FAQ

Q: Can I use this sunscreen if I have mature skin with fine lines and wrinkles?
A: Absolutely. This product has been specifically formulated with mature skin in mind. The Triple Anti-Ageing Complex of Hyaluronic Acid, Serine, and Trehalose provides intensive hydration to plump the skin and smooth fine lines, whilst the Soft Focus Technology creates an optical blurring effect that minimises the appearance of wrinkles. The ASPA-Fernblock® Technology actively supports collagen protection and DNA repair, helping to prevent and correct signs of photoageing with continued use.

Q: What makes ASPA-Fernblock® Technology different from other antioxidants in sunscreens?
A: ASPA-Fernblock® represents a significant advancement in photoprotection technology. Unlike conventional antioxidants, this clinically-proven complex combines Polypodium leucotomos extract with Rooibos extract to create a multi-faceted defence system that goes beyond simply blocking UV rays. It actively supports your skin's DNA repair mechanisms, neutralises free radicals at the cellular level, protects collagen and elastin from degradation, and uniquely, preserves Vitamin D receptor function through the OptiD Effect. This is backed by over 50 clinical studies demonstrating its efficacy in preventing photoageing and supporting long-term skin health.

Q: Will the tint suit my skin tone, and does it provide coverage like a foundation?
A: The subtle tint has been formulated to adapt to Fitzpatrick skin types I-IV (fair to medium skin tones). It provides a natural-looking, light coverage that evens skin tone and imparts a healthy glow, but it's not designed to replace foundation. The tint is sheer enough to blend seamlessly into most lighter to medium complexions whilst helping to blur imperfections and reduce the white cast often associated with high SPF products. For darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick V-VI), we recommend consulting our experts about the untinted Heliocare 360 Mineral Tolerance Fluid as an alternative.

Q: How long will it take to see anti-ageing results from using this sunscreen?
A: Immediate benefits include enhanced hydration, a smoothing effect on fine lines due to the Soft Focus Technology, and a radiant, even complexion from the subtle tint. However, the true anti-ageing benefits develop over consistent daily use. Most users notice improved skin texture and increased plumpness within 2-4 weeks as the Triple Anti-Ageing Complex works to hydrate and strengthen the skin. Long-term benefits, such as the prevention of new sun damage, reduction in photoageing signs, and improved skin resilience, become increasingly apparent with continued use over 8-12 weeks. Remember, the most important anti-ageing benefit is the prevention of future damage - this high-level broad-spectrum protection stops photoageing before it occurs.

Q: Can I use this sunscreen after aesthetic treatments like chemical peels or laser therapy?
A: This sunscreen has been specifically formulated to be suitable for post-treatment use, once your skin has fully healed and your treating professional has cleared you to use topical products. The ASPA-Fernblock® Technology provides excellent support for post-procedure recovery by enhancing DNA repair, reducing oxidative stress, and protecting compromised skin. However, we strongly recommend speaking to our experts or your aesthetic practitioner for personalised guidance, as treatment protocols vary. Some procedures may require you to wait until the skin has fully regenerated before applying any topical products.

Q: Is this sunscreen suitable for daily use even when I'm not spending extended time in the sun?
A: Yes, absolutely. UV radiation is present year-round, even on cloudy days, and visible light exposure from indoor lighting and digital devices contributes to photoageing. This lightweight formula has been designed for comfortable daily wear, making it ideal as your everyday morning skincare step. The hydrating, anti-ageing benefits make it more than just sun protection - it's a comprehensive treatment that should be incorporated into your routine 365 days a year for optimal skin health and ageing prevention.

Q: Can I wear makeup over this sunscreen?
A: Yes, the ultra-lightweight, silky texture provides an excellent base for makeup application. The formula absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue, and the subtle tint and soft focus effect actually enhance your complexion, meaning you may find you need less foundation coverage. Allow the sunscreen to settle for 1-2 minutes before applying makeup for best results. Many users report that their makeup sits beautifully over this formula and lasts throughout the day.

Q: How often should I reapply this sunscreen throughout the day?
A: For optimal protection, we recommend reapplying every 2 hours during periods of direct sun exposure, and immediately after swimming, heavy sweating, or towelling the skin. For normal daily activities with incidental sun exposure (such as working indoors with brief periods outdoors), a morning application is generally sufficient. However, if you spend prolonged time near windows or in strong indoor lighting, consider reapplying at midday. The water and sweat-resistant formula helps maintain protection during daily activities.
