'Anti-blemish' SPF giving sun worshippers a confidence boost
47 Skin's Daily SPF 30 is a dermatologist-approved summer essential powered by Silver Chitoderm that is non-greasy, light, and anti-bacterial. It claims to work with your skincare - not against it
Beauty and skincare experts are constantly advising us to wear SPF, every day - even on cloudy days when the sun's UV rays don't seem that high. It's because without it, our skin is exposed to harmful UVA and UVB rays, which can lead to premature ageing, dark spots and heighten the risk of skin cancer.
However, it's not always the nicest product to apply to our faces, as some sun creams can feel heavy and oily on the skin, often resulting in unwanted breakouts. But shoppers are lauding praise on 47 Skin's Daily SPF 30 cream as a dermatologist-approved summer must-have that is non-greasy and claims to help clear skin instead.
The SPF cream is powered by Silver Chitoderm, a unique ingredient clinically tested here in the UK, that claims to eliminate 99.9% of bacteria that cause breakouts, soothes visible inflammation, promotes a visibly clearer, more even complexion and locks in hydration - all while shielding from the sun's harmful UVA/UVB rays, infrared radiation and pollution.
This Silver Chitoderm, renowned for fighting breakout-causing bacteria, forms the basis of all 47 Skin products, reports the Express.
With a non-sticky, fragrance-free finish, the lightweight product is enriched with hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, allantoin and vitamin E to hydrate and soothe. The gentle formulation allows skin to glow (and stay protected) without clogging pores - something most sun-protection creams excel at - and can be worn alone or under makeup for calm, clear and healthy-looking skin. Shoppers love that it doesn't pill underneath cosmetic products either, which is always a bonus.
Shoppers can bag the 47 Skin SPF 30 with a 10% discount when they subscribe on the website. This slashes the price of the 30ml bottle from £24 to £21.60, and the larger 50ml bottle to £31.50, down from £35.
Sun lovers keen to reap all the benefits of 47 Skin's protection can pocket even more savings with the 5-Step Sun Proof Bundle (which also helps to keep skin spot-free too).
The bundle includes the brand's iconic cleanser, a silver mask, serum, daily moisturiser and the daily SPF 30 cream, and is priced at £202, down from £224, for subscribers.
Shielding skin from the sun's UV rays, especially in summer, is crucial for everyone and while 47 Skin's is a great contender for keeping skin both protected and free from blemishes, other products that pledge to keep skin safe include La Roche-Posay UVMUNE Anthelios Ultra-Light Invisible Fluid SPF50+.
Available at Lookfantastic for £16 (from £20), it's cheaper than the 47 Skin cream, but some users feel it requires frequent reapplication.
Elsewhere, BYOMA's Ultralight Face Fluid SPF50 is £15 at SpaceNK and is loved for being an ultra-lightweight sunscreen that doesn't leave behind any greasiness or white cast.
Another highly-regarded product is the Heliocare 360° Oil-Free Gel Sunscreen Protector Original SPF 50. Currently on offer at Look Fantastic for £23.25, down from £31, it provides broad-spectrum protection with a matte finish.
For beauty enthusiasts on a budget, Boots is offering the e.l.f. SKIN Suntouchable Whoa Glow SPF 30, which doubles as a primer and SPF cream. For a 50ml bottle, it's £14.
Customers who have snapped up the 47 Skin SPF 30 are sharing their positive experiences on Trustpilot. Eljee, one satisfied buyer, remarked: "This is a light and non-greasy SPF. Effective in high humidity but you do need to reapply if you sweat a lot. It feels light and great for a daily moisturiser."
Elaine, another user, wrote: "I like this as it doesn't cause my skin to break out as much as other SPFs."
Fellow shopper Ann Marie praised the product as 'a great facial sunscreen', adding: "I usually end up with outbreaks of spots when I have to use sunscreen on my face, but this continues to manage my complexion whilst providing effective sun protection."
Suzanne, on the other hand, was less enthusiastic, writing: "Love the serum and face wash. " They Had great results and lasted well. I've been using the SPF moisturiser for a month, and sadly, it doesn't suit my skin at all. It has a much thicker consistency and clogs my skin rather than soaking in."
Nonetheless, the overall consensus among buyers is that the dual benefits of the 47 Skin 30 SPF are impressive. Zoe echoed the positive response and shared her thoughts: "It's the first SPF that I've used that is anti-blemish, which is so important to me because all other SPFs clogged my skin. I used to be so self-conscious about going make-up free in summer/at the beach, and now I feel so much more confident - definitely recommend!".
The 47 Skin 30 SPF cream is available at 47 Skin.

UK households urged not to drink coffee today for important reason
The Met Office has issued an amber heat alert for parts of the UK as temperatures are expected to reach 34C in southern England. The hot weather could make it difficult for Brits to get a good night's sleep As the UK braces for a blistering heatwave, Brits are being warned to prepare for potentially record-breaking temperatures. The mercury in southern England is set to soar to a sizzling 34C on Monday, June 30, which could make it the hottest day of the year so far. Amber heat alerts have been issued until Tuesday evening across southern, western and eastern England, with warnings of an increased risk of death, particularly among those aged over 65. As temperatures rise, getting a good night's sleep can become increasingly difficult, with overnight temperatures in southern England expected to remain at a stifling 20C. For those struggling to sleep in the sweltering conditions, reaching for a caffeine boost may seem like a tempting solution. However, this could actually make things worse. On what could be the hottest day of the year, Brits are being advised to avoid coffee as the caffeine can make you feel hot and jittery, impacting your productivity. Consuming caffeine during a heatwave can also worsen dehydration due to its diuretic effect. It can increase heart rate and blood pressure, which could be harmful in hot conditions, reports the Express. Furthermore, caffeine can disrupt temperature regulation, potentially increasing the risk of heat-related illnesses such as heat exhaustion or heatstroke. Instead of reaching for a cup of coffee, Brits are being encouraged to opt for a refreshing smoothie or a glass of water. Coconut water is the ultimate thirst-quencher during a heatwave, thanks to its high potassium and electrolyte content. This refreshing beverage not only rehydrates your body but also provides a host of essential vitamins and minerals that give your immune system a much-needed boost.

The best SPF for your undereyes, face, scalp, hands and body for full protection
Metro journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission – learn more Sun protection, otherwise known as SPF, is an essential part of your skincare regime – and bodycare routine for that matter. There is the assumption that SPF should only be worn in the summer and when in direct sunlight, but that's not the case. In fact, we should wear sun protection all year round. Speaking about its importance, Skin Expert and Co-Founder of Ella & Jo, Niamh Ryan, told us at Metro HQ: 'SPF is so important as it helps protect the collagen and elastin you already have. UVA rays can break down the bonds of the building blocks in your skin, which give it its tone and bounce. Using UVA protection essentially helps maintain what you already have and helps stop the accelerated ageing process that UVA causes.' While the Skin and Wellness expert at Spa Ceylon, Shenuka Fernando, added: 'SPF helps prevent hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone caused by UV-induced melanin production. It protects the skin's natural barrier function, preventing moisture loss, dehydration, and potential damage to skin cells.' In recent times we have seen a rise in sun protection with UVA and UVB protection for specific areas of the body, such as under the eyes, the scalp, hair, and hands, as well as SPF for the face and body. But, do we need a dedicated SPF for all areas? The answer is quite simply, yes. While you can apply your face SPF close to the under eye, some products we have tried can irritate those with sensitive eyes, or cause your eyes to water and remove the protective barrier. Laura Porter, Facialist, Skincare Expert and Founder of FAB Skincare & Salons, explains: 'Each area of the body has unique characteristics that make targeted sun protection important. The skin on the face is generally more delicate and exposed than other areas, and it may also be more prone to breakouts or sensitivity, which means it benefits from SPF formulas that are lightweight, non-comedogenic and designed specifically for facial use.' There are a few specifics to look out for when shopping the best SPF for every inch of your body. Aside from a broad spectrum protection that protects against harmful UVA and UVB rays, which is typically SPF30, preferably SPF50, Laura suggests using an SPF that is 'water resistant and has antioxidant protection can be beneficial for all areas, particularly during summer or periods of extended sun exposure.' She adds: 'Across all areas, the key is consistent reapplication, typically every two hours or more often if swimming or sweating.' Without further ado, we have dived deeper into why we need specific sun protection, and recommendations to help you stay safe in the sun all summer long – and beyond. We all know SPF for the face is paramount, and is better for those with sensitive skin than using the same as on the body. Laura Porter explains: 'For the face, the best SPF is one that offers broad spectrum protection and is lightweight enough for daily wear, ideally with a non comedogenic formula that won't clog pores, especially if you have oily or acne prone skin. Gel or fluid textures often work well for most skin types. The face should also be protected with SPF 50 ideally, particularly in the summer or when outdoors for long periods.' I have used this face SPF for years because it is lightweight, breathable and deeply protective. It doesn't irritate my skin, but blends into my skin effortlessly without any white offers a high-level and full spectrum protection, while also protecting against infrared rays. With SPF50+, PA++++ and Fernblock, it is a potent antioxidant to protect against free radical damage. BUY NOW FOR £23.25 (Was £31) La Roche-Posay's Cicaplast B5 is my go-to moisturiser to hydrate my skin and repair the skin Hyalu B5 Aquagel UV Serum SPF30 delivers similar benefits, as it features vitamin B5 and hyaluronic acid which are deeply hydrating. It is also enriched with antioxidants to protect and heal the skin, as well as broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection and offers SPF30. BUY NOW FOR £39.90 Described as a 'multi-hyphenated product' as this sunscreen gel has been formulated with brightening vitamin C, soothing green tea, as well as broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection. The Sunscreen Gel offers SPF50, is lightweight, breathable, non-stick and easy to apply without any whitecast. BUY NOW FOR £27 The under eye is delicate, and can be sensitive, which is why Laura stresses applying a delicate SPF designed specifically for this area is key. She explains: 'The under eye area has the thinnest skin on the face and is particularly sensitive, so it requires a gentle sunscreen that won't cause irritation or migrate into the eyes. Opt for gentle, fragrance-free products that have been formulated specifically for sensitive skin. The under-eye area benefits from the highest level of protection due to the skin's thinness and vulnerability to damage, so using an SPF 50 is strongly recommended.' Hello Sunday has been championing to cut the VAT on SPF for the last few years, hence why it is a trusted source we turn to for sun protection. It blends biomimetic peptides with hydrolysed proteins, collagen, oatmeal prebiotics with mineral and antioxidant filters to hydrate, nourish and protect the eye area. Suitable for all skin types. BUY NOW FOR £14.50 (Was £18) We're a fan of Supergoop!'s Glowscreen SPF40 tinted serum, as well as the Bright-Eyed SPF40, which is specifically designed to apply on the under eye area. The non-nano Zinc Oxide eye cream provides SPF 40 to prevent UV damage, hyperpigmentation and signs of also protects against sun damage and the impact of blue light on the is free from parabens, as well as fragrance. BUY NOW FOR £36 Formulated with GSP-T and Q10, which work to protect from free radical damage, as well as vitamin C and E that aim to brighten and strengthen the skin. Myralys is a key ingredient that works to support and plump the eye contours for a rejuvenated look. But it is also lightweight, provides UV protection as it delivers a factor 50 barrier on the sensitive area. Buy Now There can be confusion over which products are best to protect the scalp and hair from UV protection, and if a dedicated SPF is better than a mere protective spray. Laura weighed in: 'The scalp, especially in individuals with thinning or fine hair, is highly vulnerable to sunburn, but difficult to protect using standard cream based sunscreens. On the scalp, lightweight sprays or powders with SPF are easiest to apply and less likely to weigh down the hair or leave a greasy residue. The scalp requires at least SPF 30, and using sprays or powders can make application easier without affecting your hairstyle.' But the hair protection may vary, as Laura shared: 'It can benefit from UV protection to prevent damage and colour fading, especially in those with treated or sun sensitive hair. While the hair itself doesn't burn, it can suffer from sun-induced dryness and colour fading, so using UV-protective sprays or leave-in treatments can help protect strands from sun damage, particularly for coloured or chemically treated hair.' This multifunctional hair product not only protects the scalp and hair from UV rays, while also hydrating the hair. The Sundaze Sea Spray also functions as a texturising spray, which makes this ideal for beach and pool days on inclusion of Pro Vitamin B5, castor oil and sunflower seed extract also help to condition the tresses after being fried in the sun on holiday.

The spray is easy to use, transparent and quick drying, yet doesn't leave your hair greasy when applied along the hairline. Buy Now While it is described as a protective primer to apply before styling your locks, it has other benefits too. The spray helps to detangle any knots, tame any frizz and flyaways, protect against heat damage from styling tools, as well as UV rays. It is easy to use, and pairs nicely when used alongside other SPF hair products. BUY NOW FOR £30 It's understandable why some wouldn't think to apply an SPF directly to their hands, and merely rub the remnants from their face or body sun cream on their hands. More Trending However, as the area is often exposed to the sun, and is a telltale sign of anti-ageing, it is essential to protect them as best we can. Laura shared: 'The hands are exposed daily and often washed multiple times, so they need a more resilient SPF that provides hydration while withstanding frequent contact with water. For the hands, a rich cream based SPF is ideal, offering both high protection and hydration to counteract dryness caused by frequent washing. Also look for a sunscreen that contains hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin, to combat dryness throughout the day. For the hands, SPF 30 to 50 is ideal, with reapplication throughout the day to maintain effectiveness.' The eco-conscious shopper will appreciate Supergoop's Handscreen as it claims to be reef-safe. The formula contains sea buckthorn extract, argan and meadowfoam seed oil, which are deeply hydrating for dry and cracked hands. This factor 40 sun cream delivers UVA and UVB protection without leaving your hands greasy. It is cruelty-free, as well as free from parabens, fragrance and oxybenzone.

Non-greasy SPF that's 'anti-blemish' gives clearer skin and 'more confidence'
The 47Skin Daily SPF 30 is a dermatologist-approved summer essential that is lightweight, non-greasy and antibacterial. It's designed to complement your skincare routine - not disrupt it. Beauty and skincare experts consistently emphasise the importance of wearing SPF cream, even on cloudy days when the sun's rays may seem less intense. That's because the skin remains vulnerable to harmful UVA and UVB rays, which can lead to premature ageing, dark spots and an increased risk of skin cancer. However, applying sunscreen isn't always the most enjoyable part of a skincare routine, as some formulas can feel heavy and greasy and even trigger breakouts. That's why beauty enthusiasts are raving about 47 Skin's Daily SPF 30 cream, calling it a dermatologist-approved 'summer essential' that's lightweight, non-greasy and designed to support clearer skin. The SPF cream is powered by Silver Chitoderm, a unique ingredient clinically tested in the UK, that claims to eliminate 99.9% of the bacteria that causes spots.
