Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50 is a weightless fluid that combines mineral filters with translucent color spheres for effective broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection and an even, radiant finish.

In this review we’ll be covering all the details, positives, and negatives so you can have the facts when it comes to this product. This article works in a way so you will be able to see multiple points of view before you decide to buy.
Overview
Skinceuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50 is a broad spectrum sunscreen capable of protecting your skin from the shallow, burning effects of UVB, but also from the deep-penetrating, often permanent damage, caused by UVA. It provides safer, non-toxic sun protection that utilizes only mineral sunscreen actives that do not pose any threat to your health and well-being, except for the slim possibility of irritation, particularly from Titanium Dioxide.
Apply product at least 15 minutes prior to heading outdoors to activate the formula. Reapply throughout the day, and doing so more often after sweating profusely or, when contact with water strips it off of your skin.
Years of research concerning skin cancer resulted in the founding of Skinceuticals, a company dedicated to provide top quality care that promotes skin health.
Skinceuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50, US $34 for 50 ml, offers a viable, safer alternative to the toxic chemical sunscreens, having only the mineral sunscreen actives, Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide as primary ingredients.

Pros and Cons of Skinceuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense
- This product only uses physical sun blockers as active ingredients which practically add only another layer of protection rather than trigger chemical reactions like toxic chemical sunscreens do.
- This product provides SPF 50 which allows you to stay in the sun longer by 50 times more than if you were not wearing it, as it blocks an estimated 98 per cent of UV.
- Formula is generally safe for use on sensitive skin types but not clinically proven.
- This product contains polyethylene glycols (PEG), toxic chemicals that easily bind with the carcinogen, 1,4 dioxane during product manufacturing phase.
- The formulation contains very little antioxidants that would have been able to provide additional UV protection while also neutralizing the potentially cell damaging effects of free radicals.
- SPF 50 and up generally provides little incremental additional sun protection, compared to lower SPF grades, such as SPF 30 which already blocks out 97 per cent of UV, although any incremental protection will matter if you expect your exposure to be prolonged, such as when performing water sports activities.
- No substantial evidence is available to prove it is effective.

Recommending To Purchase?
