At the launch of Zelens’ Daily Defence Sunscreen SPF 30, creator Dr. Marko Lens echoed the (now immortal) words of Baz Luhrmann; “If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it.” And if you’re going to choose one, this protective-cum-reparative formula is a failsafe option.

Providing everyday broad spectrum protection, ‘Daily Defence’ is the product of years of intensive research into the impact of UVA and UVB rays on skin cell behaviour. Boosted with micro-encapsulation technology and a wealth of antioxidants, its ultra-lightweight, velvety formula creates a skin-friendly barrier against the ravages wrought via UV exposure, without exacerbating sensitivity or allergies. Totally photo-stable (meaning the UV filters won’t degrade with exposure to sunlight), it leaves no pore-clogging residue — instead, it hydrates and helps counteract the epidermal thinning that takes place as we grow older, thanks to skin-plumping Hyaluronic Acid. In short: it’s a brilliant daily moisturiser and base for make up – delivering super-charged skin benefits without any chalkiness. Where do we sign up?

Apply in the morning to face and neck, use as a last step in your daily skincare regime. Can be used alone or under make up.

The brainchild of expert Dr. Marko Lens — a leading plastic surgeon and internationally renowned authority in the field of skin ageing and skin cancer — each and every Zelens product is rigorously trialled and tested, until the exact balance of ingredients is established to deliver proven, visible results. Case in point: the Daily Defence Sunscreen SPF50 — a velvet-touch formula boosted with the brand’s micro-encapsulation technology to provide maximum sun protection while repairing the skin barrier at the same time. The effects? A smooth, plump — and safe(!) complexion.
