Details
UV light isn’t the only light that causes skin damage and visible signs of ageing. Blue light from excessive screen time can also take its toll. That’s why we developed our ultra-light, 100% mineral sunscreen that shields your skin against multiple types of light damage—whether indoor blue light from screens or outdoor UVA and UVB. Formula absorbs quickly with NO ashy residue and leaves a luminous, pearlised finish on the skin. Safe for sensitive skin, fragrance-free, and delivers 100% mineral protection—no chemical sunscreens. *Test result for deposition of selected pollutants with polymer matrix vs. placebo. †In-vitro test results with final product.

Reviews
Favorite Sunscreen for over 5+ years
"I am a holistic esthetician and have tried every mineral, tinted, medical grade sunscreens and this Murad City Skin Age Defense Broad Spectrum is by far my favorite. It goes on smooth, it's thick but glowy, it does not give mineral white blockage. It's perfect for a no makeup day, light coverage or full coverage."
One of the only sunscreens
"One of the only sunscreens that doesn’t burn my eyes. It goes on smoothly under my makeup and adds a little bit of skincare coverage as well. Doesn’t break my skin out. Buy it over and over."
Flawless skin
"Absolutely love it, leaves the skin flawless. Not heavy or greasy at all. Buying another bottle soon."
I love it
"I absolutely love this sunscreen! I’ve been using it for about 10 years now, and I honestly can’t imagine switching to anything else. Even though I have oily skin, this sunscreen never feels greasy on my face. It also works perfectly with my foundation — no pilling, no white cast, and my makeup sits beautifully on top of it. I also have very sensitive skin, and this is one of the few sunscreens that never causes irritation, breakouts, or allergic reactions for me. Another huge plus: it doesn’t sting my eyes at all! This is truly the perfect sunscreen in my opinion. I love it so much and have already recommended it to many of my friends and family!"
Best mineral spf on the market
"Smooth, does not smell at all, not oily. Leaves skin feeling soft"
A Sunscreen That Can Keep Up
"I’m obsessed with City Skin Age Defense Broad Spectrum SPF 50 | PA++++. I ranch, so I’m constantly in the sun and sweating, and most sunscreens end up running into my eyes and burning like crazy. This is one of the only ones I’ve found that doesn’t do that at all. It feels amazing on my skin, lightweight but still super protective. I also love the packaging — it’s sturdy, easy to toss in my truck or bag, and I never have to worry about it leaking everywhere. Seriously 100/10, I won’t use anything else now."
Great
