Works for
Sun protectionSPF 35 · 2 UV filtersBroad spectrum
This product offers a good level of protection against both UVB and UVA rays.
This sunscreen uses organic (so-called "chemical") sunscreen filters. Organic, or "chemical" filters usually provide reliable sun protection and rarely leave a white cast. Sunscreens with organic filters can sting eyes.
This product can be considered "reef safe" because it does not contain the UV filters (oxybenzone and octinoxate) that can be harmful to coral reefs when present in the water in high concentrations.
Anti-agingNo ingredient credited for this claimWorks well
“In clinical studies Kinetin has been shown to help the skin retain moisture and reduce the effects of skin aging, including roughness, fine lines, wrinkles, dilated blood vessels & uneven pigmentation without irritation.”
This product can help prevent early signs of skin aging because it offers a good level of broad spectrum sun protection. Sun damage is the main cause of premature skin aging, and protecting your skin from the sun is the best anti-aging strategy.
Evens skin toneNo ingredient credited for this claimWorks well
“In clinical studies Kinetin has been shown to help the skin retain moisture and reduce the effects of skin aging, including roughness, fine lines, wrinkles, dilated blood vessels & uneven pigmentation without irritation.”
This product offers broad spectrum sun protection. It means that it can prevent hyperpigmentation and help keep the skin tone even (sun damage is the main factor causing age spots, darkening of post-acne marks and other discolorations).
MoisturizingSide benefit the brand mentions · Isododecane, Dimethicone + 8 moreWorks
“In clinical studies Kinetin has been shown to help the skin retain moisture and reduce the effects of skin aging, including roughness, fine lines, wrinkles, dilated blood vessels & uneven pigmentation without irritation.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: dimethicone, squalane.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
