Pairs well with: Hydrating gels, lightweight moisturisers, vitamin C serums (both pure ascorbic acid and derivatives), niacinamide treatments, centella essences, and peptide serums. The velvet-matte finish helps balance shine over dewy morning routines, making it an excellent final step for all skin types. Compatible with: All active ingredients — including exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA/PHA), retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, antioxidants, and barrier-repair formulas. As a sunscreen, it sits on top of the routine and does not interfere with the performance of actives underneath. The silky silicone–powder texture layers smoothly over serums without pilling and works well in both minimal and multi-step routines.
Avoid using: There are no ingredient conflicts. The only consideration is to avoid pairing it with very rich or heavy creams in the same routine, as these can reduce its adherence or cause slipping throughout the day. For oily or combination skin, keep the base layers light to maintain the intended matte finish.
Layering tip: Use as the final step in your morning routine, after moisturiser. Swipe generously over the face and blend with fingertips for even coverage. Reapply every 2–3 hours, especially outdoors, to maintain optimal protection.
Pro Tip: This sun stick contains soothing centella components and vitamin E, making it ideal for irritated, redness-prone, or sensitised skin. Its waterproof, sweat-resistant finish makes it perfect for humid climates, commuting, travel, and touch-ups over makeup without leaving a cast or greasy residue.
