FAQs | What is the difference between UVA and UVB damage? UVB exposure causes redness or burning, while UVA exposure causes skin darkening/pigmentation. Protection from both UVA and UVB means this product provides Broad Spectrum protection. Total Protection™ Face Shield SPF 50 provides Broad Spectrum SPF 50 (UVB protection) and PA+++ (UVA protection).What is EnviroScreen™ Technology? EnviroScreen™ Technology is proprietary to Colorescience®. EnviroScreen™ Technology uses patented active ingredients, Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide, that create a barrier preventing free radical formation and oxidative stress. These patented actives are combined with specialty ingredients that, together, work synergistically to protect skin from damage caused by exposure to UVA/UVB rays, pollution, blue light (also known as High Energy Visible, or HEV, light), and infrared radiation.Can you explain how adherence/water- and sweat- resistance is tested? Colorescience® follows the FDA guidelines for testing water resistance or adherence to the skin after exposure to water. A panel of 10 people apply the product to their skin prior to being immersed in a whirlpool (of moving or circulating water) for 20-minute cycles. After 20 minutes in the whirlpool, panelists exit the whirlpool before immersing themselves again. For 40 minutes water resistance, panelists are immersed in the water for two 20-minute cycles. For 80 minutes water resistance, this is done a total of 4 times. After all cycles are completed, the SPF that is remaining on the skin is measured. If after 80 minutes in the whirlpool, the SPF remaining is at least 50, the result is an SPF 50 with 80 minutes of water resistance.How do you measure pollution protection? We measure our pollution protection by directly measuring free radicals created from UV + pollution events on unprotected skin and skin protected with Sunforgettable® Total Protection™ Face Shield SPF 50. We use a testing technique called electron spin resonance (ESR) that uses a combination of a magnetic field and electron magnetic waves to directly detect the unpaired electrons of free radicals. How do you measure blue (HEV) light protection? How often should I apply? How long will the product last? Do I need to moisturize before? / Does this replace my moisturizer? Can this be applied on body? Is this product safe for sensitive skin? Does this product replace Perfectors, Even Up®, or All Calm®? In what order do I apply this in my routine? / How do I use this with a Perfector or Even Up® or All Calm®? If you would like to use it with a perfector or treatment, apply Sunforgettable® Total Protection™ Face Shield SPF 50 first and follow with your selected perfector or treatment. Is it suitable for oily/acne prone skin? Is it safe to apply to children? Is there a color/tint to it? Will it work with all skin tones? Since this is a zinc oxide formula, will it leave a white cast or residue on my skin? How long do I have to wait before I go into the sun? How much do I need to apply to achieve SPF 50 Protection? How do I use this with the Total Protection™ Brush-on Shield SPF 50? Is Total Protection™ Face Shield SPF 50 water-or-sweat resistant? Is Total Protection™ Face Shield SPF 50 non-comedogenic?
