Sun protection is an essential step in any skincare routine, not only for guarding skin from UV rays but also for supporting healthy, youthful-looking skin. Many skincare enthusiasts now look for multi-tasking formulas that can both protect and hydrate their skin.
Now, they can grab the Medik8 Advanced Day Ultimate Protect SPF50+ 50ml for £47.20 down from £59 from LookFantastic – saving them 20% off their purchase.
The Medik8 Advanced Day Ultimate Protect is a high-performance day cream designed to defend skin against a wide range of environmental aggressors. With SPF50+, it shields against UVA and UVB rays, blue light, infrared light, and pollution. Advanced UV filters provide reliable sun protection, while encapsulated photolyse – an enzyme derived from plankton extract – works to help reduce the visible signs of ageing caused by UV exposure.
The brand’s exclusive 360 degree environmental shield combines anxtoxidant-rich blueberry seed oil and carnosine to protect against stress, while hyaluronic acid and squalane deliver hydration and nourishment. The cream can be used as the final step in a morning skincare routine and should be applied in upward strokes to the face, neck and decolletage, and reapplied throughout the day for best results and protection.
If this SPF isn’t for everyone, shoppers could instead try the No7 Future Renew Day Cream SPF40 for £37.95 from Boots which reverses signs of skin damage, helps protect skin from UV and is dermatologist approved. Another is the Eight Hour Cream Intensive Daily Moisturiser for Face SPF15 for £37 from Elizabeth Arden which is a daily hydrating lotion that is said to leave skin feeling soft, smooth and moisturised for up to eight hours.
The Medik8 cream has been rated a high 4.7 out of 5 stars, however, on Lookfantastic’s website. One person said: “Lovely, thick, nourishing moisturiser. Keeps my skin soft and combines well with C Tetra Luxe and Clarity Peptides. Seems to work well on reducing fine lines and wrinkles and it’s reassuring to know it’s SPF50 as well.” Another wrote: “The cream really moisturizes my skin! The best cream for my dry skin. Thank you! I will order again!”
“This moisturiser applies really well and my skin feels hydrated and protected against the elements,” said another. Not everyone agreed, however, as one person said: “This is too thick to use comfortably. One pump isn’t quite enough and two is too many.”
“It doesn’t feel too greasy but makes your skin greasy throughout the day! Doesn’t seem to last long as a sunscreen,” said another.
The Medik8 Advanced Day Ultimate Protect SPF50+ 50ml is available from LookFantastic.
