This light-weight & fast-absorbing cream helps to even the complexion, deliver moisture and protect against UV damage. Skin is intensely hydrated thanks to active ingredients.

Why you should use SPF every day?

SPF helps to block your skin from the sun’s radiation. The sun emits two types of radiation: UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays contribute to the signs of aging in the skin, like wrinkles and sagging. UVB rays are more carcinogenic and often responsible for sunburns.

Benefits: 

• High UVA/UVB protection
• Light-weight & fast absorbing
• Fragrance free & matt application

How to use:

Apply sun protection over a day moisturiser. Re-apply frequently. Avoid the delicate eye area. Store in a cool dry place.
