Protect aging skin against UVA and UVB rays with the most hydrating sunscreen. Suitable for normal and dry skin.

The PCA Skin Hydrator Plus Broad Spectrum has 9.5% Octocrylene and 4.9% Octisalate which absorbs and filters UVB rays, whereas 5.4% Zinc oxide provides the broad-spectrum UV protection by reflecting, scattering and absorbing UV rays. The product also contains Caffeine, a powerful antioxidant that is capable of reducing several UV-induced free radicals.

✓ SPF 30 Broad Spectrum UVA/UVB | ✓ Hydrating Moisturiser and SPF in One | ✓ For Dry, Normal and Sensitive Skin

PCA Skin Hydrator Plus Broad Spectrum SPF 30 is what PCA Skin calls its most hydrating sunscreen formula: a daily moisturiser and SPF in one that gives SPF 30 broad spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays while deeply moisturising and replenishing the skin throughout the day. Made for dry, dehydrated, normal and sensitive skin, it is the hydrating SPF moisturiser for skin that feels soft, smooth and protected.

Three filters share the work in PCA Skin Hydrator Plus Broad Spectrum SPF 30: 5.4% zinc oxide, which reflects, scatters and absorbs UV rays, plus 9.5% octocrylene and 4.9% octisalate (ethylhexyl salicylate), which absorb and filter UVB rays; in UK labelling terms SPF 30 is high protection. Caffeine, a powerful antioxidant capable of reducing several UV-induced free radicals, adds advanced protection against environmental damage, while sodium hyaluronate, sodium PCA, glycerin, betaine and tremella mushroom extract supply the hydration the formula is built around. It is reef friendly, formulated without oxybenzone and octinoxate.

Becci's clients with dry skin often confess they have given up on sunscreen because it leaves them tight or flaky, and as a registered aesthetics nurse with more than two decades in specialist skincare and medical aesthetics, she would rather give them an honest, workable answer than a lecture. PCA Skin Hydrator Plus Broad Spectrum SPF 30 is that answer: moisturiser and SPF in one tube, so protection becomes the easiest part of the morning.

FAQS

Is PCA Skin Hydrator Plus Broad Spectrum SPF 30 good for dry skin? +

Yes - PCA Skin formulated it with powerful hydrators specifically for dry skin types and calls it its most hydrating sunscreen formula. Sodium hyaluronate, sodium PCA, glycerin and betaine keep skin moisturised through the day while the filters provide SPF 30 broad spectrum protection.

Can I use Hydrator Plus instead of my moisturiser? +

For many dry and normal skins, yes. It is designed to give hydration and sun protection in one easy step, so you can apply it after your serums in place of a separate day cream.

What is the difference between Hydrator Plus SPF 30 and Weightless Protection SPF 45? +

Hydrator Plus is the moisturising option for dry, dehydrated, normal and sensitive skin, with SPF 30. Weightless Protection is lighter and more matte, made for combination to oily and blemish-prone skin, with SPF 45. Both offer broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection.

Is PCA Skin Hydrator Plus Broad Spectrum SPF 30 suitable for sensitive skin? +

PCA Skin lists sensitive skin among the types it is made for, alongside dry, dehydrated, normal and dull skin. As with any sunscreen, patch test before regular use if your skin is reactive.

Is Hydrator Plus SPF 30 water-resistant? +

PCA Skin does not describe it as water-resistant, so reapply after swimming, sweating or towelling, and at least every two hours in the sun.

Does Hydrator Plus contain nano zinc oxide? +

Yes. The UK ingredient list shows zinc oxide (nano) at 5.4%, working alongside octocrylene (9.5%) and octisalate, listed as ethylhexyl salicylate (4.9%).

How much should I apply and when? +

Apply a generous amount to the face and neck as the last step of your morning skincare, 15 minutes before sun exposure. Using less lowers the protection significantly, so do not skimp, and reapply frequently when outdoors.

Is it reef safe? +

PCA Skin describes it as reef-safe: compliant with reef safety laws and formulated without oxybenzone and octinoxate.

Can I use PCA Skin Hydrator Plus Broad Spectrum SPF 30 during pregnancy or while breastfeeding? +

Sunscreen is generally considered suitable during pregnancy and breastfeeding. PCA Skin does not publish specific guidance, and this formula combines zinc oxide with octocrylene and octisalate, so please check with your midwife or GP before use.
