FAQs
Is this product suitable for sensitive skin?
The oil-free formula and protection against multiple environmental stressors are generally well-tolerated. However, it is always recommended to perform a patch test on a small area of skin if you have particularly sensitive skin.
Can I wear makeup over this sunscreen?
Yes, this sunscreen has a dry-touch finish and can act as an excellent base for makeup. Allow it to set for a few minutes before applying foundation or other cosmetics.
How much product should I use?
Apply generously to ensure adequate protection. For the face, a small amount covering the entire area is typically sufficient. For the body, use a liberal amount to cover all exposed skin.
Does the bronze tint offer coverage like a foundation?
The bronze tint provides a natural unification of skin tone and subtle coverage for minor imperfections. It is not intended to replace a full-coverage foundation but offers a light, even finish.
Is this product water-resistant?
While the product offers good protection, it is not labeled as water-resistant. For prolonged water exposure or heavy sweating, reapplication is recommended immediately after drying.
What is the difference between this and the non-bronze version?
The main difference is the inclusion of a natural bronze tint in this version, which helps to even out skin tone and provide a subtle color correction. The core sun protection and 360° technology remain consistent.
Troubleshooting
Product leaves a visible tint on very fair skin.
Apply a smaller amount or blend thoroughly. Consider using a different shade or a non-tinted sunscreen if the tint is not desired.
Gel feels slightly sticky upon initial application.
Allow a few extra minutes for the product to fully absorb and dry down before applying makeup or other products. Ensure you are applying to clean, dry skin.
Skin feels dry after prolonged use.
Incorporate a hydrating moisturizer into your morning skincare routine before applying the sunscreen, especially if you have dry skin.
