Step 1: After cleansing your face (and applying any serums), dispense 2-3 pumps of the moisturizer onto your fingertips.

Step 2: Apply evenly to your entire face and neck.

Step 3: Make sure you apply it at least 15 minutes before sun exposure to allow the sunscreen to become fully effective. Reapply every 2 hours if you're in direct sun for an extended period.

The 2nd's Recommendation: For external use only. A patch test is always a good idea when trying a new product, especially one with SPF.

This is the most important product you can use for the long-term health of your skin. We love this formula because it feels like a high-end, lightweight moisturizer, not a thick, goopy sunscreen, which makes it easy and enjoyable to use every day. Don't be shy with the application; most people don't use enough sunscreen. A couple of full pumps is what you need to get the full SPF 30 protection listed on the bottle.

A fresh and subtle scent with notes of eucalyptus, cedarwood, and bergamot.

Do I really need to wear sunscreen every day, even if it's cloudy or I'm inside?
Yes. Up to 80% of the sun's UV rays can pass through clouds. UVA rays, which are the primary cause of skin aging, can also penetrate glass windows. Making a habit of applying SPF every single morning, regardless of the weather or your plans, is the single best thing you can do to prevent wrinkles, sun spots, and skin cancer.

What's the difference between UVA and UVB rays?
A simple way to remember it is UVA-for-Aging and UVB-for-Burning. UVB rays are the ones that cause sunburn. UVA rays penetrate deeper into the skin and are the main cause of long-term damage like wrinkles and loss of firmness. A "Broad Spectrum" sunscreen, like this one, protects you from both.

Will this feel like a greasy beach sunscreen on my face?
Not at all. It's specifically formulated for daily facial use. The texture is a very lightweight lotion that absorbs quickly and leaves a natural, non-shiny finish. It's designed to feel comfortable and undetectable on the skin.
