Product details

This breakthrough formula combats past and future photo-damage while simultaneously brightening, cooling, and protecting the skin. Using the brand's double patent-pending SIREN Capsule Technology™️, it evens skin tone and texture by targeting hyperpigmentation, dark spots, heat-induced freckles, and fine lines while offering strategic protection against UVA, UVB, IR (infrared), and HEV (blue light) exposure. The classic SIREN Capsule (found in U Beauty's cult-favorite Resurfacing Compound) is paired with the new SUN-SIREN™️, which contains an illuminating molecule that safely inhibits a key enzyme responsible for melanin synthesis while providing photo-protective properties. In short, it prevents discoloration while visibly treating damage that has already occured. Plus, this cream is packed with potent antioxidants (such as a vitamins C and E), moisturizing ingredients (including hyaluronic acid and shea butter), and non-nano zinc oxide to create a physical barrier against UV radiation.

INSIDE THE FORMULA

  • An illuminating molecule inhibits adverse melanin synthesis to address hyperpigmentation.
  • Vitamin C promotes normal cell turnover and increases collagen.
  • Hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, shea butter, jojoba and almond oils defend, nourish, plump, and smooth skin.
  • Non-nano zinc oxide, a physical blocker, protects skin against UVA, UVB, IR, and HEV light.
  • Non-comedogenic. Fragrance-free. Hypoallergenic.
  • Made in Italy in a CO2-free facility.

how to use
  • Apply liberally and evenly on dry skin or after application of skincare.

    Great SPF

    I love this SPF! Knowing that it’s correcting, not just preventing, sun damage really helps me stay consistent. And the product itself is easy to blend and feels and looks great on my skin.

    Great product however the texture is too thick for me for a day cream. I’ve actually been using it at night and love that.

    takes some work

    I like it, but it requires some work, it cannot be wear alone, you have to use a tint on top of it, also, it does take some time to fully absorb, once that happens it does look ok.
