On the surface, skin-deep (11)

I believe the answer is:

superficial

This clue is a double definition.

'on the surface' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'skin-deep' is the second definition.
(similar in meaning)

(Other definitions for superficial that I've seen before include "12 [TWO DIMENSIONAL]" , "Cursory" , "Not profound" , "Far from thorough" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
