[ Review ] Dermalogica Invisible Physical Defense SPF 30

 

Product Description

Dermalogica Invisible Physical Defense SPF 30 is an invisible mineral sunscreen that is ideal for sensitive skin that easily blends with all skin tones and defends against blue and UVA/UVB light. This sheer, weightless broad-spectrum physical sunscreen features non-nano zinc oxide that protects against blue light, UV rays, free-radical damage, and pollution.

Benefits:

-Blends easily on all skin tones

-Helps defend against UVA/UVB/blue light

-Soothes all skin types - even sensitive

Physical sunscreens, also known as mineral sunscreens have become a go-to choice for those with sensitive or acne-prone skin. Unlike chemical sunscreens that absorb UV rays, physical sunscreens work by forming a protective barrier on the skin’s surface that reflects and scatters harmful UVA and UVB rays.

Formulated with minerals like Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide, physical sunscreens are often praised for being gentle, non-irritating, and effective immediately upon application although they have a dreary white cast.

I decided to redeem the Dermalogica Invisible Physical Defense SPF 30 using my credit voucher after signing up for a facial package at AsterSpring. Having recently finished both the Dermalogica Circular Hydration Serum and Dermalogica Skin Perfect Primer SPF 30, I was curious to see how this sunscreen would perform alongside my other physical/mineral sunscreens. 

I always keep a physical sunscreen in my arsenal especially for morning exercises or long walks under the sun. My recent go-to physical sunscreens were the Foretderm Derma Relief Vegan Suncream and Klairs All-day Airy Mineral Sunscreen, both of which I’ve already emptied.

[ Review ] Dr. Satin Caviar Intensive Hydration Mask

 

Product Description

Dr. Satin Caviar Intensive Hydration Mask is a nutrient-rich hydrating treatment mask with GHK-Cu that provides intensive hydration and restores the skin’s balance. The unique formula infuses skin with powerful moisture-enriching actives, resulting in smoother, more luminous skin in minutes.

Purpose and effect: Efficient moisturizing and repairing, soothing and moisturizing the skin

I purchased both Dr. Satin Caviar Vivify Collagen Mask and Dr. Satin Caviar Intensive Hydration Mask as the brand was highly recommended by the Watsons promotor in Ximending, Taipei.

Hydration plays a crucial role in maintaining the skin’s overall health and function. Well-hydrated skin supports an optimal barrier, which helps protect against environmental aggressors and prevents transepidermal water loss. 

When the skin lacks moisture, it can appear rough, tight, or flaky, and may even become more prone to sensitivity and premature aging. Incorporating hydrating skincare such as sheet masks enriched with humectants like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and panthenol help to replenish moisture levels and reinforce the skin barrier. These formulas can deliver an intensive boost of hydration, leaving the skin feeling supple, balanced, and more resilient.

This is my 2nd mask variant from Dr. Satin. The brand focuses on dermatologist-formulated skincare using marine ingredients, vitamins, and biotech extracts. Their products aim for medical-grade results but with gentle, everyday use.
