What it does
Vivier lists three benefits: it provides hybrid mineral and chemical broad-spectrum SPF 45 protection against UVA and UVB damage, controls shine with a soft matte finish for smooth, natural-looking skin, and hydrates while protecting with lightweight antioxidant support. Vivier states it layers under makeup.
Who it is for
Oily or combination skin, anyone who wants a higher SPF number, and people who wear makeup over their sunscreen. Vivier uses it as the morning SPF in its Essential Anti-Aging and both Brighten and Restore programs.
How to use it
Apply liberally and evenly fifteen minutes before sun exposure to face, neck and chest. Reapply at least every two hours, and use a water-resistant sunscreen if swimming or sweating.
How it fits with your treatments at Bar Beauty
If you are having pigment or resurfacing work, the sunscreen you will actually wear every day matters more than the one with the highest specification on paper. This is the one most of our makeup-wearing patients stick with.
