    Need to Know

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is this sunscreen also a treatment for dark spots?
    Yes. Beyond broad spectrum SPF 30, it contains 1% tranexamic acid, 2% niacinamide, and 0.3% phenylethyl resorcinol to help soften existing discoloration while the UV filters guard against new sun-triggered pigmentation. Think of it as sun protection and a brightening step in one.
    How and when should I apply it?
    Shake the bottle well, then apply it generously to the face, neck, and chest about 15 minutes before you head outside and before any makeup. It is the final skincare step in your morning routine.
    Does it leave a white cast or residue?
    No. This is a lightweight, residue-free chemical sunscreen that absorbs cleanly. A touch of mica gives an instant brightening finish that flatters all skin tones without looking chalky.
    Will it feel too heavy or drying on my skin?
    It is formulated to be moisturizing rather than heavy, with 7% glycerin for immediate and all-day hydration. That makes it comfortable for drier skin while still feeling light.
    Do I still need to reapply during the day?
    Yes. As with any sunscreen, reapply at least every two hours during prolonged sun exposure, and more often after sweating or swimming, to keep your protection reliable.
    Can I wear makeup over it?
    Absolutely. Let it absorb for a minute, then apply makeup as usual. Many people find it works nicely as a smoothing, brightening base.

    I thought I was ordering what I had before, but it was plain sunscreen as opposed to the tinted.

    Jessica P.

    This is an excellent sunscreen —— I like that it’s not tinted —- and it’s light and moisturizer-like.

    Kelly B.

    Cabinet filled with ‘oodles of products’. I am in my mid 70’s. Finally This is the best of the best. Dewy glow, light yet feels like coverage.

    Ashley C.

    I've never used a serum sunscreen so I wasn't sure what to expect. It has a soft, milky texture. It does have a iridescent sheen to it, but I like it. Gives me a dewy glow. This product has a lot of hydration & has helped my post-menopausal skin.
