Frequently Asked Questions
Is this sunscreen safe after microneedling or laser treatments?
Yes. This sunscreen is specially formulated for use on post-procedure skin, offering protection without irritation. Physical blockers sit on top of the skin rather than absorbing into it, reducing the risk of stinging or sensitivity during the healing process.
Does it leave a white cast?
The sheer, lightweight formula is designed to blend into most skin tones with minimal residue. While it is a mineral sunscreen, the advanced micronized formulation helps it disappear quickly compared to traditional zinc pastes.
Can I use it with other personal care products?
Absolutely. It layers well over serums and moisturizers and under makeup. Its matte finish actually functions as a great primer, preventing makeup from slipping or looking greasy throughout the day.
How often should I reapply?
Reapply every 2 hours when outdoors and immediately after sweating or swimming. Even the best sunscreens break down or wipe off over time, so consistent reapplication is key to preventing sun damage.
Is it safe for acne-prone skin?
Yes. It’s non-comedogenic, oil-free, and lightweight, ideal for breakout-prone skin. The zinc oxide in the formula also has natural calming properties that can be beneficial for inflamed or congested skin.
How should I apply it for the best results?
Apply it evenly to clean, dry skin 15 minutes before sun exposure. Use enough product to cover all exposed areas, and be sure not to skip often-missed spots like the ears, neck, and hairline.
