Description
Physical Matte UV Defense SPF 50 is a 100% mineral, tinted sunscreen built for oily and combination skin. It uses titanium dioxide and zinc oxide for high broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection, with an oil-absorbing, aerated silica base that dries to a true matte, powder-like finish and holds it even in heat and humidity.

What makes it different
Most sunscreens leave oily skin shiny within an hour. This one is designed to do the opposite. The weightless mousse texture dries down to a matte powder finish that controls shine all day and gives makeup a smooth base to sit on, so it is the SPF we reach for with oily, shine-prone, and breakout-prone skin. The light universal tint also helps blur and even the complexion.
The protection
It is a 100% physical (mineral) sunscreen, meaning the titanium dioxide and zinc oxide sit on the skin and deflect UV rather than absorbing it, which suits sensitive and reactive skin as well as oily skin. SPF 50 broad spectrum covers both UVB, which burns, and UVA, which ages.
Daily sunscreen is the single most effective anti-aging and anti-pigment step there is, and it protects every result we create in clinic. After any resurfacing, laser, or peel, diligent SPF is not optional, it is what keeps new discoloration from forming while skin recovers.
How to use it
As the last step of your morning routine, apply a generous, even layer to the face and neck after your antioxidant and moisturizer. Reapply through the day with prolonged sun exposure.
