What It Is

A lightweight moisturizer with SPF 50 that works as a facial sunscreen and makeup primer to hydrate, prime and help protect skin in one easy step.

  • What It Does

    This 3-in-one primer, moisturizer and SPF 50 is made with antioxidant-rich Vitamin E, Moringa seed extract & Edelweiess that instantly hydrates, soothes, and comforts the skin, leaving it with a radiant, healthy-looking glow. The technology behind UV Expert combines broad spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen protection with a breathable, quickly-absorbed texture-acting as a weightless armor for your skin.
    Sun Protection: Harmful UV rays are present all year round and can penetrate through windows when you are not outside, leaving your skin vulnerable to damage caused by UV. UV Expert provides SPF 50 protection that helps prevent sunburn and decreases the risk of skin cancer & early skin aging caused by the sun*. Daily SPF protection is important for all skin tones to reduce the risk of sun damage. UV Expert helps protect skin as the #1 selling prestige SPF 50 in-sun face product**
    Weightless Texture Experience: The cooling Aquagel texture transforms into water-like gel that is highly breathable, quickly absorbed & appears invisible on skin. The moisturizer is not greasy or sticky and leaves no white residue, making it ideal as a face primer under makeup.

Smoothing + protection

Great with helping your foundation blend in. I let it sit a few moments to dry. Overall a wonderful product.

Lightweight and great under makeup

This sunscreen feels very lightweight and absorbs quickly without leaving a white cast or greasy feeling. It layers nicely under makeup and keeps my skin feeling comfortable and protected throughout the day. Great for everyday use, and I would definitely recommend it.

Hoping for summer base, but very disappointed!

I purchased hoping to find a summer primer w uv protection but comparing w previous purchased Lancôme primer w pump there is no comparison. The Lancôme primer WITHOUT uv protection is far superior and allows you to use w Lancome foundation giving a far better base and outcome to provide a smoother flawless finish. I had hoped this was a good summer base but sadly very disappointed after using daily for over a week. I wouldn’t purchase again unless it was deeply discounted as it uses far more product than the other primer .

Try it, wont be disappointed!

I got this like few months but was very skeptical to try it until I was out of the regular sunscreen. I thought well, just give it a try, and wow! It didn't disappoint me at all. Now im addicted to it. I normally applied one thin layer before my foundation. I used it as moisturizer.

great product

This sunscreen product is very good. As a tour guide, I often get exposed to the sun, but because I have been using Lanc ô me sunscreen products, my face only has scattered spots and has not been tanned.

Love this

I really like this under my makeup routine, it’s not greasy or heavy like other spf products I’ve used. Wish it was a little less expensive, it’s not a big bottle for the price.
