Reviews For SkinMedica Essential Defense Everyday Clear Broad Spectrum SPF 47
Filtered by: Clear Filters
Lightweight SPF That Feels Like Skincare
Just got this today and I’m already obsessed. It goes on super smooth, doesn’t feel heavy or greasy, and layers perfectly with my other products. I love using SPF daily for anti-aging and extra protection while on Accutane—this one feels like it actually cares for your skin, not just protects it. No white cast, no irritation, just a clean, lightweight finish. Definitely a new staple for me!

Good coverage
I mix it with my moisturizer and it doesn’t leave a white residue on my face. Haven’t had any sun damage since I started it.

Another great Skin Medica sunscreen
I love the Skin Medica Essential Defense Mineral Shield Broad Spectrum SPF 35 Sunscreen, untinted version. This sunscreen formulation is a great hybrid version. I gravitate towards all mineral sunscreens because hybrid versions tend to irritate my eyes. This one doesn't. It goes on smooth, absorbs quickly and works well under makeup for me. The niacinamide is an added bonus that helps to keep those pesky skin spots at bay. I use it more in the warmer months when my combo skin is not as dry.

Great sunscreen
I use this everyday in the mountains in Colorado and it goes on with no residue, whether my skin is dry or oily.

flakes and dries my skin
This is a very difficult sunscreen to wear. It dries my skin and looks horrible under makeup, it will texture and flake.

Great sun protection!
This is my first time using this particular sunscreen, long time SkinMedica customer though. I typically use a tinted sunscreen but I wanted a higher SPF, so I opted for this one. After purchasing, I realized it was made for oily or acne skin, which is opposite of my complexion. I was nervous it would make my face dry or tight, but it was plenty moisturizing! So based on my experience, I really think any skin type could use this. It doesn’t leave a white cast and is super easy to apply, absorbs immediately. I actually like the texture of this one better than my usual tinted sunscreen and makeup doesn’t pill over it. It’s a winner for me!

Essential Defense Wear
This lightweight facial sunscreen feels great on my skin. It’s not oily and goes on smoothly. It’s great knowing my face is protected from the sun. I can wear my daily makeup with it, too! So glad I purchased it.

Nice sunscreen.
This is a very nice product. It goes on shiny but absorbs into the skin after about 20 minutes, leaving a nice matte finish. I like that is has a high SPF level.

Best SPF
I have been using the tinted version for years but wanted to try this for the days I want to go more natural. Takes less rubbing-in than other white SPFs I’ve tried, it’s easy to wear under makeup too. Has a mild chemical smell but it’s neutral as far SPFs go and I don’t mind it
