In reply to Just passing by. Just Passing By, in that case, it'd work well. :)

The US version seems to have an SPF of 50 and zinc oxide if I’m not mistaken.

In reply to Gail. Gail, yes, the sunscreen you chose is good and can be relied on for sun protection. I like most of Skinceuticals products (even though they're terribly overpriced!), but I guess every line has its dud. Thanks for your kind words. :)

Just found your blog. What a wealth of info!

I was crestfallen to see your review of this product, since a couple of months ago I shelled out big bucks for a SkinCeuticals sunscreen. But I see that it is not this one. It is the Physical Defense SPF 50 one (not matte; I got the tinted version). The label says titianium dioxide 6%, zinc oxide 5%. So am I correct that this product would be safe to rely on to protect from UV rays?

In reply to Suzanne. Suzanne, 5% is the absolute minimum, but 10-20% is ideal.

In reply to Gio. A new question for you Gio. How about the percentage of zink oxide. How high does it need to be to be truly effective in protection against all uv rays. I think 20% is quite high. But what about 10%, or 5%.?
