How to apply

Application guide

Incorporate this sunscreen into your daily skincare routine for optimal protection and a radiant finish. Follow these simple steps to ensure even application and maximum benefit from its hydrating, tone-evening formula.

Dispense and Warm the Product

Start by squeezing a pea-sized amount of the purple sunscreen onto your fingertips. Gently rub your fingertips together to warm the product, which helps it blend more seamlessly and evenly onto your skin for a smoother application.

Apply to Face and Neck

Dot the warmed sunscreen onto your forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin. Using gentle, upward strokes, spread the product evenly across your entire face and extend it down to your neck. Ensure full coverage for consistent protection against sun exposure.

Allow to Set Before Next Step

Give the sunscreen a moment to fully absorb and set on your skin. This creates the intended smooth, dewy base. Once set, you can proceed with the rest of your makeup routine or simply enjoy the protective, radiant finish on its own.

I've tried many sunscreens, and this purple one is now a staple. It glides on smoothly, gives my skin a beautiful dewy glow without any greasy feel, and crucially, it doesn't leave a white cast. My sensitive skin feels soothed, not irritated.

As someone with dry skin, I appreciate the moisturizing properties. It layers beautifully under my makeup, creating a smooth canvas. The subtle purple tint helps even out my skin tone, and the fragrance is light and pleasant, not overpowering.

I value clean ingredients, and this sunscreen aligns with that. It provides solid SPF 40 protection and feels lightweight. While it has a dewy finish, it's not overly oily for my combination skin. A great option for daily, conscious sun care.

I recommend this to clients seeking a sunscreen that works well under foundation. The hydrating formula prevents the base from clinging to dry patches, and the dewy finish gives a healthy, lit-from-within look. It's become a key prep product in my kit.

Finding a sunscreen that doesn't sting my eyes has been a challenge. This one is generally gentle, though I'm careful around the eye area. The soothing properties help keep my reactive skin calm, and the tone-evening effect is a lovely bonus.
