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.



The way it helps 

  • Evenly distributes active ingredients for enhanced effectiveness 

  • Sheer mattifying texture ideal for oily and acneic skin types Non-comedogenic

  • Physical Sun Filters Only

  • No sensitivity issues common to chemical sunscreens 

  • Usable by all skin types Broad-spectrum UV protection

  • Artemia Salina

  • Increases skin defenses and resistance to UV and heat stress



Key Ingredients
