Skinstitut Age Defence SPF50+

Living in Queensland I need SPF50+ protection. This is my everyday sunscreen. I wear it under a matte foundation. I find it does make me a little oily by the end of the day, but its nothing a little powder can't fix. In saying that, if I had an important event, I would opt not to wear this under my makeup.

This is simply the best - it doesn't move or make my foundation go funky and it doesn't feel/smell like traditional Zinc SPF that causes a huge white cast. I generally do my morning skincare then this SPF and let it sink in while I do my eye makeup. Love Skinstitut and will continue to repurchase this!

First sunscreen that doesn't make my face oily and doesn't break me out. Easy to put makeup on top.

As much as I wanted to love this product I found it didn't sit well on my skin and made me very oily, definitely can't wear it under makeup either.

I'd be happy to use up the rest of it for when I go to the beach but I won't be buying this again.

I use this product every day mixed in with either my Skinstitut Ultra Dry or Normal Skin moisturisers.

It does take a while to absorb into the skin - just keep rubbing it in until it's completely clear. This is normal for physical sunscreens.

I'll use this product under my makeup and it doesn't affect it at all. Feels very hydrating and comfortable on the skin, but never greasy. Never breaks me out either. Love this stuff.

It took me a little while to work out how to perfect use of product under makeup. Can be a little thick, but just have to allow time for product to absorb before applying makeup. Feels lightweight and not thick on skin, so doesn’t have that yucky sunscreen suffocating feeling. Will buy again.

Skinstitut Age Defence 50+ is a staple in my bathroom. It’s much more than the typical sunscreen. Not only does it provide that much needed protective barrier it also works as a primer so there’s the added bonus of 2 in 1. It glides on so smooth, a little goes a very long way and it doesn’t leave any oily residue.

I'm happy with this. It's a bit heavy and sticky, and gives a slight white cast but I do use it fairly generously. It goes well under makeup if I leave it to sink in for ten minutes or so. No horrible sunscreen smell and doesn't sting my eyes, although I only take it to above my eyebrows on the top and the orbital bone below.

I have a tonne of freckles on my face and seem to end up with a thousand new ones after summer so sunscreen is a must for me. This one is definitely the best I've ever used! It doesn't leave you with that oily feeling and also doesn't have the disgusting smell most sunscreen does! Also able to apply light makeup over the top such as mineral powder.

I have tried several different sunscreens and absolutely hate the smell and the feeling when I put it on. I hate having people notice me wearing sunscreen, it either smells so strong or makes my face completely white! This sunscreen only needs a little to cover the whole face and it clears up to your natural skin colour! Only down side is the sunscreen won't apply properly if not done straight after your moisturiser.

I have tried several brands of sunscreen moisturisers for the face and always had issues (too oily, chemical smell and sting if get in the eyes). This product is perfect. It's quite hydrating, it provides great sun protection (and I'm a fair skinned redhead), it smells great and not once has it ever irritated my eyes. Also great value for money. My last purchase lasted me about 10 months and I use this every day under my makeup. Highly recommend this product (and I just bought more myself).

I have used this product for a number of years now.
I love that it is SPF 50+. It goes on beautifully and doesn't leave a residue like other sunscreen products do. I wear this everyday under makeup.
I have am prone to acne, and previously have been very poor with sun protection. This product does everything for me, and doesn't cost a fortune. And it's Aussie owned!

For reference, I have medium/dark brown Indian coloured skin.

I have tried heaps of sunscreens and this one is the one I am currently using and will continue to use 100%!
It has a very high level of sun protection and I love how it's got Tinosorb and antioxidants. It does not leave a white cast on my skin and blends nicely with my makeup. My skin never burns when I use this. It has a natural finish- more towards matte side but not too drying.

Overall I do Highly recommend!

I was advised by my beautician to use this product with the Vitamin C powder which I do and I really lovely it. It is thickish and white but once massaged in it doesn't leave anything visible on the skin. I'm not keen on products in tubes as it is difficult to get the last of it out but it is such good value, as is all the Skionstitute range, that I will certainly stick with it.

I love Skinstitute products however their SPF50+ is the worst sun cream I have ever used, it doesn't absorb easily and it leaves an oily feel on the skin, I certainly wouldn't recommend this cream to anyone.

Skinstitut Age Defence SPF50+ is a great sunscreen! I like to apply a separate moisturiser on afterwards though.

I usually love Skinstitut products but this one left me cold. I have normal, pale skin and wanted an everyday moisturiser with a good sunscreen (particularly over Summer) but this was not the one for me. It is a fairly thick white cream and firms up as you apply it, so you learn to rub it in quickly! It's a very good sunscreen, just not the silky moisturiser I was looking for - love their other products though.

Great coverage and lightweight.
