SPF 50 PA++++ Sunscreen Primer
Do I really need sunscreen every day, even indoors?
Yes. UVA rays penetrate glass and cloud cover, causing skin aging, pigmentation, and long-term damage even when you're indoors or in a car. Daily SPF is non-negotiable.
What does PA++++ mean?
PA refers to protection against UVA rays. PA++++ is the highest rating available, offering maximum protection against the rays responsible for tanning, pigmentation, and premature aging.
How is this different from a regular sunscreen?
Most sunscreens leave a greasy, white residue. Doris & Co. SPF 50 combines broad spectrum sun protection with a Silicon Crosspolymer Blend for a smooth, matte, primer-like finish, no white cast, no stickiness.
How long does the SPF protection last?
Powered by Demacryl, our formula delivers up to 8 hours of SPF longevity, significantly longer than most standard sunscreens. Reapplication is still recommended after swimming or heavy sweating.
Can I wear this under makeup?
Absolutely. The matte primer finish makes it the perfect base under foundation, BB cream, or tinted moisturizer.
Vitamin C Face Serum
Why is Vitamin C important for skin?
Vitamin C is one of the most researched skincare actives. It neutralizes free radicals caused by the sun and pollution, stimulates collagen production, fades dark spots, and brightens overall skin tone over consistent use.
What form of Vitamin C do you use and why?
We use 5% Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, one of the most stable and skin-friendly forms of Vitamin C. Unlike L-Ascorbic Acid, it doesn't oxidize quickly, meaning it stays effective throughout its shelf life and is gentler on sensitive skin.
How long before I see results?
Most users notice brighter, more even skin within 3 to 4 weeks of daily use. For stubborn dark spots and hyperpigmentation, 6 to 8 weeks of consistent use deliver the most visible results.
Can I use this with other actives like Niacinamide?
Yes. Our serum already contains Niacinamide, which works synergistically with Vitamin C to brighten skin, reduce inflammation, and improve texture, so you get a multi-active formula in a single step.
Should I use Vitamin C in the morning or at night?
Both work, but morning use is ideal. Vitamin C's antioxidant properties help defend skin against daily UV and pollution damage throughout the day. Always follow with SPF.
Underarm Roll-On
Why do underarms get dark?
Darkening of the underarms is caused by friction, shaving, deodorant buildup, hormonal changes, and post-inflammatory pigmentation. It's extremely common and completely treatable with the right activities.
How does your roll-on help with whitening?
Our formula contains Clair Blanch, a multifunctional whitening complex that targets melanin production and existing pigmentation in the underarm area, working gradually to restore an even skin tone.
What makes this better than regular deodorants?
Most deodorants rely on aluminum compounds to block sweat. Ours uses Sensidin DO for 24-hour odor protection and Lipacide C8G for antimicrobial action without aluminum, paraben, halogen, or formaldehyde. It protects without compromising skin health.
What are AHAs, and why are they in a deodorant?
AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) gently exfoliate the skin surface, removing dead cells, reducing pigmentation, and keeping the underarm area smooth. Our 5% ACB Fruit Mix is derived entirely from natural fruit sources, bilberry, sugarcane, orange, lemon, and sugar maple, making it effective yet gentle.
Is it safe for daily use?
Yes. The formula is non-sticky, non-greasy, and gentle enough for everyday application, even on sensitive underarm skin.
