Ultimate Protection SPF 28 is an acne-safe physical sunscreen that contains both zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which provides broad-spectrum coverage from harmful UVA and UVB rays.

It does not leave the skin looking white.

Who is this product for?

Face Reality Mineral Matte SPF 28 is ideal for oily, combination, acne-prone, and sensitive skin types looking for lightweight, broad-spectrum mineral sun protection with a shine-reducing finish. Its matte formula helps control excess oil throughout the day, making it an excellent choice for those who prefer a non-greasy sunscreen or wear makeup.

How do I use it correctly?

Apply generously as the final step of your morning skincare routine, after moisturizer. Smooth an even layer over the face, neck, and other exposed areas at least 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply every 2 hours when outdoors and after swimming, sweating, or towel drying. It can be worn alone or under makeup.

What are the key ingredients, and what do they do?

• Zinc Oxide – A mineral UV filter that provides broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection while being gentle on sensitive and acne-prone skin.
• Titanium Dioxide – A mineral sunscreen ingredient that helps protect against UVB rays and contributes to broad-spectrum sun protection.

Can I use this with retinol, vitamin C, or exfoliating acids?
