FAQs

How often should I reapply the sunscreen?

You should reapply frequently, especially after swimming, sweating, or towel drying. A general guideline is every 40-80 minutes for optimal protection.

Can I spray this directly onto my face?

No, do not spray directly onto the face. Spray the product into your palms first, then apply to your face, avoiding the eye area.

Is this sunscreen suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, the Vichy Capital Soleil UV Aqua Hydrating Invisible Spray is hypoallergenic and tested under dermatological control, making it suitable for sensitive skin.

What does 'UV Aqua technology' mean?

UV Aqua technology refers to the formulation that gives the sunscreen a lightweight, water-like texture, providing hydration and an invisible finish that feels fresh and non-greasy on the skin.

How long does the protection last?

The SPF 50 provides high protection. However, for sustained protection, especially during extended sun exposure or after water activities, frequent reapplication is essential. Remember that no sunscreen offers 100% protection.

Can babies and young children use this product?

While suitable for sensitive skin, it's recommended to keep babies and young children out of direct sunlight and protect them with hats, sunglasses, and protective clothing. If using on children, ensure proper application and reapplication.

What is the size of the product?

The Vichy Capital Soleil UV Aqua Hydrating Invisible Spray comes in a 200ml size.

Troubleshooting

Spray nozzle is clogged

Ensure the nozzle is clean. Gently wipe it with a damp cloth after each use. If still clogged, try running the nozzle under warm water (ensure the can is properly sealed first).

Product feels sticky or leaves residue

Ensure you have shaken the can vigorously and applied a thin, even layer. Allow the product to fully absorb before dressing. Reapplying too thickly can sometimes lead to a sticky feel.

Skin irritation occurs

Although hypoallergenic, discontinue use if irritation persists. Consult a dermatologist. Ensure you are not allergic to any specific ingredients.

Sunburn despite using the product

Ensure you applied generously and evenly, and reapplied frequently, especially after water exposure or sweating. Remember that sunscreen does not provide 100% protection, and prolonged sun exposure should be avoided.
