Reviews For SkinMedica Essential Defense Mineral Shield Broad Spectrum SPF 35

Best face sunscreen under makeup
Love this sunscreen. I love and use some of SkinMedica products for the top quality results on my sensitive aging skin I have tried a lot of sunscreens, but this is better than any other medical grade brands. Not only is it a physical sunscreen but mineral based for sensitive skin. Can't live without it, especially in these summer months in Florida.

Great!
This is a great sunscreen. No white cast for me and very light and not greasy (and I have oily skin). Does not irritate my skin at all too!

Love this daily sunscreen!!!
I have ridiculous contact dermatitis allergies. It is incredibly challenging to find sunscreens I can tolerate. This one and the tinted version are absolutely fantastic! I have very fair skin. The untinted formula is fine in my skin however adding a bit of the tinted version together is just perfect for my complexion! Give it a few minutes to sink into your skin before applying any makeup.

My new favorite sunscreen
The pump makes application very convenient & it just seems more sanitary. It’s great for sensitive skin as I’m able to apply around eyes, eyelid with no stinging sensation. Goes on smoothly, easily absorbed & scent is very light.

Goes on smoothly, with the right amount of sheen
My skin med spa recommended this, and after trying it out, I have to say I love it. I have been wearing it every day. Have not yet tried it out on a sunny day.

My Go To
My all time favorite sunscreen. It goes on smooth, doesn’t leave a white-cast, doesn’t pill, and it makes my skin look amazing. Definitely recommend.

Great for sensitive skin
I love this sunscreen. I have extremely sensitive skin and rosacea and its taken me a while to find a sunscreen that doesn't irritate my skin or cause breakouts. This has been great. No white cast either. Highly recommend.

Best sunscreen for under make up
I was introduced to this sunscreen after I had a BBL. It was so smooth and not heavy. I immediately purchased a bottle to use at home. It works great under makeup or alone.

Favorite sunscreen
I have combination acne prone skin and also deal with some dryness related to tretinoin use. This is my favorite facial sunscreen I’ve found to date. It’s moisturizing but not greasy and wears well under makeup. Has never caused acne or irritation for me.

SkinMedica SPF 35
For me I usually love SkinMedica products, but this SPF 35 cream didn't go on as nicely as I thought. It gave me a slight white tone (must be zinc) too. It just didn't absorb as nicely when I applied. I have dry skin so maybe if I had oily or normal I would have had a better experience.

Exactly what I was looking for
I face used several high end mineral sunscreens and this by far has the best texture—not greasy, blends nicely, and does not irritate my super sensitive skin.

Mineral SPF
I wanted to love this SPF. I am looking to replace the SPF I’ve used for years and am just having a hard time finding one I love.

I am glad to purchase it
I have been using a different brand for a year and switched to this products as I am not 100% sure about the quality of that brand. Now I am pleased with my purchase of this product because it stays on my skin nicely and I feel it covers and protects from UV stronger on my face and neck. I will keep using it and see how things go.

Perfect Daytime Sunscreen
This lotion is perfect to put on under your foundation or as a simple protection from the sun. Living in the South where the sun is strong, I use sunscreen everyday, preferably one that is hydrating and non-greasy. This product is both!
