Our unique fluorescent sunscreen formula allows users to see where they apply sunscreen with the black light contained on the packaging. Areas on your skin that appear blue are covered and areas that appear a faint purple are not covered.

You can use the black light anywhere, but it is most effective inside. It is difficult to see the light in sunlight, so move inside or in the shade for maximum efficiency.

YouV sunscreen functions like any other sunscreen with or without the light. The light is an additional feature that allows you to check your sunscreen coverage when it is most convenient.

Always be sure to check the expiration date located on the tube.
