The Ordinary UV Filters SPF 45 Serum excels in delivering reliable sun protection while integrating effortlessly into your daily routine. Its broad-spectrum SPF 45 rating ensures robust defense against the sun's harmful UVA and UVB rays, which are responsible for sunburn, premature aging, and long-term skin damage.
The serum's lightweight, white cast-free formula is a significant advantage, allowing it to be worn discreetly under makeup or as the final step in your skincare routine without altering your complexion. For example, after applying your moisturizer, simply dispense a few drops of the serum and gently massage it onto your face and neck. Its serum texture spreads easily and absorbs quickly, leaving a natural-looking luminous finish rather than a sticky or greasy residue.
Beyond protection, this product offers instant and all-day hydration, helping to keep your skin feeling supple and comfortable throughout the day. This dual benefit of protection and moisture makes it a highly efficient multi-tasker. Its non-comedogenic properties ensure that daily use is unlikely to clog pores, a common concern with some sunscreens. This serum is designed to be a fundamental, easy-to-use step to safeguard your skin's health and appearance.
Cleanse and Tone: Begin with your usual morning cleansing and toning routine.
Apply Serums/Moisturizers: Apply any other serums or moisturizers you typically use. Allow them to absorb fully.
Apply Sunscreen: Dispense an adequate amount of The Ordinary UV Filters SPF 45 Serum onto your fingertips. A general guideline for the face and neck is about a quarter teaspoon.
Gentle Application: Gently massage the serum evenly over your face and neck, avoiding the eye area.
Allow Absorption: Wait a few minutes for the serum to settle before applying makeup.
This serum is formulated for excellent compatibility with both makeup and other skincare products. It layers smoothly without pilling or causing makeup to smudge. You can confidently integrate it into complex routines involving multiple serums, moisturizers, and primers.
Storage: Store the product in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
Eye Contact: Crucially, avoid direct contact with eyes. If the product accidentally gets into your eyes, rinse them thoroughly with water immediately.
Irritation: If you experience any irritation (e.g., redness, itching, burning sensation), rinse the product off immediately, cease use, and consult a physician if symptoms persist.
Children: Keep out of reach of children.
