About Physical Matte UV Defense SPF 50

SkinCeuticals Physical Matte UV Defense SPF 50 is a 100% mineral sunscreen formulated specifically for oily and acne-prone skin. This non-comedogenic formula combines zinc oxide and titanium dioxide to provide broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection while absorbing excess oil and minimizing shine throughout the day. The lightweight, mattifying base contains artemia salina extract to boost natural defenses against UV and heat stress, while niacinamide helps regulate oil production and minimize the appearance of pores. Unlike chemical sunscreens that can clog pores or irritate sensitive acne-prone skin, this physical formula sits on top of the skin to deflect harmful rays without causing breakouts. The universal tint blends seamlessly with most skin tones, providing a smooth, matte finish that works beautifully under makeup or alone. Clinical testing shows this formula maintains its mattifying effect for up to 8 hours while providing reliable sun protection that won't compromise your skincare routine.

How to Use
