There's regular sunscreen and then there's Brightening Sunscreen. Uniquely formulated to go beyond just helping to protect your skin from the sun. It has added vitamin C, alpha-arbutin and olive derived nutrients to provide hydration, an antioxidant boost and help your skin-look brighter.
While we love a day of fun in the sun too, research shows it is the number one cause of premature aging. So it's important to protect your skin at all times - even on a cloudy day. Developed with titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, these 100% mineral-based skin-protectors offer broad spectrum SPF 30 to help block both UVA rays that are linked to causing fine lines and wrinkes and UVB rays that can cause skin-damaging sunburns.
Use daily along with other sun protection measures to help protect your skin from damaging sunburns, premature aging and enjoy brighter-looking skin with added vitamin C and alpha-arbutin. Both ingredients are known to help reduce the look of dark spots.

Gentle sun screen on my skinI’ve tried multiple sun screens on my sensitive facial skin with poor results. They resulted in either breakouts or dryness. This product does not irritate my skin.

Great find--lightweight sunblock!Awesome sunscreen. Believe it or not, i am a (relatively) new sunscreen user b/c I do feel my age is catching up with me. However, I've been a slow adopter of wearing sunscreen b/c I generally don't like the heaviness, oil, and film it leaves on my skin. I chanced upon this product, not really knowing what the "brightening" part meant, tried it, and... lo and behold(!!)... I love it! After I apply a thin coat over my entire face & neck, it looks white initially, but somehow absorbs and turns completely invisible. And, somehow it's also smooths out my fine lines and wrinkles (from years of no sunscreen, I suppose). It's not a lotion; rather, it's definitely more like a liquid sunblock. Highly recommend!

Great choiceLove this sunblock. Gentle enough for face. Does not leave white residue.
I noticed Talc is one of your ingredients in the Brighten Sunscreen. I've read that talc is bad and could be carcinogenic.
Asked by: Cydney
Hello.
Talc is widely used in cosmetics because of its absorption properties, and it is smooth and silky. While the talc used by DHC USA complies with the regulations and guidelines established by US regulatory authorities, DHC USA products are safe when used as intended and the decision to use a product containing specific ingredients is ultimately a personal choice.

Is the texture greasy? Leaving a shine a for oily skin?
Asked by: Beck
Hello.
Brightening Sunscreen is an excellent choice for oily skin types. It dries to a lightweight, silky-matte finish and can even be used as a makeup primer. Perfect for everyday wear and packed full of brightening and antioxidants, Brightening Sunscreen is a multi-tasking must-have!

Does this make my face white? Is it water based like Nivea?
Asked by: 2008K
Hello.
Because sun protection is provided by titanium dioxide and zinc, there's a risk it may leave a modest light cast; however, it's avoidable by thoroughly moisturizing and shaking the bottle before application.
