Kiehl's SPF 50+ Better Screen Facial Sunscreen Serum — Lightweight Collagen-Peptide, No White Cast

Kiehl's SPF 50+ Better Screen Facial Sunscreen Serum is a lightweight, collagen-peptide facial sunscreen that delivers broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection with an invisible finish.

Designed as a daily-use facial sunscreen, this serum combines sun protection with peptide-containing skincare to help maintain skin texture and radiance. The formula is non-comedogenic, leaves no white cast, and is intended for all skin types, including oily and acne-prone skin. Clinically demonstrated SPF 50+ performance and user-tested improvements in smoothness, radiance, and evenness make it a practical step for morning routines.

How does this sunscreen protect skin without feeling heavy?

The product is formulated as a lightweight serum, which absorbs quickly and layers comfortably under makeup. Its texture prioritizes hydration and a non-greasy feel so it won’t clog pores or create shine throughout the day.

• SPF 50 broad-spectrum filters shield against UVA and UVB exposure.
• Serum base provides fast absorption and a non-oily finish.
• Non-comedogenic formula suitable for acne-prone skin.
• No visible residue or white cast on multiple skin tones.

What skin benefits do the collagen peptides provide?

Collagen peptides in the formula are included to support skin texture and appearance after sun exposure. While sunscreen prevents further UV damage, peptides target surface signs that can affect smoothness and radiance.

• Helps improve appearance of skin texture and tone over time.
• Supports a more radiant complexion when used regularly.
• Designed to complement daily skincare routines and treatments.

Will it work with makeup and different skin types?

This sunscreen serum is created to layer well beneath cosmetics and other skincare products, offering an invisible base for daily application. Its lightweight, non-greasy nature makes it suitable for dry, combination, oily, and acne-prone skin.

• Applies smoothly under foundation and tinted moisturizers.
• Leaves an invisible finish across a range of skin tones.
• Clinically tested on multiple skin types with positive user feedback.
• Can be applied to hands before UV-exposed treatments like gel manicures.

How should I use this product in my morning routine?

Use the sunscreen serum as the final step in morning skincare after serums and moisturizers, but before makeup application. Reapply throughout the day as needed, particularly after sweating or towel-drying, to maintain sun protection.

• Apply liberally to face and neck as the last skincare step in the morning.
• Allow a few moments for absorption before applying makeup.
• Reapply every two hours if exposed to prolonged sunlight.

Who is this for: Kiehl's SPF 50+ Better Screen Facial Sunscreen Serum is aimed at anyone seeking daily, high-level sun protection paired with skincare benefits—especially people who want a lightweight, invisible finish that layers under makeup and is safe for oily or acne-prone skin.
