SkinMedica Essential Defense Mineral Shield SPF Sunscreen for Oily and/or Combination Skin

From the Manufacturer: Introducing the Full Line of Essential Defense Solutions

Essential Defense SPF 32 - Sunscreen with a touch of color - Protects against UVA and UVB rays - Suitable for post-procedure and sensitive skin types

Essential Defense SPF 35 - Lightweight, mineral sunscreen - Protects against UVA and UVB rays - Suitable for post-procedure and sensitive skin types

Essential Defense SPF 47 - Lightweight, sheer sunscreen - Protects against UVA and UVB rays - Suitable for oily and combination skin types

Key Benefits: - All Essential Defense sunscreens provide broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays. - The Mineral Shield Tinted SPF 32 sunscreen may be a good option for those with darker skin tones who are concerned about a whitening effect from sunscreens. - All-physical sunscreens, such as the Essential Defense line, are often recommended for sensitive skin or following a procedure, as they work by sitting on top of the skin to deflect or block UV rays. - In contrast, physical-chemical sunscreens combine physical and chemical filters, and may be better suited for people with heat-activated skin conditions like rosacea.

TOTAL DEFENSE + REPAIR, a more advanced sunscreen, goes beyond sun protection and actually helps support the skin's ability to restore itself, with proven clinical research.

The SkinMedica Method: 1. The Cleanse Factor: Our cleansers range from gentle, daily-use to exfoliating and brightening. 2. The Growth Factor: Growth factors are made by skin cells to help maintain firmness and elasticity. 3. The Correct Factor: Our correcting products work powerfully to address your skin concerns. 4. The Hydrate Factor: Our exclusive hydrator is a powerful blend of 5 forms of hyaluronic acid. 5. The Protect Factor: Sunscreen is essential in fighting the visible signs of aging.

Important Cautions: - Do not use Retinol Complex if pregnant, lactating, or planning pregnancy. - AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser and AHA/BHA Cream contain alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) that may increase sun sensitivity, requiring sunscreen and limiting sun exposure. - Sunscreen is required to optimize and maintain results when using Lytera 2.0 Pigment Correcting Serum. - Most SkinMedica products are cosmetic, not drug products, and have not been approved by the FDA. - SkinMedica's Total Defense + Repair and Essential Defense sunscreens are over-the-counter drug products regulated by the FDA.
