What distinguishes Sunforgettable® Total Protection™ Face Shield Matte SPF 50 from Mattifying Primer SPF 20?

Mattifying Primer SPF 20 is designed to prepare and prime oily skin for makeup application and prolong makeup wear. It is a non-comedogenic, water-resistant primer for 40 minutes, formulated with salicylic acid to control shine and blur imperfections for oily or blemish-prone skin. The SPF 20 defense provides one layer of UV protection in your makeup routine, where additional products and SPF are applied. On the other hand, Sunforgettable® Total Protection™ Face Shield Matte SPF 50 is a lightweight lotion that offers comprehensive environmental protection from UVA/UVB pollution, blue light, and IR. It contains silica-treated powders that absorb excess surface oil while delivering powerful environmental defense in a single application. If you’d like to use both, apply Sunforgettable® Total Protection™ Face Shield Matte SPF 50 first, followed by your Mattifying Primer SPF 20.

Can I use this with Even Up® Clinical Pigment Perfector® / All Calm® Clinical Redness Corrector?

Yes, all Face Shields offer great versatility in your skincare and makeup regimens, including mixing, layering, or using on specific facial areas. To use Face Shield Matte SPF 50 with treatments:

Apply Even Up® Clinical Pigment Perfector® or All Calm® Clinical Redness Corrector first.
Apply Face Shield Matte SPF 50.
Allow approximately 1 minute to dry. This ensures you are getting the full application of the treatment product.

What’s the difference between UVA and UVB damage?

Total Protection™ Face Shield SPF 50 provides Broad Spectrum SPF 50 (UVB protection) and PA++++ (UVA protection). Broad Spectrum protection means the product shields against both UVA and UVB damage. UVB exposure can cause redness or burning, while UVA exposure can lead to skin darkening and pigmentation.
