SkinMedica Facial Sunscreen SPF 34 Tinted — Lightweight, Oil‑Balanced 2.3 oz

SkinMedica Total Defense + Repair SPF 34 is a lightweight, tinted facial sunscreen that protects against UVA/UVB and helps counteract infrared and environmental damage while blending smoothly into oily and combination skin.

This daily facial sunscreen pairs mineral and chemical filters with an antioxidant-rich complex to deliver broad-spectrum sun protection plus environmental defense. The tinted, oil-balanced formula is designed to sit comfortably on the skin—reducing shine and evening tone—so it can replace or sit under your daily moisturizer and makeup routine. Active UV filters include octinoxate, octisalate, titanium dioxide, and zinc oxide, while supporting ingredients like niacinamide, squalane, and plant extracts target visible signs of environmental stress.

How does this sunscreen protect against more than UV rays?

Total Defense + Repair combines traditional UV-blocking ingredients with a trio of antioxidants and botanical extracts that help neutralize oxidative stress from infrared and visible light exposure. That layered approach aims to reduce the cumulative impact of environmental aggressors on skin appearance.

• Broad-spectrum UV filters (octinoxate, octisalate, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide).
• Antioxidant blend including ubiquinone, tocopherol, and plant extracts.
• Ingredients that support skin barrier and tone like niacinamide and squalane.

Will the tint work on oily or combination skin without feeling greasy?

The formula is lightweight and formulated to minimize excess shine, making it suitable for oily and combination skin types. It absorbs quickly and leaves a natural, even tint that helps camouflage minor discoloration while avoiding heavy residue.

• Silica and dimethicone help control shine and create a smooth texture.
• Non-greasy emollients like squalane for balanced hydration.
• Tinted finish evens skin tone without thick coverage.

How should I layer this product with my other skincare and makeup?

Apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure and allow it to set before applying makeup. This product works well under foundation or can be used alone as a skin-toning protector; reapply at least every two hours when exposed to sun.

• Use after serums and moisturizers but before primer and foundation.
• Reapply every two hours or after sweating, swimming, or towel-drying.
• Make sure to use sufficient amount for full facial coverage—don't skimp.

What active and supporting ingredients should I know about?

The sunscreen blends chemical and mineral actives for balanced broad-spectrum protection, while complementary ingredients support skin texture, tone, and barrier function. It includes both UV filters and restorative antioxidants without heavy fragrance, suitable for daily use.

• Active filters: octinoxate 7.5%, octisalate 3.0%, titanium dioxide 3.5%, zinc oxide 8.0%.
• Supportive actives: niacinamide, squalane, ubiquinone, camellia and algae extracts.
• Formulation features silica and dimethicone for a matte-smooth finish.

Who is this for: SkinMedica Total Defense + Repair SPF 34 suits anyone seeking a daily facial sunscreen that offers broad-spectrum UV protection plus antioxidant defense, especially people with oily or combination skin who want a lightweight, tinted option to even tone and control shine. It's a good fit for users who prefer a multifunctional product that layers easily under makeup and supports skin resilience against environmental stressors.
