UV Day Shield FAQ
-
What does SPF mean?
SPF stands for «Sun Protection Factor». In German so called LSF (Lichtschutzfaktor). The SPF refers only to the UVB (B like Burning) factor, not to the UVA (A like Aging) factor.
-
Is it suitable for skin with acne prone oily skin?
Sure, it is a super light weighted gel. It is perfectly suitable for acne prone and sensitive skin.
-
Can I use the Dr Liv Sunscreen also as a man?
Of course. Men love the sunscreen as it is super lightweight, not creasy or sticky at all. But please do not use it on the upper eyes. (watch the video how to use it above)
-
Can a teenager use the Dr Liv UV day Shield?
It is super important that you already start as a teenager to use proper UVA protection, to avoid dark spots also the one after the pimples. And of course, you want to start early a proper anti-aging skincare regime. This starts with washing your face properly with the Dr Liv Wash Foam and the UV day Shield in the morning. More is not needed.
-
If I keep the UV Day Shield in a standing position, a funny fluid comes out? Is that normal?
Yes, don’t worry. It doesn’t go bad and it does not dissolve. You just need to shake it super well before every usage.
-
If I keep the UV Day Shield in a standing position, a funny fluid comes out? Is that normal?
Yes, don’t worry. It doesn’t go bad and it does not dissolve. You just need to shake it super well before every usage.
-
Does the sunscreen reduce your vitamin D production?
Yes, it does. But why do you want to get the vitamin D from the surface of your face (4% of your body area). I rather use my arm or my leg. For the vitamin D production as both have a surface area from each 8%. This way I do not get pigmentations on my face.
-
What is the difference between SPF and LSF?
Is exactly the same. SPF is the English abbreviation (sun protection factor) for the German abbreviation LSF, i.e. sun protection factor.
-
Why is a higher SPF better than a lower one?
SPF (sun protection factor) is not a linear curve. So SPF 50 is not worse than SPF 100, it is a logarithmic curve so the UVB protection of SPF 50 and SPF100 is less than 1%, even the difference of SPF 30 and SPF 60 is about 1%.
-
A day cream with sun protection factor (SPF/SPF )15 is quite sufficient if I only go out into the fresh air for half an hour at lunchtime?
Right, in order not to get sunburn (i.e. to keep UVB out), wrong, if you want to prevent wrinkles. Because SPF or SPF factors refer only to UVB. Only recently have regulations come out in the EU and Switzerland that regulate the protection of UVA light in a "sunscreen" cream. Therefore, please pay attention to whether there is a UVA filter label on the packaging. Only then can you be sure that you are also protected against UVA, which is harmful for aging, not only outside but also in your four walls. Therefore, I have my UV Day Shield also called UV Day Shield to shield UVA and UVB.
-
My make up has an SPF of 15, is that enough?
No, you would have to apply 2mg per cm2 of make-up to achieve an SPF 15. However, this then has nothing to do with aesthetic make-up. In addition, there is still no UVA "A" (aging) protection integrated.
-
Is the Dr Liv sunscreen comedogenic?
No, it is super light weighted and perfectly suitable for people with acne prone and sensitive skin. Even men love it, as it is not creasy at all.
-
Has the Dr Liv UV Day shield been tested on animals?
No of course not! It is made in Switzerland!
-
Does the sunscreen makes my pimples?
No it is a very light gel therefore the Dr Liv UV day shield helps you to prevent your acne scars getting darker and prevents your skin from discoloration even after pimples.
-
Can I use the sunscreen while having sensitive rosacea like skin?
The question is not can you, it is more: YES YOU SHOULD use it to protect your skin for further damage and reducing its redness’s. It also contains antioxidants to protect your skin for further damage from the outside.
-
When do I use the sunscreen ideally?
Every morning after you washed your face with the Dr Liv Face Wash. You apply a sufficient amount of the UV Day shield and apply it on the entire face. Please do not use it on your eyelids. As it includes antioxidants already, you do not need an extra Vitamin C serum or any other day cream. Use the UV Day shield 365 days per year. Even if you are not going outside.
-
How often should I use the sunscreen?
100% every morning after you washed your face, even inside in your home office. As the UVA are penetrating the window. Theoretically you should reapply a sunscreen every 2 hours, but this is unfortunately not always practical.
-
Why is sunscreen so important?
UV rays are counting to the biggest aging factors. Why? The sun is consisting of a board spectrum of lights e.g. UVA and UVB rays. UVA is penetrating the windows and going deep into your skin. They are producing pigmentation, collagen loss and redness in your face.
-
Does UV light age my skin?
Yes of course. UVA A like Aging makes you the dark spots in the face, the wrinkles namely collagen loss and redness.
-
Do I need sun protection also in the shade?
Of course. UVA is coming through the window. It is always there, even trees are not protection your skin from this harmful UV sun rays. The sun is always shining otherwise we call it night.
-
Do I need the sunscreen if I'm just sitting inside in the home office?
Whether in the car or in the office, behind a pane of glass you are never protected from the UV rays. The sun consists of a large spectrum of energy. We know UVA and UVB. UVA, unlike UVB, is super energetic and therefore penetrates through the window without losing energy. UVA therefore penetrates unfiltered into the deep layers of the skin and destroys our collagen there, which becomes visible as wrinkles on the face . Unfortunately, it also comes to the destruction of other areas in the skin, which then leads to pigmentation and redness.
-
Is the UV Day Shield suitable for sensitive skin?
Oh totally. As it is a super light gel with niacinamide it stabilizes even your skinbarrier.

Best sunscreen for tropical climate
Thank you Dr Liv for making this sunscreen!
If you live in a tropical country like me, this is amazing.
The texture is super lightweight, and yet it hydrates and protects the skin so well. Unlike many other sunscreens out there, most are either too drying or too oily, especially in the hot weather at 4pm. And really, you don’t need anything else on your face.
If you are on the fence about it, please try it.
It really is the best!
Thanks so so much for giving me these beautiful comments and review. Feeling honored. thansk a lot! I am so happy that you like it.
big hugs from switzterland
yours Dr Liv ????⭐️
Wunderbar
Tolle Produkte, sehr angenehmer Duft. Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen! :)
oh das freut mich. Hat mich viel Zeit und Arbeit gekostet, einen Sonnenschutz ohn hormonaktive Filter herzustellen, der nicht klebt und dennoch gut richt ohne allergene zu haben. Er ist also auch für empfindliche Haut super..danke danke für diese tolle Rezession ?
Must have!
I usually hate any kind of sunscreen due to their stickiness and refrain from using them except when absolutely necessary but not this one. The texture is so light and smooth that I instantly fell in love with how it feels on my skin so I no longer have any excuses not to apply sunscreen every single day – even when in doors. It's become an absolute must have in my skincare routine!
great to hear that you like my UV day shield! thanks so much for this really beautiful comment! Yours Dr Liv
Überzeugt!
Schade habe ich nicht schon viel früher mit spf tragen angefangen, Pigmente schon da..
bin mit allen Dr. Liv Produkten sehr zufrieden und mit ihren Empfehlungen..
Vielen lieben Dank für den super Kommentar! Aber immer dran denken: es ist nie zu spät mit dem UV Day Schutz anzufangen. Liebe Gruesse Dr Liv
Absolut empfehlenswert!
Für mich ist das UV Day Shield ein Drei-in eins-Produkt: Pflege, Schutz, Make-up. Ich habe lange nach einem Sonnenschutz gesucht, den ich genauso gerne benutze wie eine Tagescreme, das UV Day Shield benutze ich sogar noch lieber. Ich trage die Creme direkt nach der Reinigung auf. Sie pflegt wunderbar und hinterlässt einen subtilen Glow, den ich schöner finde als jedes Make-up. Ich bin begeistert.
Best sunscreen EVER!
All of Dr Liv's products are phenomenal! The sunscreen is light and blends perfectly into the skin. And yes- it's perfect for men!
„Must have“
Endlich ein Sonnenschutz fürs Gesicht den man wirklich JEDEN Tag benutzen kann weil er so angenehm ist auf der Haut. Das Produkt ist Tagescrème und Sonnencrème in einem, eifach super!
Never without it
I am using the sunscreen from Dr Liv for quite some time now and I will never change it. The cream is really soft and light and it is perfect on the skin, leaving the skin moisturized and not oily like many other sunscreens. I will never change it! Thanks Dr Liv for this incredible product!
Dear Laura thanks so much for your lovely words. Happy to hear. It was not easy to design a sunscreen with no hormonal actives and still with a high UVA and niacinamide and antioxidants.
