Blocks the sun's UV rays — the single biggest thing you can do to prevent aging.
What it is
Blocks the sun's UV rays — the single biggest thing you can do to prevent aging. In short, it's one of the protection ingredients Vaiya's engine understands and can match to your skin and goals.
How to use it
Introduce UV filters slowly — every other day at first — and give your skin a couple of weeks to adjust before increasing frequency. Patch test on a small area first, and if you layer several actives, add one at a time so you can tell what's working.
