Dermalogica Clearing Defense SPF30 2 oz
🌟 Dermalogica Clearing Defense SPF30 2 oz 🌟
A dual-action daily moisturizer and broad-spectrum SPF30 sunscreen specifically formulated for breakout-prone skin. This lightweight, non-comedogenic formula protects against UV-induced skin damage while actively clearing blemishes, controlling excess oil, and calming inflammation — delivering complete daily defense in a single step.
KEY BENEFITS
- Broad-spectrum SPF30 protection: Shields skin from UVA and UVB rays that trigger inflammation, post-acne hyperpigmentation, and premature aging.
- Clears & prevents breakouts: Salicylic Acid keeps pores clear and prevents new blemishes from forming throughout the day.
- Controls excess oil: Mattifying agents regulate sebum production for a shine-free, balanced complexion all day long.
- Calms redness & inflammation: Botanical extracts soothe irritated, blemish-prone skin for a more even, comfortable tone.
- Lightweight, non-comedogenic formula: Absorbs instantly without clogging pores or leaving a heavy, greasy residue.
STAR INGREDIENTS
- Salicylic Acid (BHA): Penetrates pores to dissolve excess sebum and dead skin cells, preventing new breakouts from forming.
- Zinc Oxide: A mineral UV filter that provides broad-spectrum sun protection while also regulating oil production and soothing inflammation.
- Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Reduces redness, minimizes pore appearance, and strengthens the skin barrier for improved resilience.
- Silica Microspheres: Absorb excess oil and blur the appearance of pores for a smooth, matte finish throughout the day.
- Botanical Calming Complex: Plant-based extracts that reduce irritation and support skin recovery from active breakouts.
