Setup, Compatibility & Care

To integrate this sunscreen into your routine, cleanse your face and apply your usual moisturizer before layering the sunscreen on top. Because it is a chemical sunscreen, it works best when applied directly to the skin to bond effectively. Regarding compatibility, the formula is non-comedogenic and works well with most oil-based and water-based skincare products. For care, store the tube in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the stability of the active SPF ingredients. Ensure the cap is tightly closed after every use to prevent the cream from drying out.
