pHformula C.C. cream SPF 30 light - 50 ml

A light tinted cream that evens out your skin tone while providing SPF 30 sun protection. One step instead of three.

Why it works

Many people think a tinted cream is a foundation with some SPF in it. It is actually the other way around. This is first and foremost a sunscreen with broad-spectrum filters, to which color pigments have been added that adapt to your own tone. As a result, it evens out redness and blemishes without looking like a layer of product. The filters are reef-safe, and it also contains rice bran oil, an antioxidant complex, and a calming complex that keeps the skin settled.

The formula is vegan. Note if you are allergic to iodine: it contains kelp extract, so please perform a patch test first. The texture is light and glides on like a cream, not like makeup.

For whom

For those who have little time in the morning but still want to head out protected and with an even complexion. For skin with some redness or an uneven tone. Also for those who never really wear makeup: this doesn't feel like makeup, but you can see the difference. Not for children. And, perhaps unexpectedly, men buy this too, precisely because it is undetectable on the skin.

How to use it

In the morning, as the final step of your skincare routine, apply to the face, neck, and décolleté. Let it absorb for twenty to thirty minutes before going outside. This is where it almost always goes wrong: because it is tinted, people use far too little of it, just as they would with foundation. For SPF 30 protection, you need about two finger lengths for the face and neck. Reapply every two to three hours when outdoors, especially after sweating or swimming.

About this shade

This is the lightest of the four shades. It suits light skin that burns easily and tans slowly, with a cool to neutral undertone: think of a pink or bluish cast to the veins in your wrist. If you are doubting between light and light-medium, choose this one.

My advice to you

This is the product that finally gets most people to wear sun protection every day, and that is the real benefit. Not because it protects better than a regular SPF, but because you will actually wear it. If you are debating between two shades, choose the lighter of the two: this cream adapts and warms up slightly on the skin compared to how it looks in the tube. And always test on your jawline, never on your hand. The skin on your hand has a very different color than your face.
