Product details

Moisture sun essence

A light, refreshing SPF50+ PA++++ sun essence made with moisturizing essence, so skin stays hydrated with no white cast.

make p:rem built this sunscreen like a skincare step. A moisturizing essence makes up most of the formula and leaves a thin, hydrating coating as it sinks in, while four UV filters give broad UVA and UVB protection. The very soft gel texture spreads easily, feels fresh rather than greasy and leaves no white cast, so it sits well under makeup.
