SkinCeuticals Physical Matte UV Defense SPF 50

High protection sunscreens can be challenging for combination and oily skin types. Enhanced sebum levels due to heat and sun exposure exacerbate this concern by increasing surface oil and shine.

Physical Matte UV Defense SPF 50 is specifically formulated with oil-absorbing powders to provide a uniform, smooth, and mattified finish with broad-spectrum UV protection. Enhanced with aerated silica technology to maintain a matte finish even in hot, humid conditions. Its weightless mousse texture dries the powder finish, optimizing makeup application.

Tested in high humidity and significantly reduces the appearance of surface oil and sweat.
