I love this!

Originally posted on ESPA

A lightweight, easy to wear day cream with a good level of SPF; perfect when I want to wear a little make up but need sun protection. The cream rubs in well without any hint of stickiness even on hot days. It’s exactly what I wanted and it smells great too.

Silky Soft

Originally posted on ESPA

Lovely brightening SPF moisturiser, absorbs quickly without leaving white residue. Have tried the clairns one which has similar brightening properties but my preference is this one as it feels just like a lovely moisturiser but with the benefit of SPF50.

New go-to

Originally posted on ESPA

I've found the one! It absorbs really fast and most importantly, sinks into the skin with no white cast, which is always something I struggle with! It's been a heavy and hot summer so far so I really appreciate the lightweight texture, and good moisturizing/nourishing performance - especially since I usually rely on much heavier textures to counteract my natural dry skin. Definitely my new favourite!

Great SPF

Originally posted on ESPA

It’s a really great SPF. It’s really light on the skin and feels like you’re wearing a normal moisturizer! Highly recommend if you don’t like the thick/heavy SPF creams that are usually available at other brands.

Silky spf which glides on to the skin. Doesn't pill when another product is layered on top which is fab. Will definitely be reordering.

I’m in love with this SPF! The texture is so lightweight and non-greasy and it absorbs beautifully into my skin. It gives my complexion a healthy glow and sits perfectly under makeup. I also love that it’s packed with skin-loving ingredients, so I feel like I’m getting both protection and skincare in one step. A definite must-have in my daily routine! Highly recommend.

This SPF is great!

Originally posted on ESPA

This SPF is great, it's lightweight, non-greasy, and doesn’t leave a white cast. Makeup goes on smoothly, and my skin feels radiant all day. The subtle fragrance is lovely, not overpowering. It’s the perfect SPF for everyday use and works great under makeup.

Skin feels nice & moisturised

Originally posted on ESPA

I don’t usually leave reviews but I had to this time. Been hunting for a good SPF for ages, every other one either made my skin a greasy mess or dried it out completely. This one sorts Both problems, no oily skin but still feels nice and moisturised. 100% recommend.
