As someone with an olive complexion thanks to my Mediterranean roots, I spent years operating under the (completely misguided) assumption that I didn’t need to wear SPF every day. That, coupled with the fact that most formulas left an obvious white cast on my skin or caused my already-oily complexion to break out, meant sunscreen was never a step I particularly looked forward to. That all changed when the Emma Lewisham Sunceutical SPF landed on my desk one early summer afternoon.

Admittedly, the sleek lavender-and-silver packaging caught my attention first, but it was the formula itself that won me over. Unlike many SPFs, which can appear chalky or grey on deeper and olive skin tones, this one has a subtle rosy tint that immediately put my white-cast concerns to rest. I applied the SPF 50 as the final step in my morning skincare routine, and the lightweight cream melted into my skin quickly, leaving behind a satin finish that brightened and smoothed my complexion without feeling greasy. From the very first use, I was struck by the finish. Instantly, it gave my skin a healthy, subtly bronzed glow.
Not only does it sit beautifully under make-up—a rare feat for many SPFs I’ve tried—but what surprised me most was how often I found myself reaching for it on its own. It’s become one of those rare products that makes my skin look healthy, glowy and polished enough to skip foundation entirely. The subtle bronzed tint and satin finish do so much of the heavy lifting that all I need is a touch of concealer, a sweep of blush and I’m out the door—a dream come true for an editor who is chronically in a rush.

Of course, the skincare credentials are equally impressive. Alongside broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection, the science-backed formula is packed with active ingredients designed to support skin health over time. It includes ingredients that help mimic some of the benefits associated with retinoic acid pathways, whilst supporting collagen production and helping to maintain a smoother, firmer-looking complexion.
