Product Overview - Oil Shield UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 50
SkinCeuticals Oil Shield UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 50 is a professional-grade mattifying sunscreen specifically engineered for oily and blemish-prone skin types. This advanced formula delivers high-level broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection whilst actively controlling excess sebum production throughout the day. Combining both mineral and chemical UV filters, this clinically-proven sunscreen provides comprehensive photoprotection without compromising on texture or wearability. The innovative formulation features Silica Silylate, a key mattifying ingredient that absorbs sebum and creates a light-scattering, blurring effect on the skin's surface. Enriched with Tocopherol (Vitamin E) for antioxidant defence, the lightweight, residue-free texture ensures a comfortable dry-touch finish that remains invisible on all skin tones. Suitable for oily, combination, and blemish-prone skin types, this expert sunscreen seamlessly integrates into daily skincare routines and serves as an ideal makeup base, helping to maintain a fresh, shine-free complexion even in hot and humid conditions.
Key Benefits at a Glance:
Immediate Benefits:
- Superior broad-spectrum protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays with high SPF 50 photoprotection
- Instant mattifying effect through silica silylate technology that absorbs excess sebum and reduces surface shine
- Invisible, residue-free finish that provides comfortable, dry-touch wear without white cast or heavy texture
- Light-scattering properties create a subtle blurring effect that minimises the appearance of enlarged pores
- Ideal makeup base with smooth application that prevents makeup from sliding or becoming patchy throughout the day
Long-Term Benefits:
This professional sunscreen delivers sustained photoprotection that helps prevent the visible signs of premature ageing caused by UV exposure, including fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation. The advanced combination of mineral and chemical filters works synergistically to maintain skin health whilst the mattifying properties help prevent blemish formation by controlling excess oil production. Regular daily use supports the skin's natural barrier function, reducing oxidative stress and environmental damage that can compromise skin clarity and texture. The lightweight formula encourages consistent compliance with daily sun protection, which remains the most effective strategy for maintaining youthful, healthy-looking skin over time.
How will it feel on my Skin?
This sunscreen features an exceptionally lightweight, fluid texture that spreads effortlessly across the skin without any dragging or resistance. Upon application, it absorbs rapidly into the skin, leaving an imperceptible, dry-touch finish that feels completely weightless. The invisible formula provides immediate mattification without any chalky residue or white cast, making it suitable for all skin tones. Throughout wear, the skin maintains a comfortable, shine-free appearance with a natural, healthy finish that never appears dull or flat. The non-greasy texture feels breathable and fresh, even during extended wear in warm or humid conditions.
Who is it Suitable For?
- Oily skin types seeking effective mattifying sun protection without heaviness
- Combination skin requiring targeted oil control in the T-zone whilst maintaining hydration
- Blemish-prone and acne-prone skin needing non-comedogenic UV protection
- Individuals living in hot, humid climates where traditional sunscreens may feel uncomfortable
- Those seeking an invisible sunscreen suitable as a smooth makeup base
- Anyone wanting professional-grade photoprotection with a fresh, dry-touch finish
- Suitable for daily use by adults and teenagers with oily or combination skin concerns
