Frequently asked questions

Which ZO Skin Health sunscreen suits me?

Daily Sheer: the lightest, most matte option - no greasy feel. Broad Spectrum SPF 50: the classic with 12% zinc oxide. Smart Tone: adapts to your colour. Sunscreen + Powder: for reapplying over make-up. Sheer Fluid: 100% mineral without a white cast.

All offer Triple-Spectrum Protection against UVA, UVB and HEV (blue light).

Why does this sunscreen contain natural melanin?

The natural melanin additionally protects against HEV light (blue light) from screens and LEDs. While UVA/UVB filters guard against sunburn and ageing damage, the melanin blocks invisible blue light radiation, so that your skin is comprehensively protected against modern radiation exposure.

The Triple-Spectrum Protection system means: UVA (skin ageing), UVB (sunburn) and HEV (blue light) are all covered. Especially important if you sit at a screen a lot.

Can I apply this sunscreen over serums and creams?

Yes, that is actually ideal. The Daily Sheer is designed as the last step in the morning and sits perfectly over serums, toner and moisturisers. The non-greasy, fast-drying finish means you don't get a greasy shine when you're out and about.

Application order: cleanser → toner → serum → cream → Daily Sheer (wait until it has dried). The matte finish still lets you look natural, so that the sunscreen doesn't look like a mask.

Is this sunscreen really water- and sweat-resistant?

Yes, the Daily Sheer is water- and sweat-resistant - meaning it holds up to 40 minutes during sport or in water. This is important for reliable protection, whether you swim or train.

After bathing you should reapply. With intense everyday sweating, one reapplication during the day is enough. That is why there is also the Sunscreen + Powder - for convenient reapplication over make-up without smudging.

Does this SPF 50 contain retinol - can I use it in the morning?

Yes, the sunscreen contains a mild vitamin A derivative (retinyl palmitate), but in the morning that is not a problem. Vitamin A and vitamin E are stabilised and act as antioxidants against free radicals that arise from UV radiation.

You should still wear sunscreen in the morning - the amount of vitamin A here is low-dosed and is protected by the antioxidants and the UV filter. This makes this sunscreen ideal for daily anti-ageing protection, so that you prevent signs of ageing while protecting your skin.

About the brand

ZO Skin Health was developed by Dr. Zein Obagi - one of the world's most renowned dermatologists, with over 35 years of research in Beverly Hills. His principle: the skin is not “repaired” from the outside; instead, the cells themselves are activated. Because collagen, elastin and cell renewal decline with age, ZO products work in a targeted way across different skin layers - as system skincare following established treatment protocols, not as a single product.
