Reviews For SkinCeuticals Sheer Physical UV Defense Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50
Blends in well, minimal white cast
I ordered this sunscreen by mistake as I meant to order the tinted version instead. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it blends in well despite having no tint, and makeup (both liquid and powder) applies well over top with no pilling, and there’s very minimal white cast. It has a smooth texture, though is a bit runny so you have to be careful. When first applied it looks a little white, but you have to let it sink in a minute or two before applying makeup. This has a very lightweight feel and no scent. I could not tell I was wearing sunscreen at all. I have very sensitive, somewhat oily skin and this didn’t cause any breakouts or irritation. I am super pleased with this sunscreen and I can’t wait to try the tinted version once I have finished my bottle. The only gripe I have is the price. It’s quite costly for such a small bottle. I only use this sunscreen for going to work and my cheaper sunscreen on weekends. I recommend this sunscreen if you want a lightweight feel and no irritating sensitivity.

Gave it 4 stars because the ingredients % is not as high as I expected.
As a mineral sunscreen, I would think it has more than 10% of the active ingredients. But I found out that it has about 5% and it's not strong enough. Maybe the brand designed it this way for sensitive skin concerns, but I wish it was stronger. Overall a good product.

Does the job
Good sunscreen for everyday use under makeup. Light and not sticky like some sunscreens can be.

A Very Good Physical Sunscreen.
I think that SkinCeuticals makes great skin care products backed by science and research. The most thing that I love about this sunscreen is that it contains physical sun blockers. And it spreads easily on the skin, and it does not leave white marks or streaks. On the other hand, I feel the need to wear a moisturizer before I apply this sunscreen which is understandable. Overall, it's a good physical sunscreen.

Good product
Sheer Physical is a good product, but it leaves a white film. However, it provides great protection and also serves as an amazing primer under foundation.

This is nice but I prefer the SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50 because it has a light tint to it. The "Sheer" Physical UV Defense looked white on my skin.

Great product, except...
... be careful pulling on a top after applying the makeup! Stains are hard to remove.

Natural 🌞 protection
I have a history of skin cancer, so its important for me to find a sunscreen that really works. Now that Ive tried Skinceuticals, I can say that they make some of the BEST sun protection products on the market. This one, which is a lightweight, beige-colored physical sunscreen, contains zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. (Zinc oxide is one of my favorite broad spectrum ingredients. It protects from UVA-1 rays!) It comes out of the tube a sheer, fluid moisturizer. It provides minimal coverage that works great on my light skin tone. It causes no irritation for me, and washes off easily with a little cleanser and water. The only cons(which are slight)are the cost and the smell. $34 is pricey, but LovelySkin offers significant discounts. Some may be bothered by the smell, which can only be described as . . .rubbery?However, it substantially protects my sensitive skin from the harsh Florida sun, and for that, it gets four stars.

Good sunblock
This sunblock offers good protection from the Florida sun. The other sunblock I was using I could feel the sun burning my skin even though I waited 30 minutes before heading outside. I only gave this sunblock 4 stars because it leaves a white film on skin when applied. I have brown skin.
