The Smoothing Skin Tint / SPF 20 is more than just a makeup product—it’s a multitasking marvel that combines lightweight coverage, skin-smoothing benefits, and sun protection in one. With its innovative formula designed to blur imperfections and enhance your natural glow, it’s no wonder this product is already a fan favorite.
We’ve compiled answers to the most frequently asked questions we've had about Smoothing Skin Tint / SPF 20 and all the insights you need to make the most of this versatile product.
What kind of coverage does Smoothing Skin Tint/SPF 20 provide? The coverage is weightless and sheer. You won’t feel like you’re wearing makeup, but pores, wrinkles, and areas of pigmentation will look softly blurred - like a photo filter, except this is real life.
What kind of SPF protection does Smoothing Skin Tint/SPF 20 provide? Smoothing Skin Tint/SPF 20 provides 20 times more protection from sunburn and UVB rays than bare skin alone. It is also PA+++ rated, meaning that it is highly protective against the spectrum of UVA rays that cause deeper layer damage to the skin.
Smoothing Skin Tint/SPF 20 was created after years of formulating, using only the highest quality ingredients that also have skin benefits, and rejecting ingredients that might lend to a higher SPF rating but are potential irritants. We’ve struck a balance in creating an effective formula that also adheres to our strict standards for clean, beneficial, and ethical ingredients.
Additionally, the Aleph Concealer/Foundation contains a meaningful amount of titanium dioxide, which itself does offer SPF protection, but we are unable to have this product rated with an SPF number as each shade contains varying levels. Using Concealer/Foundation atop or beneath Smoothing Skin Tint/SPF 20 will add some level of additional protection and skin benefits.
What type of skin is this best suited to? Smoothing Skin Tint/SPF 20 gives deep hydration, blurring, and sun protection to all skin types and textures.
Do I need additional skincare underneath? Depending on your skin, your preference, and the season, you may find that Smoothing Skin Tint/SPF 20 is perfect on its own. It also pairs beautifully with Serum/Primer, The One, and Concealer/Foundation for added hydration, skincare, and coverage. Wear it underneath or atop any Aleph makeup and skincare.
Does Smoothing Skin Tint/SPF 20 have a fragrance? Smoothing Skin Tint/SPF 20 is free from synthetic fragrance. The faint floral aroma of the product is due to the presence of Immortelle Flower.
What does the PA+++ rating mean and how does it help me? The PA index stands for Protection Grade of UVA, which is an index that measures the ability of a sunscreen to protect the body from UVA rays. PA+++: provides high UVA protection, up to 90%, filter time about 8-12h.
How much product should I use for adequate UV protection? To ensure adequate spf protection we recommend applying a few drops to cover the face.
Can I reapply it over the top of my makeup? Yes! Lightly pat Smoothing Skin Tint/SPF 20 over makeup to reapply.
I wear Concealer/Foundation Shade 6.0 (and up)... Will Medium/Dark be deep enough for me? Yes, these tints are self adjusting and will work for all skin tones.
Our Concealer/Foundation also contains a meaningful amount of titanium dioxide which does offer some SPF protection, but we are unable to have these rated as each shade contains varying levels. So by layering these products you will get great sun protection.
Is it water resistant, can I swim in it? Sweat proof? Whilst it hasn’t been tested to be water resistant. It is absolutely fine to wear in water, but reapply after swimming. It doesn’t run whilst sweating.
US - why is it not available? At this stage we are not able to ship Smoothing Skin Tint to the US. This is something we are actively working hard on for the future. Rest assured you will be the first to know when we have a US launch date.
How do I get adequate product into the dropper? To ensure the dropper collects enough of the Smoothing Skin Tint, fully squeeze the dropper while it's inside the bottle, then release it slowly. Allow a moment for the product to be drawn into the dropper before unscrewing the cap for use.
