F.A.Q's
Is this sunscreen waterproof?
Yes, Luminous Era SPF30 is water-resistant. For best results, reapply after swimming or excessive sweating.
Can it be used under makeup?
Absolutely! Our lightweight formula makes it easy to wear under makeup without clogging pores or causing breakouts.
What’s the difference between SPF 30 and SPF 50, and why is SPF 30 highly recommended for melanin-rich skin?
SPF 30 is often recommended for melanin-rich skin, providing approximately 97% UVB protection, which is sufficient for everyday use.
While SPF 50 offers slightly more protection (around 98%), the difference is minimal. Using SPF 30 encourages consistent reapplication and is generally lighter on the skin, making it comfortable for daily wear. Transitioning from SPF 50 to SPF 30 is effective for maintaining skin health without sacrificing protection.

from 17 reviewsI am triangular oily, since I started using Luminous sunscreen my face is now balances and less oily. I use it daily; morning before my run and reapply after a shower. I no longer need to powder especially on a cool to cold day. I highly recommend it.

I absolutely love luminous Era sunscreen. I have sensitive skin and most sunscreens I've used have either caused breakout or have caused some skin damage, but with luminous Era nothing... all good things. I would recommend to the next person. It's amazing

It was very easy to understand and apply to my skin routine going forward.

I absolutely love Luminous sunscreen. I’m a person who struggles with sunspots and hyperpigmentation. I have tried every sunscreen you can possibly think of. Since switching and using Luminous daily in my skin care routine, my skin has evened out, it’s dewy and glowy. And another thing I love is that, Luminous blends perfectly with my skin, it’s not oily, there’s no white cast and my eyes dont burn or become watery when I use it. I would honestly recommend every melanin rich person to try this sunscreen! It works and I am a living example of the amazing benefits of this sunscreen. Luminous is the girl that she thinks she is, try her!

I've used different sunscreens with a higher spf prior to Luminous, I've always had a problem with either residue, product felt heavy or affected my eyes and did little to nothing for my hyperpigmentation. Luminous is definitely my perfect match 👌

Since started using Luminous product my skin is radiant and glowing. Loving the product and I recommend it.

Alright, it's been a week since my purchase and 5 days since I started using Luminous, the no residue part is absolutely fun to experience especially when I'm in a race to finish up, in a few seconds the sunscreen has melted into your skin. I have zero irritations so far and my sunburn reduced incredibly this week and as soon as I get indoors, within half an hour's time my skin shade is even toned again. Definitely worth a try and worth your pocket! And the texture!!! Absolutely heavenly 🤗

! It works wonderfully on my melanin-rich skin, and the best part is that it leaves no grey spots. After trying numerous products, I've finally found one that truly works for me. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable sunscreen that embraces and enhances our beautiful skin tones!

Love how the melanin group was considered when designing this. No white residue, no odour. Just a perfect 10/10 for me.

Absolutely love this sunscreen. So perfect for my skin as it is often kissed by the sun during my long runs. Also use it for my day to day use in addition to applying it on my child to enjoy outdoor summer moments. It is thee most perfect blend for melanin sun protection.

Absolutely love it🥰It gives my skin that glow. Absorbs well and doesn’t leave a white residue like other sunscreen.
I 100% recommend it to anyone.

I must say that I have found my sun protection tool. Even applying it when I’m in a rush is no worries because the absorption is amazing. I would highly recommend Luminous-era it is long lasting and has truly protects our melanin skin texture. This is home❤️❤️

Highly recommend it for those with dry skin, no white residue it keeps your skin moisturised for long

Happy to say i have FOUND the "IT" SPF. My skin has never been happier. Have been using this SPF for about 3 weeks now and i must say its the BEST. Very thin yet moisturizing, not white cast,not oily and no fragrance. Very Satisfied 😌

This has quickly become my favorite SPF! I now use it as both a moisturizer and sunscreen because it feels so amazing on my skin. It's incredibly lightweight and absorbs beautifully, leaving no sticky residue — a huge win, especially in this humid weather. I also love how it doesn’t leave any white cast, making it perfect for everyday use. Honestly, Luminous Era SPF30 is a 10/10 for me. Highly recommended!
