What I’ve come to expect from ESPA
This is such a lightweight cream that is easily absorbed. It will be part of my summer skin care regime.

Lovely Espa light scent, quickly absorbed, not tacky or sticky
I have an aversion to many standalone SPFs and prefer to use prodocts with a built in SPF for this reason. However in very hot weather I do like to "top up" my regular skincare with an additional SPF - this is where this little gem comes into its own. Lovely Espa-style light scent, lightweight cream with a silky touch that is easily absorbed. No white cast or chalkiness. You would not know you were wearing it. Very happy with this product. 👍

Great product
A wonderful lightweight lotion which goes on over your usual moisturiser. I love it. I have been more prone to pigmentation as I have got older but I feel protected whilst out and about thanks to the SPF50; it has made my skin feel so soft and it’s giving it a lovely dewy look. Definitely recommend for anyone of a certain age whose skin feels like it is losing some of the elasticity and freshness of youth.

Perfect for my mature, sensitive skin
I am very impressed with this product for far. I have fair, mature and sensitive skin and need a quality SPF 50 for the summer season...I think I may now have found the one!! This lotion is light and easily absorbed without feeling sticky or cloggy. I used it on top of my usual serum and moisturiser and felt that my skin was well protected and moisturised/hydrated. I did top up the lotion again after swimming. I'm not sure if that was absolutely necessary but it's just something I'm in the habit of doing to protect my sensitive skin. I like the fact that it soaks into the skin rather than just leaving a film on top, like some SPF lotions do. It has a light fragrance and a little lotion goes a long way. I would definitely recommend this to anyone needing a high level of skin protection during the hot summer months. I would also be interested in this as an SPF30 for sunny days during Spring/Autumn.

Lightweight and doesn't feel greasy
I was surprised by how lightweight this felt considering it's an SPF50 and it goes on top of your moisturiser. I've only used it for a few days so I can't say anything about how it will work over time but so far I'm impressed as I really dislike it when you can feel product on your face which I've always felt with other spf products I've used previously. I've used this on top of the 24hr balancing and the pro-optimal moisturisers and it's gone on top of both equally as well

Sunscreen
I was gifted this product by ESPA in exchange for a review. I have only been using it for one week but so far I really like it. The Protect & Brighten Daily Skin Shield SPF 50 is nice and light and absorbs easily. It adds a nice brightness to my skin and feels hydrated and protected during this warmer weather. all. This product has a nice smell. I can recommend this product and would buy it again.

Spf 50 cream
This cream smells divine, warm sunshine and citrus freshness. It is light and absorbs quickly leaving my skin feeling hydrated, smooth and left it with a dewy finish. All this with a sneaky SPF of 50. Genius!
