• Caffeine: helps reduce inflammation and puffiness

Customer Reviews

"Light and does the job. I absolutely love this sunscreen. I absolutely hate wearing makeup in the heat so this has been so lovely. A nice lightweight tint all while protecting your skin. No gross smell and easy application. So lightweight and doesn’t have a greasy finish. If it does get to greasy you can always pat with light setting powder or a blotting sheet. I wear this every day." – ★★★★★ Lori, Verified Buyer

"Just enough color. This is a lovely, transparent physical sunblock with a bonus of beneficial skincare ingredients, and just the right amount of color." – ★★★★★ Susan, Verified Buyer

"Holy grail. Wow. Another hit from SkinMedica. Tried this and the SM Total Defense SPF and I prefer this one. I have very fair skin, this isn't super opaque so the tint just melts into my complexion. This doesn't irritate my skin, and it feels like nothing! My summer make up go-to is now this product+ mascara+ lipstick. Done!" – ★★★★★ Vera, Verified Buyer
