Geologie - Tone Control Face Cream with SPF15

Hero Ingredients: These are the key players that protect, soothe, and mattify.

Zinc Oxide & Octinoxate (Sunscreen Agents): This pair provides your broad-spectrum sun protection. Zinc Oxide is a mineral (or physical) sunscreen that sits on top of the skin to block UV rays, and it's known for being gentle and great for sensitive skin. Octinoxate is a chemical sunscreen that absorbs UV radiation.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): A true skincare superstar. Niacinamide is fantastic at calming redness and irritation, helping to strengthen the skin's barrier, and regulating oil production to reduce shine.

Hyaluronic Acid: A powerful humectant that draws moisture into the skin, providing lightweight hydration without feeling heavy or greasy.

Full Ingredient List:

This moisturizer is specifically formulated for Sensitive, Normal, and Combination skin types. It's an excellent choice for anyone who experiences excessive redness, irritation, or conditions like rosacea, thanks to its soothing and anti-inflammatory ingredients.

Provides Daily Sun Protection: Offers SPF 15 broad-spectrum protection to help defend against incidental sun exposure.

Calms Redness and Irritation: Niacinamide works to soothe the skin and visibly reduce the appearance of redness.

Hydrates Without Greasiness: Delivers essential moisture with a lightweight formula that absorbs quickly.

Controls Shine: The mattifying properties help to keep your skin looking balanced and shine-free throughout the day.

Apply every morning as the final step of your skincare routine.

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

Step 2: Gently apply the cream to your entire face and neck.

Step 3: Make sure you apply it evenly at least 15 minutes before heading outside to allow the sunscreen to become effective.

This product contains both mineral and chemical sunscreen filters. While formulated for sensitive skin, it's always wise to check the ingredient list for any known sensitivities.

The 2nd's Recommendation: For external use only. Always perform a patch test on a small area of skin before first use.

This is a fantastic daily moisturizer for most days here in New York, especially for guys who don't like the feel of heavy sunscreens. It's perfect for the incidental sun exposure you get walking to the subway or sitting near a window. The fact that it helps control shine and redness makes it a real workhorse. Just remember, if you're planning a long day outdoors, like heading to the beach or a park, you'll want to step up to a dedicated sunscreen with a higher SPF.

This product is fragrance-free to minimize potential irritation for sensitive skin.

Is SPF 15 enough protection?
For everyday, incidental sun exposure—like your commute or short periods outside—SPF 15 is the minimum protection recommended by dermatologists. It blocks about 93% of UVB rays. However, for extended or direct sun exposure (like a beach day, hiking, or an outdoor sporting event), you should use a dedicated, water-resistant sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.

What does "mattifying" mean?
"Mattifying" means the product is designed to reduce or prevent shine on the skin. It helps to absorb excess oil, giving your skin a "matte" finish, which is the opposite of a shiny or dewy look. It's great for people who tend to get oily throughout the day.

Can I use this at night?
You can, but it's not ideal. This product is specifically designed for daytime use because its most important job is sun protection. At night, your skin goes into repair mode, so it's better to use a nighttime moisturizer that's focused on hydration and repair ingredients, without the unnecessary sunscreen filters.
