Can I use this sunscreen if I have oily skin and acne?

Yes. Total Protection Face Shield SPF 50 is 100% mineral environmental protection that is free of chemical active ingredients, oil free, hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic and suitable for all skin types. If you have known allergies or specific ingredient sensitivities, we always recommend consulting your skin health professional before introducing a new product.

What is the difference between UVA and UVB damage?

UVB exposure leads to redness and sunburn, whereas UVA exposure causes skin darkening and pigmentation. Broad Spectrum protection ensures coverage against both UVA and UVB rays. Total Protection™ Face Shield SPF 50 offers Broad Spectrum SPF 50 for UVB protection and PA++++ for comprehensive UVA protection.

Why there is no expiration date printed on the bottle?

Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield sunscreens do not have an expiration date printed on them. This is because the FDA requires all over-the-counter drug products, including sunscreens, to undergo stability testing. Products that pass 3 years of real-time stability testing no longer need an expiration date, as they are proven to remain stable for at least 3 years.

This product has passed the 3-year stability test, so an expiration date is not required. However, once opened, we recommend using the product within the PAO (period-after-opening) timeframe, indicated by an open jar icon on the packaging. For most products, this is 12 months, ensuring peak efficacy.
