Dermalogica Porescreen Mineral Sunscreen SPF 40 Tinted 1 fl oz — Pore‑Blurring Primer, Oil‑Control

Porescreen blends mineral sun protection with a subtle tint and blurring finish to help even skin tone while shielding from UVA/UVB rays. Designed to sit comfortably under makeup or alone for a natural, radiant look, this 1 fl oz tube aims to reduce the appearance of texture and control surface shine without leaving a white cast.

How does this sunscreen protect my skin while staying invisible under makeup?

The formula relies on zinc oxide for broad-spectrum mineral protection and pairs it with skin-friendly actives that settle into the skin instead of sitting on top. Its sheer tint helps the product blend seamlessly, so it doesn’t interfere with foundation application or cause caking.

• SPF 40 broad-spectrum zinc oxide protection
• Sheer tint to prevent white cast and help makeup match
• Lightweight texture that layers well beneath cosmetics

Can Porescreen actually reduce the appearance of pores and shine?

Porescreen contains refining ingredients and a primer-like finish that create a soft-focus effect to visually minimize pores and uneven texture. It also helps moderate oiliness for a smoother surface, making pores less noticeable throughout the day.

• Blurring, pore-supportive finish for smoother-looking skin
• Oil-control elements to reduce midday shine
• Primer effect that prolongs makeup wear and refines texture

Is this mineral sunscreen suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

Mineral zinc oxide sunscreens are generally well tolerated because they act as a physical barrier rather than penetrating skin. Porescreen’s lightweight, non-greasy composition and skin-smoothing additives are formulated to be gentle while minimizing the risk of irritation or pore-clogging.

• Mineral-based zinc oxide provides gentle, physical protection
• Non-comedogenic-friendly texture that won’t feel heavy
• Suitable for daily use as the last skincare step

How should I use Porescreen for best results?

Shake the tube to ensure the tint and minerals mix evenly, then smooth an even layer over clean, moisturized skin as the final step in your morning routine. Reapply according to sun exposure and follow general SPF practices for continuous protection.

• Shake well before dispensing to blend the tint and minerals
• Apply an even film after moisturizer; allow to set before makeup
• Reapply every two hours when in direct sun or after sweating

Who is this for: Dermalogica Porescreen SPF 40 is aimed at people who want reliable mineral sun protection that also improves the visible texture of skin and plays well with makeup. It suits those seeking a multitasking step—ideal for combination, normal, and oil-prone skin types who prefer a primer-like, non-greasy mineral sunscreen with a subtle tint.
