Reviews

My favorite sunscreen!

"This sunscreen has quickly become my favorite! It has a smooth application that dries fast, leaves imperfections covered, and Lasts all day long. It blurs my pores, tones down redness from active breakouts, and tints my skin. Truly wonderful for me!"

— Elizabeth M. (5/5)

Great product

"Great product to use everyday to block out the sun rays and have a smooth look"

— Terri O. (5/5)

Great size

"I like this as a back up in my toiletry bag or on the go as it's a small size but goes a long way. Good to pair with the everyday and simple skin smoothing moisturizer."

— Benjamin A. (5/5)

Break out

"Made me break out as it stays on you skin for a long time. And during that time I would sweat, that combined with my oily skin, is a perfect condition for a break out. . . ."

— Kat (3/5)

does its job

"This is ok, i tried it and i prefer the dynamic kind. But it still works well"

Makes your skin look flawless

"I absolutely love this porescreen. It makes my face look so flawless under makeup. I even use sometimes when I'm not going to wear makeup because it blends so well. My face doesn't breakout with it either. A little bit goes a long way. Ive been using this for about 2 years now. I use it when u know i will be outside typically with makeup. But I also use it is I want some tint without makeup too. Ill continue to buy this porescreen for sure."

— Christina T. (5/5)

So good

"Dermalogica Porescreen SPF has quickly become one of my favorite daily sunscreens. It feels lightweight, gives my skin a smooth, blurred finish, and helps minimize the appearance of pores throughout the day. Unlike many SPFs, it doesn’t feel greasy or heavy, and it wears beautifully under makeup. My skin looks more even and protected, making it a great all-in-one product for everyday use."

Q&A

I only use porescreen mineral sunscreen after moisturizing. Some nights I sleep without washing my face. Should I be worried about this or will I have serious trouble sleeping without removing the sunscreen?
Hello Hsnsenel. Thank you for reaching out to Dermalogica. It is recommended to remove sunscreen before you sleep to help maintain healthy skin. Removing sunscreen before you sleep can help reduce impacted pores, and prevent breakouts. Kind Regards, Beatriz.
Is the tent good enough to just use that and no foundation and is it non-GMO?
Hi Suzanne, thank you for your question. The Porescreen Mineral Sunscreen SPF40 will leave a sheer tint, however, if you prefer to add color, I would advise applying foundation over the Porescreen Mineral Sunscreen SPF40! The item is non-GMO. I hope this information helps. Kind Regards, Beatriz
I’ve been experiencing face pilling while applying this product. I shake it before I use it and apply moisturizer first. Is there something else I can do to solve this problem? Otherwise I love this product.
Hello Cameron, Thank you for your question. I recommend applying each product sparingly when layering your skincare. The thicker each layer is, the more likely pilling will occur. I also recommend warming the product between your fingertips before spreading on the face. I hope this helps! If you have additional questions, please live chat with our Professional Skin Therapist on Dermalogica.com or email us at [email protected] Kind regards, Ashlyn​
Can I use this sunscreen around my eyes?
Hi, Angelina! Please avoid the eye area when applying the Porescreen Mineral Sunscreen SPF40. Kind Regards, Beatriz
