The Science
How It Works
1
Shield
SPF 50 PA++++ broad-spectrum filters create an invisible barrier against UVA and UVB rays, preventing sun damage before it starts
2
Brighten
Melazero targets the tyrosinase enzyme to inhibit UV-triggered melanin overproduction, while Niacinamide evens existing skin tone
3
Hydrate & Protect
Hyaluronic Acid locks in moisture under the SPF layer while Vitamin E neutralizes UV-generated free radicals for antioxidant defense
Powered by Melazero + Niacinamide
A serum-first sunscreen combining broad-spectrum SPF 50 PA++++ with active skincare: Melazero for melanin control, Niacinamide for barrier strength, Hyaluronic Acid for hydration, and Vitamin E for antioxidant protection.

Application
How to Use
1
Moisturise
Apply your CIEL moisturiser and let it absorb for a minute. Sunscreen works best over hydrated skin.
2
Apply
Take a two-finger length amount and spread evenly across face and neck. Don't forget ears and hairline.
3
Reapply
Reapply every 2-3 hours during sun exposure, or immediately after sweating or towel-drying.
Pro Tip: The serum texture absorbs fast, so layer it as the last step of your morning skincare. Melazero and Niacinamide work throughout the day to brighten and protect. Reapply every 2-3 hours during extended sun exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use this product?
Apply generously as the last step of your morning skincare routine, after moisturizer. Spread evenly across your face, neck, and any exposed skin. Give it a minute to set before stepping out. Reapply every 2-3 hours if you're spending time outdoors.
Is this suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. The main actives here are Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid, both well-tolerated by sensitive skin. It is lightweight, non-comedogenic, and won't clog pores. Tested through Clinic Dermatech. No parabens, sulfates, mineral oils, or synthetic fragrance.
When will I see results?
Sun protection starts working the moment you put it on. The Melazero and Niacinamide brightening actives take about 2-4 weeks of daily use to show a visible difference in skin tone. You will feel the hydration from Hyaluronic Acid right away. Reapply every 2-3 hours when you are outdoors.
