    "So really nice one to have on hand for daily use or post-procedure. I can't emphasize the importance of putting on sunscreen post-procedure because we know procedures make your skin more sensitive, compromise your barrier, that can trigger hyperpigmentation. And if that's what you're trying to treat or if you're prone to hyperpigmentation, then finding a good sunscreen post-procedure is really important. [...] This one I've really been loving because I use it on my skin post-procedure."

    "This was something I had had an idea about but man EltaMD you beat me to it and you rocked this formula. This is their UV Skin Recovery SPF 50 Red Color Correcting Face Sunscreen. So often when formulating skin care with red skin in mind, we think about using green tones to kind of cancel that out. But I have found that a lot of green products are like too much and they make the complexion look dull or gray or muddy. But they have like just the right amount of green in here."
