pHformula Compact foundation SPF 50+ Light, matte - 10 g

A compact foundation with very high sun protection, factor 50+, which you apply with a sponge and gives your skin a natural, even coverage.

Why it works

Make-up with SPF on the packaging rarely provides the stated level of protection in practice, because you use far too little of it. This compact is designed differently: it is a sunscreen that wears like a foundation, which means the layer you apply is actually thick enough to count. It works with a broad-spectrum filter complex against UVA and UVB, supplemented by an antioxidant complex and a nourishing complex based on sunflower.

The formula is vegan, reef-safe, and free from mineral oil. The texture transforms from cream to powder on the skin, is long-lasting, and does not leave a heavy layer behind.

For whom

For those who want coverage and high protection at the same time, for example, if the skin has just undergone a treatment or has an uneven tone. For those who prefer not to lug a tube around in their handbag. And what you might not expect: even for those who actually dislike foundation. Because you can build it up very thinly with the sponge and only where necessary, it never looks like a mask.

How to use it

In the morning on cleansed skin, after your skincare, about thirty minutes before you go outside. Apply with the included sponge and blend evenly down to the neck. The mistake almost everyone makes: applying it too thinly because it looks nicer that way. For the protection stated on the box, you need a generous layer. Reapply every two to three hours when you are outside, and especially after sweating or swimming. Wash the sponge regularly.

About this shade

This is the lightest shade with a matte finish. It suits light skin with a neutral to cool undertone, and those who get shiny quickly in the T-zone. The matte finish keeps the skin even all day long, so choose this one for combination or oily skin rather than dry skin.

A final tip

I often see customers hesitating between two shades at the register. Choose by undertone, not by light or dark: a shade that is the right depth but has the wrong undertone is much more noticeable. Test on your jawline in daylight, not under the shop lighting and not on your hand. And one more thing: the finish of this compact, matte or luminous, determines at least as much how your skin looks as the color itself. A matte shade on dry skin quickly makes it look older than it is.
