Product Information

Full details

The Estee Lauder Superdefense City Block SPF50 is an energising, go-anywhere formula designed for all skin types (1, 2, 3, 4). It provides robust SPF50 protection against UV rays while awakening and hydrating the skin. Its key benefit is offering high sun protection and serving as an excellent makeup primer due to its sheer, weightless, oil-free, and quick-absorbing texture with a hint of tint. Users should be aware that while it preps for makeup, its "hint of tint" means it's not entirely clear.

FAQs

What skin types is Estee Lauder Superdefense City Block SPF50 suitable for?

This product is suitable for all skin types, including Types 1 (Very Dry to Dry), 2 (Dry Combination), 3 (Oily Combination), and 4 (Oily).

Can I wear makeup over this SPF?

Yes, its sheer, weightless, and oil-free formula, with a hint of tint, is specifically designed to prep the skin and wears well under makeup, acting as a primer.

Does this product offer adequate sun protection?

Absolutely. It provides high SPF50 protection against UV rays, utilizing a blend of both mineral (titanium dioxide, zinc oxide) and chemical (homosalate) sunscreen ingredients.

Is Superdefense City Block hydrating?

Yes, the formula is enriched with Hyaluronic Acid and Wheat Protein to provide effective hydration and keep your skin moisturized.

Is this product oil-free and non-comedogenic?

Yes, it is an oil-free and non-comedogenic formula, meaning it's designed not to clog pores.

What is the purpose of the 'hint of tint'?

The hint of tint helps to subtly prep and prime the skin, creating a smoother base for makeup application.

How often should I apply Estee Lauder Superdefense City Block SPF50?

Apply it daily as the last step in your morning skincare routine before sun exposure. For continued protection, especially during prolonged outdoor activity, reapply every two hours or after sweating/swimming.

Troubleshooting

Product feels heavy or sticky on my skin.

Ensure your skin is clean and dry before application. Use a smaller amount and blend thoroughly; this product is designed to be sheer, weightless, and quick-absorbing. Allow a few minutes for it to fully settle.

My makeup doesn't sit well or pills over the SPF.

Allow the Superdefense City Block SPF50 to fully absorb into your skin for at least 3-5 minutes before applying any makeup. If layering with other skincare, ensure each product has absorbed before applying the next. Its oil-free formula should ideally create a smooth canvas.

I'm experiencing breakouts after using the product.

While the product is non-comedogenic and oil-free, individual skin reactions can vary. Ensure your cleansing routine is thorough. If breakouts persist, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist. Verify your application amount is not excessive.

I'm still getting sunburnt despite using the product.

Ensure you are applying a sufficient amount of the product to all exposed skin. Reapply generously every two hours, or more frequently if swimming, sweating heavily, or after towel drying. No sunscreen provides 100% protection, so limiting prolonged sun exposure is also crucial.
