We know how much you love Hydra Vizor, and we’ve actually been wanting to offer a mineral option for a while —which is why we’ve spent the last three years testing, tweaking, and trying this new mineral formula. We had to make sure it was worthy of the Hydra Vizor name and of becoming a daily fave.

Sunscreens fall into one of two categories: chemical and mineral (also sometimes called “physical”). Both help protect skin from damaging sun rays but do so in different ways.

Chemical sunscreens contain ingredients that work to absorb damaging UV rays, convert them into heat, and then release that heat through skin. Mineral sunscreens contain ingredients that act as a physical barrier between damaging UV rays and your skin—essentially working to help protect your skin from the harmful effects. Chemical sunscreens have their conveniences, but it’s always good to have options. Mineral sunscreens sit on top of the skin, start to work instantly, and tend to be preferred by people with more sensitive or reactive skin.

All of our products are thoroughly tested, tried, and true—so don’t stress. We don’t take your trust lightly and safety is our number one priority.

Fenty Skin has always stood for clean, cruelty-free, and safe ingredients of the highest standard—and that’ll never change. Offering a mineral SPF option has nothing to do with how incredible our original Hydra Vizor is.

Yep—the composition of mineral sunscreens mean they naturally feel a little different than chemical ones. You might notice the new formulation is extremely lightweight with a soft feel, and has a slightly different color - less pink and more peach. You’ll still get no chalky effect and zero flashback, and over time notice benefits like refining the look of pores, reducing the look of dark spots, improving elasticity, and a stronger moisture barrier. And just like the original formula, Hydra Vizor Mineral SPF 30 Moisturizer layers perfectly under makeup with no pilling, flashback or greasy effect.

Don’t worry—we did that on purpose. The mineral version is a little more peachy-colored—it’s one of the reasons it’s sheer on so many skin tones and layers perfectly under makeup.

We get it—a lot of non-chemical sunscreens still feel old school. But we wouldn’t be us if we didn’t make sure our sunscreen stayed sheer across skin tones. We’ve basically modernized the mineral to make sure ours is super lightweight, smooth, and transparent with serious skincare benefits and zero flashback. So you get to keep a lot of the same perks you love about the original version—with a damn-near-undetectable look and feel.

In two words: you betta. One of the best things about Hydra Vizor is how it helps create a perfect canvas for any makeup look—it offers lightweight instant and all-day hydration, has a smooth and non-greasy feel, instantly refines the look of pores, and will not pill. The peachy color goes on sheer even on bare skin, so you already know it won’t show under makeup—making it a no-excuses, non-negotiable part of your daily skincare routine.

We’ll make it easy for ya: Every. Damn. Day.

Experts recommend applying enough sunscreen to cover the parts of your body that aren’t covered by clothing. Hydra Vizor is intended to be used as a facial sunscreen—apply enough to cover your face, ears, and neck.

If you’re going to be outside, you need to reapply every two hours to get the most protection.

Here’s the deal: Hydra Vizor protects against both UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays can cause premature aging (who wants that!?). We’re talking sagging, wrinkles and dark spots. And, you’re not necessarily safe inside because these bad boys can even penetrate glass! UVB rays are the main cause of sunburn and skin cancer.

Let’s break it down: SPF stands for sun protection factor. The SPF number is that many times UVB protection versus not wearing any sunscreen at all. SPF of 30 effectively absorbs 97% of the UVB rays from sunlight.

Hey boo, we got you: Rihanna wanted Hydra Vizor to work well with all skin tones—and with makeup, too. Hydra Vizor blends invisibly, plus it provides a perfect canvas for makeup, won’t pill or ball up, and get this—has no flashback.

In addition to avoiding the sun, covering up, wearing a hat and UV-protective sunglasses, regularly wearing SPF—like Hydra Vizor—can help prevent darkening of skin by sun exposure. This balances the look of your complexion and may help avoid or lessen visible dark spots. Made with niacinamide (a form of vitamin B3), Hydra Vizor is also clinically proven  to reduce the look of dark spots over time in an 8-week clinical study on 52 women.

No matter how much melanin you’ve got, you need to wear SPF. In fact, some of the skin concerns of those of us with deeper skin tones, like uneven skin tone, discoloration and dark spots, are worsened by sun exposure. On a more serious note, practicing good sun sense and using an SPF regularly helps prevent skin cancer.

We see you! Hydra Vizor is made for all skin types. It was clinically tested on oily skin types which tend to be the ones that experience breakouts. It’s also oil free, won’t clog pores, plus, it’s nongreasy and feels weightless on your skin.

Yes, all SPFs expire. Every product is shipped to customers or storefronts with ample shelf life left. For North America, where this is regulated as an OTC drug, check the expiration date printed on the product.

The Hydra Vizor formula is global, but every country has different regulations about how sunscreen is sold. The right version for you is the one that’s labeled for your country!

Hydra Vizor OG is only available in the U.S. right now.

Here’s the deal: Every country has specific rules and regulations. We’re talking updates, changes, limitations, etc. (sooo many) that we need to meet in different regions.

We know there’s a lot of love for Hydra Vizor, which is one reason we created our mineral formula. It has SPF 30 plus a lot of the same skincare benefits as the OG, which means it has you (and those regulations) covered!
