FAQs
How often should I reapply this sunscreen?
You should reapply every 2 hours, or more frequently after swimming, towel drying, or sweating to maintain optimal protection.
Is this sunscreen suitable for very oily skin?
Yes, it is designed to provide a matte finish, which is beneficial for controlling shine on oily and combination skin types.
Can I use this sunscreen on my body as well as my face?
While formulated for the face, its broad-spectrum protection can be used on other exposed areas. However, larger body coverage might require a product specifically designed for body application for efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
Does this sunscreen contain any fragrance?
No, this product is fragrance-free, making it suitable for individuals sensitive to scents.
What does 'invisible' mean in the product name?
It refers to the sunscreen's ability to dry clear on the skin without leaving a visible white cast, providing a natural appearance.
What is the benefit of the aloe vera and vitamin E?
Aloe vera and vitamin E are included for their moisturizing properties, helping to hydrate the skin while providing sun protection.
How long does the water resistance last?
This product is tested for 4 hours of water resistance. Reapplication is still necessary after swimming or sweating, following the general reapplication guidelines.
Troubleshooting
Product leaves a white cast
Ensure the product is rubbed in thoroughly until fully absorbed. Applying a thinner layer or ensuring skin is clean and dry before application can also help.
Skin feels tight or dry
While formulated with moisturizers, if you have very dry skin, consider applying a hydrating moisturizer before the sunscreen. Ensure adequate hydration throughout the day.
Sunscreen pills under makeup
Ensure the previous skincare layer is fully absorbed before applying sunscreen. Avoid using too much product and allow adequate drying time before applying makeup.
Water resistance not performing as expected
Remember that 'water resistant' means protection for a specified time (e.g., 4 hours). Reapplication is necessary after prolonged water exposure, swimming, or heavy sweating, even within that timeframe.
