No, it does not contain SPF. And here’s why! As a rule, sunscreen is meant to sit on the skin to act as a defense between your face and the sun. It's generally not meant to penetrate the skin, because it's supposed to block out all harmful UV rays. Moisturizers, on the other hand, are the opposite; their very purpose is to penetrate the skin, adding moisture and actives to deeper skin layers.

Proper solar protection requires a specific amount of SPF in order for it to be effective, leaving little room for other active ingredients in a formula. Most importantly, when exposed to air and light, sunscreen becomes ineffective after a short period of time (about 90 minutes max). You need to reapply it when your skin is exposed to the sun.

The best way to treat your skin is to put on a hydrating moisturizer such as the Balancing Facial Cream first, then apply an SPF 30 or more each morning and reapply throughout the day.
