    Q&A

    Q&A

    Do I need a moisturizer if I use sunscreen?
    If you are using a hydrating sunscreen, you likely do not need a moisturizer as the sunblock is designed to moisturize skin and protect from UVA/UVB rays in one step. However, additional hydration may be needed for dryer skin types. For best results with the Daily Brightening UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 30, apply before your moisturizer, at least 15 minutes before sun exposure.
    Is Daily Brightening UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 30 good for dry skin?
    Yes, Daily Brightening UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 30 can help remedy dry skin. Exposure to the sun’s UVA/UVB rays can dry out the skin, exacerbating dryness. Daily application of a hydrating sunscreen, like Daily Brightening UV Defense, helps moisturize skin as it provides sun protection.
    How does Daily Brightening UV Defense Sunscreen help to prevent discoloration?
    One of the skin’s natural defenses against the sun is to produce melanin to darken the skin. Daily Brightening UV Defense contains 2% niacinamide and 1% tranexamic acid to help reduce discoloration and UV-induced pigmentation, while protecting against future sun damage.
    Is Daily Brightening UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 30 a physical or chemical sunscreen?
    Daily Brightening UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 30 is a chemical sunscreen, meaning it uses ingredients that absorb UVA and UVB rays before they can cause sun damage. Physical sunscreens use ingredients like zinc oxide or titanium oxide that create a barrier and reflect UV radiation away from your skin.
    Is Daily Brightening UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 30 suitable for oily skin?
    Yes, Daily Brightening UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 30 is appropriate for all skin types, including oily.
    Does Daily Brightening UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 30 leave a white cast?
    No. Some sunscreens contain ingredients like zinc oxide that act as a barrier on the skin and can leave a white cast. Daily Brightening UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 30 is a hydrating, residue-free formula that absorbs into the skin.
