Q&A

Does this product have a scent or fragrance?

Hello Nick, Thank you for choosing Dermalogica. We have maintained a comprehensive clean ingredient list since 1986, and it continues to evolve as standards advance. Our formulas are thoughtfully crafted without artificial colors or fragrances, mineral oil, lanolin, S.D. alcohol, parabens, microplastics, and more. We do incorporate essential oils in some products, which can naturally provide a light aroma; however, this particular product does not contain essential oils and is fragrance-free. If you have more questions, you can reach us at: https://www.dermalogica.com/pages/contact-us Kind Regards, Melissa Dermalogica Professional Skin Therapist

Is your sunscreen “reef friendly”? (Body and facial sunscreens)

Hello CharPax, thank you for your question! While the Protection 50 Sport SPF50 offers broad-spectrum sun protection, it does contain chemical UV filters. For a more reef-friendly option, we recommend Invisible Physical Defense SPF30, which uses only mineral-based ingredients like non-nano zinc oxide. Please let us know if you have any further questions as we are happy to help. Kind Regards, Beatriz. Professional Skin Therapist.

I love the 50 sport spf50. However, we are planning a whale & dolphin excursion in Mexico Baja & would like to know if this is reef-friendly. Thank You,

Hello Lisa, Thank you for your inquiry. UV filters are essential for protecting the skin from harmful rays and reducing the risk of skin cancer. We prioritize safety for both people and the environment, ensuring our ingredients meet strict regulations and standards. We are committed to protecting our oceans and carefully consider environmental impact when developing our products. Our sunscreen range includes both physical and chemical filters, offering options for different needs. Please know that every product undergoes thorough safety and environmental testing before reaching the market. I hope this information helps. Kindly, Sandra

Is the Protection sport SPF 50 ok to use on sensitive skin with rosacea? And, Is it ok to use on top of the perfect skin primer or under? I am also concerned about my pores being clogged, how does either of these products protect against that? Thank you! Michelle

Hello Michelle, Thank you for your question. For individuals with rosacea, we would recommend a mineral/physical sunscreen, such as the Porescreen Mineral Sunscreen SPF40 or the Invisible Physical Defense SPF30. If you choose to do so, you may also apply the Skin Perfect Primer SPF30 as your last step of your morning skincare routine, even if you do not apply make-up. As for our products being non-comedogenic, we do not use this marketing phrase on our packaging because what may clog your pores may not clog someone else's pores. To help reduce oil congestion, we would recommend the Daily Milkfoliant designed for sensitive skin. Kindly, Sandra

Which is your most breathable sunscreen for a one hour run? I’m a woman and need a sunscreen that won’t trap in heat or sweat. I like the 30 SPF Clearing Defense, but I’m not sure if I should buy it again or chance buying something with a higher SPF and bigger size. I think I’m finding my way back to Dermalogica as a brand. Thanks!
