After applying this cream do you leave it on or wash it off? I don't usually like to wear makeup foundations so what is a good sunscreen to use?

I apply it and leave it on after washing my face. My foundation has sunscreen (just 15 SPF, I think) in it. If I'm going to be spending time in the sun, I use a 30 SPF on my face--no particular brand.

You wash the cream off your face as you would normally. I do not know of any sunscreen to use with it.

You'll need to leave it on. I'm not a big make-up person either, so I apply AquaGlycolic and a little loose powder and I'm done. If I'm going to be outside, I apply a light sunscreen moisturizer before the powder.

I just used this cream at night after washing with the glycolic facial wash and applying toner. Or I might use the glycolic cream if I planned on staying in all day without make up on. I use cetaphil lotion with sunscreen in the morning for an under make-up lotion/sunscreen. It is very a very light cream and soaks in quickly to your skin.

Think of this as a nightly face lotion; wash your face with your favorite cleanser then gently massage the Aqua Glycolic onto your face, avoiding your eye area. As far as which sunscreen you should use, that depends on your skin type. I would recommend something with a minimum SPF 30 however, if you are sensitive to the skin you should consider SPF 50.

I put it on after I've applied foundation and concealer. I use it as a finishing powder.

I use it after foundation and it works perfectly well. Looks like you dont put on makeup at all. A lot of my friends dont recognize I wear makeup everytime I hang out w them.

Definitely wash it off. I wouldn't even do it after 8 minutes. I would start with 1 minute and do it gradually more every time you try to get your skin used to it.

I use this before I put on my makeup because my make-up has a sunscreen in it . I would'nt recommend using it after make-up is applied. I haven't had to use a moisturizer with this.

I use it in place of another wash. It's very creamy, and feels good when u massage it in your face. Sometimes I don't feel like it gets ALL of the makeup off, so i will do another round (I have very oily skin). Anyway, this is a great product, but if u r looking for something for acne, look at the jan Marini benzoyl peroxide topical treatment. It comes in a 5% and 10%. It works GREAT. I am 38 and and still get black and whiteheads sometimes. If I use this faithfully every night, it keeps me from breaking out. My aesthetician recommended it and I have found that it is much cheaper on Amazon than at the salon. Good Luck! I use it in place of another wash.

I do not wear foundation. However, this moisturizer is not greasy or heavy on your skin after it is applied.

Wash your face as usual and then use Intellishade as your tinted makeup foundation. You can apply powder on top of it, a bit of blusher and you are good to go. You will be protected from the sun, have moisturized your skin and look fabulous the entire day. I have used it for 2 years.

Not at all. It goes on like a very silky foundation. After a couple hours it doesn't feel silky, but it still looks good. I need to wear a sunscreen all the time and this is the only one I've found that my skin can tolerate.

hi, it can leave a little bit of a white residue. usually sinks in and goes away. I do mix it with a dab of foundation/bronzer when applying to my face. I believe all physical sunblocks will leave a little white. It is not sticky and can leave my skin a little dry. I have super sensitive skin and chemical sunblocks are not an option for me. Ive tried everything and this is the only one I like.

Use it at night after you cleanse and before moisturizer. It is a solution that penetrates your skin and nothing washes off. Of course, cleanse, moisturizer and sunblock in the morning before makeup!

I wouldn't use it in place of sunscreen, if that's what you're asking. It will definitely wash off if you get in any kind of water. It will provide some extra sun protection for your face and chest though. I mainly use it to set my under eye concealer but I've occasionally use it my chest and neck as well.

I have to agree with Jessica, you can use it as your day cream (or) night cream. I use mine after the make up comes off. I cannot use under my foundation (I was a hot mess when I tried to) but if am not going to be out & about I use it as my day cream. This product is so amazing, anyway you use it you can't go wrong. Plays very well with other facial & beauty products. Smells heavenly too.

I love this sunscreen. I don't think it leaves my skin any shinier than any other sunscreen I have tried. I apply it very lightly. For darker complexions, it could possibly leave a lighter cast. What I like the most about it is that it doesn't cause breakouts.

I think it's to be worn over makeup-- is usually the last thing I put on. it's very natural and not sparkly. I suppose you could mix it with makeup? I don't wear foundation, just concealer and bronzer. I love this stuff and thinks it makes a very nice, subtle difference. Gives skin that glowy/dewy look where you want it and doesn't make you lookshiny. hope this helps :)

No down time with this one. I like to use water or aveno facial bar (soap free) to rinse off. You could apply with the gauze pad or your finger tip. Always wear sunscreen after a peel.

You apply sunscreen as last. If you are using powder/bronzer/blusher, you can apply them after you applied the sunscreen.
