Troubleshooting
My skin still feels oily after application.
While designed to be non-greasy, ensure you're applying an appropriate amount. Too much can sometimes feel heavier. Also, ensure your underlying skincare products (moisturizers, serums) have fully absorbed before applying the SPF.
I'm experiencing pilling or flaking when applying makeup over the sunscreen.
Pilling often occurs when products are not given enough time to absorb or when incompatible formulas are layered. Allow the sunscreen a full 5-10 minutes to set on your skin before applying makeup. Try a gentle patting motion rather than rubbing when applying subsequent layers.
I'm still getting sunburnt despite using the SPF 50+.
High SPF requires generous and frequent reapplication. Ensure you're applying a sufficient amount (approximately a teaspoon for face and neck) and reapplying every two hours, or more frequently after swimming, heavy sweating, or towel drying. Check the expiration date of your product as well.
My skin feels a little dry after prolonged use.
Although it contains moisturizing glycerin, extreme environments or very dry skin types may require additional hydration. Ensure you're using a hydrating moisturizer underneath the sunscreen. You can also reapply a light layer of moisturizer before reapplying the sunscreen if needed.
