Sun Damage & Protection

Can I use Daycream Defence Repair SPF 50 as my only moisturiser?

Updated 1. January 2024

Immediate Answer: Yes. It's formulated as a full moisturiser with SPF protection built in—not an SPF product with moisturising as an afterthought. The hyaluronic acid and argan oil provide genuine hydration, not just a temporary film.

The Science: Many SPF products sit on top of the skin without actually moisturising. Daycream Defence Repair SPF 50 contains hyaluronic acid (humectant that helps draw moisture into the skin) plus argan oil (an emollient that participates in locking in moisture). This two-layer hydration approach means you don't need a separate moisturiser underneath.

For very dry skin in harsh winter climates, you might want to layer a hydrating serum underneath (like Power Glow Serum) for extra moisture—but for most skin types, the daycream alone is sufficient.

How to Apply:

  1. Cleanse with Gentle Cleansing Foam
  2. Apply any morning serums and wait 1-2 minutes
  3. Apply 2-4 pumps of Daycream Defence Repair SPF 50 to face, neck, and décolletage
  4. Wait 20 minutes before prolonged sun exposure

Pro Tip: Using fewer products in the morning actually improves SPF performance. Every layer you add between your skin and the SPF can dilute protection. Keeping your morning routine simple—cleanser, serum, daycream—is both better for your skin and easier to maintain.
