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.

Forms a protective barrier over the skin to protect against UVB and short UVA rays.

I bought this sunscreen on a whim, and am so glad that I did! Best facial sunscreen I’ve used. It’s smoothing, mattifying, and controls shine, and provides your skin with a lovely blurring effect. If you do wear makeup, this is a perfect primer base. The fact that it does all these things are an added bonus to the SPF 50 for your skin. Love this product!
Thanks for your review. We are all loving this sunscreen and really you do not have to wear make up over it. Enjoy
At first I wasn’t happy with the texture and consistency of this product. Once I realized it had to be rubbed in well then I began to like this product. It feels oily at first but does not make my skin oily once it’s applied and you let it set into the skin.
This is by far the best sunscreen I’ve ever used. It’s not heavy and oily! My sensitive skin loves it!!
I bought the matte defense spf by skinceuticals and I love it! I didn’t think I would as I bought this because my regular spf was not available. It’s a thicker formulation but it matti does your skin so you don’t have the slick shiny face a couple of hours later. I like how it has a tint as well. Blends easier with your skin. It doesn’t leave a sticky film either so that’s another thing I like about it. Have already repurchase!
I've been using this for a few years and I really like how light it is on my face. I do recommend
