Safety & Application
Directions
Shake the bottle well before use. Apply approximately two full finger lengths of product to the face and neck, ensuring even coverage up to the hairline and around the eyes. Apply as the final step in your morning skincare routine, either on top of or in place of your daily moisturiser. Reapply every 2–3 hours during periods of high sun exposure, or immediately after swimming, sweating, or towel-drying to maintain optimal protection levels.
