Our Most Lightweight, Hydrating Serum

Sun Protection, Skincare Benefits

Fact: There's no point using active skincare like exfoliants and serums if you're not protecting your skin by wearing SPF every day?

That's why we made Dawn to Dusk SPF 50+ Serum, a sunscreen made for skincare lovers that: 

  • Is lightweight, fast-absorbing serum sunscreen with a sheer, glowy finish
  • Contains broad-spectrum UVA/UVB filters to protect the skin from the sun’s damaging rays and environmentally induced, extrinsic ageing
  • Leaves skin looking dewy and luminous under makeup
  • Layers well with other products (no pilling!)
  • Is packed with skincare ingredients including skin barrier-saviour Niacinamide, antioxidant-rich Vitamin E and soothing Aloe Vera

SPF 101: Why It Matters

Aside from the very real skin cancer risks, did you know around 80% of all signs of ageing can be attributed to unprotected UV exposure?

Sunscreens work by absorbing and scattering harmful emissions from the sun, including:

  • UVA light (the rays that 'age' the skin)
  • UVB light (the rays that 'burn' the skin) 

Wearing a broad-spectrum, high-protection SPF daily (and reapplying every 2 hours) helps to protect against sunburn, skin cancers, premature skin ageing like fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation.

Good To Know
 
Where does it go in my routine?
  • After: Serums, moisturiser and/or face oil as the last step of your morning skincare routine
  • Before: Makeup
How much do I need?

3-4 full pipettes or 2 finger lengths of product. More is more when it comes to SPF. Cancer Council recommends one teaspoon or 5ml to adequately protect the face and neck, including ears.
 

How often should I use it?

Daily, reapplying every 2 hours or when going out in the sun.
 

Pro tips
  • Apply sunscreen in layers or by sectioning the face into different quadrants (forehead, cheeks, nose etc.) to make sure you're using enough SPF
  • Reapply over makeup using a beauty blender by gently patting product into the skin
  • Never mix serums, moisturisers or makeup products like highlighter or bronzer with your sunscreen, as this will dilute the SPF protection
  • Allow sunscreen to fully dry down before applying makeup to avoid pilling
  • Apply SPF to the backs of hands before driving to prevent UV damage
  • Don't forget, SPF is just one part of sun protection! Wear a hat, sunnies and protective clothing, and seek shade where possible

    Holy grail

    This stuff is my holy grail product. Lightweight, really hydrating and doesn’t make my eyes sting and water, nor do I taste it after application (if you know you know). Never stop making this please 🥰

    Great SPF!

    Love this!! Works well for me over moisturiser and goes by feel at all laggy. Makeup goes on well after application. No complaints at all!

    Weightless

    I’ve tried a lot of sunscreens over the past few years, but this is among my top picks. It’s super light, once absorbed I honestly don’t even notice that I’m wearing sunscreen at all - there’s no stickiness or weight like other sunscreen serums I’ve tried . It also doesn’t break me out which honestly, is nothing short of a miracle.

    Best 50+ I have used for under makeup

    Due to a history of skin cancers on my face I have to where SPF 50 daily. All previous brands I had tried (and there were many!) left me greasy. Dawn to Dusk does not, in fact I feel it makes a great base for foundation- just let it dry first.

    Only down side is the packaging - the dropper won't extract the last bit so I spent a few weeks with it upside down to drain and then shaking it out onto my fingers to apply. I would prefer it in a tube. Am now onto my second bottle.

    Best sunscreen

    The only sunscreen that works for me, especially under makeup all day . It’s lightweight glides on so easy, doesn’t make me an oily mess. Love how it leaves my skin hydrated too. Absolutely love wearing it in no makeup days . 10/10 this will be my forever sunscreen
