Its key benefit is offering high SPF 50+ and PA++++ protection against UV rays and environmental aggressors while simultaneously moisturizing the skin and strengthening its barrier.

FAQs

What is the SPF and PA rating of this sunscreen?

The LANEIGE Water Bank UV Barrier Sunscreen offers SPF 50 and PA++++, providing high protection against both UVA and UVB rays.

Is this sunscreen suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, this sunscreen is formulated to be suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, due to its gentle, hydrating, and non-irritating ingredients.

Can I use this sunscreen under makeup?

Absolutely. It is designed to function as a makeup base or primer, creating a smooth, hydrated canvas for makeup application without leaving white streaks or a greasy feel.

How much product should I use?

For effective protection, apply approximately a nickel-sized amount for the face and neck. It's important to apply enough to cover all exposed areas evenly.

Does it leave a white cast?

No, this sunscreen has an ultra-lightweight, serum-like texture that blends seamlessly into the skin, leaving no white streaks or residue.

What are the key active ingredients for hydration and protection?

The key ingredients are a duo of hyaluronic acid for intense hydration and blueberry extract, which helps protect the skin and strengthen its barrier.

How often should I reapply sunscreen?

For continuous protection, it is recommended to reapply sunscreen at least every two hours, especially if you are sweating or swimming. Reapply after towel drying.

Troubleshooting

Sunscreen feels sticky or pills under makeup.

Ensure you are applying the sunscreen to clean, dry skin and allow adequate absorption time (at least 2 minutes) before makeup. Try applying a thinner layer or using a different primer if needed.

Slight greasiness after application.

While designed for a non-oily finish, some users with extremely oily skin may perceive a slight sheen. Ensure you are using the correct amount; too much product can increase greasiness. Blot gently with a tissue if necessary.

Skin feels dry despite using a hydrating sunscreen.

While hydrating, this product is a sunscreen first. If your skin is exceptionally dry, consider using a richer moisturizer underneath or layering a more occlusive product over the sunscreen if not applying makeup.
