Reviews For SkinCeuticals Sheer Physical UV Defense Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50
Lightweight
This formula is very thin and lightweight. The size is nice for traveling. If you like a thin layer then this is for you!

Decent mineral sunscreen
Is very lightweight. Has a bit of a white cast. I don’t use daily, only when I’m spending prolonged time outside. My skin tolerates but I usually end up with a breakout after use.

It’s good but not my favorite

Lightweight Sunscreen
Very sheer sunscreen. Blends into skin very easily and works great under makeup.

Feels great, but takes time to soak in
I love the level of protection and how this feels on my skin. But it leaves a white cast on my face for a while. I plan to mostly use this on days when I'll be out in the direct sun instead of a day-to-day sunscreen.

Good to use at home
Good to use at home or under makeup because even if it's light I can always feel the white layer on my face.

SkinCeuticals Sheer Physical Mineral Sunscreen
Pretty good sunscreen. However I miss the texture of the old 30 SPF which seems to have been discontinued. This one needs to soak in longer before applying makeup.

Good, does have white cast
I like it, it has a great velvety texture. Very slight white cast when you use the correct amount (1/4 teaspoon for face), though gets better as it dries down. Unless you have very light skin like me, might be a good idea to try something else because of white cast. But it's been great for me, someone w/ very sensitive, acne and rosacea-prone skin--hasn't been irritating or given me acne. And not too crazy expensive as lots of the pure mineral sunscreens tend to be.

Not my favorite but effective
I bought this on a recommendation and honestly don't love it compared to the physical fusion tinted which is amazing. It covers well and is not heavy but is white requires some rubbing to meld with skin and not leave the dreaded white mask. Won't purchase again.

Odd smell, but good sunscreen
Overall great coverage sunscreen, but has an odd gasoline like smell. It's not super potent, but there when you first apply it.

I prefer the tinted one
On my caramel complexion, I can't say this is completely sheer, but it's mostly sheer. I've resigned myself to mainly wearing it with foundation; however, it controls oil better than any product I've ever used! For that reason, I decided to keep this, and it's become a holy grail product. I'm usually a total grease ball by 10 am, but with this I barely have to blot my face at all during the day. The fact that it keeps dark spots at bay and controls oil is a huge bonus!! But I prefer the tinted one.

leaves a slight white residue
I normally wear the tinted SkinCeuticals 50 sunscreen but with the pandemic and wearing a mask, I switched to the non-tinted version. This is a very good sunscreen, but it leaves a slight, white residue once absorbed. The sunscreen is lightweight, absorbs quickly and doesn't irritate my rosacea. Having tried at least a dozen mineral sunscreens, I have never found one that doesn't leave your skin looking slightly white.

Skinceuticals Sheer SPF 50
Ive had numerous trial and error with various sunscreen brands until I discovered Skinceuticals Sheer Physical UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 50. It is extremely liquid giving me the ability to spread and glide over nicely and goes a long way. I took one star off because I would recommend better container and/or cap to better control it’s flow because liquid come out fast and is prone to spilling. I don’t mind taking little extra effort to carefully pour it on my hand. Im buying it again!

4 star
I love the silky , soft , light weight texture. I would give it a 5 star for that reason, one draw back is , in some places it does leave a white residue on the skin. That is the only drawback. But if you make sure to rub totally in, it’s a 5!

Good not perfect
I did like that it doesn’t burn at all especially after my skin was so delicate after laser resurfacing. I started wearing this 1 wk postop. It’s thin and pats on really well and doesn’t leave my already oily skin looking like an oil slick. Huge plus for me. But it does leave a slight white cast on your skin. I could care less on my everyday “running errands” activities because I just need protection. I’ll be trying/buying the tinted version to use when I actually need to be presentable socially.

SkinCeuticals Sheer Physical UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 50
I purchased this by accident. I usually purchase the tinted which I love. This is good, but I prefer the tinted as it goes on easier.

Nice sunscreen but a little white
This is a good sunscreen with a thin and easy to spread formula. Being zinc oxide however, it can leave a little bit of a white cast if you use too much. I learned that the hard way the first time I used this! The texture feels exactly like the Physical Fusion from SkinCeuticals, but without the tint. I personally prefer the tinted version for my face, but this is a great alternative if you do not like tinted sunscreens!

kind of dry
Leaves white marks, but not very obvious. Feels a little dry after several hours. Has some granules, not very smooth.

Great sun protection
I am a tennis player and I usually spend hours daily in the sun during my matches, I need a good sunscreen. What I like about SkinCeuticals Sheer Defense is that it gives me the protection that I need without giving me breakouts, I have tried so many different brands, and this so far works perfect for my oily skin complexion.
