Struggling with sun spots or uneven tone in the Mauritian sun? This sunscreen does more than just protect; it actively works to brighten and restore radiance while shielding your skin.

• Product Type: Hybrid Sunscreen (Chemical & Physical Filters)
• Texture: Lightweight, non-sticky cream
• Finish: Natural, dewy glow
• Key Benefits: High UV protection, brightens dullness, helps fade hyperpigmentation.
• Best For: Normal, combination, and dry skin types concerned with uneven tone, sun spots, or dullness.

In the morning, follow this simple order for best results:

1. Cleanser: Start with a clean base.
2. Hydrating Toner/Serum (Optional): Apply a light layer for extra moisture.
3. This Sunscreen: Apply the correct amount (see 'How to Use') as your final skincare step.

Mindful Consumption Note: If you already own a sunscreen, we encourage you to finish it before opening a new one. This product can substitute your current final step; no need to add more layers.

This sunscreen is the final, essential step of your morning routine to protect your skin and the results of your other products.

• Minimalist Routine (3 steps): 1) Cleanser → 2) This Sunscreen → 3) Makeup (if any).
• Optional Additions (4-5 steps): 1) Cleanser → 2) Hydrating Toner → 3) Brightening Serum (like Vitamin C) → 4) This Sunscreen → 5) Makeup.
• Wait Times: Allow serums to absorb for about 60 seconds before applying this sunscreen. Wait another 1-2 minutes before applying makeup to prevent pilling.
• Mauritius Tip: On very humid days, if your skin is oily or combination, this sunscreen may provide enough moisture to replace your separate morning moisturiser.

Sunscreen is for daytime use only. At night, it's crucial to remove it properly to let your skin breathe and repair.

• Minimalist Routine (2 steps): 1) Double Cleanse (Oil Cleanser then Water-based Cleanser) → 2) Moisturiser.
• Targeted Routine (3-4 steps): 1) Double Cleanse → 2) Toner/Essence → 3) Treatment Serum (for concerns like pigmentation or anti-aging) → 4) Moisturiser.
• Why Double Cleanse? An oil-based cleanser is needed first to effectively break down and dissolve sunscreen filters and makeup. A water-based cleanser then washes everything away, ensuring your pores are clean.

[Daily Use — AM Only]

• Amount: The "two-finger" rule. Squeeze two lines of sunscreen onto your index and middle fingers. This is the correct amount for your face and neck.
• Apply to: Your entire face, neck, and ears. Apply 15 minutes before sun exposure.
• Method: Gently smooth over the skin until absorbed. Do not rub aggressively.
• Reapplication: Reapply at least every 2 hours if you are in direct sun, or immediately after swimming, sweating, or towel drying.

[If-This / Then-That]

• If your skin is very oily: You may find the dewy finish a bit too much. Try skipping your morning moisturiser or setting the sunscreen with a light translucent powder.
• If your skin is very dry: Apply over a hydrating serum and moisturiser to lock in maximum moisture before this final protective step.
• If pilling occurs under makeup: You may be using too much product underneath or not waiting long enough between layers. Try applying a thinner layer and wait 2-3 minutes before your primer or foundation.

This sunscreen should be the final step of your skincare routine every single morning, without exception.

• Monday to Sunday (AM): Cleanse → Tone/Serum (Optional) → Moisturiser (Optional) → This Sunscreen.

Protecting Your Actives:

Using active ingredients like Vitamin C, Retinoids, or exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA) can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Daily use of this high-protection sunscreen is non-negotiable to prevent sun damage and ensure those active ingredients can work effectively without causing hyperpigmentation.

• Immediately: Skin feels hydrated and protected with a subtle, healthy glow. There may be a slight tone-up effect that evens out the complexion.
• 2–4 Weeks: With consistent daily use, your overall skin tone may appear brighter and more radiant, thanks to the Niacinamide and Glutathione.
• 4–8+ Weeks: The appearance of existing dark spots and post-acne marks may be visibly reduced. Continued use prevents the formation of new sun-induced pigmentation, leading to a more even and clearer complexion over time.

Individual results vary. Consistent daily application and reapplication are essential for achieving and maintaining results.

Myth: "My skin is dark, so I have natural protection and don't need sunscreen."

Truth: While melanin-rich skin has more natural protection against sunburn (UVB rays), it is often more susceptible to hyperpigmentation (dark spots, melasma) from UVA rays. This sunscreen provides high PA++++ protection, specifically shielding against the UVA rays that trigger uneven skin tone and accelerate aging. Using a lab-tested sunscreen like this one every day is the most effective way to prevent and treat hyperpigmentation for all skin tones.

• Works Well With: Vitamin C, Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid, Retinoids (used at night), and most other skincare actives. It should be applied as the final step in your morning routine to protect the skin.
• Use Carefully With: Nothing. As a top layer, it is compatible with all standard skincare routines. The main consideration is texture; avoid layering too many heavy, oily products underneath to prevent a greasy feel or pilling.
• Application Order: Always apply this sunscreen *after* your moisturiser and *before* your makeup primer.

• Normal to Dry Skin: Excellent. Provides necessary UV protection along with a comfortable, hydrating feel and a radiant finish.
• Combination Skin: Very good. It may provide enough moisture for the T-zone on its own, but you might need a separate moisturiser for drier areas.
• Oily Skin: Good, with a caveat. The dewy finish might feel too glowy for some. Best results are achieved by skipping a separate moisturiser and/or setting with a translucent powder.
• Sensitive Skin: Use with caution. While it contains soothing ingredients, the formula includes multiple chemical filters and fragrance, which can be a trigger for highly reactive skin. A patch test is strongly recommended.

This triple-functional formula is designed to address:

• UV Protection: Comprehensive shielding from both UVA and UVB rays to prevent sunburn, photoaging, and skin cancer.
• Hyperpigmentation: Helps to visibly fade existing dark spots, sun spots, and post-acne marks for a more even complexion.
• Dullness: Works to restore a healthy, radiant glow to tired or lackluster skin.
• Prevention of Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Daily sun protection is the most effective way to prevent premature aging caused by sun exposure.

• Official Korean Name: 에이피엘비 글로타치온 나이아신아미드 선크림 (APLB Glutathione Niacinamide Sun Cream)

[Key Actives Explained]

• Glutathione: Often called the "master antioxidant," it helps to fight oxidative stress from sun and pollution. Topically, it is used for its ability to brighten the skin and promote a more even, luminous complexion.
• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): A versatile ingredient that helps to regulate oil production, strengthen the skin's barrier, minimize the appearance of pores, and inhibit the transfer of melanin, which helps to fade dark spots.
• Adenosine: An MFDS-approved ingredient for wrinkle improvement. It energizes the skin's surface, promoting a smoother, more youthful appearance and helping to reduce the look of fine lines.
• Centella Asiatica (Cica) Extract & Madecassic Acid: Famous for its soothing and healing properties, this botanical helps to calm irritated skin and support the skin's natural repair process.

[Who Should Use With Caution]

• Individuals with very sensitive or reactive skin, or those with known allergies to chemical sunscreens or fragrances.
• This product is intended for adult use. For children and teens, we recommend focusing on a basic routine of gentle cleanser, moisturiser, and a mineral-based sunscreen unless otherwise guided by a clinician.

[Patch Test Protocol]

First-time use? We always recommend a patch test to prevent potential reactions.

1. Apply a pea-sized amount of the sunscreen to a small, discreet area of skin, like behind your ear or on your inner jawline.
2. Wait 24 hours to observe for any signs of irritation, such as redness, itching, or burning.
3. If no reaction occurs, you can proceed with applying the product to your entire face.
4. If you experience any irritation, rinse the area thoroughly and discontinue use.

• Texture: A smooth, lightweight cream that spreads easily without feeling heavy or greasy.
• Finish: Leaves the skin with a visible dewy glow and a hydrated, moisturised feel. Not a matte finish.
• Scent: A light, pleasant floral-fresh fragrance.
• pH: Not published by the brand, but sunscreens are typically formulated in the neutral range of 6.0-7.5.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains ingredients like Glyceryl Stearate and PEG-100 Stearate which may be potential triggers for those with Malassezia folliculitis. Patch testing is advised for those with this concern. Individual responses vary.

• Issue: The sunscreen is pilling or balling up.
  Solution: This usually happens from applying too much product in the layers underneath, or not allowing layers to absorb fully. Try using smaller amounts of your serum/moisturiser and wait at least a minute before applying the sunscreen. You can also try patting the sunscreen on instead of rubbing.
• Issue: The finish is too shiny for my oily skin.
  Solution: This sunscreen is designed for a glowy finish. To reduce shine, you can skip your morning moisturiser (as this sunscreen is hydrating) or apply a light layer of translucent setting powder over the top, focusing on your T-zone.
• Issue: My skin feels a bit irritated after use.
  Solution: Discontinue use immediately. Your skin may be sensitive to one of the chemical filters or the fragrance. We recommend switching to a 100% mineral-based sunscreen formulated for sensitive skin.

This sunscreen is an excellent choice for the high UV index in Mauritius, providing robust daily protection.

• Humid Summer: The lightweight cream texture absorbs well without feeling suffocating. For those with oily or combination skin, it might be hydrating enough to use in place of a separate daytime moisturiser, simplifying your routine in the sticky heat.
• Drier Winter/AC Environments: The hydrating formula helps combat the drying effects of indoor air conditioning. If your skin is very dry, you may want to layer it over your usual moisturiser for extra comfort.
• Storage: To maintain its effectiveness, store the tube in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, such as a drawer or cabinet. Do not leave it in a hot car.

At Adilsons, we believe in providing skincare that is both effective and trustworthy. Every product in our collection is carefully curated and sourced directly from brands or their authorized distributors in South Korea. We guarantee 100% authenticity, ensuring you receive genuine, high-quality products that meet the rigorous safety and efficacy standards of the Korean beauty industry. Your skin's health and your peace of mind are our highest priorities.

1. Is this sunscreen waterproof?

The brand does not make a specific water-resistant claim. Like most daily-wear sunscreens, it is recommended to reapply after swimming, heavy sweating, or towel drying to ensure continuous protection.

2. Can I use this with my Vitamin C serum?

Yes, absolutely. In fact, it's an excellent combination. Antioxidants like Vitamin C help neutralize free radicals that sunscreen filters might miss. Apply your Vitamin C serum first, let it absorb for a minute, and then apply this sunscreen on top for enhanced protection.

3. Will this clog my pores or cause acne?

The formula is designed to be lightweight. However, as with any product, individual reactions can vary. It is not explicitly labeled non-comedogenic. If you are highly prone to breakouts, we recommend patch testing. Most importantly, ensure you are double-cleansing every evening to thoroughly remove the sunscreen and prevent clogged pores.

4. Does the "tone-up" effect look unnatural on darker skin?

The effect is more of a subtle brightening and glow rather than a stark white cast. The hybrid filter formulation is designed to blend well into a wide range of skin tones, including medium to deep complexions, without leaving a gray or purple hue.
