Can you use a moisturizer underneath this and apply makeup over it and still not compromise the integrity of the sunscreen? If I apply this in the morning at 8 a.m. and not go out until about 11a.m. should I reapply? Or is it just reapplying every few...

This sunscreen is rather thick. I would not use it this way. I have oily skin though, so this is just my opinion.

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.

Goes on the same as the first application. I know all sun blocks recommend reapplying after an hour or two. I seldom do, and I seem to do OK. Since this is a sun block, it is not absorbed into the skin as are chemical sun screens. A block stops sun rays from penetrating into the skin, Think shield. Unless Iam in water, or doings sweaty activities, I usually do not reapply. Hope this helps.

Not at all! this is one of the best sunscreen I ever used. At first it will leave a fade white film on your skin but it will disappear almost immediately, I do apply this little by little pea size portions over different areas of my face and neck until I cover the entire area. I use a light moisturizer before to apply this product because my skin is very dry but if your face is oily I will recommend you to use it by itself to try it first without moisturizer :) good luck!

It is the best sunscreen and top rated among dermatologists. It takes a good amount of rubbing to apply because of the lack of chemicals (good thing) and you need to reapply every 2-3 hrs (like all other sunscreens). I would think the reapply would be tough if you are sandy. I use this sunscreen on myself and my kids. LOVE IT

I use it under moisturizer. Sometimes, if I am not going to apply makeup, I use it alone during the day to let my skin breathe a little. I love the texture and feel of it. I do believe it is working for me.

I personally use it before because I like my sunscreen to sit on top as it should to protect you from the sun. Hope that helps. By the way, I love this cream and I have my girlfriend hooked on it to. :-)

I use it around the eyes regularly with no ill effect. But you have to carefully smooth it in or it stays in the creases and the under-eye area gets a little rough and scaly. Also, avoid getting it in your eyes, because it can sting quite a bit. I reapply once in every four hours when I'm out in the sun and after I wash my face or sweat a lot.

I put it on for 5mn then put on concealer. Be sure to wait the 5 then I use a tinted moisturizer w/ sun protection

No. This product is a very light lotion that I believe can be applied only once, before any other make up is applied. I do find that this is one of the least oily of the sunscreens I have used in the past and it also seems to work well with the make up applied afterwards as some do leave make up streaky looking or very shiny/greasy looking. Only a small amount needs to be applied.I hope this helps you!

I use this around my eyes in the morning to moisturize them before I put my makeup on. It is not a concealer though, just a great moisturizer. I also use it before I go to bed after I have cleansed my face.

There have been times that I've used this cream during the day, especially when I may have forgotten to put it on the night before, or I am going to be in the house all day, or there is very little sun out. But this cream does not have sunscreen in it like the daytime moisturizer, so I wouldn't recommend using it during the day. I love the Total Effects with SPF 15. Very emollient and offers great sun protection without looking pasty.

You really have to treat this like layering serums.Any moisturizer, cream, etc. goes on after it.If you're not using it alone then it goes on over the retinol and the creams go on over it.

Hello, I am actually an Esthetician and my medical spa sells the Obagi products. If it's at night, this should be the last thing you apply. If it's during the day, it should be the last thing you apply right before the sunblock. Let everything soak in before applying sunblock. If your skin is not very dry, you might only need to apply it at night but if it is more on the dry side then once in the morning and once at night should be good enough.

I'm sure you can use it all over and have it be effective, but it's a relatively small bottle and doesn't spread too easily (liquid absorbs more quickly once it comes into contact with skin). I recommend a spray sunscreen for all over application. Applying this would probably be one application and take at least 20 minutes.

Yes, if you apply it in the morning, you need a sunscreen. Sunscreen every day is the best defense against aging skin!

I do everyday. I let the moisturizer absorb completely and the apply the sunscreen. After that I use a CC cream over it. The CC cream also has sunblock. I have not been burned on my face so I believe the integrity of the sunscreen is still good. I have combination skin. I do reapply the sunblock in the late afternoon if I am going to be out in the sun again.
