Kiehl's Better Screen UV Serum SPF 50+ — 0.5 fl oz lightweight collagen-peptide sunscreen, non-comedogenic

Kiehl's Better Screen UV Serum SPF 50+ is a lightweight, collagen-peptide sunscreen serum that provides clinical SPF 50+ protection while targeting early signs of sun-driven aging with an invisible finish.

Everyday sun exposure is a major factor in premature skin aging and uneven tone. This compact 0.5 fl oz serum blends chemical and mineral UVA/UVB filters with a collagen-boosting peptide to shield skin and help improve texture, radiance, and the appearance of sun spots. The non-comedogenic, sheer formula layers smoothly under makeup and is designed for all skin types, including oily and acne-prone complexions.

How does this serum protect skin while also addressing early signs of aging?

The formula delivers clinically demonstrated SPF 50+ broad-spectrum protection to reduce new UV damage while a targeted Collagen Peptide supports visible improvements in tone and texture. It’s designed to be both protective and corrective without feeling heavy on the skin.

• Broad-spectrum SPF 50+ clinically demonstrated protection
• Collagen Peptide helps support skin’s firmness and texture
• Visible correction of early signs like sun spots and dullness
• Sheer finish avoids the typical white cast

Will it feel greasy or clog my pores?

This serum is formulated to be exceptionally lightweight and non-comedogenic, so it hydrates without leaving an oily residue. It absorbs quickly and is suitable for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin types.

• Hydrating yet fast-absorbing texture
• Non-comedogenic—won’t clog pores
• Leaves an invisible, matte-friendly finish

Can I use it under makeup and on different skin tones?

Yes — the finish is designed to be invisible across multiple skin tones and to layer well under base products. Apply it as the last step in skincare before makeup for durable protection without pilling.

• No white cast on a range of skin tones
• Compatible with foundation and tinted products
• Works well as a daily base for makeup application

How should I use this serum for best results?

Use it every morning as the final step in your skincare routine and reapply as needed when exposed to sunlight for extended periods. A little product goes a long way; ensure even coverage over the face and neck.

• Apply daily as the final skincare step before makeup
• Reapply after swimming, sweating, or toweling off
• Use with additional sun-safe habits for optimal protection
