FAQ

Q: Can I use this sunscreen if I have sensitive or rosacea-prone skin?
A: Absolutely. This treatment sunscreen has been specifically formulated for sensitive skin and has won awards for its gentle, non-irritating formulation. The physical zinc oxide provides protection without chemical irritants, whilst the botanical extracts including Centella asiatica and aloe vera actively soothe and calm reactive skin. Many of our clients with rosacea find this formulation particularly beneficial as it provides essential sun protection whilst reducing redness and inflammation.

Q: Is this suitable for use immediately after professional treatments such as chemical peels or microneedling?
A: Yes, this is an ideal choice for post-procedure care. The gentle, physical sunscreen actives combined with healing botanicals make it suitable for compromised skin barriers. The Extremozyme® technology actively supports skin recovery whilst providing essential protection during the healing process. However, always follow your aesthetic practitioner's specific post-treatment instructions and consult them if you have any concerns.

Q: How does this compare to other SPF 30 sunscreens?
A: Whilst many sunscreens offer SPF 30 protection, this treatment sunscreen goes beyond basic photoprotection. The proprietary Extremozyme® technology provides cellular-level defence by protecting DNA and collagen from oxidative damage—something conventional sunscreens cannot achieve. Clinical studies demonstrate near-zero thymine dimer formation (DNA damage markers) with use of this product. Additionally, the lightweight, hydrating formula functions as both sunscreen and daily moisturiser, making it a multifunctional treatment rather than simply a protective barrier.

Q: Will this sunscreen leave a white cast on my skin?
A: No, the formulation uses microfine zinc oxide that absorbs into skin without leaving a white cast. The lightweight texture blends seamlessly into all skin tones, leaving a natural, healthy glow rather than a chalky appearance. Many clients report it works beautifully as a makeup base, providing a smooth canvas for foundation application.

Q: How long does the 100g size typically last with daily use?
A: When used as recommended on face, neck, and chest, the 100g size typically lasts 2-3 months with daily application. For face-only use, you can expect approximately 3-4 months of daily protection. Speak to our experts if you'd like guidance on optimal application amounts for your specific needs.

Q: Can I use this sunscreen under makeup?
A: Yes, this sunscreen serves as an excellent makeup primer. The lightweight, fast-absorbing formula creates a smooth base for foundation application without pilling or interfering with makeup longevity. Many clients use this as their primary moisturiser and sun protection step before makeup, eliminating the need for separate products.
