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.
Safety Notice
For external use only. Avoid direct contact with the eyes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Sunscreen is a critical component of periprocedural care, helping to optimize recovery and aesthetic outcomes ([Expert Panel Recommendations](https://europepmc.org/article/MED/41773167)). While antioxidants like [Vitamin C and E](/ingredients/tocopheryl-acetate) provide significant topical benefits, users should be mindful of over-supplementation in their broader diet ([Safety Review](https://europepmc.org/article/MED/41278416)). Discontinue use if irritation develops.
Directions
Shake well before use. Apply approximately two full finger lengths of product to the face, ensuring even distribution. Pay close attention to the hairline and the area around the eyes. For sustained protection, reapply every 2 hours during high sun exposure, or immediately after sweating, swimming, or towel-drying. This product serves as an excellent adjunctive step in a routine containing [Niacinamide](/ingredients/niacinamide) to support overall skin health ([Clinical Study](https://europepmc.org/article/MED/41923969)).
Safety Notice
For external use only. Avoid direct contact with the eyes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. High-factor sunscreens are essential for preventing photoageing, but over-supplementation of certain vitamins should be monitored by a professional ([Clinical Reference](https://europepmc.org/article/MED/41278416)). Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
