Dermalogica Protection 50 Sport Sunscreen SPF 50 Lotion — 5.3 fl oz, Water-Resistant & Lightweight Hydration

Dermalogica Protection 50 Sport is a lightweight, water-resistant SPF 50 lotion that delivers broad-spectrum defense and hydration for both face and body without a greasy residue.

Designed for active days and everyday use, this sport-ready sunscreen combines broad-spectrum UV protection with oleosome microsphere technology to help maintain moisture and enhance SPF efficiency. The formula is sheer and breathable, dries without a white cast, and is engineered to tolerate sweat and water for up to 80 minutes, making it suitable for outdoor workouts, long beach days, and daily commutes under intense sun and environmental stressors.

How does this sunscreen protect skin during outdoor workouts?

The SPF 50 rating offers broad-spectrum coverage against UVA and UVB rays, helping reduce immediate sunburn risk and limiting cumulative UV exposure. Water resistance and a lightweight feel let you move freely, while oleosomes help maintain product performance and skin hydration through sweat and activity.

• Broad-spectrum SPF 50 shields against UVA and UVB.
• Water-resistant for up to 80 minutes during swimming or sweating.
• Oleosome microspheres boost SPF efficiency and support moisture retention.
• Sheer, non-greasy formula minimizes white cast on most skin tones.

Will this feel heavy or sticky on my face and body?

No — the formulation prioritizes a feather-light finish that absorbs quickly and leaves skin feeling breathable rather than oily. Oleosome technology binds moisture internally to the skin so you get hydration without a slimy after-feel or uncomfortable residue.

• Light, fast-absorbing lotion suitable for face and body.
• No heavy or sticky sensation after application.
• Designed to layer comfortably under makeup or after skincare.

How should I apply and reapply for reliable protection?

Apply generously to all exposed skin at least 15 minutes before sun exposure to allow even coverage. Reapply after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating, immediately after towel drying, and at least every two hours for prolonged outdoor exposure.

• Use on both face and body; shake well if recommended on packaging.
• Reapply after swimming, heavy sweating, or towel drying.
• For full protection, follow the ‘generous application’ guideline and repeat regularly.

Does this sunscreen support skin hydration while protecting against environmental stress?

Yes — the oleosome delivery system helps preserve moisture and reduce dryness commonly associated with sun exposure. While it’s primarily a protective product, the formula also supports smoother-looking skin by maintaining hydration balance during prolonged outdoor activity.

• Oleosome microspheres help retain skin moisture during exposure.
• Leaves skin feeling smoother without adding oiliness.
• Helps counteract drying effects of wind, sun, and sweat.

Who is this for: Dermalogica Protection 50 Sport is aimed at people who need dependable, high-level sun protection while staying active outdoors — runners, surfers, cyclists, lifeguards, and anyone who wants a lightweight, water-resistant SPF 50 for both face and body. It’s also a strong choice for daily commuters or travelers who want a breathable sunscreen that supports hydration without interfering with makeup or skincare routines.
