Excellent product you will love it has ideal sun protection to take care of your skin from UV rays you will love it I recommend it 100% you can use it the day before your sunscreen for double protection. Accompany it with Makeup in your daily routine and thus achieve a more uniform Makeup and at the same time take care of your skin.

I thought I was ordering what I had before, but it was plain sunscreen as opposed to the tinted.

★★★★★
This is an excellent sunscreen —— I like that it’s not tinted —- and it’s light and moisturizer-like.

★★★★★
Cabinet filled with ‘oodles of products’. I am in my mid 70’s. Finally This is the best of the best. Dewy glow, light yet feels like coverage.
Ashley C.
★★★★★
I've never used a serum sunscreen so I wasn't sure what to expect. It has a soft, milky texture. It does have a iridescent sheen to it, but I like it. Gives me a dewy glow. This product has a lot of hydration & has helped my post-menopausal skin.

Love this sunscreen, perfect for oily skin not greasy at all .
Jlucien K.
★★★★★
I’m high risk for melanoma, in addition to having radiation damage to my face and neck. I MUST wear sunscreen but most feel sticky or greasy. This one goes on a light but a little greasy but is easily absorbed. I thought the tint would affect the way it blends in but it doesn’t. I give it a few minutes to sink in then put on my make up and it’s perfect. Smells nice too. I haven’t sweat in it yet so I can’t report on if it smears or melts on your face.

I love how my skin reflects light and a natural glow.

Love this product! Lays well under makeup! Not chalky or too thick
Kris M.
★★★★★
Absolute best moisturizer with sunscreen I have found in years, it gives the skin a beautiful glow without feeling cakey

★★★★★
I got a sample from the dermatologist and had to purchase this. My skin tone has improved and I love the glow that my skin has since using this sunscreen.
Karen
★★★★★
This sunscreen is great for my skin. I have "normal" skin and other SPFs I have tried dried my face, but this one leaves it so moist and it feels amazing. I use it on top of the SkinCeuticals Moisturizer or by itself and both feel amazing. I also have a little bit of adult acne and it doesnt feel oily on my face. I highly recommend!

★★★★★
I have been using this product for a week now and overall really impressed. It is pricey, wish they would make it a little more affordable but products always seem to actually do what the label says. After first application, product looks tinted but applies sheer. It did make my skin look very shiny at first but After drying down it looked amazing. It did not feel like a heavy sunscreen. And at the end of the day I noticed no buildup in the creases or dry patches which is a huge plus. Definitely...

Im a fan! At the first use, I did notice the piling that Ive seen complaints about. However, I think it might take a while for your skin to get used to this product. After making sure that my skin is prepped well, I have had no further issues. It really gives you a nice glow.
Marcella
★★★★★
Gave me hyperpigmentation after a few days. I loved the lightweight feel and glow, but after 4 days, I started to see hyperpigmentation. I plan to return it.
Teresa
★★★★★
Best daily sunscreen in 17 years for sensitive skin. Im on my second bottle and love. I have sensitive skin, no issues with breakouts. It does not pill or peel for me. I use a squirt of this with foundation before stepping out, and on weekends, I use it alone.
Clara
★★★★★
Pleasingly perfect. I am in love with the Daily Brightening UV Defense Sunscreen. I have been using it almost daily for seven months, and my skin tone has improved! I went without it for ten days during a hospital stay and received compliments on my even tone and brightness.
Mimi
★★★★★
This has been my favorite daily SPF. I use a small amount and make sure my serums have completely dried. It gives me a beautiful glow. I press my products into my skin. Please continue to make this. It agrees with my super sensitive skin!
Mar
★★★★★
Maybe my favourite sunscreen. I've tried many face sunscreens over the years, and this might be my favorite. It has almost no smell, doesn't irritate my sensitive skin, and leaves no white residue. It looks fine under makeup and doesn't leave my skin oily. A little goes a long way.
Mary
★★★★★
Daily Brightening is the only thing I use. It goes on light and bright, providing a bit of coverage. I use it over moisturizer, but you don’t have to. The SPF 30 keeps me protected all day, and I’m outside a lot. I've stopped using foundation and just use this with some cheek color.
Mrskmm
★★★★★
Very shiny. It was too sparkly for me, and my husband noticed too. It does seem to fade dark spots a little, but I prefer the mineral sunscreen. This one was a waste for me, and I’ll rarely use it.
Casey
★★★★★
My favorite sunscreen. It feels rich and moisturizing and leaves a beautiful pearlescent finish without feeling heavy. It doesn’t pill under makeup or cause breakouts, and my skin has been glowing since I started using it.
Jlucien
★★★★★
Finally found a facial sunscreen. I must wear sunscreen due to melanoma risk, and this one goes on light but absorbs easily. The tint blends well with my skin, and makeup sits perfectly on top. I haven’t tested it while sweating yet, but so far, I love it.
Mrsp
★★★★★
Great if used alone, and if the pump works! I love how it brightens my face, but it pills when used with other products. Also, the pump stopped working, and I had to break it open to get the rest of the product out.
Colleen
★★★★★
Not what I expected. The texture is smooth and the finish radiant, but it’s only SPF 30 and tends to pill under makeup or on a bare face. I’ll keep trying it, but if it doesn’t work, I’ll use it on my body.
Terri
★★★★★
I was using the SkinCeuticals Sheer Physical UV Defense, which left a white film. I tried this one for its brightening properties, and it goes on super smooth. I took off one star because the foil around the pump disintegrated and I wish it had a higher SPF.
Jami
★★★★★
Alcohol Denat. I love the products initially, but after a week of daily use, my skin becomes dry due to the high alcohol content. I wish they would remove it from the formula.
Hane
★★★★★
Love this product! I have been using it for over a year and absolutely love it. My discoloration has faded with use! I apply it over a serum and never have an issue.
Terri
★★★★★
This is my go-to brand. It goes on clear and brightens the skin. It absorbs nicely and works well under foundation. I wish the SPF was a bit higher, but overall, it’s a great product.
Amy
★★★★★
I love it! This sunscreen is moisturizing and gives my fair skin a radiant glow. It’s moisturizing enough for my combination skin, but those with dry skin may need additional hydration. It pairs well with my AM products and dries quickly.
Alyxis
★★★★★
I really enjoy this sunscreen. It has 6% titanium dioxide and 5% zinc oxide. It works with my sensitive skin. I use the 3-finger rule, but I get a white cast if I’m not careful, which is why I gave it 4 stars.
Dee
★★★★★
Excellent! Love this for days I’m not wearing makeup. It gives a nice subtle glow. I have combination, oily skin and haven't noticed any issues. It has a typical sunscreen feel, though, and isn't great under makeup.
Lauren
★★★★★
In love! As a Medical Aesthetician, I recommend this product to all my clients. It has improved my skin texture and tone, even though I don’t usually like chemical SPFs. It pairs well with other products, and I highly recommend it.
Erin
★★★★★
Wanted to love it. I’ve used Skinceuticals sunscreen for over 20 years, but their new formulas don’t work as well under makeup. I’m now using another brand, though I still love the other Skinceuticals products.
Wings
★★★★★
Restored my youthful complexion. My skin looks younger, and I get regular compliments. The only issue is availability and website navigation, but the product’s results are super!
Elsa
★★★★★
Hydrating with a subtle glow. I started using this sunscreen for the Tranexamic Acid. It gives a subtle glow and plumping effect. My melasma hasn’t worsened, and I’ll continue using it as a preventative measure.
Jazzy
★★★★★
Since using this product, I can’t go back to any other sunscreen. It’s not oily and doesn’t leave a white residue. It glides on smoothly. I always reapply, especially when outdoors.
Acnelass
★★★★★
I love this sunscreen! I used to have clogged pores, but this product cleared them. My skin seems less red, and I don’t even need to use CC cream anymore. The glow is subtle, and I will keep buying this.
Vera
★★★★★
Wonderful product! I consider myself a snob when it comes to tinted sunscreen. This one is perfect—no white cast, and I get SPF coverage without breakouts.
Erin
★★★★★
Beyond happy! This is exactly what I’ve been searching for since my old product was discontinued. It has a slight tint and evens out my tone perfectly without needing foundation. So glad I found this product!
Hope
★★★★★
Now that it's summer, I’m using 3x the amount of sunscreen here in Florida. This sheer sunscreen has been my go-to for garden/yard days. It absorbs quickly, blends smoothly, and leaves no residue or white cast. Perfect for lightweight protection.
Christine
★★★★★
Best sunscreen ever. It provides coverage that looks healthy and can be mixed with your favorite tinted moisturizer for a natural glow. I highly recommend it to prevent sun damage and discoloration.
Clara
★★★★★
Feels good, looks good, and doesn’t break me out! I wear a mask all day, and this sunscreen doesn’t leave residue in the mask or cause breakouts. It smooths out my skin’s appearance without feeling greasy. Be careful not to apply too much, or it will make you look shiny.
Nicole
★★★★★
I absolutely love Skinceuticals products. I was looking for something to wear under makeup, and this is it! It doesn't dry out my mature skin and has a gentle brightening effect. I haven’t experienced any pilling. I will definitely purchase again.
Alce
★★★★★
Great sunscreen for acne-prone aging skin. A little goes a long way, goes on smoothly, doesn’t leave a film, and doesn’t cause breakouts. No fragrance. The only con is the price, but it's a high-quality product.
Stephanie
★★★★★
Great product. It applies uniformly, feels soft, and is non-irritating on my sensitive skin. Even my teenage daughter with acne likes it. Very happy with this cream sunscreen.
Jenny
★★★★★
Two in one product. It feels clean and non-greasy and absorbed quickly. After 14 hours, my face wasn’t itchy, greasy, or tight. I’ll give it 4 stars for now and see how well it prevents sunburn, but I’m overall very pleased and ordered a full-size.
Krstin
★★★★★
A little too dewy. This sunscreen lays well under makeup and didn’t break out my acne-prone, oily skin. However, it leaves a shiny finish, and the beige, pearlescent tint was too much for me. If you like the dewy look, you might enjoy it more.
Dona
★★★★★
My new favorite. The finish is beautiful, and the slight tint makes my skin look flawless. I wish I could use it all over my body. It’s perfect for my skin, even at my age!
Shell
★★★★★
No white cast. I was hesitant to try it but was shocked. My skin had a lovely glow that didn’t scream disco ball. It works well with my foundation and doesn’t upset my skin. Definitely a keeper!
Anna
★★★★★
This review is for the UNTINTED version: I gave this product a fair 2 months of use before reviewing. The texture is light and amazing. No intense scent. However, the white cast is always there!! My skin is olive medium toned and no matter what skincare method I use, there is a white/grey cast. This is unfortunate because I use the fertilizer vitamin C (AMAZING) which gives you a gorgeous glow, which sadly gets completely ruined by the finish of this. I'm sure the tinted version is amazing but n...
Beaux
★★★★★
Definitely not residue-free. I gave it an honest shot, but it made my combination skin oily and caused breakouts. There are other SkinCeuticals products I love, but this isn’t one of them.
Brandy
★★★★★
Brightening indeed! People have stopped me on the street to comment on my glowing skin. I attribute it to this Daily Brightening Sunscreen. It works well when I don’t wear makeup, and I make sure I don’t run out of it!
Casie
★★★★★
I really like this sunscreen. I have combination skin, with deep cystic hormonal acne on chin and pimples on my cheeks where my mask rubs. This sunscreen gives the most bomb glowy look, does not overdo it though! It is non-irritating to my skin and it actually does its job. Went to the lake several times this summer and this was all that I put on my face for sun protection and I did not even get pink and I am fair complected. I just bought my second bottle after using my first bottle in 2-3 mont...
Debi
★★★★★
I'm on my second bottle of this and I love it. I don't like wearing foundation and I have struggled with sunscreen. The Daily Brightening Defense gives me a light coverage, nice glow and the sunscreen protection. Goes on easily and it lasts.
Shelly
★★★★★
I absolutely LOVE this moisturizer/SPF! I am 43 with fine lines and acne prone skin. My skin reacts poorly to so many products, either making me break out or feeling too heavy or not moisturizing enough! This is just perfect! It is light, perfectly hydrating and does not make me break out. It also gives me just a tiny little glow. This is hands down my favorite moisturizer I've tried in a long time. Buy this!!!!
Lindsay
★★★★★
I love this SPF moisturizer. It was recommended to me by my esthetician since it is lightweight and non-greasy, and I have oily skin. I was hesitant at first because I'm usually not a fan of a pearlized finish, but omg, the subtle glow it leaves is so nice! It does not make me look greasy, just radiant. I'm on my 2nd bottle and I've noticed my skin has cleared up using this, since switching from a heavier SPF moisturizer. I use the silymarin CF serum first, then this over top in the morning, and...
Cathy
★★★★★
I like the product. The product dispenser, not so much. The top is crooked on the bottle to start, but not a big deal, although it reflects lack of quality control. The big problem is that silver stuff under the lid is peeling off, so every time I dispense a bit of the product, this silver shiny goo ends up on my hands and face. Although I like the product, I won't buy it again for this reason.
Shawn
★★★★★
I use a very small amount. I'd say I use about a dime size for my face and neck. I dab that dime size quantity on and then blend into my skin. The product spreads easily and is silky smooth. I like it very much. I'm also using it on a scar that I'm receiving laser treatments on. Over all, I really do like the product and will continue to use, as a lot goes a long way.
Tiffany
★★★★★
I have been using this for about 6 weeks and I absolutely love it! At night I use the Glycolic 10 Renew and Discoloration Defense. In the morning I use the CE Ferulic Acid, Discoloration Defense & top it off with this Daily Brightening UV Defense with SPF. My skin has never been better! My dark spots are fading. My skin is brighter!! This product has a very slight highlighter or pearlescent look to it. When you put it on it just blends out so nicely to give you a nice slightly dewy look! Get it!...
Rachel
★★★★★
I've been using SkinCeuticals products for nearly 10 years, and let me tell you: this new sunscreen does not disappoint! It has a silky smooth texture, that is gentle and refreshing on my combination skin, but feels rich enough in consistency to make your skin feel protected against UV rays. As someone who has previously used Discoloration Defense by SC, I love the fact this new sunscreen/moisturizer will aid in brightening my skin and treating discoloration. I'm surprised by the negative review...
Hester
★★★★★
Perfect for everyday use. I use this when I don't wear foundation. The light amount of color and pearlescent finish help blur imperfections and make my skin look glowy while providing sun protection. I wouldn't recommend wearing under foundation, though, and it does pill with anything on top.
Abigail
★★★★★
I love this sunscreen. Absorbs easily, no whiteness and used with my vitamin C serum, my skin definitely looks brighter. Make up works well over the top. Third purchase. I haven't given it 5 because sometimes I prefer a tinted sunscreen on days I don't wear make up.
Lauren
★★★★★
I have tried a number of facial sunscreens, but this one is my favorite. I like its thicker consistency, ease of application, and the hint of color. And it leaves no white cast. Will remain my go-to sunscreen.
Nancy
★★★★★
Number one, the pump and container are defective. My husband sells packaging. He confirmed. The product is okay if you wear it without foundation. Otherwise, the foundation just sits on top and appears uneven. I've tried fingers, dry sponge and damp sponge. I even tried other foundations. All to no avail. Love this brand! However, this sunscreen falls short in many areas.
Sophia
★★★★★
I love the luminescence in this product. The texture is so silky and smooth. This product is the one out of all my products that I look forward to applying the most! Love to apply to my hands and chest as well. Amazing quality with this whole line. I am obsessed!
Emily
★★★★★
I recently tried this sunscreen. I use this with my makeup. This goes on smooth and creates a nice foundation for makeup application. I like that it also helps to fade dark spots. Will be purchasing this item again.
Amy
★★★★★
I did not want to love this because the brand is not great for my wallet but I really do love this. Absorbs beautifully and no pilling under makeup. Gives a dewy look—not matte. I do have oily skin at baseline and was a little worried about looking greasy but that's not the case with this. It's beautiful.
Sarah
★★★★★
I love this sunscreen - to the point I try to conserve it as much as possible - applying on workdays or going out on special occasions, etc. Thankfully 1-2 pumps per application is all I really need. The sunscreen hydrates but does not have a heavy consistency. It also has an opalescent effect which is really nice - I cant say it covers every blemish but it does tend to even out ones skin tone if you want to go sans makeup. I only gave it 4* though because its definitely not inexpensive.
Natalia
★★★★★
I cant say enough good things about this. From the smell to the finish: Im sold. Every time I run out I rush to get a new one. I love the effect it leaves. So natural and glowy. My absolute favorite.
Kiara
★★★★★
I chose this and ordered because I loved it so much. It gives a lightweight and glow sheen, a nice look after applying sunscreen. It doesnt feel too heavy combined with moisturizer. So pretty.
Julia
★★★★★
I have been using this SPF moisturizer for a few years. Its very lightweight and not greasy. There is a slight color, while subtly evens out my skin tone. Highly recommend!
Laura
★★★★★
I was pleased to find this moisturizer, having oily blemish prone skin its hard to find a moisturizer/ SPF that doesnt leave my skin feeling clogged and greasy. This soaks into skin perfectly and works well under foundation, it is now my go-to product.
Abby
★★★★★
I love this product. Its super lightweight. Does not leave any white casts at all and applies well under makeup. I use it every day! It is also unscented which is a huge plus!
Katherine
★★★★★
I was concerned since this product doesnt have a true tint to it. However, I love the consistency and how my skin looks using this. I no longer need the tint. It has a slight citrus smell. I have acne prone skin and this hasnt caused any new breakouts. I am really pleased with this product and I will purchase again.
Julia
★★★★★
I have been using this sunscreen for about 10 years now. When this new sunscreen came out, I was hesitant to buy it as I read the mixed reviews. I am so glad I did. I love this product. It is far superior to the older one. That one goes on a little watery and gritty. This glides on my skin and gives me a beautiful glow. I highly recommend this product.
Tracy
★★★★★
I absolutely LOVE the C E Ferulic and have seen a huge improvement in my skin since I started using this last year! My only regret is that I didnt start sooner! I just started using the Daily Brightening UV Defense and cant wait to enjoy the benefits of it!
Elise
★★★★★
The lightweight formula feels great on my skin, it wears well over my other serums and is great for layering under makeup, too. I also love the subtle glow it gives me without looking oily or greasy. I do incorporate other brightening and discoloration products into my routine, and this is a great addition to my lineup. One I will be reordering!
Bethany
★★★★★
This product is very lightweight and goes on beautifully, but it broke me out. I switched back to another sunscreen and my skin cleared up. I recommend that one instead if you have sensitive skin.
Breeanna
★★★★★
It doesnt irritate my skin and it goes on smoothly like my Physical Defense sunscreen. This formula gives you a far more noticeable glow or highlight though. I have not noticed a difference in fading dark spots though. I would definitely buy it again.
Amanda
★★★★★
I love sunscreen and especially hate it on my face, but not this one! Its very moisturizing and even seems to have a little bit of an illuminator in it. It doesnt leave my face oily, and its not so runny or chalky that it leaves my skin dry. Ive yet to use it in the summertime, but Im certain that it will protect my skin.
Caroline
★★★★★
Love this new option! When I heard about this new sunscreen I was excited to try it. After Covid, I hate wearing tinted anything. I love the other SC sunscreens so knew I would like this. It’s still new to tell if it’s brightening my face but the texture is smooth, no residue, subtle scent, and your skin tone does feel evened out. The only improvement I would ask the company to add is the blue light protector some companies are adding to the formulas now.
Kayla
★★★★★
This is my new favorite SPF hands down... it has tranexamic acid, niacinamide and a slew of brightening ingredients, so it not only has a great finish that reduces redness, but it also treats dark spots and PIH while protecting you from UV rays! This is exactly what you're looking for if you have dark spots or hyperpigmentation. I love it in the winter because it is a creamy consistency and feels so nice. No white cast! Well done!
Kate
★★★★★
This is the easiest sunscreen lotion to put on and it gives a nice glow. While they are different and the tinted glow screen gives more coverage, I like the Skinceuticals for daytime or when I want to wear minimal to no makeup, but still want my skin to look fresh and nice, with SPF coverage. I love this product.
Nicole
★★★★★
I love this product to use daily. It’s a dual-action daily hydrating sunscreen that protects against UV-induced pigmentation, evens skin tone, and instantly brightens my skin. It’s great for normal, oily, dry, or combination skin. Anyone that has concerns for aging, discoloration, or dehydrated skin should give this a try! It’s a must in my skincare regime.
Teresa
★★★★★
Wanted to love it, got a breakout. Should have checked the ingredients first. I usually use a zinc-only sunscreen and thought this was the same, but it is not. Got a breakout after using a few times so decided to return it.
Cindy
★★★★★
Phenomenal! It’s worth the money. I bought it tinted in Fair. It blends into the skin and doesn’t settle into fine lines and wrinkles. There are several tints to choose from. I applied it in the morning as part of my morning routine and didn’t have to reapply. My use was primarily work and around the house. If you’re planning on being outside and possibly in the water I would suggest applying it more often. I loved this product! It’s the gold standard of sunscreen.
Stacey
★★★★★
I love this product. It evens out my skin tone to the point that I dont need foundation. Its my go-to sunscreen for every day. If Im going to be out in the sun all day, I need something stronger but love it for every day. Im on my third bottle and have had issues with the pump on each one at various times. It would be nice if the bottle were opaque to see how much product is left. Its frustrating to run out and then have it be out of stock.
Carolyn
★★★★★
Pills when applying makeup. This sunscreen looks great unless you apply makeup. The sunscreen pills when I apply foundation. I tried it both with and without primer but it didn’t matter. I would return it but I got rid of the box. Don’t buy unless you are planning to skip foundation.
Diana
★★★★★
This is one of the best sunscreens I’ve used. It goes on flawlessly with a great tinted glow to it. Only thing is it starts to flake off if you rub your face. Barring that, I highly recommend.
Nelly
★★★★★
I absolutely love this sunscreen! Ive tried so many and none of them applied so easily and evenly. Its a thin texture which allows for the recommended amount to be applied without getting too heavy. It has a dewy finish when applied but once dry, its more on the natural side. The only downside is that it will last max a month (and this product is not cheap) if applied in the recommended quantities. I wish they came up with a bigger bottle so I dont have to order it so often.
Brianna
★★★★★
I like it so far... It doesn’t irritate my skin and it goes on smoothly. This formula gives you a far more noticeable glow or highlight though. I have not noticed a difference in fading dark spots though. I would definitely buy it again.
Alice
★★★★★
This product blends smoothly upon application and leaves a beautiful finish. It actually feels cooling on the skin and does a good job of protecting the skin from the sun. Would definitely purchase again.
Diana
★★★★★
This sunscreen works pretty well with my sensible skin, didn’t burn, itch or cause any damage. The texture is perfect, not liquid and not hard to apply. The tint of color is very subtle but allows to blend and match your skin tone. I enjoy this sunscreen. The unique thing that made me reduce a point is that this is just SPF 30, otherwise pretty well.
Sara
★★★★★
The silver coverage on the top part of the recipient is coming out and gets mixed with the moisturizer and on my face. The moisturizer itself is alright. Nothing special. I tried to post a picture of the issue with the recipient but I do not see this option.
Mina
★★★★★
I love this product. Feels good on skin and it definitely provides that daily brightness it says it would. The only thing that I was truly surprised by is the smell. The scent is the same as drugstore SPF creams you get for the day at the beach. It takes some time getting used to.
Ellen
★★★★★
I love this sunscreen! Ive tried so many, and this one has a light tint and goes on clear and smooth, not white. On regular days I wear it as a moisturizer / sunscreen and dont apply any additional foundation for coverage. It has a super light coverage, but enough for a day of just running around town. I have sensitive skin and it hasnt caused any reaction or breakout as of yet. Ive been using it for over a month.
Betty
★★★★★
I have been using another sunscreen product that I really like but decided to try this product. It is so smooth and delicious as it is applied, that it seems impossible for it to be a sunscreen. No ghostly residue or appearance. I am convinced and love the product.
Sophie
★★★★★
I really love the texture of the lotion, it feels great on my skin and I absolutely love the smell. Ive been fighting discoloration and after about a month of use, I feel like its helping a bit slowly (its definitely not making it worse). I have very sensitive skin though that can be on the oilier side, and the lotion doesnt exactly help that, but I love that I dont have to layer on a moisturizer and then an SPF and its just one single step. Too many products wreak havoc on my skin so Im thrille...
Lily
★★★★★
I love it! Yes, it does give a glow to your face, but that is why I like it. My skin looks radiant and healthy. I am in my 40s and it is just the boost I need. It is lightweight and absorbs well. I dont have any issues when I combine it with my C serum. If you dont want a glow, dont buy it, but it makes me feel ready for my day without any tint that comes off on clothes or with sweat.
Lisa
★★★★★
This SPF is truly brightening and gives me an even tone. Helps me fade acne dark spots faster because of the niacinamide. It is part of my morning routine now and will continue buying it. I use it after the serum and under my makeup every day.
Sarah
★★★★★
Love this so much! Lightweight and natural-looking. My FAVORITE sunscreen! Doesnt smell like sunscreen or grandma-stuff either. Im super sensitive to smells, and this has a very light delicate scent that I hardly notice.
Emily
★★★★★
This is hands down the best sunscreen Ive ever tried. For reference, I have tried other sunscreens, all of which broke me out and clogged my pores. This is the only sunscreen I have ever tried that I can use daily and does not irritate my skin or cause breakouts. It gives the skin a nice glow as well which I love. I will never switch from it and highly recommend trying it!
Jennifer
★★★★★
Love, love, love this sunscreen! It is lightweight and has a shimmer that brightens your appearance. Most sunscreens are heavy and make your face look white. This product does not disappoint.
Angela
★★★★★
This is amazing. Doesnt feel heavy, leaves skin soft and protected without feeling like a sunscreen. Love this tiny bit of shimmer too!
Danielle
★★★★★
I like this sunscreen. My skin not only is protected but also a little brighter. Likes sunshine hitting on my skin. Puts me in a happy place. It moisturizes too. SkinCeuticals amazes me with their new products.
Julia
★★★★★
I have recently started using this sunscreen. My skin is a little sensitive and tends to dry up quickly. It is moisturizing and it truly leaves no residue. This one has a creamy texture and a small portion is enough. I have acne-prone skin too and it hasnt done any harm to my acne. So far I am loving this and have set up a subscription for it.
Kecia
★★★★★
I love this product! I apply it over my vitamin C serum and before my makeup foundation. It provides a moisturizing base for my makeup to glide on and I know that I am getting sun protection throughout the day.
Lisa
★★★★★
During a facial this sunscreen was used after I was done. This one is great under foundation. It is moisturizing and really does brighten the skin. I have ultra-sensitive skin and have been using this for about a month with no issues. One of many really good products.
Naomi
★★★★★
I read all the reviews, especially the one-star ones, and decided to buy it anyway, and I was really satisfied. It has a light, easy-to-apply texture and it definitely suits like a nice primer under make-up. The only problem is that it has a low SPF, but its not a problem since I use it in office environments.
Frieda
★★★★★
I love the SkinCeuticals Daily Brightening Sunscreen. I live in the high desert of Central Oregon where sunscreen is a must. This easy-to-apply sunscreen is the last thing I apply before heading outside. It keeps the harmful rays away and adds a nice polished look to my skin. What a great product. I have it on renewal so I never run out.
Julia
★★★★★
I have tried to find the perfect daily face SPF for a few years and finally I have found it. I have found other SPF to be a bit heavy on my skin and in some cases sticky to the point I cant wait to wash it off. SkinCeuticals is easy to use, blends in beautifully leaving the skin with a lovely radiance. It feels very natural on the skin leaving no residue, just sinking in and works well under makeup. This is definitely going to be part of my beauty routine from now on.
Valerie
★★★★★
Love this SkinCeuticals SPF. Not only does it provide protection from sun damage, it gives my skin a subtle glow that enhances my skin. Melts into the skin beautifully.
Olivia
★★★★★
It gives a dewy glow, almost pearlescent. Smells citrusy and seems to be helping brighten. My go-to for years has been another sunscreen, but this has a nice added bonus with the brightening for the price.
Ellen
★★★★★
Hands-down, best texture and absorption. California sunshine is all year long, so it is really important to use facial products that protect. Number one favorite.
Anna

My favorite daily sunscreen was discontinued. I had tried a few different things here and there but nothing compared until I received a little tube of the SkinCeuticals Daily Brightening UV Defense. I immediately knew I had found my new gem to add to my routine. Its super moisturizing, doesnt stink, and theres no white afterglow! Love, Love, Love!

I have been using the SkinCeuticals Brightening Sunscreen for a few years now, and I love it. I apply in the morning after I use my Vitamin C and Hydrate Intensifier. I highly recommend this skin product, you cant go wrong.

I love the texture of Daily Brightening UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 30! I mix it with a bit of tinted skin primer and tinted moisturizer. It provides me with sunscreen, an amazing safe tanned look, and a fabulous glow. It can also be used alone if I am going to the beach. It is so light and easy to use, a little goes a long way. I am about to reorder now.

I love this sunscreen because it is effective in protecting the skin and it feels light, not thick and sticky. It absorbs well and does not leave a white residue. It is lightly tinted and blends well under makeup without pilling. I bought this product after trying a sample and am glad I did. This has become my new favorite!
