We tried PAULA’S CHOICE Advanced Sun Protection SPF 50 Daily Moisturiser

“I usually like to separate out my sunscreen and moisturiser step but this really does serve up the best of both worlds! I took this on holiday and it was perfect for delivering lightweight hydration without feeling greasy or rich from the SPF — and it didn’t leave a single trace of a white cast. I don’t know if it was just the sun beating down on me but I looked a teeny bit oily as the day wore on so this might be better suited to normal or combination skin — but if you like a healthy dose of glow then, look no further.” — Nasreen, Midweight Copywriter

“If you’re anything like me and on the hunt for a hybrid formula that’s as hydrating as a moisturiser and protective as a sunscreen gets then, this is your best bet. Doing the work of both essential steps all by itself, this can’t-dew-without staple doesn’t leave skin feeling tacky or sticky. I did find that there was a slight white cast and that it took a little while to settle when I applied the recommended amount — possibly because my skin’s a little on the drier side. I would probably still layer up with a day cream as I prefer a bit more richness, even in the summer time.” — Precious, Junior Copywriter

“As a working mum who needs to keep things streamlined, this silky lotion meets my quick-and-convenient requirements with gusto. Really light and thirst-quenching, this leaves my face feeling like freshly plumped pillows — smoothing the ‘crumples’ and lending a well-rested glow (though I’m anything but rested). And, as someone notoriously negligent on the SPF front (I know I know), it’s great that this offers consistent broad-spectrum protection without the all-too-common chalkiness… or extra effort! Having my skin care cake and eating it, this works well under make up and makes me feel like I’m successfully setting my daughter an excellent skin care example: always. wear. sun cream. *drops mic*.” — Verity, Content Editor
