Dermalogica Invisible Physical Defense Mineral Sunscreen SPF30 — 1.7 oz Sheer, Non-Greasy Blue Light Defense

Invisible Physical Defense SPF30 is a weightless, non-nano zinc oxide mineral sunscreen from Dermalogica that delivers broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection with added blue light defense and a sheer, non-greasy finish.

Designed to sit comfortably under makeup or on bare skin, this daily mineral sunscreen blends clear on all skin tones and uses only non-nano Zinc Oxide for physical UV filtration. The formula includes antioxidant green tea and a mushroom-derived bio-active complex to help calm skin and support barrier comfort after sun exposure. It’s developed for everyday environmental defense—shielding against UV and some high-energy visible light while keeping texture and appearance minimal.

How does this sunscreen look and feel on skin?

The sunscreen is formulated to vanish into skin without leaving a white cast or heavy residue, offering a natural, matte-to-satin finish that works well under makeup. It’s lightweight and non-greasy, created for daily wear across a range of skin types and tones.

• Sheer mineral formula that blends easily into skin.
• No thick or chalky feel—sits comfortably under makeup.
• Weightless texture suitable for daily use and reapplication.

Will it irritate sensitive or reactive skin?

Dermalogica designed this product to be gentle on normal, combination, oily, and sensitive skin. The bio-active Mushroom Complex helps soothe irritation and reduce post-exposure dryness or redness without harsh chemical filters.

• Non-nano Zinc Oxide as the mineral active ingredient—physical barrier rather than chemical absorption.
• Soothing mushroom complex to support comfort after UV exposure.
• Free from heavy fragrances and unnecessary irritants commonly linked to sensitivity.

Does it protect against blue light and environmental stressors?

Alongside broad-spectrum UV protection, the formula provides added defense against blue light from screens and indoor lighting and includes antioxidants to help counteract environmental free radicals. It’s intended as part of a daily routine to reduce cumulative light and oxidative stress on skin.

• Blue light protection to supplement UV defense from screens and devices.
• Green tea antioxidant for environmental free-radical defense.
• Best used with other daily skincare steps for holistic protection.

How should I apply and reapply Invisible Physical Defense SPF30?

Apply generously to face at least 30 minutes before sun exposure and reapply according to activity and exposure—especially after sweating, swimming, or towel-drying. Because mineral sunscreens can be blended thinly, make sure to use sufficient product to achieve full SPF protection.

• Apply liberally to face and neck; blend evenly for a sheer finish.
• Reapply after swimming, sweating, or toweling and at least every two hours outdoors.
• Works well under makeup; allow a moment to set before layering cosmetics.

Who is this for: Dermalogica Invisible Physical Defense SPF30 is aimed at anyone seeking a professionally formulated mineral sunscreen with a lightweight, non-greasy finish—especially those with sensitive or reactive skin, people who prefer physical filters, and users who want added blue light and antioxidant support in a daily face sunscreen. It’s a practical choice for everyday urban and indoor lifestyles where screen exposure and routine environmental stressors are concerns. For best results, incorporate it into your morning skincare routine and follow recommended reapplication guidelines.
