Frequently asked questions

Do I still need a separate primer?

No. This product combines SPF 30 with primer properties: matte finish, optical pore refinement, and colour-neutral base for make-up. A separate primer step would add an unnecessary additional layer.

Is SPF 30 enough for daily protection?

SPF 30 filters approximately 97% of UVB rays, which is sufficient for everyday use (office, short commutes). For extended outdoor time, sports, or summer, SPF 50+ is recommended. Consistent daily application of SPF 30 is better than SPF 50 used only occasionally.

How does this primer differ from regular sunscreens?

A standard sunscreen protects, but often leaves a whitish cast or a sticky finish under make-up. Sunscreen + Primer has a matte, dry finish that works as a base — make-up adheres better, pores appear refined, and there is no tackiness.

Can I combine this primer with my existing foundation primer?

No, that would create too many layers and your make-up could peel or look grainy. Sunscreen + Primer replaces the primer step. The combination SPF + primer in one product is the more elegant solution.

Which skin types is this product particularly suitable for?

Particularly for combination and oily skin. The primer system with a mattifying finish prevents the T-zone from shining through by midday and keeps the make-up in place longer. Also suitable for sensitive skin because the formula contains no fragrances.

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.
