Alastin - Hydratint Pro Mineral SPF

Alastin HydraTint Pro Mineral Broad Spectrum SPF 36 is an all-mineral daily sunscreen with a universal tint, formulated so that it can be worn immediately after in-office treatments as well as every ordinary day. It protects against UVA and UVB rays, shields against environmental pollution, and counteracts infrared-generated free radicals.

The universal tint is the practical draw. It gives light, buildable coverage that evens tone across a wide range of skin tones and leaves no white cast, which is the usual complaint with mineral filters. Many patients wear it in place of foundation or as a primer underneath.

It also carries Alastin's TriHex Technology, so it does more than block UV. It is oil-free, fragrance-free, reef-friendly, and water-resistant for 40 minutes.

1. Apply as the final step of your morning routine, after moisturizer.
2. Use approximately a quarter teaspoon for the face alone, and more if you are including your neck and chest. Most people apply far too little sunscreen.
3. Blend evenly and allow it to set for a minute before applying makeup.
4. Reapply every two hours of sun exposure, and after swimming or sweating.

Safe to use immediately after most in-office treatments once your provider clears you. Confirm timing with your provider after ablative procedures.

Zinc Oxide (mineral UV filter): sits on the skin surface and reflects UVA and UVB rays. Well tolerated by sensitive and post-procedure skin.

TriHex Technology (Tripeptide-1 and Hexapeptide-12): supports the skin's natural clearing of damaged elastin and collagen and the production of new, healthy replacements.

Iron Oxide Pigments: provide the universal tint and add protection against visible light, which matters for melasma.

Antioxidants: help counteract infrared-generated free radicals that UV filters alone do not address.

This is one of the products our team stocks in every treatment room, because it solves a specific post-procedure problem: patients leave with sensitive, pink skin, they need real sun protection immediately, and they want to walk out looking presentable. A mineral filter is gentle enough for that skin, and the tint covers the redness.

It is equally useful for daily wear. If you are treating melasma or any pigment concern, the iron oxides matter: visible light drives melasma, and a tinted mineral sunscreen protects against it in a way that a clear chemical sunscreen does not.

SPF 36 is genuine protection when applied properly, and application is where most people fall short. Use a full quarter teaspoon on the face and reapply through the day. No sunscreen is a substitute for shade, hats, and sensible sun habits. This one you can simply buy. If you want a second opinion before you commit, call us on (650) 508-6565.
