What makes it special?

I have complete faith (backed up by evidence) for Mesoestetic’s formulations - when it comes to SPF this is the Rolls Royce of products - this is also reflected in its price but you really do get what you pay for with this product. It’s quite hard to find SPF with such high protection that also sits well on the skin and makes you want to keep reapplying it. The addition of Azeloglycine - a pigmentation and hydration agent in its own right is an added benefit. Likely not enough to treat pigmentation by itself in addition to the rest of your routine will work wonders.

Key ingredients

Azeloglycine is a water-soluble derivative of azelaic acid combined with glycine. It is commonly used to help regulate excess sebum and support a more even-looking skin tone. While azelaic acid itself is well established in dermatology, evidence for azeloglycine is more limited, with benefits largely supported by small studies and manufacturer data. It is generally well tolerated and is often included in formulations for oily, acne-prone or uneven skin, where it likely supports clarity and brightness without the irritation associated with stronger actives.

Application Instructions

You’ll want to give the bottle a vigorous shake and squeeze out two finger lengths (carefully it comes out quickly!) of product onto your hand to apply to your face (all the way into your hairline), neck, ears and eyelids and massage gently.

It’s normal for the tint to look a little “caramel” when it first goes on but this will settle with some massage and should have evened out after a few minutes.

Depending on your skin type or how your skin is feeling on the day you may find that this will suffice as a light moisturiser although if your skin is feeling even slightly dry then you’ll want to moisturise first followed by this.

As with all SPF the advice is to reapply every two hours - I know that this sounds overwhelming but do try to apply as often as possible particularly if you are outdoors, have been sweating, have been in water or have towelled your face.
