Your everyday essential for protected and perfected skin.
ESPA's Protect & Brighten Daily Skin Shield SPF 50 offers scientifically proven, powerful antioxidant protection against UV, Blue Light, and Pollution. Expertly formulated, this lightweight SPF defends against the visible signs of premature aging by protecting the skin.
Our Protect & Brighten Skin Shield SPF 50 is a daily essential, helping to protect against photo-aging, UV related damage, the appearance of sun spots, uneven skin tone, lines, wrinkles, and more. Powered by effective UVA/UVB filters and potent naturals such as skin-smoothing and hydrating Hyaluronic Acid, age-defying Chinese Butterfly Blush, and skin-defending Beta Carotene.
A protective skincare hybrid, this silky fluid offers a natural glow whilst nourishing the skin. Layer over moisturiser, under makeup as a primer, or on its own for a blurring luminosity. Fast-absorbing for a radiant, dewy, and fresh finish - never greasy or leaving a white cast.
The luxurious formula gently glides over the skin for smooth and comfortable application. Suitable for all skin tones, types, and ages - including sensitive, oily, and blemish prone skin.
Why Daily SPF?

Light and breathable
Goes on beautifully, very light and glowy on the skin. My only criticism, it doesn’t smell that great. In comparison to my other Espa products I would have expected more when it came to the smell.

Daily skin shield
I love this light spf50 skin cream. I use it daily as part of my skin routine, and use it after moisturising. It’s lovely and light, non-greasy, absorbs easily and smells lovely.

Thank You Espa
Living in a hot and humid climate, sun protection is an absolute must all year round. The problem can be though, trying to find that product that doesn’t make your skin feel heavy and clogged. ESPA have come up with the goods … this product has been worth the wait … it really does work. I wear it over the Optimal Skin Pro-Moisturiser. It is light in texture and silky smooth, a little goes a long way; and, it glides on beautifully without leaving a heavy greasy feel to the skin. I shall be buying another tube very soon to make sure that I have one permanently in my cupboard.

Beautiful and light
Used this daily in the run up to my holidays and several times a day when in the south of France. The cream is light and stays put even when it gets really hot! My skin stayed bright and felt well protected from the sun.

Lovely and light
I love this facial SPF. So light making it easy to apply. Doesn’t have the sticky texture of typical sunscreen. Easily absorbed and great for under makeup. Added bonus that it smells divine.

Light, no white cast and works.
I have been using this daily now that summer has finally arrived. I wear on my face and neck and it has offered maximum protection. It goes on very light, leaves no sticky residue or white cast like other SPF 50 products I have used previously. Highly recommend it covers easily and has protected my face and décolletage area in temperatures up to 34 degrees.

Great SPF protection
A lovely SPF for the face. It doesn’t feel heavy or sticky like some others I have used. I found it to be very effective at protecting my skin.

Amazing cream
Beautiful smell as soon as you start applying, like orange but not overpowering and feels so refreshing! The texture is quite thin so it soaks in well and skin feels soft. Can go out in the sunshine knowing my face is protected!

Good every day product
I’ve been using this product for several weeks now. It is very light and non greasy. Very easy to apply and you only need a small amount. It’s great for an everyday product and gives sun protection without a heavy cream. I live by the coast and found it dud not provide a sufficient level If protection for beach and sea activities, but I’m not sure it claims to do that! So I’d recommend this product.

My new favourite SPF 50!
This new SPF 50 from ESPA is now an essential part of my daily beauty routine. It is light, not greasy, and blends perfectly with my makeup. Smells lovely and it absorbs quickly. Highly recommended!
