Annie: That's a tough one because if what you are doing is working,
you may want to just keep doing that. If you decide to try ZincO you
would put it on after your moisturizer and you can use it in place of
your regular sunscreen. I used ZincO and loved it for two years, then
I just became intolerant to most topicals so stopped using it. It may
be worth a try for you, but I would be sure to pay attention to how
your skin reacts just in case.

Cheers!

replace sunscreen or in the summer should I use my regular sunscreen?
I hear so many great things about this product I am interested in
trying it.
