PRODUCT DETAILS

Meet a daytime sunscreen where protection and polish share the same step. SPF50+ PA++++ protection covers UVA and UVB, while Skin Shield technology also helps protect against fine dust and blue light. The fine-dust and blue-light blocking effects were confirmed in vitro.

Hydro Layer Technology offers hydration without a dry, cakey look, helping your complexion appear more even. Application feels fresh, and the smooth tone-up effect looks clear rather than chalky, with a subtle glow that gently brightens the finish. It may be an especially relevant choice for dry or dehydrated skin.

This balance brings sun care and a little polish into one daytime step. Wear it as your sunscreen or let it double as a makeup base for a clear, softly glowing tone-up finish. The formula also includes ferulic acid for antioxidant support.
