This incredible serum delivers active ingredients to the skin to enhance barrier function and delivers radiant skin that glows. Plus it smells divine! Pair with Jurlique’s hero product - Activating Water Essence+, an essential step in every skincare ritual to provide long-lasting continuous hydration. Switching a heavy foundation for a lighter tinted moisturiser as the seasons change is a must!

Zinc Oxide acts as a barrier against the sun, reflecting UV radiation away, nourishing, protecting and preventing the appearance of pesky fine lines due to all those glorious days frolicking in the sunshine.
