Inside or outside, rain or shine — SPF is your BFF. Learn how our SPF formulas protect, hydrate and nourish your skin.
Because protecting your skin from sun exposure is the #1 way to fight visible signs of aging.
No matter your age or skin type, applying SPF is one thing you need to do every single day to maintain a youthful appearance and prevent fine lines, wrinkles and pigmentation. Even if you’re not planning to be outside for an extended period of time, you still need SPF. Ultraviolet rays from the sun can penetrate windows in your car, office or home, damaging your skin.
We’re so passionate about sun protection that we offer three different SPF options at Skin Pharm. These powerful and effective SPF formulas are easy to integrate into your skin care routine each morning. In addition to protecting your skin from harmful ultraviolet rays, our SPF formulas are gently hydrating and soothing, calming red skin and fighting dullness.
A lightweight, clear SPF for normal, combination, oily and acne-prone skin types and those with rosacea.
Clear Defense is non-tinted, lightweight and innovative SPF that protects skin from multiple factors known to cause premature aging, including UVA, UVB and infrared radiation. Clear Defense combats free radicals and provides the highest possible level of protection while also restoring youthfulness to your skin. This SPF is rich in antioxidants and features high levels of nourishing ingredients niacinamide and hyaluronic acid, fighting fine lines, wrinkles, sun spots and rough texture. The lightweight and gently hydrating formula absorbs quickly into your skin and is ideal for skin types with acne or redness.
A lightweight, tinted, everyday SPF for those who like a BB cream look; ideal for acne-prone, sensitive, combination and oily skin types and those with rosacea.
Sheer Defense is a lightly tinted formula that packs the same powerful UV protection as Clear Defense. Packed with antioxidants and nourishing ingredients to hydrate and protect skin, this soothing formula won't irritate skin and is safe for acne-prone or those who fight redness. If you're looking to ditch your foundation or BB cream on hot summer days, this is a great option, although the formula is still sheer enough to layer under other makeup if needed.
A lightweight, easy to layer SPF for those who like a little more coverage and have dry, sensitive, combination or normal skin.
Our 100% Mineral Tinted SPF is a purely physical sunscreen, boasting 100% mineral-blocking protection. This is ideal for those who experience sensitivity to chemicals found in most SPF options, and provides a tint suitable for most skin types. (This formula will give you slightly more coverage than the Sheer Defense, making it another great replacement for BB cream!) Gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin — including post-procedure skin — this lightweight formula can be worn alone or under makeup for daily sun protection.
Each of our SPF formulas address concerns including sun protection, free radical damage, large pores, acne and rosacea. Our formulas are water-resistant up to 40 minutes and absorb quickly for easy application and reapplication. They’re also paraben-free, sulfate-free, oil-free, cruelty-free, gluten-free, fragrance-free, naturally derived and safe for pregnancy, too.
