DIRECTIONS: Apply liberally to clean, dry hands every morning and as needed throughout the day.

Reapply after washing hands or if hands get wet.
This hand cream is more moisturizing than the original formula. What changed?
It's a new formula! We listened to customer feedback and transitioned the original RESIST Ultimate Anti-Aging Hand Cream SPF 30 formula to our Hydralight line for normal to oily skin.
Lots of customers told us that they loved the former RESIST hand cream as a facial moisturizer, but it wasn't moisturizing enough for their hands. Therefore, we now have a more emollient hand cream that still provides reliable broad-spectrum sun (and brown spot) protection and contains antioxidants to defend against signs of aging. We hope you agree this was a change for the better!
How often should I apply RESIST Ultimate Anti-Aging Hand Cream SPF 30?
As often as needed to maintain protection. Apply liberally each morning and consider taking it with you for use when you're away from home and wash your hands and/or perspire heavily. After the first application each day, you can apply an extra dab to the tops of your hands after washing them and massage in. This not only ensures ongoing sun (and brown spot) protection but also helps moisturize your hands after washing so they don't become dry again.
