Protect your mature skin from harmful rays with the best anti-ageing sunscreen

La Roche-Posay is renowned for quality skincare products and the Anthelios Age Correct Sunscreen is no exception to that. This lightweight non-greasy sunscreen combines high broad-spectrum UVA and UVB factor 50 protection with an anti-ageing formula to keep your skin looking youthful and radiant while protecting it from sun damage. It’s enriched with niacinamide to target pigmentation and brighten uneven tones, as well as hyaluronic acid to hydrate the skin, including fine lines.

Users love the way this sunscreen feels on the skin, with many describing it as silky. There are some that found it sightly pilled when worn under heavier makeup but whether you’re lounging by the poolside on your holiday or heading out and about at home, this La Roche-Posay sunscreen will
have your skin feeling fabulous.

If you're prone to oily skin, the Avène Anti-Ageing SPF50+ Face Sun Cream is a great option thanks to its non-greasy, dry-touch formula. As well as offering high factor 50 sun protection, it has anti-ageing properties including Ascofilline that helps to promote collagen production to keep skin firm and plump, as well as Pre-Tocopheryl, an antioxidant that works to protect against free radicals and environmental stressors that speed up ageing. I also love that it includes Avène's signature thermal spring water that'll help to soothe and soften the skin which is perfect for sensitive, mature skin.

The feedback for the Avène Anti-Ageing SPF50+ Face Sun Cream is glowing, with many loving its dry-touch finish which has been called a "lifesaver" for oily or combination skin. Some found that it left a white cast around the skin so you'll want to make sure you really rub it in to ensure it's absorbed completely into the skin.

Delivering high, long-lasting UVA and UVB protection with just one application, the Ultrasun SPF 30 Anti-Ageing Very Sensitive Facial Sun Cream means you can go about your day in the sunshine without worrying about reapplying constantly. It includes Ectoin which is a natural ingredient proven to prevent UVA-induced premature ageing by shielding skin cells from damage and GSP-T, a powerful antioxidant complex that protects the skin from oxidative and environmental stress. The lightweight, gentle formula absorbs quickly without leaving a sticky or greasy residue and as it’s specifically designed for sensitive skin, it means no irritation, just smooth, hydrated skin.

Users of this Ultrasun Sun Cream love its fast-absorbing formula and how it leaves their skin feeling soft and protected without clogging their pores. While they also appreciate how long-lasting it is, some wished it had a higher SPF option for extra peace of mind while out in the sunshine as it’s SPF30 protection rather than 50.

Transformulas Flawless PhotoGlow SPF30 has anti-ageing and environmental preservation properties and will leave you feeling and looking more youthful. This lightweight cream will have your skin glowing as it hydrates and nourishes the skin. As well as leaving a luminous and flawless finish, it'll help shield your skin from harmful UV rays with SPF30 protection included.

Many, including me, were initially sceptical about its bold claims, but within just two weeks of use, I was absolutely blown away. My skin looked smoother and healthier, and I received so many compliments! I also found that it sits nicely under makeup and I found my foundation applied seamlessly over it, making it a dream for daily wear. However, while I had no issues, some customers have reported frustrations with the pump dispenser, finding it tricky to use at times. But overall, the feedback is overwhelmingly positive, with users loving the radiant, youthful glow it provides.

Looking for a sunscreen that is as light as a feather and silky smooth? The Elemis Daily Defence Shield SPF could be perfect. It provides broad UVA and UVB protection while also shielding your skin from environmental pollution and high-energy visible light. It’s packed with nourishing coconut and jojoba oils which just melt on the skin to leave it hydrated and supple without feeling greasy. It also works perfectly as a lightweight base for underneath makeup for a smoother application.

The consistency of this cream is something that is praised in the reviews. Customers say it feels light on the skin and absorbs easily too. While this isn’t a scented product, it does have a slight fragrance of coconut due to the oils added which may not be to your taste if you’re after a non-scented sunscreen but many think the smell isn’t too overpowering and is quite pleasant.

Deliciously scented, hydrating and packed with skin-loving plant extracts, there’s a lot to love about the Cha Vohtz Age Defy+ Daily SPF30 Moisturiser. It offers SPF30 protection, working to keep mature skin fresh, firm and protected against sun damage while reducing the appearance of fine lines. It’s lightweight and, best of all, doesn’t leave a greasy or shiny finish. As a vegan formula with certified organic ingredients, it’s ideal for those who prefer natural, cruelty-free skincare.

I personally loved how light and refreshing this SPF moisturiser felt on my skin. It smells amazing, hydrates without feeling heavy and works beautifully under makeup – although I did find that I needed to wait around 30 minutes before applying my makeup to give it time to be fully absorbed. It’s worth it though for skin that feels hydrated without the heavy feeling that other sunscreens and moisturisers can have.

For an SPF that does more than protect from the sun, Clarins UV Plus Anti-Pollution SPF 50 not only offers high UV protection but also has added anti-ageing and pollution-fighting benefits. This multi-protection moisturising sunscreen shields against five types of pollutants, including atmospheric and indoor pollution, photo pollution, blue light and even pollen – making it a great choice for those who live in cities. Formulated with organic mango leaf extract, it’ll help boost your skin’s natural defences while hydrating and caring for the skin.

It has a lightweight, watery texture so customers appreciate that it’s not sticky and sits nicely under makeup without pilling. The only thing with the slightly more watery texture is that it was a bit too runny for some. However, customers do agree that it’s great for keeping skin smooth and soft.
