Reviews For SkinMedica Essential Defense Everyday Clear Broad Spectrum SPF 47
Nice product, crummy dispenser
Epionce stopped offering their clear sunscreen, so I found this, and it’s nice. The Epionce tube allowed me to see how much was left. I hate these rigid pump containers because I have no idea how much is left or even in there to start with. I hope Epionce brings theirs back.

Great feel and perfect for skin that get oily
I have been using Image Skincare matte SPF for years, however they changed the formulation. I began my hunt for something comparable. This is a great alternative. My skin is combination, however gets oily on the forehead through the day. This has a great matte feel and doesn't breakout my skin. It does great putting makeup over top. The scent is odd.... which is the 4 stars. Once you get past the scent, it is worth it for overall skin feel and look.

good hybrid sunscreen
I like it , texture is great ,does not smell like sunscreen.Still on the hunt for the right one. I prefer an spf 50 or better not sure why skinmedica did not do it, that said 47 vs 50 is miniscule of course,may repurchase.

Okay
I usually order the tinted sunscreen by the same brand and I accidentally selected this for the higher spf not carefully reading that it was regular sunscreen and not tinted. My eyes took a little sensitivity to it so that’s the only reason I’d give it 4 stars. No white cast and doesn’t leave my skin greasy and my skin tint applies smoothly over it!

So Far So Good
This sunscreen has a nice texture, very light. I usually like a higher zinc oxide content than 12% however the lower zinc percentage allows for better texture under makeup. It is a small amount of product for the cost. The airless pump is a nice feature. Will update this review if I have any issues with it as I've only used it once. I buy tons of sunscreens so I am familiar with a good texture.

Great protection
I use this everyday under my makeup for sun protection and the amount of product you get lasts a long time!

Good but prefer other from the same brand
This has high SPF which is great. However for my combination skin which tends to shine, I prefer the SPF 34 which, although not put forward specifically for my skin type, feels wonderful and sets to a real matte finish while hydrating any dry areas. Will stick to that one.

Must-have!
I am a daily sunscreen applier! This is a go to product for me (especially since i do not like tinted sunscreen!). Gave it a four starts (and not five) because the texture isn't my favorite but the sun protection is great and consistent. I also love that Skin Medica never irritates my skin. I've even got my husband using it... and his skin is easily irritated by most sunscreens (but never by SkinMedica!).

Nice sunscreen
I have been on the hunt for a sunscreen with a high spf and not greasy and heavy. Having skin cancer, sunscreen is a must. I like the consistency, goes on nicely, let dry and I apply BE mineral foundation and blush. I also use EltaMD and BE Prep spf 50 for my sunscreen routine b4 makeup. SkinMedica is a bit more pricey than EltaMD, both are good products, depends on what activities are planned for the day when decide which sunscreen to use.

Good product for the price
This is a good product for the price. I like that it contains niacinimade, and doesn't break me out. Can get a bit oily at times, but it's still better than 95% if sunscreens on the market.

I like the way it feels
As long as the SPF portion works I think it's a good product
