I don’t like the texture of this product. It's like a mousse texture that doesn't apply evenly to the skin. Love the brand but unfortunately this sunscreen is n...
Not worth the price
In order to use the correct amount of sunscreen per day, I would use up this teeny tiny bottle in a matter of days. Unbelievably overpriced for such a small amount.Natural glow
Beautiful sunscreen that leaves the skin with the most beautiful hydrated within look. Not greasy at all, and didn’t break me out which is awesome!New Favourite Sunscreen
I decided to try out a new sunscreen and thought I would give this one a go. This sunscreen has been amazing it doesn’t leave a white sheen, it’s not sticky, it doesn’t have that typical sunscreen scent, doesn’t make my skin oily and goes really well under makeup. I will be repurchasing this one for sure!Good overall protection but a little dry
I have been using this as part of my skincare for the last year, it offers great UV protection but I find all of the skinceutical products leave my skin pretty dry. I have gone back to skinstitut products for everyday useLight
Love this. I have very sensitive skin so always worry trying something new. But feels so nice on my skin though, nice and light, leave my skin feeling lovely and soft, unlike some other spfWorks well on oily face
I use this product day and night. It feels refreshing and love it's light texture.Decent
It's decent it does the job the liquid has really nice finished it's thin and glowy.. I would prefer it was a mineral sunscreen but over all I don't mind it :) for a chemical sunscreen I think it's very goodLovely sunscreen
I like this sunscreen a lot, I feel it gives good protection although it is frustrating that it is in such a tiny tube for such a high price. I just can not justify it, if you use sunscreen correctly you need a decent amount so this would last maybe a few weeks if that.Lovelove
offers strong UVA and UVB protection.Lightweight!
I love this sunscreen with a high SPF50. Its so lightweight and non sticky.Just what the doctor ordered
For those that use active skincare and have sensitive skin, this is highly recommended. A religious user of sunscreen since late teens, its a light formula, absorbs well. Great under makeup.Lovvve this
I got this as part of the adore beauty bundle, it is now my favourite sunscreen, so light and sinks into skin well. No fragrance, does not irritate and is very protective. Great sunscreen!Amazing
Amazing, siting good with foundation.Best facial sunscreen
Sits perfectly under my make up not oily or thick. I do not notice I am wearing. A little expensive but I will buy again.Daily use

This sunscreen just amazing!! It's felt light, it's mousse texture, siting good with foundation. Very good for just daily skincare or even with makeup. Doesn't goes oily during the day.Too expensive
I did love this sunscreen, although if you apply it the correct way the tiny bottle is used in no time. Will not repurchase at this price point.Keep coming back
Nice sunscreen. Just bought the third one. Keep coming back to it.my must-have sunscreen
I repurchase several times, and this sunscreen doesn't make me disappointed. It's bit expensive but it's worth.Amazing
I love this sunscreen I wear it everyday and its so great that its 50+Too Shiny
Way too shiny on my skin. Shows up all lines, creases and makes me look really old. Feels greasy by the end of the day. Maybe an okay winter sunscreen but not good in warm climates!The best sunscreen - and perfect under makeup
This is my ultimate sunscreen for my very fair skin - SPF 50, applies so nicely, no pilling, and you can wear make up easily over the top without a primer. So easy!Great sunscreen
Easy to carry, non-greasy, and safe ingredients. A bit expensive so stock up when good promotion deal.Lovely but expensive
The sunscreen is flattering and very easily and quickly absorbs into the skin. However it is quite expensive for only 30ml so I'm not sure if it is worth the price tag.Love it
I use this all of the time. I use it in the morning and whenever I’m out at the beach or in the city. It’s so important to keep your skin protected!!!Love it
I use this all of the time. I use it in the morning and whenever I’m out at the beach or in the city. It’s so important to keep your skin protected!!!Great daily sunscreen
I have bought at least 3 tubes of this sunscreen and it helps protect my and my families when we go out at very sunny day. It’s easily absorbable and doesn’t cause any allergies. The only drawback probably it’s too shinning using I used the rich face cream before it.most loved sunscreen
I really love this sunscreen. The texture is quite light and skin can absorb it easilyFor year round
Very good sunscreen. The texture is quite light. The skin absorbs it easily without leaving any white traces. I wait 15mn before putting on makeup and it doesn’t pill.
.However, I find the container too small. It’s a product that I use throughout the yeargreat spf
this sunscreen has a fantastic texture and it blends in easilyLove Skinceuticals and love this sunscreen!
Huge Skinceuticals fan here, but I don't think I'm biased in saying this is a great sunscreen. I have been using Dr Babor upon recommendation of the Melanie Grant girls and was getting a bad rash on my neck. Since ditching the Dr Babor (which is about $80 a tube) and moving to this one I'm super happy. It glides on seamlessly, doesn't leave a white cast, isn't irritating and doesn't have a strong ...Read MoreI am obsessed with skin ceuticals product
Love the texture of this sunscreen. It is light not oily and pretects my skin well. My skin is sensitive and i have to carefully choose a sunscreen that suits my skin type.fantastic
this sunscreen is light and my face would become brighter after applying it. however, as I'm oil skin, I would only use it in winter as its a bit too oily for me in summer.good choice
A super easy-to-use sunscreen, the sunscreen effect is really great. After applying it, the skin is very moisturizing, non-greasy, refreshing and sunscreen, and the effect is very good. Let people use it at ease! Make me trustworthy!Best sunscreen I have used!
I really enjoy using this sunscreen on my face and neck, is not sticky or greasy and it feel comfortable on my dry skin. Big plus is that it blends in well and does not have a white cast.Amazing - best out there
I have dry skin, and some sunscreens are too matte.
This is perfect, isn’t clogging, and not oily either.
A little goes a long way, so don’t be shocked at the tiny tube.
I’d give it 5 stars, but half a star off just because it is so expensive and is not affordable for a lot of people.
The only one that I like apart from this is the Ultra Violette...Read MoreGood
I dont use much skincare but sunscreen is the one thing I can't go without. This one is great, doesnt have any weird smells applies smoothly and doesnt leave a whitecastEnlarged pores from using this
Ive been using this for three weeks (olive skin) and my pores are clogged up and look noticeably enlarged even my husband noticed. Also leaves me me with a shiny face and a slight pasty look. Love my other skinceuticals products but this one is not for me.Pricey but amazing
I got this sunscreen from a SkinCeuticals set. It's lightweight and minimal cast (which turns into nothing after it sets), a tiny bit alcohol. Since this is the only sunscreen available of SkinCeuticals on AdoreBeauty, I trust its potency. However, 55AUD for 30ml is just way to0 expensive for a necessity like sunscreen, especially when it should be applied very generously to reach the protective p...Read MoreGreat sunscreen
This is a really nice sunscreen for my skin type which is dry. The consistency is lovely, its not thick and it offers a moisturising, hydrated finish which works well under makeup. You have to let it sit for a while so it doesn't pill under makeup though. It is expensive for the amount you get so I took off a star, but the high level filters make this a quality sunscreen. Will definitely repurchas...Read Moreone of the best
one of the best sun protection products I have ever used. very light weight, high protection. will keep buying it.Must have at home
Definitely like this product! I need to use the makeup sponge to spread the sunscreen over the face. I would recommend using this without makeup since it could be ruined or your makeup would be ruined. But it could go easily with foam cleanser which means time-saving and suitable for me.Best Suncreen Hands Down
Love this sunscreen. I use it everyday as I am using retinols too and love the texture. Non greasy. Very easy to absorb and no sheen. Happy days!Great moisturizer
Living in North Queensland I take the sun protection very seriously , I use SPF50 moisturizers even during the winter time.
This moisturizer ticks all the boxes for me. I started to use it about a month ago and it is just perfect for this time of the year . It offers a good hydration level , it absorbs really quick and it works really well under make up.
Worth every cents !
I love this sunscreen. It’s so so lightweight and doesn’t block my pore at all. Probably one of the cheapest but strongest candidate from Skinceuticals.Excellent sunscreen but small size of tube presents risk
I’ve purchased this to replace my previous staple sunscreen which was a now discontinued Skinceuticals product. This is a brand which has a very wide range of different sunscreen presentations which for some unknown reason are not offered for sale in AU. Anyway I’ve been on a new sunscreen hunt and have researched and have recently purchased and tried three other sunscreens including Ultra Violett...Read MoreBest sunscreen I’ve ever used
I didn’t know a sunscreen could feel this nice on my skin. I’m used to trying greasy ones that leave a white cast on your face. This blends so nicely and you wouldn’t even know you have sunscreen on. It’s so hydrating too. I love and will repurchase for sure.Amazing!
I love this sunscreen! It wears so well under makeup - it doesn’t pill or look greasy. It doesn’t make my makeup slide off. It’s brilliant. I will definitely be repurchasing.Very good sunscreen
This product is very good as it does it smooth, easy to apply, doesn't make my skin look so oily ( I have normal skin type). However, it is a bit pricey. I've been using it during winter, so I can't tell how it will protect my skin in summer.Fantastic product but why so small?
This is definitely the best SPF product I have used. I've tried so many but this is the first one that has ticked every single box. The only downside and the reason it loses 1/2 a star is the bottle size. It's TEENY TINY!! When I first opened the box I felt ripped off! But now I'm so hooked I'll have to keep forking out the big bucks for this tiny bottle of SPF gold.:(
I don’t like the texture of this product. It's like a mousse texture that doesn't apply evenly to the skin. Love the brand but unfortunately this sunscreen is not for me.Amazing but SUPER pricey
This SPF works wonders for my oily skin! Upon application it can be quite greasy but after a few minutes it absorbs into the skin nicely and doesn't leave a white cast. This is the only sunscreen I have used that doesn't cause my skin to breakout. Will definitely repurchase again.Another Skinceuticals winner!
A great SPF that layers really well over skincare and under make up.
I purchased it based on recommendations from others who constantly repurchase.
It is expensive. I think that there are other SPFs that work as well as this for less money, but if you feel like
treating yourself, you won't be disappointed!
my skin is in love with it!
I have tried many different sunscreen in the past few years and I am exposed in the sun a lot during the day. Tried Avene, La Roche-posay, Sofina, Shisheido's sunscreen etc. and there is just something my skin doesnt like about them (I rarely get breakouts, but it does affect my skin somewhat)
So far I LOVE this Skinceuticals sunscreen! I put a coin size of it on my face everyday, to...Read MoreGood but pricy
I wanted a sunscreen which is light and good for sensitive skin , and I wanted to have no colour so I can wear it under make up.
It actually delivers all the above but 30 ml is just too small for what you pay. I might buy it again though ...Very good, a little sticky
I really like this sunscreen because it is very light and hydrating and it smells good. However it is a little sticky and probably not great for people with oily skin. I would recommend this cleanser to people with dry skin and people who like a hydrating sunscreen that is light with very good sunscreen filters in it.Great but expensive
I have combo skin and this applies nicely and does not break out my skin. One of the best sunscreensbest sunscreen
Finished 3 bottles already. Easy to absorb like a moisture. but the 30ml is too small as sunscreen. I can finish in only one month.Cosmetically elegant sunscreen
Great sunscreen - not sticky or greasy and has a nice satin finish. Has not caused any breakouts and doesn't look gross at the end of the day on my normal-oily skin on makeup-free days. Sits well under makeup. If you are my skintone (NC40-42), there is a white cast on application but it does fade after a few minutes.Good overall
I found this sunscreen to offer an overall good protection. Unfortunately did leave a rather greasy residue in comparison to other brands. However still does what it supposed to do without any other desired critiques.SPF50 with no breakouts
Most facial sunscreens I have tried lead to breakouts. This however does not. It may seem like a small bottle, but it lasts a long time and has a small nozzle so you can control how much you are using each day.Loving it
This has good active ingredients and applies nicely on my skin. It does not leave a cast or feel very thickSkinCeuticals Ultra Facial Defense
SkinCeuticals Ultra Facial Defense - Perfect for everyday - high spf 50 but lightweight and great under make up or on its own! My #1 favourite product!Perfect Sunscreen
I like the products of Skinceuticals very much. This sunscreen is also a perfect product. It has no smell, is light and easy to absorb. It's great to use it and then make up.Perfect everyday sunscreen
This is the perfect everyday sunscreen. Sits well on top of skincare and offers a dew under makeup. No white cast at all and contains really good UVA filters. I wouldn’t rely on this for spending 2+ hours at the beach in summer, I think something more heavy duty would be better in those circumstances. This also won’t break you out. Some thick zinc sunscreens seem to clog my pores and this doesn’t ...Read MoreQuick and easy effective sunscreen
With my busy lifestyle I love products that get the job done effectively and are quick and easy to apply. The fluidneds kd this product helps in that department. After giving it a few minutes to absorb, it does not look greasy. Contains physical blockers that I look for in an effective sunscreen. Unfortunately a slight white cast but to be expected for such an effective SPF. Would be good to see a...Read Morenice sunscreen product
Purchase a set including this product again. I like it, not sticky, high protection.nice sunscreen for summer time
I am quite surprised when I tried this out for the first time. It is not greasy at all, very similar to some Japanese brands that I've used in the past. Not really any smell so I like it and very breathable in summer.great product
Really nice product. Soft 50+ is enough for normal use. One of my favorite brand.Light and comfortable
Loving this sunscreen - and I am really picky! I have sensitive skin and it doesn't irritate me. It doesn't smell, goes on the skin smooth and doesn't leave me greasy.Literally the best sunscreen
This is the best sunscreen/moisturiser I've used. It feels more like a lush moisturiser than a sunscreen and doesn't sting my eyes at all. It's really hydrating and smooths over the face so well - Highly recommend!Very good product
A lovely, light sun-screen. I use winter and summer, it's light and has a great texture. It doesn't 'sit' on the skin, or feel heavy, or clog up pores.. It can also double-up as a moisturiser if you don't have dry skin.best sunscreen
Very good sunscreen, not oily, perfect under makeupExcellent Sunscreen
I love this sunscreen! It feels great and has no smell. I have been using it for about 3 weeks and have had no breakouts. It does come across as a little shiny, but that is easily solved as I always use a translucent powder over my sunscreens.
Would highly recommend this sunscreen.

Best facial sunscreen I've tried. Both non-comedogenic and hydrating, which makes it suitable for my acne-prone yet dry-to-combination skin. Might be too 'dewy' for super oily skin types, but I've found that any excessive dewiness settles pretty quickly once I'm outside. Doesn't break me out and functions as a moisturiser and primer in addition to SPF.Great
This sunscreen feels like a primer on my skin and does not pill or break out my skinVery good
I am a sunscreen fanatic, obsessed actually. I love how this product is hydrating with sun protection, no smell, very hydrating, doesn't irritate my skin and it doesn't end up in your eyes like most sunscreens. The only negative thing I have to say about this product is that it makes my face look overly shiny. I love the dewy look, but this takes dewy to the next level, but to be fair i dont k...Read MoreNice product
Was previously using Mecca's To Save Face sunscreen, but I noticed that that would irritate my eyes throughout the day (product would somehow get in my eyes from blinking, etc). This sunscreen doesn't irritate like that. It feels light, moisturising and nice on the skin. Only problem is that it doesn't matte my oily skin like Mecca's one. Also, it's a small tube but you only need to use a little b...Read MoreHappy with this sunscreen, but still looking for a HG
Bought this as I am looking for a SPF50 physical sunscreen to replace my Mecca TSF 50SPF which was my previous HG but is a chemical sunscreen.
Pros: formulation feels good, its lighter/thinner than TSF, less fragrance, spreads nicely on skin and easy to rub in over my AM vitamin C serum. I've noticed less pilling with the skinceuticals than with the TSF too which is good. I haven't o...Read MoreGreat!
I really love this product. I have combination skin with large pores and was worried about an SPF making my skin more oily throughout the day but haven't experienced this at all. It also sits perfectly underneath make-up!Great for protecting skin from the sun
Great for protecting skin from the sun. I apply this one every morning before leaving the house. I feel like it makes a big difference.Best facial sunscreen so far
I’ve been looking a non greasy facial sunscreen for a while, this one is the best so far! And it won’t mess up with following makeup. My skin is very sensitive and this doesn’t make my face feel itchy.Does the job
Didn’t cause any breakouts or any kind of skin irritation for me. Contains physical sun blocker active ingredients (oxides) which are more reliable than chemical options. Feels like a nice non-greasy formula, although I find the texture a bit thick and a bit time consuming to apply evenly to avoid white cast. I have a medium skin tone and find that it makes me look more noticeably pale. Will prob...Read MoreThe best sun protection
I use this every day to protect my skin from the sun. It is a great, light sunscreen.Great
This sunscreen sits really well on my skin. Just a bit expensiveNothing beats this!
This stuff protects skin from the sun without leaving a white cast like most sunscreens do. Layers beautifully under makeup and doesn't irritate or break out my skin. Will continue to buy this!Best sunscreen
This is my favourite sunscreen, it's light weight, melt like face cream, I can still layer my primer foundation without issues. wish was more in one tubeOne of the best sunscreens on the market
One of the best sunscreens on the market, it works so well and feels way more like a moisturiser than a sunscreen.not oily and good color
this sunprotection cream is the best i have ever used. but a little expensive honestly.The holy grail of SPF
To find a suncream that ticks all the boxes has proven very difficult for me. One that doesn't break you out, sit heavily or clog pores, not bright white in colour and not heavily fragrance. Look no further!
