A beautifully light SPF that really delivers
I was kindly gifted this product by ESPA in exchange for an honest review, and I’ve been genuinely impressed. The Protect & Brighten Daily Skin Shield SPF 50 is a beautiful addition to my morning skincare routine — light, non-greasy, and it sinks in effortlessly without leaving a white cast. It sits perfectly under makeup (or on bare skin), giving a soft, natural finish with just the slightest healthy glow — no shine or stickiness. My skin feels hydrated and protected, even during these hotter days, and I love knowing I’m shielding it with SPF 50 without any heaviness. As someone with sensitive skin that sometimes reacts to sunscreen, this has been a pleasant surprise — no irritation at all. It also has that signature gentle ESPA scent, which I find calming and luxurious without being overpowering. A real skin treat with added peace of mind — I’ll definitely continue using it!
