Overview

What it is

This is a skincare formulation designed to protect the skin from various types of light exposure, including UVA, UVB, infrared, and blue light rays. It also aims to address the visible effects of previous photodamage, such as discoloration and dark spots. The product incorporates multiple components to offer these protective and corrective functions.

Key ingredients and their functions

Zinc Oxide - UV filter
Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate - antioxidant
Dimethylmethoxy Chromanyl Palmitate - skin brightening agent
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate - antioxidant
Superoxide Dismutase - antioxidant
Glutathione - antioxidant
Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid - humectant
N-prolyl Palmitoyl Tripeptide-56 Acetate - peptide

How it works

The product is formulated to protect the skin by using Zinc Oxide, which acts as a UV filter against UVA and UVB rays. Antioxidants like Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Superoxide Dismutase, and Glutathione aim to reduce potential oxidative stress caused by environmental exposures. Dimethylmethoxy Chromanyl Palmitate works towards improving the appearance of skin discoloration. Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid helps in maintaining skin hydration by attracting moisture, while N-prolyl Palmitoyl Tripeptide-56 Acetate, a peptide, is included for its skin-conditioning properties. Together, these ingredients contribute to both protecting the skin from future damage and minimizing the appearance of existing concerns.

A little goes a long way

This stuff is magic. Used in conjunction with the Resurfacing compound it is obliterating my sun damage. I have had IPL and other laser work done to remove the damage. These 2 products are doing more for it. I warm the product in my hand and then apply easily in the am. In the pm I use as spot treatment. Beyond thrilled with the results but giving 4 star because it is slightly greasy when first applied. I have to wait a bit to apply makeup over it and I am impatient. This jar will last a long time.

Jury is still out

I find the sunscreen very firm, I loosen up on my fingers but I feel like I have to tug too much to apply. Maybe I am doing wrong. Also almost leaves a cast on my face?

Best SPF on the market!

I am extremely pale:) have tried every SPF under the sun. This is the best, all natural and shielding sunscreen ever. I also am a makeup girl, and this is the best primer I've found. Makeup looks flawless and evens out skin tone by end of day. Love love love. Would recommend to any and everyone!

Lovely

I love the way my whole line of products feels. So soft and buttery. Minimal odor so I can use it. I have not been using it long enough to see a difference but my face feels quite youthful . . . and I am 75!

Different, but great so far!

This is such a unique product as far as the texture, and I was initially kind of turned off by it. It also has a "pasty" scent that I don't love. I'm glad I didn't give up on it though. I've used this now for a full week each day, and twice at night as a spot treatment where I had some blemishes and dark spots. I don't know if I can credit this alone, but in conjunction with the rest of the products in the line, my skin has already softened and brightened overall, and some of my dark spots from recent breakouts have faded a little bit. I have a deeper skin tone, so I will say, you have to take the time to really rub this in to rid the cast, but once you do, it sits nicely, no pilling for me, and wears well under makeup. I apply it with "The Brush" to avoid digging my fingers in the pot, and I recommend that following my spreading with your fingers to warm it up.
