The product is available in both Warm and Cool tint options and is presented in a convenient 3 fluid ounce tube for easy application at home or on the go.

How does this sunscreen protect my skin daily?

The Sun Shield Tint provides broad-spectrum SPF 50, blocking both UVA and UVB radiation to reduce sun-induced pigmentation and photo-damage appearance. It also includes IR defense components to help mitigate free-radical activity associated with infrared exposure. As a tinted formula, it minimizes noticeable white cast common to mineral sunscreens.

• Broad-spectrum SPF 50 blocks UVA and UVB rays
• IR defense helps address infrared-related free-radical formation
• Tinted finish reduces ghosting and improves complexion uniformity

Will this product work with sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The unscented, hypoallergenic formulation is made to be gentle on sensitive skin and reduce the chance of irritation from fragrances. Its sheer texture avoids heavy pore-clogging oils, making it suitable for many who are prone to breakouts. As with any new topical product, patch testing is recommended if you have a history of reactive skin.

• Fragrance-free to minimize irritation risk
• Hypoallergenic formulation designed for sensitivity
• Sheer, non-greasy texture less likely to feel heavy on skin

How does the tint affect makeup and skin tone?

The light warm tint offers subtle coverage that helps blur imperfections and reduces the white cast often seen with sunscreens, creating a smoother canvas under makeup. It pairs well under foundation or can be worn alone for a natural, evened appearance. Because there are Warm and Cool options, you can choose the shade that best complements your undertone for a more seamless finish.

• Sheer tint blends for an even, natural look
• Works as a primer under makeup or on its own
• Available in Warm and Cool to better match skin undertones

How should I apply and reapply this sunscreen?

Apply liberally to all exposed skin 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapply at least every two hours or after swimming, sweating, or towel-drying. Use a nickel-to-quarter sized amount for the face and adjust quantity for neck and décolletage. Consistent use throughout the day ensures the intended level of protection.

• Apply 15 minutes before sun exposure
• Reapply every two hours or after water exposure
• Use sufficient amount to achieve full SPF protection

Who is this for? The Obagi Medical Sun Shield Tint Broad Spectrum SPF 50 is suited to anyone seeking high-factor daily sun protection with a lightweight, tinted finish—especially those who prefer fragrance-free, hypoallergenic options. It appeals to users who want a cosmetically elegant sunscreen that blends well under makeup or can be worn alone, including people with sensitive skin or those who dislike white cast. If you need a practical 3-ounce tube for travel or daily carry and want combined UV and IR defense with a natural warm tint, this product is designed with those needs in mind.
