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 (i.e. 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

    Super Pretty Face

    This Super Pretty Face serum is Super Plucking Fantastic….truly. A true serum in texture and application, it goes on a dream and layers beneath makeup better than any other skincare or sunscreen I’ve ever used. I actually prefer to use this before makeup as it gives me unmatched hydration and a glow that never ever errs on the side of oily. I’m also very sensitive to chemical sunscreens and this one hasn’t irritated my eyes or migrated somehow into my mouth to leave me tasting chemicals all day (someone tell my body to stop doing this!!).

    Honestly I don’t LOVE the dropper packaging as I feel that I can’t ever get enough out, and I know there is plenty more product left when I can no longer get to it via the dropper, so it feels wasteful! I assume this packaging is a move to reduce environmental impact, but if the packaging gods come up with a recyclable post consumer air-free pump situation I’d be in SPF heaven.

    I’ll keep repurchasing this regardless as it’s the bomb!

    Why have I been a devotee of Alpha H for years? Results Results Results! No other skin care products give me the refinement of complexion plus SPF 50+ - also manufactured in Australia - what’s not to like?
