Product details

Protect + tone up

A pink tone-up sun base with SPF50+ PA+++ that brightens dull skin and keeps it soft-matte under makeup, all day.

Pure Block Tone-up Sun Base is the pink member of A’pieu’s Pure Block sunscreen family, a sunscreen and makeup base in one. It spreads easily without stickiness, gives dull skin a natural pink glow, and papaya and grapefruit help keep shine in check so makeup lasts under the sun.

What’s inside

The ingredients doing the work

  • UV filters

    Mineral zinc oxide and titanium dioxide with two chemical filters, for SPF50+ PA+++. Titanium dioxide, with a touch of red and yellow iron oxides, also gives the tone-up.

  • Niacinamide + adenosine

    Niacinamide for a brighter-looking complexion and adenosine for smoother-looking skin, on top of sun protection.

    No. 12, 31 of 51 on the list

  • Papaya + grapefruit

    Help control sebum so skin stays fresh, not shiny, and makeup holds all day.

    No. 36, 47 of 51 on the list

  • Tahitian vanilla

    Protects and cares for skin that’s been tired out and sensitized by the sun.

How to use

The last step of your skincare

  1. 1

    Squeeze

    At the end of your skincare, squeeze out a moderate amount of the pink lotion.

  2. 2

    Spread

    Spread it gently over the whole face, then pat lightly so it sinks in.

  3. 3

    Body

    Smooth more over the neck, arms and legs, anywhere the sun will reach.

  4. 4

    Reapply

    Reapply through the day when you’re out in the sun for a long time. Wear it alone or under makeup.

Sun care, 365 days a year

A rosy sun base to reach for every morning, so skin looks brighter and makeup stays put from first coffee to sunset.

Good to know

  • The pink tone-up comes from titanium dioxide and iron oxides, so it leaves a soft tint by design.
  • Keep it away from your eyes; it can sting.
  • Not labelled water-resistant. Reapply after swimming, sweating or towelling off.
  • Contains fragrance and sweet orange oil. Skin irritation test completed, per A’pieu.
  • Comes in a 50 mL tube. The current pack reads “Tone-Up Sun Base EX”.
