SkinMedica SkinMedica Daily Physical Defense SPF 30+ - 3 fl oz

This is a great everyday light not greasy feeling moisturizer. However in the cooler months you might need something heavier. Didn't clog my pores at all. Very satisfied, will buy again.

I purchased two tubes.Within 6 months, the product separated.I called Skin Medica and they refused to accept a return.

This product separates so you get a watery substance instead of the cream, and it don't matter if you shake it.Once you get a handfull of the watery substance then the creamy part after it's a total mess. For the price it's just not worth it.

I purchased this twice, from 2 different sellers on Amazon, because their prices were cheaper than those sold on SkinMedica's website. Once in November 2012 and once in January 2013. The experience of these past 2 tubes were extremely similar.

So I'll just describe my experience with the very last one I just used up last week.

After about 1~2 weeks of usage, as someone mentioned before on Amazon about the same product in a different size, when I squeezed the tube it started to split water. I used it everyday, and everyday I had to hold a tissue to absorb the split water, and yeah that's A LOT. I checked the expiration date and everything seems to be alright. I just couldn't solve the water issue. I sent email to SkinMedica's customer services but there was no reply so I thought I'll just go over to a store sometime.

Then I found a line in the instruction at the bottom of the tube: Shake well before use.

Okay, my bad.

No matter how you shake the tube it just won't mix water with sunscreen. The rest of the tube, after so much water came out, became dry and very hard to spread on skin, especially when it's about to be empty. ----Well, I hope it was at least a sunscreen. So that I was not putting nothing on my face for the past two months.

After using up the whole tube last week, I ordered a new one from SkinMedica's official website because I was also purchasing some other SkinMedica products. I received my new sunscreen of exactly the same brand and same type, but this time it's smooth and NON-DRYING. NO WATER SPLIT.

Then I started to read the instruction on the back of the tube. There's NO sentence saying "Shake well" AT ALL.

Well, just like my previous experience with the brushhead of Clarisonic brush. The cap of the brushhead won't close properly, and the brushhead itself felt WEIRD, I cannot tell why but it's just different texture from my previous one purchased in store. -----After 4 months, the blue circle that was supposed to suggest "time to change your brushhead" did not fade at all. Still bright & new.

I have no idea if this sunscreen is also a fake product or what. All I know is that I'll NEVER purchase it again from Amazon.

Below was my original review written months ago, for the first tube I purchased in store, not from Amazon. I still highly recommend this product; it's one of the best sunscreens I've ever used.

================================================

Strongly recommended to people with acne-prone, oily skin. I've been looking for physical sunscreen for months for my sensitive, oily skin, and most of them (because of the nature of physical sunscreen) were greasy and heavy. This one turned out to be the best one I've ever met. The whitening-effect (another common problem of physical sunscreen!) still exists here, but it's acceptable and can be solved by putting a thin layer of loose powder to balance the unnaturally white color. The best thing about this? It feels cool and dry so won't burden my oily skin. It has a rather solid, dry texture so it will take some time to spread it evenly on your face, but it feels much better than most physical sunscreens. Since it's not water/sweat-proof, I'll switch to more stable physical sunscreens in summer time. But for the rest of the year when I'm not going to the beach or exposing myself in sweaty, sunny conditions, this one is totally enough. Will definitely purchase again.
