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.

Formulated with titanium dioxide and zinc oxide (Z-Cote®) for broad-spectrum UVA/UVB defense, it’s also infused with aerated silica technology to absorb oil and resist shine — even in heat and humidity. Say goodbye to midday greasiness and hello to a flawless base for makeup, or wear it solo for natural, confident coverage.

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