Sun Safe...Really enjoying the sun coverage and moisture rich face cream....It felt nice on my face and I could tell that it provided plenty of hydration, but it was a little too heavy for my oily and acne-prone skin. I knew this must be a good moisturizer since it has the ingredients that my dermatologist told me to use including the SPF 30 sun protection, but I started to break out after a few days of use.

What it is:
A rich antiaging moisturizer featuring strong, broad-spectrum sun protection to inhibit premature aging and rebuild youthfulness.

What it is formulated to do:
Perfecting Day Cream is a rich, moisturizing, antiaging cream. It features 360° sun and antioxidant protection to shield skin from UV and free radical damage that can age skin. Essential fatty acids and lecithin deliver moisture and restore suppleness while pomegranate and grape seed extracts condition. Soy flour protects elasticity and softens the appearance of fine lines.
