Immediately: better hydration, no tight skin, no white cast. 4–6 weeks: more even tone as existing sun damage stops progressing. 12 weeks: visible firmness from the 1% encapsulated copper peptide (GHK-Cu). The 60-Day Skin Promise covers the full payoff window — no results, full refund.

No. CORE includes a micro-load of iron oxide to neutralize the blue-white refractive index of zinc. Engineered to disappear on Fitzpatrick I–VI — light, medium, olive, or deep skin tones. If you see any cast, we'll refund you.

100%. Zero chalky deposit under stubble or a full beard — the formula is pass/fail on this before any batch ships. Low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid hydrates the beard-adjacent skin that most SPFs leave dry and irritated.

Yes. Mineral zinc oxide sits on the surface instead of absorbing, which dramatically reduces the risk of irritation compared to chemical filters. Fragrance-free, paraben-free, sulfate-free, silicone-free. Centella Asiatica and Allantoin are added specifically to calm redness. Eczema-prone or reactive skin should still patch-test any new product.

Most moisturizers hydrate but don't protect. Most SPFs protect but don't repair. Anti-aging serums often cost $80+ and still don't have SPF. CORE does all three in one 10-second step: SPF30 mineral protection, 1% copper peptide for active collagen rebuild, and dual-weight hyaluronic acid for surface + deep hydration. No chemical filters. No hormone disruption.

Once in the morning on clean, dry skin. Reapply every 80 minutes during water activity or heavy sweating. After swimming, towel dry first and then reapply.

60-Day Skin Promise. If CORE doesn't deliver visibly firmer, more hydrated skin in 60 days, we'll refund you in full. No returns, no questions.

Yes. All formulas are vegan and cruelty-free. No parabens, phthalates, sulfates, PEGs, silicones, or added fragrance. Reef-safe zinc.
