Reviews For SkinMedica Essential Defense Mineral Shield Broad Spectrum SPF 35
Love It!
I am surprised I like this sun cream. I have used SkinCeuticals SPF for a couple of years and was having difficulties with it being a tad too drying. This one does not irritate my skin, does it dry it out, does not leave it sticky. No white case if it is rubbed in well. Now hat I am back on tretinoin I needed something that was soothing and not thick. This is perfect!!!!! It also lays well under my foundation and other makeup products. Thank goodness I found this!

Perfect
I love this sunscreen. It does not leave a white cast and it doesn't not ball up later. It's also light and perfect for my sensitive skin. You can reapply without any issue. It does not feel heavy.

Great sunscreen
I have been searching for the perfect lightweight, moisturizing mineral-based sunscreen and have finally found it. I use this under foundation, and it works wonderfully. There is a slightly pale cast due to the zinc oxide, but that should be expected. There is no detectable scent either. I highly recommend this product!

Will definitely buy it again.
It is easy to apply and gentle to the face. Some sunscreen can string my face but this product is gentle.

Good Sunscreen for Retin-A users
I found the sunscreen to be an excellent consistency for my skin. I've been using Retin-A for a while now. So my skin has gotten much dryer. This worked well and wasn't too greasy. Has not broken my skin out at all.

Physical Sunscreens are a MUST
Got a sample of this and decided to buy it as I always use Physical Sunscreens. It is a nice product as most products I buy from Skin Medica are. It is not a ''huge'' bottle and given I cover my entire body, it lasts about 5 seconds for me ) but for those that just use it on the face, neck, and chest (don't forget the hands)! It is really nice!

SkinMedica Essential Defense Mineral Shield Broad Spectrum SPF 35
It provides good protection from the sun. Unfortunately, these mineral sun screens are not easily absorbed and often leave white marks on the skin.

SkinMedica Essential Defense Mineral Shield
This product does not work for me. It makes my eyes burn and skin on my face feels irritated. I have used SkinMedica's Daily Physical Defense with no problem at all. But it unfortunately has been discontinued. Too bad.

Excellent
It is light and sheer and I can wear it under makeup and not feel loaded down! I love it. I bought some for my 30-something daughter as her skin is starting to ''mature''. My dermatologist recommended it also! Thank you.

Perfect sunscreen
I love this sunscreen. I've tried a dozen-plus since my last sunscreen was discontinued, and this is the only one I've found that does the job and doesn't break me out.

Good Sunscreen!
Skinmedica products are fantastic. This sunscreen is good, but isn't my favorite. In it's defense, my skin is so incredibly picky (hypersensitive, dry, acneic). Pros: Non-irritating, works as intended, minimal white cast, mineral sunscreen. Cons: Thick (still not greasy), relatively hard to blend in. Still giving it 4 stars because I stand behind this brand and think this product isn't a good fit for me. Maybe I should have tried the Oily skin version? I usually find those quite drying since I do have dry skin. Try this! It might be perfect for you :)
