Clear as Day SPF50+ Dreamscreen

SPF50+ as a completely clear, untinted gel — no cast on any skin tone, and it doubles as a makeup primer. The one to own if you only own one.

A clear gel SPF50+ — untinted, so there is no cast on any skin tone and nothing to match. Dewy on application, settling to a soft-touch finish that holds makeup, which is why it gets used as a primer.

Chemical filters, broad spectrum, forty minutes water resistant. Lightly fragranced (watermelon); the fragrance-free version is the identical habit without it, and carries its own ARTG listing rather than being a relabel.

Actives: Homosalate 6% w/w, Octocrylene 6% w/w, Butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane 3% w/w, Octyl salicylate 3% w/w

Suits: Daily wear on any skin tone; under makeup as a primer.

Not for: Preferring fragrance-free — that version exists, buy it instead.
