SkinMedica Essential Defense Everyday Clear SPF 47 is a physician-formulated, broad spectrum physical-chemical sunscreen specifically designed for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin types that require maximum UV protection in a non-comedogenic, oil-free, matte finish formula. At SPF 47 with PA++++ UVA protection — the highest PA rating available — it delivers the most comprehensive UV defense in the SkinMedica sunscreen lineup without clogging pores or triggering breakouts.

The primary active is Zinc Oxide (12%) — a mineral physical blocker embedded in a silicone matrix that allows it to spread evenly and invisibly without the white cast or residue typical of unprocessed mineral sunscreens. Octinoxate (7.5%) provides complementary chemical UV filtering for a more sheer, elegant finish than an all-mineral formula. The silicone matrix system is the key innovation for oily skin: it controls sebum spread on the skin surface, providing a natural matte finish that controls shine throughout the day without powders or mattifying agents. The oil-free, fragrance-free, paraben-free, hypoallergenic formula ensures it won't exacerbate acne or sensitivity.

Apply liberally to face, neck, and other sun-exposed areas 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply every 2 hours. Available at Beauty Riche — authorized SkinMedica retailer with same-day shipping.
