FAQs
What SPF is best for melanated skin?
When choosing a daily sunscreen moisturizer, it's important to select a broad-spectrum formula with a high SPF, particularly if you have melanated skin. Our Very Necessary cream offers SPF 40, making it an excellent sunscreen lotion for face protection, preventing dark spots and photoaging with regular use.
Do I only have to wear moisturizers with SPF in the summer?
It's a common misconception that SPF is only necessary during summer months. In reality, a face moisturizer with sunscreen should be used daily, year-round. UV rays can damage your skin even on cloudy days or through window glass. Integrating a daily sunscreen moisturizer into your routine ensures continuous protection.
Why buy Very Necessary. Broad Spectrum SPF 40 Moisturizing Cream?
Choosing our sunscreen lotion for black skin means selecting a product that not only prioritizes high SPF protection but also aligns with IKNOW Skincare’s commitment to inclusivity. Our face cream with SPF is designed to meet the needs of all skin types. It supports the health and radiance of diverse skin tones while leaving no white cast.

I have used before. It makes my face fell soft and moisturized.
I Love this product! Just wish the clear lid wasnt so fragile. It cracks consistently after a week or two.
I really love this product!!!
Everything about this product is phenomenal. I recommend the plastic top be replaced with something more durable or flexible. Whenever I travel tge top always cracks in half.
Was given the Very Necessary cream as a Christmas gift some years ago and Ive been using it ever since....oh the glow!!!!
2 small suggestions .. please make travel size kits and make the clear top sturdier it breaks very easily.
Lici
Thank you for your review. Please contact our office as we may have travel kits available.

This product is so smooth on your face and wont dry your skin out.
My skin loves this moisturizer! It works immediately to moisturize. And then after a few weeks, my skin looked noticeably healthier, smooth and supple. My sisters both noticed. And now they’re buying some too. My tiny tiny complaint is about the packaging. With all 3 jars - the glass top cracks and breaks after a couple weeks. The plastic part of the top remains, so I can still seal it. And clearly the packaging hasn’t been a deterrent because I keep buying it. But it would be nice if it didn’t break.
Hi Necole
We truly appreciate your review. Very Necessary. was developed to hydrate and protect. We are sorry about the cap on your jar. We are always working on ways to improve our packaging. Thanks even more for sharing how you achieved the IKNOW GLOW!

I see a difference in just 2 days. I nice glow and it don't take much to see a difference. Not greasy.
I received this product in a gift bag from HNF. have been using it in the morning for the past few days and I do notice a difference in my skin. The moisturizer is the right consistency and the smell is not overpowering. I have added this to my morning skin care routine.
