FAQs

Is this sunscreen waterproof?

It is water-resistant, meaning it is formulated to hold up against light sweat and humidity, but it should be reapplied after heavy swimming or intense exercise.

Can I use this on sensitive skin?

While many find it gentle, it does contain a light fragrance, so those with highly reactive skin should patch test on the inner arm first.

Does this leave a greasy finish?

No, it is formulated as an 'essence' to feel light and watery, though it does leave a luminous, dewy finish rather than a matte one.

Do I need to double cleanse?

Yes, because it is water-resistant and functions as a primer, using an oil-based cleanser or micellar water is recommended to remove it thoroughly at the end of the day.

Will this replace my moisturizer?

In humid weather, some users find it hydrating enough on its own, but those with dry skin will likely need a dedicated moisturizer underneath.

Troubleshooting

Pilling under makeup

Reduce the amount of moisturizer used underneath or allow the sunscreen to dry for two minutes before applying foundation.

Visible white/blue cast

Warm the product between your fingers before application and ensure you are blending it thoroughly into the hairline and jaw.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To integrate this product into your routine, apply it as the final step of your skincare regimen before makeup. Use a generous amount to ensure full UV coverage; apply to the face and neck, blending outward toward the hairline.

Compatibility: Compatible with most liquid and cream-based foundations. If using powder products, allow the essence to set for 60 seconds first to avoid pilling.
Care: Store the tube in a cool, shaded place away from direct sunlight to preserve the chemical stability of the UV filters. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed to prevent the formula from drying out.
