The Defender Sunscreen SPF 50

Light weight and works well under my makeup

I absolutely loved this SPF. I have dry skin and this sunscreen is so lightweight that my skin absolutely loves it. Such a lightweight and hydrating formula that I honestly forget it’s an SPF. I also love that one of the benefits that it has is to help with minimizing fine lines. This is all a win for me.

I was so excited to try this spf because I love banish products. This was supposed to be no white cast. But I would blend this out to my hair and it would still have white build up. I was very confused by this. I tried this for a few days and I think this is not suitable for active acne. To blend it out as much as I had to for there not to be any white was ridiculous, it would be painful if I was having a full face breakout. I did like the satin finish to this tho. Just wish it would blend easier. I do think this would be great for someone with lighter skin tone. Will be returning.

Okay. Buckle up. I have never found a sunscreen with spf 50 that I have liked so much. I have oily and acne prone skin and this sunscreen is honestly everything I need. It’s lightweight & non greasy, with gentle, skin nourishing ingredients (like an aloe base!). I am pretty pale so I can’t say how it will work for darker skin tones but I am in loOoOoOove.

I don’t usually review products but this was literally the best sunscreen I’ve ever used… it doesn’t break you out, it’s not oily and just sinks into the skin like a moisturizer! I’m so sad it’s sold out because I’ve used sooo many since I had this last and nothing compares :(

I purchased this product in the Fall and haven't put it to the test until recently. I'm sure anybody here is as reluctant to try facial sunscreens as they are always too harsh on the skin. This is absolutely the lightest, most effective sunscreen I've ever used. Took in a bunch of sun the last couple days and my skin does not appear to be paying the price thanks to this product. No noticeable breakouts or oily skin after use.

This sunscreen is the only sunscreen that doesn’t break me out. Banish is a wonderful company!

This sunscreen goes on so smooth and I don’t notice a white cast. It is very good! I love that it is mineral!

Goes on light and smooth before foundation. perfect feel

What I like about this product is that it's very lightweight, it doesn't leave your skin oily, and a little goes a long way.
I have to be honest, I don't use it daily since I noticed that it makes me breakout a bit.

The only flaws with this sunscreen is that the pump has a hard time dispensing once a certain amount of product is left, and that it doesn’t come in a gallon size. This is hands-down my favorite sunscreen I’ve ever used. It’s not greasy, it’s not drying, it doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin; it dries down quickly and feels weightless, and doesn’t pill when reapplying over prior application. It’s amazing stuff!

liked the weight and texture but it gave me a rash

I genuinely love this product so much. It works perfectly as a moisturizer/primer under my make up and has truly protected my skin like it should. It absorbs like a lightweight moisturizer and doesn't have a greasy feeling at all. I have sensitive skin and break out easily, this is the only facial SPF I can trust not to cause any problems. In fact, I'm convinced it has actually helped my acne heal and clear faster. I also love that the blurring effect it has and that there's no white cast. I recommend this product to everyone and anyone looking for SPF for the face.

It’s light and actually doesn’t leave a white film. 10/10 I love it.

Great but the price is to much

Everything I have from here is the bomb. (Vitamin C oil , spf and moisturizer. Licensed esthetician approved. The only think I don’t like is the black packaging I can’t see when the product is close to being gone.

I purchased the Defender as well as the Banish Starter Kit. I love everything but waiting until more time has passed to review the kit.

This sunscreen is the best I have ever used. I have oily skin and not a lot of acne anymore but many textured scars. This sunscreen actually helps keep my skin from getting oily all day and does have a priming, blurring effect. No white cast and it is SPF 50! I normally hate using sunscreen and I look forward to using this. Just one little pump does the trick.

I am SO happy I found this skincare line. It is already helping tremendously and I am three weeks in.

Thank you!!

I really enjoy using this screen because it doesn't leave a cast and it works well with my other skincare products. It doesn't feel heavy and or sticky. It has no smell, and it adds a finishing layer of moisture to my skin.

I have been using this sunscreen since it came out combined with the vitamin c cream which makes the perfect combo. I use it every morning after washing and icing my face and it leaves the skin feeling hydrated and ready to go. I feel protected against the sun even though I don’t apply it every 2 hours. It feels very light when applying, doesn’t burn the eyes, and leaves no white marks. I definitely would recommend this sunscreen.

Good product. Two squirts is enough. Not greasy and no fragrance.

My dermatologist recommended that I use a mineral sun screen since I have a pretty serious muscle disease that also affects my skin. (Bad rashes, very sensitive to sun light). I’m so glad I found this sun screen. It works so well and it doesn’t break me out or bother my rashes that I have on my neck. This is my second bottle and I will keep repurchasing it.

I wish I had this growing up in California. I’m really sensitive to sunscreens, so it’s been a struggle to find a good one for me. The Defender Sunscreen doesn’t irritate my skin. It goes on like a moisturizer, meaning it isn’t thick or greasy like a typical sunscreen.

It is winter, so I haven’t given it a full test for defending a burn. I’m optimistic based on my experience so far, because I feel like this would be easy to wear everyday, makeup or not, without a second thought.
