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

    Sunscreen that doesn’t feel like sunscreen

    I’m 50 and previously refused to put sunscreen on my face unless it was zinc. And that was only for the beach etc. It usually feels itchy, looks white and greasy and leaves my face irritated. I thought I should try to find one to use every day because aging is creeping up and as I love Alpha H thought I’d give it a go. Amazing. Feels like skincare, acts like sunscreen. I’m converted!!

    So nice on the skin!

    I have been trying so many different products to find the right SPF, I dont like how most of them feel thick and claggy on the skin. This product is so light and smooth and goes so well under makeup. I highly Recommend!

    My skin just keeps on loving it 🥰

    I never really thought much of using an SPF daily as part of my skincare routine as a woman of colour until now. I recently bought this SPF50 really as a tester, all be it an expensive tester, but my skin is so glad that I did. 🫶🏾

    The consistency is so smooth, that it glides on my skin and leaves an amazing glow, that I look forward in using it every morning, and it doesn’t sting my eyes which is one of the reasons why I loathed the idea of using any SPF much less a SPF 50!

    It doesn’t leave any white marks which means spending time, rubbing and rubbing it into my skin just to try and get rid of the streaks.

    Thank you Alpha H for giving me a joy in using a product which is not only good for my skin but a product which I love to use every day 👩🏽‍🦱

    Finally

    I have been seeking an spf to use daily for what feels like years and I’ve finally found it. So smooth, absorbs perfectly and doesn’t disrupt my skin.
