I have use this brand once and I do apply sunscreen first before i apply the wipe. I stop using this brand and have switch over to another brand. I now use BullFrog Mosquito Repellent. The reason is, the BullFrog ones also have sunblock in it, SPF 30 which is all I need. I like that brand a lot because it works quite well. I haven't had a bite when I travel to Southeast Asia.

I'm not entirely sure but I'd guess yes. If it were me, I'd use a spray sunscreen AFTER using the wipes.

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.

I wash before, then moisturize after. I use Retin A (tretinoin) sometimes for really good exfoliation and this gets rid of flaky skin afterward.

I agree with dbl00--apply after washing skin to bare skin. I have used this combo for years and while I do think the product is a little harsher than the far more expensive version that Skinceuticals has to offer, it still works quite well. When I first learned of this product, it was from a licensed esthetician employed at the W Hotel in SF, CA. She explained to me that this combination of Vit C, E & Ferulic provides an bit sun protection. I never understood how this is possible, but do seem to feel that it is true when applied correctly.

I applied near my eyes and it's not burning. However, if you sweat and it runs down into your eyes, all sunscreens will burn or irritate your eyes. That's why the manufacturer recommends applying sunscreen not near the eyes. If it burns, you can rinse with water to get it off. This one is milder than most in terms of irritating to sensitive areas like the eyes.

Clean area with isopropyl alcohol, shake blueing, dip Q-tip and apply. A redness will occur at the site. Wait a half minute and wipe with a soft cloth. If you need the blueing darker, you can repeat the process. I found this stuff to be simple to use and very effective!

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!

I found it came out smoother when you mixed it with another lotion. I haven't tried sunscreen. But it should be fine.

Yes. I apply the Vitamin C+E first. Wait a couple of minutes. Then apply the Hydra B5 Gel over it. After that, apply moisturizer and the last one sunscreen.

Agreed. If burn or damage is a concern, yes, put on a layer of sunscreen before you apply the Bain De Soliel. It's worth it! The aroma and feel of this stuff is totally luxurious. It makes time lounging by the pool or on the beach even nicer.

I love this sunscreen. With that being said, yes, it will leave a bit of a white cast on your skin and be a little sticky at first. It really isn't too bad though.

Hello MJR. I would say that rinsing is necessary. I use the wipes at night to remove eye make-up (one side of the wipe for one eye, and the other side for the other eye), when my face is dry. Then I wash my whole face with my regular soap and wash it off. I don't put soap in my eyes, so water is sufficient for rinsing the suds from the wipes off. Hope this helps.

I love this product! I'm getting ready to order my second bottle.... I use moisturizer with sunscreen over the serum since the serum isn't a moisturizer, but it also depends on your skin type, mine is on the dryer side and I need the sunscreen also. Glad to hear you like it too!

I'm not sure if you can use sunscreen with this product. It leaves no noticeable residue on the skin, but it does have its own distinct smell. I don't know what that would smell like combined with the smell of the sunscreen or if putting sunscreen over this product would reduce its bug-killing effectiveness. It might be okay if you put the sunscreen on first and then the bug guard, which is likely the lighter product. Perhaps someone could give that a try and let us know how it works . . . .

I do have sunscreen first and have makeup over that make me look better. I use sunscreen as skin cream.

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.

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.
