FAQs
Is this sunscreen suitable for everyday use?

How often should I reapply the sunscreen?

Troubleshooting
Skin feels tight or dry after application.
Ensure you are applying over a well-hydrated base layer of moisturizer or serum, especially if you have dry skin.
Sunscreen leaves a white cast.
Ensure the product is fully blended into the skin. If a white cast persists, try applying a smaller amount or ensure your skin is slightly damp from previous skincare steps.
Product seems less effective after a few hours.
Sunscreen protection diminishes over time. Reapply generously every two hours, or more often if swimming or sweating, to maintain the stated SPF level.
Pilling when applying makeup over it.
Allow the sunscreen to fully absorb into the skin before applying makeup. Ensure you are not using too much product and that your skincare layers are compatible.
