The benefits

FAQs
Good to know
Is it tinted?
Yes. It has a light, natural tint that blends into the skin for a softer, more even-looking finish. It isn't a foundation, so coverage is sheer.
How is it different from Daily Skin Defence SPF45?
Both are oil-free daily moisturisers with high UVA and UVB protection, Invisible Zinc and Vitamins B5 and E. SPF50 adds an everyday natural tint, natural botanicals and 10% Invisible Zinc that helps shield against blue light. SPF45 is untinted.
Will it leave a white cast?
The Invisible Zinc is absorbed quickly and the natural tint blends into the skin, so it wears without a white film, on its own or under make-up.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. It is recommended for all skin types, including dry, sensitive, delicate and reactive facial skin, with no added perfume.
Is it vegan?
Yes. Daily Skin Defence SPF50 is vegan, cruelty-free and gluten-free.
How do I use it?
Apply evenly and liberally to clean, dry skin as the last step of your morning routine, 15 minutes before sun exposure. Re-apply at least every 2 hours, or after towel drying. Use a water-resistant sunscreen if swimming or sweating.
Do I still need to take care in the sun?
Yes. No sunscreen gives complete protection, so don't stay too long in the sun, even while wearing SPF. Keep babies and young children out of direct sunlight, and for children under 6 months, ask a doctor.

Daily skin defence spf 50 & daily lip spf20 & eye rescue serum absolutely beautiful clean cream a little bit goes a long way and it is very weightless on your skin. Does not leave any residue and doesn’t mark clothes . perfection in a tube….
I've always used the untinted PSF45 face cream and loved it. This one has a much more liquid texture, which made it a bit easier to spread. I didn't want a very tinted product, however, this seems to have no real effect tint-wise. It comes out slightly yellowy in colour, but once applied, any kind of tint disappears. Not sure if that's good or bad!
Vert happy with this product.
This is my fourth product purchase from Elave and I am so pleased with everything.
I had a problem with peri-oral dermatitis and the intensive ointment has cleared it up!
Dermatologists favour steroid creams but this works so much better.
Love this product. Received a free tube at an allergy show, I’ve been buying it ever since! It is thick enough to make you feel protected from the elements and it is the only spf cream that I have found that doesn’t sting my eyes.
Excellent all round performance
This is amazing. Leave no white cast and masks my redness with the slight tint. Looks like my skin but better.
I've used this for the first time today, it's had a good test, as the record for the hottest May day in Ireland has just been broken!
I have been out in the sun, at a strand, so the water has reflected the sun even more, and it seems to have coped very well.
I will be using it over the next few days, to see if it always works as well.
Great spf and absorbs fast. Would recommend!
I love this product, got swayed into using a different brand but back to this, it’s the best!
Amazing product
Looking good so far. Tint coverage is very light.
I have recently bought and started using both theSPF50 andSPF45.
I can honestly say these are the best facial SPF creams I have ever used.
No unnecessary scent which would usually irritate my skin, they simply leave my face feeling hydrated yet matte and protected.
Beautiful products
Only using it for 5 days but loving it so far
Only been using this for a few days, but really like it, love the texture, totally recommend. My skin is incredibly sensitive with bouts of rosacea and it sees fine so far.
Amazing product, second time purchasing and it's what I wear year round with a little concealer.
I absolutely love this, so light on the face but feel so well protected, highly recommend!
Excellent product. Felt great sun protection. Cream easy to apply. Will purchase again & recommend. Thank you.
This has changed my life!! I have struggled to find a suncream for years that suited my face, didn’t leave me breaking out or oily or orange and this is just perfect for my Irish skin, I also think the zinc is helping my skin i!ts glowing! I’d give this 10 stars if I could !
Feels nice on the skin but would prefer more less thick
What a super face cream .I am happy to recommend it as I feel my skin is fully protected with the spf 50 and the warm tint in the cream.
A fabulous makeup and sunscreen in one. It’s light and easy to apply
A lovely light SPF that does not irritate my skin or my eyes. Very comfortable and moisturising. Goes on nicely and no cast.
Still early days, but so far, I am liking the product. No noticeable residue left on the skin, absorbs well, and the physical barrier of zinc oxide should stop the brown pigmentation returning on my forehead. The only improvement I would suggest is the packaging, particularly the screw cap which I find a bit fiddly. If this could be updated to something a little bit more user-friendly and hygienic, that would be great. Maybe an air pump design?
Ten krem z filtrem ma lekką, aksamitną konsystencję, która szybko się wchłania, nie pozostawiając białych smug ani tłustego filmu. Delikatnie brązuje i wyrównuje koloryt skóry, zapewniając naturalnie perfekcyjny wygląd bez makijażu. Idealny na co dzień!
I have being using the SPF45 moisturiser for the last couple of years and it suited my skin and gave good protection so this is just a step up including natural tint and still easy to apply with even extra protection
I love this product, it’s my go to everyday.
The tint is so natural and really blurs the skin without looking like makeup.
Lovely cream.
I have rosacea, and my skin pretty much doesn't accept anything... this one was a game changer. It moisturizes, protects from the sun and still has vitamins to help to protect my skin against external factors. I love that its tint doesn't interfere with the natural skin tone, and leaves it matte (I dont even need to use my BareMinerals powder so often anymore!) iT IS PERFECT.
Like the texture and how easily it blends in. As the other reviewer said I’d also like a bit more of a tint / coverage but other than that it’s a great product, very lightweight and doesn’t break me out like many other spfs :)
Smooth cream with a lovely soft feel when applying. Blends into skin very well. Personally would like a little bit more of a tint. Even on my very pale skin it doesn't hide very minor blemishes. Still worth the money though.
Fab. Lovely texture.
