Key benefits

• Daily face SPF-30 — broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection.

• Brightening complex helps reduce the look of dark spots and uneven tone.
• Niacinamide supports a more even-looking complexion.
• Hydrating finish suitable for daily morning use.

Key ingredients

• Vitamin C: antioxidant that supports brightness and helps reduce the look of dark spots.
• Niacinamide: helps even out skin tone and supports the skin barrier.
• Algae extract: conditioning, hydrating support.
• Daisy extract: traditionally used in brightening skincare to support a more even complexion.

Who it's for

Anyone who wants a single morning step that delivers SPF protection alongside brightening skincare benefits — particularly suited to those concerned with dark spots, post-acne marks or uneven tone, who want a face SPF that doubles as treatment.

How to use

1. Cleanse, tone and apply your usual serum in the morning.
2. Dispense a 5p-sized amount of the SPF lotion onto the fingertips.
3. Apply evenly across the face, neck and the back of the hands — don't forget the ears and around the eyes.
4. Allow a few minutes to absorb before applying make-up.
5. Re-apply every two hours during prolonged sun exposure.
