Reviews For SkinMedica Total Defense + Repair SPF 50
Good
I don’t like sunscreen. It usually irritates my sensitive skin and also usually feels so heavy, that I can’t wait to wash it off. This one seems to be lighter feeling, not smothering my skin. Therefore, it is my go to sunscreen.

Disappointed this was discontinued!
I love this stuff. It dries perfect without stickiness and is kind of "grippy", making it a PERFECT primer.

Time saver
Before buying this product, I was buying a different brand of a total defense product and yet another brand of facial sunscreen. I purchased this to consolidate these two steps and it lowered the overall cost I am loyal to several SkinMedica products, and I will keep buying this one. Overall, I do like the two steps with the products I had already been using, but for days I am in a hurry, this is both a more reasonably priced option and quicker to get out the door. I will definitely continue to keep this product on hand.

My sensitive skin just does not approve
This product would be great for those without sensitive skin, I think. Just didn’t work out that great for me.

Perfect Coverage
This sunscreen goes on easily and sheerly. I cannot even tell I have it on, it is lightweight and non-greasy. It is costly, but I like knowing I have full protection that is also good for my skin.

Sunscreen + antioxidants in one
Love this sunscreen! Have been using it for years. It goes on smooth and it’s not a problem under makeup. It also contains ingredients that are effective at “tightening” the skin too! it is a multi purpose sunscreen which I love.

Best SPF product
I have used this product on my face for awhile but tried yet another based on a review. I found that this one is the best for me. I can mix it with my moisturizer for days that I wear no foundation or wear it on top of my foundation without it becoming grainy. Love the protection.

A bit too dry
I usually use Total Defense 34. I tried the 50 SPF and find it difficult to apply to my face. It leaves white streaks if I’m not careful to rub it in. It definitely is not moisturizing. I will be going back to using the 34 SPF even during the summer.

Suitable for sensitive skin
Very Hydrating no dryness or flakiness. Great for sensitive skin like mine. But texture is a bit thick and sticky. I like the blend of antioxidants in addition to the great protection.

Have been using this for years!
This was recommended to me by my Dermatologist! I used to buy it in her clinic but found this lovely website that sells it with a special discount for auto-renewal, which saves me a bit of money! Win-win. I love that it doesn’t streak and is well absorbed into my skin. I have combo skin.

Favorite sun protection
This is a great daily sunscreen! It feels more like a primer and less like a sunscreen, which is why I love it for my AM sun protection under makeup.

Not my favorite sunscreen but has multiple benefits
I found this sunscreen to be a bit thick and sticky. I do like that it is water and sweat resistant, and is a physical AND chemical sunscreen. My eyes are sensitive to chemical sunscreens and don't seem to be as bothered by this product. I read about the protection from infrared rays, and from what I gathered, the same protection can probably be achieved by layering an antioxidant serum with a non-infrared sunscreen. Because it has such a high SPF and is water/sweat resistant, I will likely wear this to the pool, rather than under makeup. I'm not sure if I would order it again, but am sure I will finish the bottle in time.

I have been using this for years and love it. It’s lightweight for going under makeup and doesn’t cause breakouts.

Reccomended for my Melasma
An esthetician recommended this product as part of a routine to assist with my melasma. Just over the past year melasma began to appear dramatically on my face, and I have been working hard on a routine to help lighten/reduce the pigmentation. I was afraid that a 5-day trip to MX would set me back and/or make my melasma worse or create new patches. As much as I tried to stay out of the sun in MX, during the times we were in the sun, I used this everyday and reapplied throughout the day. I did not experience any sunburn and my melasma did not worsen or darken even after the trip.

Very thick
I ordered this product a few times. It gives good coverage but it is so thick that it's hard to spread on the skin. It's not for me.
