Sun protection is the single most evidence-backed step in any skincare routine. But daily SPF should also be doing more for your skin, not just protecting it.

  • This lightweight moisturiser combines broad-spectrum UVA/UVB SPF30 with blue light protection (Spirulina Extract) and antioxidant defence (Ectoin) — three layers of daily protection in one product.

  • No white cast. No residue. Sits cleanly under makeup. Use every morning as the final step in your routine, over your Serum. 

  • Formulated by Dr Munir Somji, Cosmetic Surgeon and Co-Founder of the award-winning Dr MediSpa Clinics.

Stabilised Vitamin C (Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate)

A highly stable, oil-soluble Vitamin C ester released by natural skin enzymes on contact. Brightens, evens skin tone and neutralises free radical damage throughout the day.

Green Tangerine Exosomes

From Jeju Island, Korea. Support hydration and skin vitality, increasing Elastin and Hyaluronic Acid production.

Ceramide Complex

Derived from organic olive oil. Improves epidermal moisturisation and forms an effective barrier against moisture loss.

Spirulina Extract

Blue light-activated enzymes protect against digital ageing from HEV (blue light) and UV. Powers up cellular repair and restores natural firmness.

Matrixyl Synthe 6™

Stimulates the synthesis of 6 skin-rebuilding essentials. Smooths wrinkles and expression lines.

Ectoin

Protects against UVA, UVB, pollution and blue light. Soothes and regenerates stressed skin, providing long-term hydration and strengthening the barrier.

Does this leave a white cast on darker skin tones?

No. The formula uses non-mineral (chemical) UV filters that provide broad-spectrum SPF30 protection without a white cast or chalky residue, making it suitable for all skin tones.

Can I use this instead of a separate moisturiser and SPF?

Yes — that's precisely how it's designed to be used. The Ceramide Complex and Green Tangerine Exosomes provide meaningful moisturisation, making it a genuine all-in-one final morning step. 100% of trial participants confirmed skin felt hydrated, and 97% said skin felt nourished.

What is the difference between this SPF and a standard SPF moisturiser?

Most SPF moisturisers only protect. The Vitamin C Daily Defence adds three active layers on top: Stabilised Vitamin C for brightening and antioxidant defence, Spirulina Extract for blue light (HEV) protection from screens, and Ectoin — an extremolyte that stabilises cellular structures against UV, pollution and infrared radiation — making the SPF filters themselves significantly more effective.

Do I need to apply sunscreen separately on top of this?

No — this provides SPF30 broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection as its primary function. Apply as the final morning step, over your Serum.

Is this suitable for daily use under makeup?

Yes. The lightweight texture sits cleanly under makeup without pilling or leaving a residue. Multiple customer reviews specifically note it as an effective base for foundation.

Is this safe for rosacea or sensitive skin?

Yes. The formula is fragrance-free, dermatologically tested and suitable for sensitive skin. The Ectoin also helps soothe and protect skin that is stressed or reactive. It is included as the SPF step in both the Anti-Redness and Anti-Blemish Routines.

Apply daily after your Concentrate and Signature Serum to face, neck and décolleté, avoiding the eye area. Use every morning as the final step.

ACTIVE INGREDIENTS

The most photostable, skin-penetrating form of Vitamin C available — an oil-soluble ester that converts to ascorbic acid within the epidermis on contact, delivering sustained brightening and antioxidant protection that aqueous Vitamin C formulas cannot match.

A patented blue-green microalgae complex containing photolyase enzymes that are specifically activated by HEV light from screens — repairing UV and blue light-induced DNA damage in real time, providing a layer of digital ageing protection that standard SPF filters cannot.

A naturally occurring extremolyte produced by bacteria in extreme UV environments, proven to stabilise cellular membranes and protein structures against UV, IR and pollution damage — creating a biophysical shield that makes conventional SPF filters significantly more effective.
