Mario Badescu Collagen Face Moisturizer SPF 15 — 2 fl oz Lightweight Day Cream for Combination & Sensitive Skin

Mario Badescu Collagen Face Moisturizer SPF 15 is a lightweight daytime cream that hydrates and provides broad‑spectrum UVA/UVB protection while supporting skin’s suppleness with collagen and cottonseed oil.

This everyday facial moisturizer is designed for combination and sensitive skin types that want a gentle, non-greasy daytime treatment with sun protection. The formula blends collagen with cottonseed oil, a source of vitamin E and essential fatty acids, to help skin look softer and smoother while shielding it from daily UV exposure. It layers well under makeup and is intended for year‑round use when a light protective moisturizer is preferred.

How does this moisturizer protect my skin during the day?

The product contains SPF 15 broad‑spectrum filters to reduce exposure to UVA and UVB rays during normal daytime activities. It is formulated to be lightweight so it can be worn alone or beneath cosmetic products without feeling heavy.

• Broad‑spectrum SPF 15 for everyday sun protection
• Light, non-greasy texture suitable under makeup
• Designed for daily reapplication every two hours if in direct sun

What key ingredients help improve skin texture?

Collagen and cottonseed oil are the headline actives: collagen helps support the appearance of firmness and smoothness while cottonseed oil adds conditioning fatty acids and antioxidant vitamin E. Together they hydrate and help skin look more supple without overwhelming sensitive complexions.

• Smoothing collagen to support a softer surface appearance
• Cottonseed oil for conditioning and antioxidant support
• Free from sulfates, phthalates and synthetic fragrances

How should I use this product for best results?

Apply this cream after cleansing and toning, covering the face while avoiding the immediate eye area. Reapply every two hours when exposed to sunlight, and after swimming or heavy perspiration; it's also compatible with makeup application.

• Use daily in the morning as the final step of skincare
• Reapply SPF every two hours in sunlight or after water exposure
• Can be worn alone or under foundation and other cosmetics

Is this suitable for sensitive or combination skin?

The formula is created with sensitive and combination skin in mind: it’s free of common irritants like synthetic fragrances and contains gentle, conditioning ingredients. Patch testing is recommended for highly reactive skin, and avoid direct contact with eyes.

• Gentle formulation tailored to combination and sensitive skin
• Cruelty‑free and made in the USA with globally sourced ingredients
• Not scented with synthetic fragrances to limit irritation risk

Who is this for: This daytime collagen moisturizer is best for people with combination or sensitive skin seeking a light, hydrating face cream that combines skin‑softening ingredients with everyday sun protection. Choose it if you want a makeup‑friendly, antioxidant‑rich lotion to smooth dry lines and maintain hydration throughout normal daily activities. For a richer overnight treatment, consider Mario Badescu’s Buttermilk or Honey Moisturizer targeted to your evening skin needs.
