Obagi Medical Tinted Sunscreen SPF 50 — Sun Shield Tint Unscented 3 oz, Broad-Spectrum & Hypoallergenic Cool Tint

Obagi Medical Sun Shield Tint Broad Spectrum SPF 50 is a fragrance-free, hypoallergenic sunscreen in a sheer cool tint that delivers high UVA/UVB protection and lightweight daily coverage.

This broad-spectrum, 3-ounce tube from Obagi Medical combines chemical and physical filters with infrared (IR) defense in a tinted, unscented formula designed for all skin types. The cool tint evens tone slightly while remaining sheer, making it a versatile option under makeup or worn alone. It’s formulated to be gentle—hypoallergenic and fragrance-free—while helping protect skin from the sun’s damaging rays and environmental stressors.

How does the tint affect my skin tone and finish?

The cool tint is subtle and sheer, created to neutralize slight redness and provide an even-looking base without cakey coverage. It’s not a heavy foundation replacement but adds a mild color-correcting effect suitable for many complexions. The formulation comes in Warm or Cool shades for better blending with your natural undertone.

• Sheer cool tint helps neutralize redness and even skin tone
• Available in Warm or Cool to match undertones
• Lightweight finish works well under makeup
• Won’t leave a thick or chalky residue

What kind of sun and environmental protection does it provide?

Obagi Sun Shield provides broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection against UVA and UVB rays. The formula also includes IR defense to address heat-related photo-stress, helping reduce free radical activity associated with infrared exposure. Regular application as directed helps support daily protection routines.

How does the texture feel and how should I apply it?

The texture is lightweight and spreads easily for even coverage; it blends into the skin without heavy residue. Apply liberally and evenly 15 minutes before sun exposure, and reapply at least every two hours or after towel drying, swimming, or sweating. It layers well beneath makeup or over moisturizers.

Is this product appropriate for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The formula is hypoallergenic and free of fragrance, reducing common irritants for sensitive skin types. Because it’s sheer and lightweight, it’s less likely to clog pores compared with heavier creams, but patch-testing is always recommended if you have active sensitivities or acne concerns.

• Hypoallergenic and fragrance-free, designed for gentler wear
