The Skin Diary Age Defence Day Cream SPF50

The Skin Diary Age Defence – The all-in-one day cream that does more than any sunscreen by combining triple-action protection with DNA repair technology.

This isn't just another moisturiser with SPF. Developed by the same dermatologist team behind the award-winning Night Repair Therapy (including Professor Chris Griffiths OBE), Age Defence takes a completely different approach to daytime skin protection. While standard sunscreens simply block UV rays, this formula works on three levels: it shields with encapsulated broad-spectrum SPF50, actively repairs UV-induced DNA damage with two types of DNA repair enzymes, and neutralises free radical damage with a potent antioxidant complex.

The science is genuinely groundbreaking. Age Defence has been independently tested using advanced gene expression analysis by Professor Mark Birch-Machin, a leading authority in UV-induced skin damage. Results showed complete protection against the molecular pathways that cause cellular senescence (when cells stop functioning properly), inflammaging, and collagen breakdown. In short: it doesn't just prevent sunburn – it prevents the invisible damage that causes your skin to age.

Visible Results Users Love

• Complete protection against cellular senescence – prevents "retired" cells from building up
• Stops inflammaging – the chronic low-grade inflammation that accelerates skin ageing
• Prevents collagen and fibrillin breakdown – maintains skin's structural support
• 6x faster DNA recovery – DNA repair enzymes speed up your skin's natural correction process
• Lightweight, non-greasy finish that works beautifully under makeup
• All-day hydration without the heavy sunscreen feel
• Suitable for sensitive skin – no irritation despite powerful actives

Why This Beats Standard Sunscreens

• Triple-action defence = UV protection + DNA repair + antioxidant shield (most sunscreens only offer UV protection)
• Encapsulated SPF50 PA++++ = UV filters sit on skin's surface in a grid-like formation for even protection, without absorbing into skin
• Two types of DNA repair enzymes = Photolyase repairs UV damage when activated by light; UV Endonuclease boosts your skin's natural repair mechanism
• Doesn't feel like sunscreen = luxury moisturiser texture with a mood-boosting scent
• Scientifically proven = gene expression testing on 3D human skin equivalents, not just theoretical claims
• Developed by world-leading dermatologists = the same team behind Night Repair Therapy
• Prevents damage before it becomes visible = targets molecular ageing years before wrinkles appear

Best For

• Anyone serious about anti-ageing who wants maximum daily protection
• Those who struggle to find a sunscreen that feels good and works under makeup
• Skin showing signs of sun damage (age spots, uneven tone, loss of firmness)
• People who want to prevent ageing, not just treat it after the fact
• Those already using Night Repair Therapy who want complete AM/PM protection
• Sensitive skin types who need effective sun protection without irritation
