sunburn though. Other sunscreens, if you dont reapply you will definitely get a sunburn. This sunscreen comes out in a liquid like form, its not like a lotion like consistency like most sunscreens. I like that! It spreads easy and soaks in / dries quickly. I have found that if my skin is irritated or if I have exfoliated, this sunscreen can sting a lot. It happens rarely, but it happens, so I thought I should mention it. Its not enough to keep me from using it though. Lately I have been using it with a powdered sunscreen, just to set it more, and because I dont reapply throughout the day. By the way, my dermatologist recommended this product to me. She uses it herself and she has super fair skin.

Best Sports Sun Screen Yet
I am on my second bottle of this sun screen and absolutely love it! It is especially good for people who spend a lot of time on outdoor sports like I do. I love that it doesnt give you a "white face" when you load it on but just nicely covers your skin. It is also very water and sweat proof. In fact after a 2 to 3 hour bike ride in the heat it is still in tact with complete coverage.

Great sunscreen
I usually hate the way sunscreen feels on my face, as a result I sometimes didnt wear it (My dermatologist would kill me if she knew that) This sunscreen , however is so light and easy to rub in. i have no problem applying my makeup afterwards. I bought 2 when I purchased it and Im glad I did.

So far the best Ive found
Ive been searching for a good suntan lotion for the face of a long, long time. Ive had multiple bouts of basal cell skin cancer and need a high SPF. I HATE when lotions make my face feel all greasy and dirty. Most lotions are too heavy, too smelly, make my skin look too white, and/or sting my face. So far, I really like this lotion. I can tell I have it on, but its not too heavy or greasy. I like the light tint it has, and so it definitely doesnt make my skin look white. I did have a slight irritation on my neck. Im not really sure if it was from the lotion, but my neck is super, super sensitive. I would have rated this a 5 star review if it werent for that, but again, I cannot be sure that the irritation was from the lotion. Either way, Ill still use it on my face. I also love that it has natural ingredients. Ive read that all these chemicals in most suntan lotions actually CAUSE skin cancer rather than prevent it. Usually when I purchase a zinc based lotion, it is super heavy/greasy and does not absorb into the skin very well. Not true for this product.

First tinted sun protector i really like!
I am so happy with this sunscreen. The tint is perfect! It doesnt have the heavy coverage a lot of other brands i have experienced. This is a nice smooth coverage that is not noticable except when i look in the mirror and my skin shows fewer an dless noticable sun/age spots.

Best sunscreen
Absorbs into skin quickly. No sticky feeling. The tint helps give your skin a natural glow so you dont need to wear foundation or loose powder at all!

BEST SUNSCREEN EVER!!!
Absorbs into skin quickly. The tint helps give your skin a natural glow so you dont need to wear foundation, but if you want the fuller coverage of a foundation this product will not affect your makeup and I have oily skin. Give it a try and you wont be disappointed.

Perfect, but broke me out
I really wanted to love this product. Besides the size of the bottle (tiny for the price), I loved everything about it. The sunscreen feels oily when you first apply it but within a minute, you feel nothing but dry, soft, skin. No glaring shine, and definitely none of the unflattering white translucence you get from other sunscreen. I also felt that the little tint it had also somewhat covered up my redness. Could be used a a primer! BUT. A day after I started using this sunscreen, I started getting zits, small and large, painful and not painful, all over my face. I have a somewhat sensitive skin and cant use certain products like Bobbi Brown (another unfortunate..) without breaking out but hadnt expected this one to break me out. I stopped using the product after the first day and within 2 days, most of the zits are gone. So I had correctly identified this sunscreen as the zit-producing factor. I read somewhere after purchasing this product that it contains some ingredients that can clog pores. Perhaps those are the culprits.

Love it!
I got this stuff last week and I love it! I have oily and olive skin this just the sunscreen I was looking for. The sunscreen can be used as foundation during the summer and works well enough.

Love this sunscreen
This is great sunscreen. Its thin enough so that it doesnt feel heavy. The tint doesnt give any real coverage but seems to even the skin tone slightly. Overall I love this and it feels very gentle for my skin.

Excellent sunscreen
I love this sunscreen. It does not have the strong smell that most sunscreens have. It is not heavy and sticky, but rather very fluid and easy to spread evenly. I love the tinted color which makes it feel and look more like a tinted moisturizer than a sunscreen. It gives excellent protection. I would definitely purchase this product again.

Good SPF Product
I like the fact that this is very light and not greasy or thick like other SPF products. It is almost a water consistency with a bit of slickness to it and a slight tint

Effective SPF
I have been using this product for over a year, maybe even 2 years now. Never ever ever have I gotten burned or even extra freckles (I can become a freckly girl in the summer). I agree with other reviewers that it is runny, but I think that is a benefit to the easy application process and that a little goes a long way. I have light to medium-light skin and the tone works well for me. The only negative that keeps it from begin a 5 star is that if you apply to the forehead and then wear a visor or hat, the product rubs off even after adequate time to dry. So, I just use "regular/clear" sun protection on my forehead to avoid that "yucky" on my hats.

Absolute Best Facial Sunscreen
This is the best product I have found for my sensitive skin. It goes on smoothly. The light tint allows it to look natural on your skin - no white tinge. I layer it over my day serum, then apply foundation on top of the sunscreen. It looks natural and healthy. Best is that it completely prevents burns and pinkness from the sun, even when I am out all day. I burn very easily and have old sun damage. This product is the best facial sunscreen I have found and I never go out without it.

SKINCEUTICALS PHYSICAL FUSION UV DEFENSE SPF 50
I tried this product while visiting my daughter. I loved it. It goes on smoothly so youre not pulling your face as you apply. Very light and absorbing. I love the tint, making your skin tone even. Bonus is that its SPF 50.

Perfection at Last
Considering most sunscreen ingredients which have a reputation of leaving a white and heavy residue, this product is truly a miracle of cosmetic chemistry..A lightweight liquid, tinted, and readily absorbable, it surpasses any that Ive used in the past. Theyre gone!!!

Top sample from my dermatologist
I left my dermatologists office with a goody bag full of sunscreen samples Im an active senior/tennis player and need serious protection. The name brands were familiar. The active ingredients were basically two different classes of chemicals. At my followup, I mentioned the Skinceuticals the doc agreed it was the "most popular." This product had been out of stock, but a new shipment was priced at a discount, good. I like the coverage, the "universal" tint, the non-greasy "shmear" feel when applying--and hopefully the results into summer.
