Luxury oil-based SPF 50 with antioxidants to protect, nourish & glow
The AUTEUR Definitive Sun Drops SPF 50 offers high-performance broad-spectrum sun protection in a refined oil-texture that glides on the skin and delivers a radiant finish. This nourishing treatment blends modern UV filters with a Tocopherol (vitamin E) complex, pink algae extract and jojoba seed oil to guard against sun-induced damage, photo-wrinkles and pigmentation. Its unique vehicle allows it to act both as your daily SPF and as a skin-conditioning oil—especially well-suited to those seeking skincare benefits beyond protection. With this formula you get the essential shield of SPF 50 alongside luxe skin care ingredients for a more resilient, luminous complexion.
Crafted in Germany under the high-active “Definitive” series, this oil-based shield is ideal for those focused on preventing sun-driven aging, oxidative stress and dull tone. Whether you’re exposed to direct sunlight, indoor blue-light, or urban pollution, the Tocopherol complex and pink algae extract support barrier function and combat skin stress. The jojoba seed oil delivers comfort and emollience, making this suitable even for combination or drier skin types looking for SPF that doesn’t feel chalky or heavy. The product is intended as the final morning step—protecting while also enhancing the skin’s glow and texture.
- Who it’s best for: All skin types needing high-level sun protection plus skincare benefits; ideal for mature, dry/combination or visible-ageing skin.
- What makes it different: Oil-texture SPF 50 fused with skincare-grade antioxidants and botanicals for protection + skin health.

FAQs
Can I use this while pregnant or nursing?
The brand does not provide explicit guidance; please consult your physician.
Can I use this with retinol/retinal/acid exfoliants?
Yes, you may use this in the morning alongside other actives used at night—since it’s a sun protection step, ensure you don’t layer multiple heavy actives in the same routine.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
The brand notes it is “antioxidant rich” and comfortable for daily use; if you have very reactive skin, patch test and ensure the chemical UV filters are tolerated.
How long until I see results?
This is a protective product rather than one with visible change metrics; you’ll notice a radiant finish immediately and protection over time.
Can I use it around the eyes?
The brand does not specify eye-area use; use typical caution and avoid applying too close to the eye contour unless product is tested for eye area.
People Also Ask

Yes—use daily as your morning sun protection step; reapply as needed per sun exposure and brand instructions.

Usage varies by dispensed drops and reapplication frequency; with 4 drops daily plus reapplication you might expect several weeks of use from a 1 fl oz bottle.
