FAQs

How often should I use Dermalogica Clearing Defense SPF 30?

It is recommended for daily use, preferably 30 minutes prior to sun exposure, as part of your morning skincare routine.

Can I use this product if I don't have acne?

Yes, while formulated for breakout-prone skin, its lightweight, shine-reducing, and protective qualities make it suitable for anyone seeking daily SPF protection without a heavy feel.

Will this product make my skin oily?

No, this moisturizer is designed to be ultra-lightweight and includes tapioca to help reduce excess shine, providing a long-lasting matte finish.

What does 'works with your skin's natural microbiome' mean?

It means the formula is designed to be compatible with the beneficial bacteria on your skin's surface, helping to maintain a healthy skin environment rather than disrupting it.

How much product should I apply?

Apply a generous amount to your cleansed face and neck to ensure adequate protection. A general guideline is about a nickel-sized amount for the face and neck.

Is this product water-resistant?

The product description does not specify water resistance. For extended sun exposure or activities involving significant sweating or swimming, reapplication is recommended.

Where can I find the most up-to-date ingredient list?

Product ingredients are subject to change. Please refer to the product packaging for the most accurate and up-to-date ingredients list.

Troubleshooting

Product leaves a white cast

Ensure you are applying a thin, even layer and allowing it to fully absorb. Massage gently into the skin. For very fair skin, a white cast is less noticeable.

Skin feels slightly dry after application

This formula is designed to mattify. If you experience dryness, try applying a hydrating serum or a lighter moisturizer underneath the Clearing Defense.

Pilling or rolling when applying makeup

Allow the moisturizer to fully absorb into the skin before applying makeup. Ensure your skin is properly cleansed and exfoliated to remove any dead skin cells that might cause pilling.
