I wanted a lightweight sunscreen to apply in the mornings and there is no residue left behind with this! I use it as my moisturizer for daytime and it not only leaves my skin feeling hydrated but I can feel confident knowing that I am protecting myself against sun damage with SPF 50. The sun in SoCal is so intense and I distribute it evenly throughout my face, neck and ears. Love this!

This is the ONLY sunscreen that I have been able to continuously use on my face without a breakout. I have tried many 'face' sunscreens and I still end up with pimples, but the Solar Defense Booster does not irritate my skin or clog my pores. I love that I can wear it alone or mixed with my foundation. I have recommended this product and will continue to do so.

I use this product mixed in with my moisturizer. I use the same moisturizer for the day and night. If its a sunny day and I will be outdoors I mix a little bit of this product into my moisturizer and apply to my skin. on days when I am working and in doors all day I do not use the block. It gives me options when to use sun block.

I have struggled to find a product the protects my skin from the sun but doesn't leave it feeling layered or cause a lot of breakouts. I have been using this product since I have tried the sample. It doesn't cause breakouts at all or feel like a layer of icing is on your face and it protected my skin from the sun for long hours. The reason for not giving it 5 stars is because with it doesn't do it's job when water gets on it even with just a slight bit of rain on my face and it does leave my skin oily even while using matt moisturizer with it.

Hello, Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. The FDA approves SPF at a maximum of 50. Dermatologists recommend applying a tablespoon of SPF to the face and neck. Your best bet is to reapply throughout the day for the best protection. Rather than layering. Kind Regards, Bernadette

Hello Vanessa, Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. This is a chemical sunscreen, so it will not leave a chalky residue on the skin. However, if your skin is very sensitive, it may not be ideal. For sensitive skin, we offer Super Sensitive Shield SPF 30. Kind Regards, Bernadette
