LAURA GELLER NEW YORK Better Than 'Block Serum Foundation SPF 50+ — 02 Light, Lightweight Hydrating Buildable Coverage

Better Than 'Block is a lightweight, skincare-infused serum foundation with SPF 50+ that delivers buildable light-to-medium coverage and hydration without settling into fine lines.

Designed with mature and sensitive skin in mind, this LAURA GELLER NEW YORK foundation combines cosmetic coverage, broad-spectrum sun protection, and nourishing actives in one step. The formula features niacinamide, vitamins B5 and E, and antioxidant-rich oils to support skin texture and luminosity while providing daily UVA/UVB defense. The result is a natural, dewy finish that layers easily and stays comfortable throughout the day.

How does this foundation protect skin while providing coverage?

Better Than 'Block includes built-in broad-spectrum SPF 50+, which removes the need for a separate sunscreen step under makeup. The SPF filters shield against UVA and UVB rays while the serum foundation evens tone and blurs imperfections for a polished, protected look.

• Broad-spectrum SPF 50+ integrated into the foundation
• Light-to-medium, buildable coverage for daily wear
• Reduces steps: coverage and sun protection in one product
• Formulated to sit smoothly on mature skin without creasing

Will this foundation help hydrate and improve the appearance of mature skin?

The formula combines hydrating emollients and active ingredients that work while you wear it, promoting a healthier-looking surface without heavy makeup feel. Niacinamide helps even skin tone, Vitamin B5 supports softness and plumpness, and Vitamin E plus botanical oils add antioxidant support and moisture.

• Niacinamide for brighter, more even-looking skin tone
• Vitamin B5 to enhance softness and a plumped appearance
• Vitamin E and oils (sunflower, rosehip, grape seed) for hydration and glow
• Fragrance-free, lightweight serum texture that won’t cake

How do I achieve the best coverage and finish with this serum foundation?

Apply a small amount and build where you need more coverage—cheeks and center of the face usually require less product. The serum texture blends easily with fingers, sponge, or brush and layers without flaking or settling into fine lines, so you can customize finish from natural to more polished.

• Start with a pea-sized amount and blend outward
• Use a damp sponge for sheer, dewy finish; brush for more coverage
• Layer thinly rather than applying one heavy coat
• Set sparingly if you prefer a matte finish; otherwise leave luminous

Is this suitable for sensitive or 40+ skin?

Yes—LAURA GELLER NEW YORK formulated Better Than 'Block with mature and sensitive skin considerations, prioritizing hydration and minimal irritation. The fragrance-free, serum-light formula aims to be gentle while delivering skincare benefits alongside cosmetic coverage.

• Fragrance-free to reduce irritation risk
• Serum texture that won’t emphasize fine lines or pores
• Specifically developed with women 40+ in mind
• Non-comedogenic feel for daily, comfortable wear

Who this is for: Better Than 'Block is ideal for anyone seeking a simplified morning routine—women over 40, sensitive-skin users, or those who want reliable SPF built into their makeup. If you prefer lightweight, hydrating coverage that protects against sun exposure and enhances skin’s radiance without heavy makeup, this LAURA GELLER NEW YORK serum foundation is formulated for you.
