IMAGE Skincare PREVENTION+ Daily Ultimate Protection Moisturizer SPF 50, 3.2 oz — Lightweight Sheer Zinc Oxide Face Sunscreen

IMAGE Skincare PREVENTION+ Daily Ultimate Protection Moisturizer is a physician-formulated, broad-spectrum SPF 50 face lotion that combines zinc oxide and chemical filters for a lightweight, no-white-cast finish.

This daily moisturizer blends broad-spectrum sun filters with a sheer, hydrating base to help you wear high-level SPF 50 comfortably every day. Designed for facial use and formulated with a combination of mineral (zinc oxide) and select chemical UV filters, the product aims to offer high UVA/UVB coverage while leaving skin with a lightweight, blendable finish. A faint citrus essential oil note adds a fresh scent so it layers easily over serums or under makeup.

How does this lotion perform for daily sun protection?

It delivers SPF 50 broad-spectrum defense by combining 9% zinc oxide with chemical UV absorbers, creating a formula suitable for daily outdoor exposure. The texture is crafted to be sheer and blendable so it applies without leaving obvious residue on most skin tones.

• Broad-spectrum SPF 50 rating for UVA and UVB coverage
• Contains 9% zinc oxide plus homosalate, octisalate and octocrylene
• Light, sheer finish designed to minimize white cast
• Apply 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapply every two hours

Will this feel heavy or interfere with makeup?

The formula is described as lightweight and intended for daily wear under makeup or alone. It is meant to layer well over serums—IMAGE recommends applying it after your morning treatment serum for a smooth base.

• Sheer, non-greasy texture suitable for layering under cosmetics
• Works over serums; try adding 2–3 drops of VITAL C Hydrating ACE Serum if desired
• Fast blending to avoid pilling beneath foundation

Does it include skin-friendly ingredients beyond sun filters?

Yes — the formula incorporates hydrolyzed pea protein for skin-supporting peptides and a subtle citrus essential oil for scent. The combination of mineral and chemical filters aims to balance coverage with a cosmetically elegant finish.

• Hydrolyzed pea protein contributes amino-acid–derived support
• 10% homosalate, 5% octisalate, 6% octocrylene complement zinc oxide
• Light citrus essential oil provides an uplifting aroma

How should I use this alongside other skincare steps?

Apply this sunscreen every morning after cleansing and after your treatment serums. Use a generous, even layer 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapply at least every two hours during prolonged outdoor activity or after swimming or sweating.

• Morning step: cleanse, serum(s), then apply this SPF 50 moisturizer
• Use 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapply at least every two hours
• Compatible with daily cosmetic routines and outdoor sports

Who is this for: This product is geared to anyone seeking a physician-formulated daily facial sunscreen with a high SPF in a lightweight moisturizer format. It’s suitable for people who want a blendable, non-greasy sunscreen that layers under makeup and pairs with serums, and for those who prefer formulas combining mineral and chemical filters with a subtle citrus scent. Packaging may vary; always follow label directions for application and reapplication.
