PRODUCT OVERVIEW

What are the differences between TOTAL DEFENSE + REPAIR and Essential Defense?

TOTAL DEFENSE + REPAIR has been heavily researched and studied in clinical settings. It has published scientific data, Before & After photos, and clinical studies. More than a sunscreen, TOTAL DEFENSE + REPAIR goes beyond sun protection and actually helps support the skin’s ability to restore itself.

What is the difference between an all-physical sunscreen and a physical-chemical sunscreen?

An all-physical sunscreen utilizes sunscreen actives, such as titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, that work by sitting on top of the skin to deflect or block damaging UV rays away from the skin.

A physical-chemical sunscreen utilizes a combination of sunscreen actives that include physical blockers and chemical filters to achieve a more elegant and sheer formulation. Chemical filtering sunscreen actives work by absorbing UV rays and converting them into heat energy on top of the skin.

Do the Essential Defense sunscreens provide infrared (IR) protection?

No, only SkinMedica TOTAL DEFENSE + REPAIR delivers the breakthrough benefit of IR protection.

Protect and hydrate your skin daily with SkinMedica Essential Defense Everyday Clearâ„¢ Broad Spectrum SPF 47, a lightweight sunscreen designed specifically for oily, combination, and blemish-prone skin. This oil-free SPF delivers powerful broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection while leaving behind a sheer, smooth finish without a greasy feel.

Perfect for daily wear, this dermatologist-recommended sunscreen blends effortlessly into the skin and layers well under makeup. Its lightweight formula helps control excess oil while keeping skin protected from premature aging caused by sun exposure.

If you struggle with heavy sunscreens that clog pores or leave a white cast, Essential Defense Everyday Clear SPF 47 gives you advanced sun protection with a breathable, barely-there finish your skin will love wearing every day.
