SkinCeuticals' Physical Fusion UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 50 not only provides broad-spectrum sun protection from both burning and aging sun rays, but it also offers a universal tint that enhances your skin tone and boosts radiance. Designed to glide on smoothly without leaving behind any oily or white residue, this lightweight formula is water-resistant for up to 40 minutes. Key Ingredients: 5% Zinc Oxide (Z-Cote®): this microfine zinc oxide is a mineral filter that reflects sun rays to provide broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays. The particle size and distribution characteristics spread evenly and provide a non-whitening effect on skin. 6% Titanium Dioxide: microfine titanium dioxide is a mineral SPF filter that acts as a weightless reflector on skin to protect against UVA and UVB rays. Artemia Salina: this plankton extract helps boost skin’s natural defenses and resistance to UV- and heat-induced stress. Translucent Color Spheres: iron oxide spheres that act as a color-infused technology to enhance natural skin tone and boost radiance while providing a universal tint for your skin tone. Key Benefits: Sheer, tinted sunscreen adapts to skin tone without a white cast. Water-resistant for up to 40 minutes. Boosts radiance for a more even, luminous complexion Helps boost skin’s natural defenses to environmental stress. Paraben-free and fragrance-free; non-comedogenic Ideal for all skin types, even very sensitive skin.

I am a certified sunscreen junkie, so I couldn't sit still and never try this stuff. I was mostly attracted to it because the company claims this has a PPD of 21, which is much higher than any...

Update 5/15/12: I've been using this pretty much everyday without irritation or breakouts and the dryness issue doesn't bother me if I wear Cerave lotion underneath. I've noticed that when I'm out...

This clogs my pores like crazy. I tried it on several occasions but by the end of the day I had mega-breakouts every time. Another thing is that whenever I used this I would get a strange...

I have quite sensitive skin, so after realising chemical sunscreens were irritating my skin, I researched physical ones and bought this based on the reviews. I wasnt disappointed! Perfect texture,...

This is very light and disappears in your skin. It may emphasize skin flakes but that's not a turn off to me. I fell in love with its texture the minute it touches my face. My biggest gripe however...

This is great stuff! It is like a tinted moisturizer and helps to even out my skin tone while adding sun protection. I like that this does not use any chemical sunscreens. The tint really is...

I love this sunscreen. It is chemical filter free, paraben free, and uses broad spectrum physical filters. The silky sheer fluid blends easily into the skin and dries quickly. It has a weightless...

I'm giving this a tentative 4 stars because I've only used it a couple of times. For reference: I have oily, easily dehydrated, dermatitis and clog prone skin. I've tried virtually every physical...

I think I may have finally found my HG suncreen. I can hardly believe this is a physical because it leaves virtually no reflective film on my skin. I love this and I never really love any...

I love this sunscreen. The formula is very liquid - very much like Sofina Lucent or some other Japanese sunscreens. It doesn't feel quite as silicone-y. You do need to shake it up to make sure...
