Can I wear makeup over Daycream Defence Repair SPF 50?

Q: Can I wear makeup over Daycream Defence Repair SPF 50?

Immediate Answer: Yes—and it actually works well as a makeup base. The velvety finish creates a smooth surface for foundation, concealer, and powder. Apply the daycream, wait 2-3 minutes for it to settle, then apply makeup as normal. The Science: The formula is designed to absorb fully rather than sit as a greasy layer on the skin's surface. Once absorbed, it creates a semi-matte finish that foundation adheres to well. The silicone base (cyclopentasiloxane, dimethicone) in the formula is similar to many makeup primers—so you're essentially getting primer-like smoothing benefits built into your SPF. Application Order: Gentle Cleansing FoamPower Glow SerumDaycream Defence Repair SPF 50 — wait 2-3 minutesFoundation, concealer, powder as desired Important: Apply the daycream before any makeup. SPF needs direct contact with skin to work properly. Applying foundation first and SPF on top significantly reduces protection. Pro Tip: Many customers tell us they need less foundation after using this product for a few weeks. The active ingredients (niacinamide, vitamin C, bio-retinol) gradually improve skin tone, texture, and radiance—so your skin looks better even before makeup.
