View SephoraWhat Sephora says
A rich daily cream—now with an improved formula—that intensely hydrates, nourishes, and protects, promoting smoother-feeling, healthier-looking skin.
Apply in place of your moisturizer in the AM.
If this is the only SPF in your routine, apply generously and evenly, 15 minutes before sun exposure.
Reapply at least every two hours or immediately after swimming or sweating.
What Glass adds
A solid choice for those seeking a daily SPF that also provides significant hydration. It's particularly beneficial for dry or combination skin that needs protection and moisture in one step. If you prefer a lighter texture or already have a robust moisturizing routine, you might look elsewhere.
