I have combination skin so I still need the moisture and as a added bonus, it has sunscreen. It took me a little bit to re-order because they changed the look of the bottle. I have attached a picture that shows the old packaging and the new packaging. Highly recommend!"

Q&A

Hi, could this be applied over age bright serum or breakout clearing booster, or should it be used right after cleansing without any other product in between?: Hello Natalie, Thank you for your question. You can certainly apply a serum of your choice underneath the Clearing Defense SPF30. However, we advise against using more than one serum at a time to avoid potential skin irritation. For best results, you can use one serum in the morning and the other in the evening. This way, your skin can fully benefit from the active ingredients in each product. I hope this provides clarify. Kindly, Sandra
Did this replace the oil free matte spf 30?: Hello Sarah, Thank you for choosing Dermalogica. Yes, the Clearing Defense SPF 30 is the recommended replacement for the Oil Free Matte SPF 30, which has unfortunately been discontinued. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions. Kind Regards, Melissa Virtual Professional Skin Therapist
Hello, I'm currently using the Dermalogica healthy skin kit, but I would really like to switch my morning moistorizer to one with SPF. I think this is the one for me, but $29 is a bit of an investment not knowing how my skin will react. I was curious if you had a travel size of this product, or a sample?: Hi, Destiny! Please visit our website to livechat with a Dermalogica representative for more information on samples. Kind Regards, The Dermalogica Team.
Should this sunscreen be used after OR instead of moisturizer? A reviewer claimed it’s both: Hello, thank you for your question. This is a moisturizer and sunscreen in one, you would apply it alone. Kind Regards, Beatriz.
Is this a broad spectrum SPF?: Hello Brenna, thank you for your question. Yes, the Clearing Defense SPF30 contains a broad spectrum sunscreen. According to FDA regulations, the packing also states this wording. All Dermalogica sunscreens are considered broad spectrum. Kind Regards, Carrie
