This is a lightweight, serum-like sunscreen that provides powerful, clinically-verified sun protection without a white cast or greasy feel.

Finding a daily sunscreen that feels good can be a struggle, especially in our climate. Many are thick, greasy, or leave a noticeable white cast. This watery sun cream solves that. It's a fast-absorbing, comfortable formula that offers very high UVA/UVB protection while actively hydrating the skin, making daily sun safety feel effortless.

• Texture: A watery, lotion-like serum.
• Finish: Natural, healthy dewy glow (not greasy).
• White Cast: Absolutely none on all skin tones.
• Protection: SPF 50+ PA++++ (independently verified).
• Primary Benefit: Invisible, hydrating sun protection that feels like a lightweight moisturizer.

1. Cleanser: Wash your face to start with a clean base.
2. THIS PRODUCT: Apply the correct amount (see "How to Use") as the last step of your morning skincare.
3. (PM) Moisturiser: In the evening, use a moisturiser after cleansing.

Mindful Consumption Note: If you already have a sunscreen you enjoy, finish it first. This is a great replacement, not an addition you need right away.

• Minimalist (2-3 steps): 1) Cleanser → 2) [THIS PRODUCT]. For oily skin, this might be all the daytime moisture you need. → 3) Makeup (if desired).
• Optional Additions: If your skin is dry or dehydrated, you can apply a hydrating toner or serum before the sunscreen. Let it absorb for 60 seconds first.
• Wait Times: Wait at least 1-2 minutes after applying this sunscreen before you apply makeup to prevent pilling.

Do not use this product at night.

• Minimalist (3 steps): 1) Cleanser (use an oil-based cleanser first to break down the sunscreen, followed by a water-based cleanser) → 2) Your chosen PM serum or treatment → 3) Moisturiser.

• Daily Use — AM Only:
  • Amount: Use the "two-finger rule." Squeeze two lines of sunscreen from the tip to the base of your index and middle fingers. This is the clinically tested amount for your face and neck.
  • Apply to: Face, neck, and ears, 15 minutes before sun exposure.
  • Method: Smooth gently over the skin. Do not rub aggressively. Pat it in to finish.
  • Frequency: Every single morning, even on cloudy days.
• SPF Truth Box:
  • Filters: A blend of modern, broad-spectrum chemical filters (Ethylhexyl Triazone, Terephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Polysilicon-15, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine).
  • Tested Dose vs. Real-World Dose: The SPF 50+ rating is based on applying 2mg/cm², which the two-finger rule helps you achieve. Using less significantly reduces protection.
  • Reapplication: Reapply every 2 hours during continuous sun exposure (e.g., at the beach), after swimming, or after excessive sweating/towel drying. For typical office days, once in the morning is sufficient.
  • Water Resistance: Not specified as water-resistant. Use a dedicated water-resistant sunscreen for sports or swimming.
  • Cast Notes: Zero white cast. Suitable for all skin tones, including the deepest complexions.
• Safety: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Do not use on broken or irritated skin. Keep out of reach of children.

• Daily: Use this sunscreen every single morning (Mon-Sun) as the final step of your skincare routine, before makeup.
• Mauritius Note: The UV index in Mauritius is high year-round. Daily, non-negotiable sunscreen use is the single most important step for protecting your skin, preventing premature aging, and seeing results from your other skincare products.
• Safety: Proper sunscreen use is critical when using exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA) or retinoids, as they increase photosensitivity.

• Immediate: Skin feels hydrated, plump, and dewy. There is no greasy feeling or white cast. Makeup applies smoothly on top.
• 2–4 Weeks: With consistent daily use, skin appears more hydrated and feels healthier. You are actively preventing new sun damage (like dark spots and fine lines).
• 4–8+ Weeks: The benefits of sun protection are cumulative. You'll notice that post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) from acne fades more effectively, and skin tone looks more even because you are preventing the UV exposure that darkens those spots.

• Why this, not that: Use a lab-tested, broad-spectrum sunscreen like this one, NOT a DIY mixture of oils or makeup with low SPF. SPF in makeup is not enough for primary protection because you would need to apply a very thick layer to get the stated value. This sunscreen provides reliable, high-level protection when used correctly.

• Works Well With: Vitamin C serums (layer Vitamin C first, then this sunscreen, for enhanced antioxidant protection), niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and most gentle hydrators. It also layers beautifully under most primers and foundations.
• Use Carefully With: No major ingredient conflicts. The main rule is to let previous layers (like serums) absorb for about 60 seconds before applying this sunscreen to prevent pilling.
• Avoid On: Do not apply to broken or irritated skin.

• Oily & Combination Skin: Excellent. Its lightweight, watery texture won't feel heavy or greasy. In Mauritius's humidity, it may even be sufficient as your daytime moisturizer.
• Dry & Dehydrated Skin: Very good. The formula contains hydrating ingredients like Mung Bean Extract and Bio-Hyaluronic Acid. You may want to layer it over a moisturizer in drier, air-conditioned environments.
• Sensitive Skin: Generally well-tolerated, but it does contain fragrance. A patch test is always recommended.
• Acne-Prone Skin: Suitable for many, as it's not heavy or pore-clogging. However, see the note on Fungal Acne suitability below.

• Sun Protection: Provides robust, broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays to prevent sunburn, premature aging, and skin cancer.
• Dehydration: Helps replenish and lock in moisture with a hydrating formula.
• Dullness: By preventing sun damage, it helps maintain a brighter, more even-toned complexion.
• Preventing Hyperpigmentation: Essential for preventing and helping to fade dark spots (sun spots, PIH from acne).

• pH: Not publicly disclosed by the brand, but typically sunscreens are formulated in a skin-friendly range.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Suitability: Contains Glyceryl Stearate, which can be a potential trigger for some individuals with FA. If you are highly prone to fungal acne, a patch test is crucial. Individual responses vary.

• Issue: Pilling (product rolling up into little balls).
  • Fix: You are likely using too much of the product underneath it or not waiting long enough between layers. Apply the sunscreen to clean, dry skin or wait a full 60 seconds after your serum before application. Pat, don't rub.
• Issue: Skin feels a bit too dewy/shiny.
  • Fix: This sunscreen has a naturally dewy finish. You can apply a light dusting of translucent powder over your T-zone to mattify it. Alternatively, this may not be the best choice if you prefer a fully matte finish.
• Issue: Mild stinging upon application.
  • Fix: This can sometimes happen if your skin barrier is compromised. Stop using any harsh exfoliants for a few days. If stinging persists on healthy skin, you may be sensitive to one of the UV filters or fragrance; discontinue use.

• Humid Summer: This is where the Bio Watery Sun Cream excels. Its lightweight, non-greasy formula feels comfortable even on the most humid days and won't feel like a heavy mask on your skin. Oily skin types can often use this as their sole morning moisturizer.
• Drier Winter/AC Environments: The hydrating formula works well to combat the drying effects of indoor air conditioning. If you have very dry skin, you might want to layer a light moisturizer underneath during the cooler months.

  • Approx. Dose: 1ml per day (using the two-finger rule for face and neck).

No in-catalog pairings available today—this product still works well solo with your current cleanser and daily sunscreen.

This sunscreen is an excellent choice if your primary concerns are finding a cosmetically elegant, hydrating sunscreen with zero white cast.

• If you need a matte finish: Look for a sunscreen formulated with sebum-controlling powders, often marketed as "matte" or "air-fit."
• If you have extremely sensitive, reactive skin: Consider a 100% mineral (physical) sunscreen with Zinc Oxide and/or Titanium Dioxide, which is generally less likely to cause irritation, though it may have a white cast.
• If you need high water resistance: For beach days or sports, choose a sunscreen specifically labeled "water-resistant" for reliable protection while swimming or sweating.

Mindful-use: If you already have a sunscreen you enjoy that addresses your concerns, there’s no need to add another right now—finish what you have first.

• Format: 50ml soft plastic tube with a hygienic pump dispenser that makes it easy to control the amount you use.

• "This is the holy grail sunscreen I've been looking for. It feels exactly like a lightweight serum, sinks in immediately, and leaves my skin feeling so hydrated and glowy. There's absolutely no white cast on my brown skin." - Paraphrased from a Reddit, r/AsianBeauty review (2023).
• "I have oily, acne-prone skin and was scared this would be greasy, but it's not! It gives a 'glass skin' glow without feeling heavy. My makeup goes on top of it perfectly with no pilling at all." - YesStyle review (2023-08).
• A Fair Caveat: "I really like the texture, but the dewy finish was a bit too much for my very oily T-zone in peak summer. I had to powder it down. If you prefer a completely matte look, this might not be for you." - Amazon customer review (2023-10).

We believe in skincare that is effective, transparent, and right for our climate. Every product, including this one, is carefully curated and sourced directly from authorized channels to guarantee 100% authenticity. We are here to provide clear, honest information to help you make the best choice for your skin.

• Can I skip moisturizer when using this?

  If you have oily or combination skin, you might find this sunscreen hydrating enough to be your daytime moisturizer, especially in summer. If you have dry skin, you will likely prefer to apply a moisturizer before it.

• Does it sting the eyes?

  This varies from person to person. Most users find it does not sting, but as with any chemical sunscreen, it's best to avoid applying it too close to the lash line. If you have very sensitive eyes, a mineral sunscreen might be a better choice for the eye area.

• Is it safe for pregnancy?

  There is insufficient published data on using this specific formula during pregnancy or breastfeeding. It does not contain retinoids or other ingredients typically advised against, but we recommend consulting with your doctor before introducing any new products during this time.
