Sheer Physical UV Defense SPF50


Sheer Physical UV Defense breaks ground among physical sunscreens as a first-to-market transparent, mattifying fluid that is paraben-free with an SPF 50 protection level. Through an optimized preservative system, minimized chemicals, and all-physical proven broad-spectrum filters, SkinCeuticals fills a void in the sunscreen market by providing increased protection in a non-irritating, ultra-sheer texture for all skin types, even very sensitive.


The photoprotection of trusted broad-spectrum, physical filters, 5% zinc oxide and 6% titanium dioxide, is enhanced by artemia salina, a plankton extract that increases skin defenses and resistance to UV and heat stress. This silky sheer fluid spreads evenly and dries quickly, leaving no residue.
