Youth-Extending Daily Hydrating Fluid SPF 50

RESIST Youth-Extending Daily Hydrating Fluid SPF 50 is an anti-aging moisturizer with a weightless feel & invisible touch, great for all skin types (even oily). Plant-derived antioxidants visibly minimize current and future signs of aging while smoothing skin and priming for makeup application.

Provides effective UVA/UVB protection plus hydration for a healthier, younger-looking complexion. Its satin-matte finish leaves skin feeling smooth and hydrated, never slick or greasy. It is a daytime anti-aging moisturizer those with oily skin will want to apply every day! The SPF 50 is a significant benefit as it decreases the risk of skin cancer and early skin aging caused by the sun if used as directed with other sun protection measures.

Apply liberally to face and neck 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply as needed throughout the day. Wait 1–2 minutes before applying makeup.
