FAQs

Can I use Strobe Cream on oily skin?

Yes, but use it sparingly and consider using it as a highlighter rather than all over your face. Set your makeup with a mattifying powder.

Is Strobe Cream a replacement for sunscreen?

No, Strobe Cream does not contain SPF and should not be used as a replacement for sunscreen. Always apply sunscreen separately.

Can I use it on my body?

How long does the glow last?

Is it comedogenic?

It is non-acnegenic. However, always do a patch test if you have sensitive or acne-prone skin.

What is the size of the travel-friendly version?

Makeup appears patchy or uneven after applying Strobe Cream.

Ensure the cream has fully absorbed into the skin before applying makeup. Use a makeup primer to help create a smooth base.

Product is causing breakouts.

Discontinue use and consult a dermatologist if breakouts persist. It may not be compatible with your skin type.

The glow is too intense.

Use a smaller amount, or apply it to specific areas (high points) rather than all over the face. You can also mix it with foundation.

Apply a smaller amount and gently pat it into the skin. Ensure your skin is properly moisturized beforehand.
