Bioderma Photoderm XDefense SPF50+ Sunscreen

The product is good and protects skin from hot sun. Because of the watery consistency it’s easy to spread on, it suits all skin types. I feel it’s hydrating and it has wide spectrum for UV protection.

Tried this product in humid , as well as cooler climate. The product is easy to apply, although the watery texture made some accidental drips sometimes as I pour the product right onto my face. I don't feel greasy after a day out. What would make me buy this product is if the price point is better or on par with other reputable sunscreen brands, especially when compared with Korean sunscreen products.

The sunscreen is very thin and runny. It feels very lightweight on the skin and dries fast. If you rub it in when it’s dry it can pill. It’s also fragranced and is quite strong. The spf rating is high but it does not state that it’s waterproof so I guess it isn’t. It should be good for daily use if you’re mostly indoors and not sweating.

Photoderm XDefense SPF50+ is one of the most dependable sunscreens I’ve used, especially for daily urban protection. The texture is lightweight, spreads easily, and absorbs quickly without leaving a white cast—making it ideal for all skin tones and for wearing under makeup. What sets it apart is the advanced protection: not just SPF50+, but also strong defense against UVA, visible light, and environmental stressors like pollution and blue light. My skin feels more shielded throughout the day, and it doesn’t clog pores or cause breakouts, even with regular use. The finish is comfortable and non-sticky, with no stinging around the eyes. After a few weeks, my skin looks more even, and I’ve noticed fewer dark spots forming despite daily sun exposure. If you want a modern sunscreen that protects far beyond UV and still feels great on the skin, Photoderm XDefense is an excellent choice.

It smells amazing, has a super smooth finish and even acts as a base for makeup. Felt the difference after just one use - you can be confident in the day with this sunscreen on.
