hydrating cream

Visit product page →12/2020 heads up:
the last batch of this cream that's now in stock is less creamy and moisturizing than batches past - however, it should still work fine for the majority of our clients. we are working with the lab to figure this out.
for drier skin clients in the meanwhile, you may supplement moisture by applying 3 drops of safflower, sunflower or sesame oil directly to your skin before applying the cream on top. you can also boost moisture by using the hydrating cleanser (apply on dry skin!) and/or the goji berry mask.
i hope to have a resolution soon, thanks for your patience and understanding of my small business!--
this acne-safe moisturizer is suitable for use anytime. appropriate for most all skin types, this moisturizer works particularly well in conjunction with our tizo 2 or 3 sunscreens, for a smooth, matte look throughout the day. for nighttime, drier skins may need to layer rejuvenation serum or hydrating gel underneath this cream for additional moisture support.

because this sunscreen does not have any moisturizing agents in it, it can be drying (as all mineral-based products inherently are). this can be used alone on oily skins, or for drier skins, can be layered with hydrating gel or hydrating cream underneath.
IF YOU HAVEN'T TRIED THIS FORMULA YET:
please purchase a trial size to make sure you like it! see below for instructions on how to apply this product for best results.HOW TO USE:
for best results, use a small amount and ensure the product is rubbed thoroughly into the skin for maximum cosmetic blending into the skin, and protective coverage. using too much will result in the product not fully absorbing into the skin, leaving your skin feeling greasy.DISCLAIMER:
be aware that although most all of our clients that use this product do so without any problems, a very small percentage of clients (somewhere between 1-5%) who are sensitive and reactive to silicones may experience breakouts from this and any other product that contains silicones such as dimethicones, which are prevalent physical block sunscreens that are formulated to be cosmetically elegant, and not pasty. when in doubt, do a patch test and see how it goes over the course of several weeks, or as we do, 3-6 months!---
available in tinted (tizo 3) and untinted (tizo 2) formulas.

please be advised:
- this is an acne-safe chemical sunscreen. we explain the difference between chemical and physical block spf's on our blog post here.
- finding a sunscreen with this light a texture with a physical block ingredient that's also acne-safe has been a real challenge. i am looking though and if i find one that passes our stringent standards i will stock it!
- some chemical sunscreen ingredients, including octinoxate (that this formula contains) is banned for sale in areas (such as hawaii) due it's damaging effects to coral marine life. this should be ok to use for everyday use, but please don't wear this when swimming in the ocean. use one of our other physical block sunscreens - the moisturizing safeguard spf 40 (my favorite) or either tizo formulas - instead!
