Product Information
Full details
The PCA SKIN Hydrator Plus Broad Spectrum SPF 30 is designed for individuals seeking robust sun protection combined with significant hydration, particularly beneficial for dry or dehydrated skin types. Its key benefit is offering high, broad-spectrum SPF 30 coverage while simultaneously delivering deep, lasting moisture. A potential consideration is that its formula, while nourishing, may feel heavier than a purely lightweight sunscreen for those with very oily skin. This product features Octinoxate and Zinc Oxide for UV protection, Hyaluronic Acid for moisture retention, and antioxidants to combat free radical damage, all within a reef-safe formulation.

Troubleshooting
Sunscreen feels greasy or heavy.
Ensure you are applying it to clean, dry skin. For very oily skin, consider using a smaller amount or blotting gently after application. Allow adequate time for absorption before applying makeup.
Skin experiences dryness or irritation.
While hydrating, individual sensitivities can occur. Discontinue use if irritation persists. Ensure your skin is properly cleansed before application and consider a patch test on a small area first.
