innisfree Daily UV Defense facial sunscreen SPF 36 — lightweight, invisible dewy finish

This everyday sunscreen blends sun filters with skin-friendly ingredients—green tea, cica, and sunflower seed oil—to shield, calm, and lightly moisturize without leaving a chalky residue. Designed for daily use under makeup or on bare skin, the formula emphasizes a natural, luminous look while avoiding oxybenzone and octinoxate.

How will this sunscreen feel on my skin during a busy day?

The lotion is featherlight and absorbs quickly, leaving a subtle dewy glow rather than a heavy film. It’s built for layering under cosmetics and for comfortable all-day wear on normal to dry skin types.

• Fast-absorbing lightweight lotion that won’t feel greasy
• Invisible finish—formulated to minimize white cast for most users
• Works well as a base under foundation or tinted moisturizers

Will this sunscreen help with redness or irritation-prone skin?

The formula includes cica (centella asiatica) and green tea extracts, ingredients commonly used to soothe and calm stressed skin. While not a treatment for skin conditions, these botanical extracts help reduce the visual appearance of irritation and add gentle hydration.

• Cica helps comfort skin prone to redness or sensitivity
• Green tea provides calming antioxidant-rich moisture
• Primary skin irritation tested to support tolerability

What kind of sun protection and environmental safety does it offer?

This product delivers broad-spectrum SPF 36 to reduce UVA and UVB exposure during everyday activities. It’s formulated without oxybenzone and octinoxate, aligning with preferences for reef-friendlier ingredient choices.

• Broad-spectrum SPF 36 protection for daily use
• Free of oxybenzone and octinoxate
• Suitable for routine outdoor exposure but reapply after swimming or heavy sweating

How does this sunscreen support skin hydration without clogging pores?

Sunflower seed oil and lightweight humectants provide moisture and skin barrier support without a heavy occlusive layer. The balance of hydrating botanicals and a non-greasy base aims to nourish skin while remaining breathable.

• Sunflower seed oil supplies lightweight, non-comedogenic moisture
• Formulation minimizes heavy residues to reduce pore-clogging risk
• Pairs well with regular skincare steps like serums and moisturizers

Who is this for: Ideal for anyone seeking a daily facial sunscreen with a natural, dewy finish—especially those who want a lightweight texture that layers under makeup and contains soothing ingredients. It’s a good fit for normal to dry or combination skin types and for shoppers who prefer formulations without oxybenzone and octinoxate. For very high sun exposure, extended outdoor activity, or water sports, consider sunscreens with higher SPF and water-resistant properties and reapply frequently.
