Obagi Sun Shield Tint Broad Spectrum SPF 50 – Cool

A sheer tinted daily sunscreen in a cool shade, with SPF 50 and broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection.

Key benefits

• SPF 50, broad spectrum: Obagi states it provides protection against both UVA and UVB rays
• A sheer cool tint that helps even out the look of skin tone with a natural-looking finish
• Uses a combination of mineral and chemical filters, so it is not a purely mineral formula
• Obagi also states it offers infrared, high-energy visible and blue light defence. Treat this as a bonus alongside its core sun protection
• Squalane and antioxidants (tocopherol and a vitamin C derivative) are included in the formula

Who it is for

Chosen by Obagi for skin with pink or beige undertones, across normal to oily, normal to dry and combination skin types. If your undertone is golden or olive, take a look at the Warm shade. Obagi advises checking with a doctor before using any sunscreen on children under 6 months.

How to use

Apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure as the last step of your morning routine, after moisturiser. Reapply at least every 2 hours and as needed. Obagi does not state that this product is water resistant, so reapply after swimming or sweating. Combine with shade, a hat, sunglasses and protective clothing, and avoid the strongest sun between 10am and 2pm.

Why Dr Mo recommends it

Daily protection is easier to keep up when it feels pleasant on the skin. A sheer tint softens the look of an uneven tone while giving high-factor protection, so it can replace an extra base step on many mornings.

Complete your routine

Start with a cleanser, add an antioxidant from our vitamin C serums, and a moisturiser such as Obagi Hydrate Light. See more in sunscreens and SPF.
