About

Protect and perfect your complexion effortlessly with Day Drops Ultra Sheer Mineral SPF 50, a serum-first sunscreen that delivers broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection while instantly smoothing, brightening, and refreshing skin—so you actually look forward to wearing SPF every day.

Most sunscreens sit on top of skin. Day Drops becomes part of it with an innovative mineral formula with micronized zinc oxide (25%) for lightweight, sheer broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection with absolutely zero white cast—blending seamlessly into all skin tones. Vitamin C brightens the look of uneven skin tone and supports a more radiant complexion throughout the day, while green tea polyphenols and an advanced antioxidant complex defend against environmental stress and free radical damage that accelerates aging. The result is skin that not only stays protected—it looks visibly smoother, more even-toned, and more radiant from the moment you apply it.

    I was very excited to try this product the moment it launched! I love the packaging and ingredients and trying it for the first time my impressions were: 1) I really love the consistency of this sunscreen. It’s very milky-serum-like and is very easy to apply and rub into the skin. 2) The product when applying, felt very silky/buttery-like guving a more luxurious feel vs. applying sunscreen feel 3) Gives a beautiful natural glow to your skin (does not look or feel greasy) 4) Soak into the skin evenly, effortlessly, and dry down quickly. 5) Very light, barely there scent. Not a harsh sunscreen smell, which I love. Overall, I was very pleased with my first use of Day Drops. The only thing that could make this even better would be if it had the ability to blur imperfections like Sun Bae does. But, overall I am very impressed and will continue to use Day Drops 💖☀️

    This feels a little heavy and oily on my face.
