Skin Type Compatibility
How well this product works for different skin types
Contains several emollients (dimethicone, diisopropyl sebacate, triethylhexanoin) that help prevent moisture loss, but lacks strong humectants or occlusives for deep hydration. May not be moisturizing enough for very dry skin.
Lightweight silicones and esters provide a non-greasy finish, and the formula is not heavy or occlusive. However, some emollients may still feel slightly slick on very oily skin.
No fragrance or known major irritants listed, but multiple silicones and esters could potentially cause irritation or breakouts in highly sensitive individuals. Patch test recommended.
Balanced emollient and lightweight ingredients suit both dry and oily zones. May require additional moisturizer on very dry areas.
Contains several esters and silicones that can be comedogenic for some users. Not specifically oil-free or non-comedogenic, so may clog pores in acne-prone skin.
Well-balanced, lightweight, and non-irritating for most normal skin types. Provides adequate protection and comfort.
Seasonal Usage Recommendations
How to use this product throughout the year
Winter
Apply generously as usual, but pair with a richer moisturizer underneath to combat dryness from cold air and indoor heating. Reapply if outdoors for extended periods, as UV exposure persists in winter.
Spring
Continue daily use, ensuring even coverage as outdoor activities increase. The lightweight, non-comedogenic formula is suitable for fluctuating temperatures and humidity. Reapply after sweating or wiping your face.
Summer
Increase application frequency, especially with sweating, swimming, or prolonged sun exposure. The water-resistant, lightweight texture is ideal for humid conditions. Reapply every 2 hours when outdoors.
Fall
Maintain daily use as UV exposure remains significant. As air becomes drier and windier, consider layering over a hydrating serum or moisturizer to prevent dryness and support skin barrier function.

Detailed usage guidance for different skin concerns and best practices
Usage by Skin Concern
Dry Skin
Apply Anessa Perfect UV Skin Care Milk after a hydrating moisturizer to help lock in moisture and prevent dryness. Reapply every 2 hours if outdoors. Consider layering with a hydrating serum if skin feels tight.
Oily Skin
Apply a thin, even layer to clean skin. This sunscreen has a lightweight, milk texture that suits oily skin. Avoid heavy moisturizers underneath; use a gel-based moisturizer if needed. Blot excess oil before reapplication.
Sensitive Skin
Patch test on a small area before full use. Apply after a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to buffer potential irritation. Avoid applying to broken or inflamed skin. Reapply gently, avoiding excessive rubbing.
Combination Skin
Apply a thin layer to the entire face, focusing on drier areas with a bit more product. Use a lightweight moisturizer on oily zones and a richer one on dry zones before sunscreen.
Acne-Prone Skin
Apply to clean, dry skin after a non-comedogenic moisturizer. The formula is non-greasy but contains some emollients; monitor for breakouts. Reapply every 2 hours if sweating or swimming.
Usage Tips & Best Practices
Daily Use
Use every morning as the last step in your skincare routine, before makeup. Reapply every 2 hours when exposed to sunlight, after swimming, or excessive sweating.
