A lightweight, colour-correcting sunscreen that provides high-level UV protection while subtly brightening sallow or dull skin tones. Its hydrating, serum-like texture blends seamlessly, leaving a radiant, dewy finish without the heaviness or stickiness often found in sunscreens, making it ideal for daily wear in Mauritius' climate.

Finding a daily sunscreen that feels good, doesn't leave a heavy cast, and works under makeup can be a challenge. This tone-up sun cream is designed for those who want UV protection and a subtle radiance boost in one step.

• Texture: Lightweight, hydrating cream.
• Finish: Dewy, radiant, with a subtle purple tint to neutralize yellow/sallow undertones.
• Best For: Normal, combination, and dull skin types.
• Core Benefit: Provides robust SPF 50+ PA++++ sun protection while evening out skin tone for a natural, healthy glow.

For a simple, protective morning routine:

1. Cleanser: Start with a clean face.
2. THIS PRODUCT: Apply the "two-finger" amount to face and neck as your final skincare step.
3. Makeup (Optional): Allow 1-2 minutes to set before applying makeup.

Note: If you already own a sunscreen you enjoy, finish it first to prevent waste. This can be your next replacement.

This product is for daytime use only.

• Minimalist Routine: 1) Cleanser → 2) (Optional) Hydrating Toner → 3) d'Alba Tone-Up Sun Cream. For many, this sunscreen is hydrating enough to replace a separate morning moisturizer.
• Advanced Routine: 1) Cleanser → 2) Toner → 3) Vitamin C or Antioxidant Serum → 4) (Optional) Light Moisturizer if very dry → 5) d'Alba Tone-Up Sun Cream.

Wait Times: Allow serums to absorb for 60 seconds before applying this sun cream. Wait 1-2 minutes for the sun cream to set before applying makeup to minimize pilling.

• Amount: Use the "two-finger rule." Squeeze the product onto your index and middle fingers from base to tip. This is the expert-recommended amount for the face and neck to achieve the labeled SPF protection.
• Frequency: Every morning, 15-20 minutes before sun exposure.
• Method: Apply generously to the face, neck, and any other exposed areas. Pat gently to blend. The initial purple hue will blend out to a bright, natural tone. Reapply every 2-3 hours during prolonged sun exposure, after swimming, or after heavy sweating.
• If-This / Then-That:
  • If you have a deeper skin tone: Apply in thin, even layers and pat to blend thoroughly to minimize any casting effect.
  • If you have oily skin: You may find this hydrating enough to skip your morning moisturizer. Set with a translucent powder if the dewy finish is too much.
  • If you have dry skin: Apply a light moisturizer before the sun cream to ensure adequate hydration throughout the day.

• Daily: Use every single morning as the last step of your skincare routine, before makeup.
• Reapplication: Reapply at least every 2-3 hours if you are outdoors, sweating, or after swimming to maintain protection.

Sunscreen is a non-negotiable daily commitment to protect your skin and the results of your other skincare products, even on cloudy days or if you are indoors near windows.

• Immediately: Skin is protected from UV rays. You will notice a subtle brightening and tone-correcting effect that reduces sallowness and creates a dewy, radiant finish.
• 2-4 Weeks: With consistent daily use, your skin is better protected from daily sun-induced damage. You may notice your overall complexion looks brighter and more even, as new sun spots are being prevented.
• 4-8+ Weeks: Long-term, dedicated use is a preventative measure. It significantly helps to slow down the signs of photoaging, such as fine lines and dark spots, and is crucial for maintaining the results from any hyperpigmentation treatments.

• Instead of thinking "My dark skin doesn't need sunscreen": Use this daily. While melanin offers some natural protection (around SPF 13), it is not enough to prevent UVA-induced photoaging and hyperpigmentation (PIH), which are primary concerns for melanin-rich skin in Mauritius. This formula is designed to be cosmetically elegant to encourage daily use.
• Instead of believing "Sunscreen is only for sunny beach days": Apply this every morning. Up to 80% of UV rays penetrate clouds, and UVA rays pass through window glass. Daily incidental sun exposure (driving, sitting near a window) is a major contributor to skin aging.
• Instead of relying on makeup with SPF for primary protection: Use this as your dedicated sunscreen step. The amount of foundation or cushion makeup applied is typically far less than what's needed to achieve the stated SPF, making it insufficient for full protection.

• UV Filters: Chemical Filters (Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Homosalate, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Octocrylene).
• Protection Standard: SPF 50+ (Independently tested, indicates high UVB protection) and PA++++ (Independently tested, indicates extremely high UVA protection).
• The Dose for Stated Protection: The SPF and PA ratings are based on a lab application of $2 \text{mg/cm}^2$. For the average face, this translates to roughly 1/4 teaspoon, or the "two-finger" method. Most people apply less than half of this amount, significantly reducing their protection.
• Water Resistance: Not specified as water-resistant. Reapply after swimming, sweating, or toweling off.
• White Cast & Tone-Up Effect: As a "tone-up" product, it is designed to leave a visible brightening effect. The purple tint helps to neutralize and correct yellow or sallow undertones, resulting in a clearer, more radiant complexion. On deeper skin tones, this may appear as a noticeable cast if not blended well. Apply in thin, even layers.
• Reapplication Rules for Mauritius: Reapply every 2 hours when in direct sun. If you are mostly indoors, reapplication once midday is a practical minimum. For reapplication over makeup, a sun stick is a more convenient option.

• Works Well With:
  • Antioxidant Serums: Applying a Vitamin C serum before this sunscreen can boost overall protection against environmental damage.
  • Hydrating Layers: Works well over hydrating toners, essences, and lightweight moisturizers.
  • Most Makeup: Acts as a radiant primer. Allow it to set for 1-2 minutes before applying foundation to prevent pilling.
• Use With Caution:
  • Heavy/Oily Products: Layering over very rich, oily creams or facial oils may cause the sunscreen to feel heavy or lead to pilling. If you have dry skin, choose a fast-absorbing moisturizer to wear underneath.

• Ideal For:
  • Normal to Combination Skin: The lightweight, hydrating texture provides moisture without being greasy.
  • Dull or Sallow Skin: The purple tone-up effect is specifically designed to counteract yellow undertones and add radiance.
• May Work For:
  • Dry Skin: May need an additional layer of moisturizer underneath for all-day comfort, especially in air-conditioned environments.
  • Oily Skin: The dewy finish might be too radiant for some. This can be managed by skipping moisturizer and/or setting with a translucent powder.
• Use With Caution:
  • Very Sensitive Skin: Contains fragrance and multiple chemical filters. A patch test is strongly recommended. A mineral-based sunscreen might be a safer choice if you have a history of reacting to chemical sunscreens.

This product primarily helps with:

• Sun Protection: Preventing sunburn, photoaging, and reducing the risk of skin cancer with broad-spectrum SPF 50+ PA++++.
• Dullness & Sallow Tone: Instantly brightens the complexion and corrects yellow undertones with its light purple tint.
• Prevention of Hyperpigmentation: Daily use is crucial for preventing the formation of new sun spots, age spots, and melasma, and for stopping existing spots from getting darker.
• Dehydration: Provides a lightweight layer of hydration, helping skin feel comfortable throughout the day.

Who Should Use It: This product is formulated for adults. For teens, it can be used for daily sun protection, but a patch test is advised as their skin can be more reactive.

Who Should Be Cautious: Individuals with a known allergy to any of the ingredients, especially chemical sunscreen filters or fragrance components. If you have eczema, rosacea, or are prone to perioral dermatitis, approach with caution and patch test thoroughly.

Patch Test Protocol:

4. If your skin remains clear and calm, the product is likely safe for you to use on your face.

Safety Warning: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use immediately if a rash or irritation occurs and consult a doctor if symptoms persist. Keep out of reach of children.

• Texture: A lightweight, silky cream that feels more like a hydrating serum than a traditional thick sunscreen.
• Finish: Leaves a visible dewy, radiant glow on the skin with a noticeable tone-up effect. It is not matte.
• Scent: Features d'Alba's signature citrus-floral fragrance.
• pH: Not publicly disclosed by the brand, but typically sunscreens are formulated in the pH 5.5-7.0 range.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains ingredients that may not be suitable for those with fungal acne. Individual responses vary, and a patch test on an affected area is advised.

• Issue: Product is pilling or balling up.
  • Solution: You may be applying too much product or not waiting long enough between your skincare steps. Apply a thinner layer of this sun cream and wait a full 1-2 minutes for it to set before applying makeup.
• Issue: The finish is too shiny for my oily skin.
  • Solution: Try skipping your moisturizer step in the morning, as this sun cream is quite hydrating on its own. You can also apply a light dusting of translucent setting powder over your T-zone to mattify the finish.
• Issue: The tone-up effect looks too pale or ashy.
  • Solution: Apply the product in thin, sheer layers, building up as needed. Spend extra time patting and blending it into the skin, especially around the hairline and jaw. This helps the tone-up pigments meld more naturally with your skin tone.

• Humid Summer: The lightweight texture is comfortable even in high humidity. Oily and combination skin types will likely find it hydrating enough to use as a 2-in-1 moisturizer and sunscreen. Its radiant finish gives a "glass skin" look that works well in our climate.
• Drier 'Winter'/AC Environments: During the cooler, drier months or if you spend long hours in air conditioning, those with normal to dry skin may prefer to layer a dedicated moisturizer underneath to ensure skin stays hydrated and comfortable.

Aggregated sentiment from online beauty communities. Note that individual experiences may vary.

• "I was looking for a sunscreen that could double as a makeup base and this is it! It cancels out the yellow tones in my skin and gives me a beautiful glow. My foundation goes on so smoothly over it." - Paraphrased from YesStyle review (2024-05)
• "It's definitely dewy, which I love for my dry skin. But my friend with oily skin found it a bit too shiny by the end of the day in the summer heat. She has to use powder on top." - Paraphrased from Reddit, r/AsianBeauty (2024-03)
• "The scent is beautiful, very spa-like. But if you're sensitive to fragrance, you should definitely patch test this one. For me, it was fine and added to the luxurious experience." - Amazon customer review (2024-06)
• Fair Caveat: The primary critique from users with deeper skin tones is that the tone-up effect, while subtle, can still create a noticeable cast if not applied carefully and blended well.

1. Is this a mineral or chemical sunscreen?

   This is a chemical sunscreen, using organic UV filters to absorb and dissipate UV radiation.

2. Can I use this instead of a foundation?

   It provides a brightening effect and evens out tone, but it does not offer coverage like a foundation or BB cream. It can be worn alone for a natural, radiant look or used as a primer underneath makeup.

3. Will the purple colour show up on my skin?

   The purple tint is designed to be colour-correcting. On light to medium skin with yellow or sallow undertones, it blends out to a neutral, brightened finish. On deeper skin tones, it may leave a slight cast and requires thorough blending.

4. Do I need a moisturizer with this?

   It depends on your skin type. Oily and combination skin types may find it hydrating enough to use alone. Dry skin types will likely need to apply a separate moisturizer first for optimal comfort.

• Best For: Individuals with normal to combination skin looking for a daily sunscreen that also provides a radiant, tone-correcting finish to combat dullness.
• Key Benefits: High UV protection (SPF 50+ PA++++), lightweight texture, neutralizes sallowness, provides a dewy glow, and acts as a makeup primer.
• Keep in Mind: Contains fragrance, which may not be suitable for highly sensitive skin. The dewy finish may be too much for very oily skin types. The tone-up effect may leave a cast on deeper skin tones if not blended well.
