What it is
the daily spf and the tinted spf together. Same filter system, two finishes, because the reason people skip sunscreen is usually the finish rather than the principle.
One lives in the bathroom, one lives in the bag.

Where it sits on the ramp
Five flood bands, F-100 to F-500, by how dilute the formula is.
F-400
Potent non-copper treats, and every SPF.
How to use it
- 01Use the three in order: treat, support, protect.
- 02Use it in the morning.
- 03Introduce one new active at a time, so an irritation has one obvious cause.
What’s inside
Every active, and what it is doing there.
The number on the bottle is a position on a scale. This is what sits behind it.
-
ACTIVE
SPF 50, hybrid filters
Mineral and organic filters together, for SPF 50 without the cast a mineral-only formula leaves.
This is the active we formulate around. The complete INCI list is being added to every product page.

The difference
Why ANNEAL is different
Every line below is something you can check on the label or the page before you buy. None of it is a claim about how well the product works.

| A position on one scale, printed on the bottle | Yes | A name and a claim, with no system behind it |
| Layering conflicts printed on the product page | Yes | Rarely mentioned before checkout |
| Volume and price per millilitre both stated | Yes | Volume often left off the label |
| The range is capped at eight and stays eight | Yes | Extended into new SKUs each season |
| No promo code, spend ladder or seasonal sale | Yes | At least one running, most of the year |

Bought together it is a meaningful saving and I use both — tinted for work, untinted at the weekend. Sensible bundle rather than a made-up one.

The right way to buy these
I keep the tinted in my bag and the plain one at home.
4.0
Good value. I do use the untinted much faster than the tinted so a two-untinted option would suit me better.
5.0
Two SPFs I was going to buy anyway
No notes.

Arrived well packed, both full size, no gimmicks.

Questions
Frequently asked
Common questions about the shield duo
What does the colour on the bottle mean?
It is the dose. Every product floods one of five steps of the same blue: the palest is the cleansers, where water does the work, and full-strength cupric is reserved for the four copper products. A product cannot change band because of a season or a repackage.
Why is copper limited to four products?
Because a flagship that can be extended forever is not a flagship. GHK-Cu at full dose is the most expensive thing we make and it stays on the face, in four products. If we launch a fifth copper SKU, we will have changed our minds in public rather than quietly.
Do you publish the percentages?
On every product, in the first chapter of the page, before any claim is made about it. Where a formula is a blend rather than a single active, the page shows the blend instead of inventing a headline number.
How do I know what not to layer?
It is printed in the how-to-use block on each product, not buried in an FAQ. The short version: copper peptides and direct acids do not go on together, and a retinal night is followed by SPF in the morning.
Where do I start?
The copper protocol — the blue serum, the barrier cream and the daily spf. Treat, repair-adjacent support, and protection, which is the whole argument of the system in three steps.
Before you buy
The number is a position, not a grade.
Every active at the percentage it is used at, and what not to layer it with — stated before any claim is made about it.
