Can this be mixed with eye cream?
How often does this need to be reapplied?
When I normally apply spf moisturizer I apply half a teaspoon to my face and neck to get optimal protection. If I wanted to use this to cocktail a broad spectrum spf of 30 with my moisturizer how much of each product would I need to add? How much of each would I need to add for an spf of 50? And for those cloudy stay indoor days, how much of each for an spf of 20? Can I mix this with other moisturizers that aren't from Dermalogica and get the spf at the level I want?
It’s great to hear you are being so vigilant with your SPF and you’re correct that the amount we use will determine the actual SPF we get – not the number on the bottle. So to achieve the SPF 50 with the Solar Defence Booster use ½ tsp over your face on top of your moisturizer, if you are not going to be outside as much, you can reduce the SPF by mixing ½ and ½ with your moisturiser, we recommend that you use an almond amount of moisturiser for your face and neck so just use ½ an almond of each product (moisturiser and Solar Defence Booster).This will bring the SPF protection down to around SPF40. I’m sorry I can’t accurately give you a ratio for an SPF20 – to be honest I would stick with the ½ and ½ rule to be safe. Regarding mixing with non Dermalogica moisturisers I would instead layer the Solar Defence Booster on top.
Hope that helps,

Hi, can I please have clarification - I am using the skin smoothing moisturizer (I love it! So perfect for my skin!). Would it be best to apply this booster and then the moisturizer over the top? Or mix it half and half? I’m confused by the wording in the information section - does it mean it’s only full coverage if nothing is put over the top? Or is it still full coverage even mixed with the moisturizer? Thank you!
Thank you for your question. You can either apply the Solar Defense Booster SPF50 on top of your Skin Smoothing Cream ( this will provide full SPF50 protection) or you can mix Skin Smoothing Cream and Solar Defense Booster SPF50 together and apply, this does take the SPF protection down slightly to an SPF40.
I hope this helps! If you have any further questions, please contact customerservice@dermalogica.co.nz
