But never fear, because you can combine two steps in one with the best moisturisers with SPF, whether that's a cream, gel or tinted moisturiser with SPF.

La Roche Posay's reputation as a top notch French pharmacy brand precedes it so it's no surprise that the Hyalu B5 Aqua Gel is a product that once tried, becomes a mainstay in anyone's skincare collection. The options can be confusing but the main difference between SPF moisturisers and sun cream is in their ingredients and the protection they offer. Protect and hydrate with La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Aquagel SPF 30, an intensely hydrating gel for supple, radiant skin with a healthy glow.And don't forget that health experts also recommend reapplying suncream every two hours of exposure, no matter your skin type. So, if you're staying in the sun for a prolonged period of time it's better to apply sunscreen with high SPF. What SPF should I use on my face? Transform the way you protect your skin with La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Aquagel SPF 30 30ml. This lightweight serum formula applies like a gel and protects skin against UVA and UVB rays, while leaving skin with a healthy and hydrated glow.

Quench your complexion and give it much-needed UV protection with La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 AquaGel, a lightweight daily moisturiser for all skin types, which offers SPF30 defence for healthy, radiant skin.’’ - Kate, Escentual Beauty Team. It doesn't leave a white cast like some suncreams can, and is suitable for all skin types including sensitive and oily. In an age when our phones are also our wallet, watch and GPS, I expect intelligent, multitasking efficiency from everyday skincare as well; especially SPF. And today’s best creams, make-up and sprays do double duty – providing skin-enhancing benefits alongside sun protection. As dermatologist Dr Beibei du Harper explains: "Any product with SPF will provide some degree of protection against UV radiation which contributes to skin cancer, sun damage and skin ageing.What advantage it has over a sunscreen mist is the additional skincare elements, that of hydration and skin-strengthening, those we can get on board with. Pic: La Roche-Posay new Hyalu B5 Aquagel SPF30 Something I really dislike about this product is how strong the scent is. It's not an unpleasant scent but I do find it too strong for my face. I wish it was much more subtle. It comes in a squeezy tube with a pump, making it easy to regulate how much product you're putting on your skin and the water-based gel formula leaves skin feeling quenched and smooth. Moisturisers penetrate the skin, refreshing it by hydrating it and adding moisture, while sunscreens sit on the skin to act as a defence mechanism between your face and the sun- think of it like a blanket stopping the harmful rays from your skin.

Forget everything you thought you knew about sun protection products! This non-greasy and lightweight gel serum delivers hydration, whilst also protecting against UVA and UVB rays. We all want fast application and absorption, which is why sometimes we like the convenience of a face mist sunscreen. That's not what you get here, but saying that, the formula does absorb faster than a cream, and doesn't pill under makeup, another beauty bugbear. Inside the formula are different weights of Hyaluronic Acid fragments. What that means is the smaller molecules of HA sink deeper into the skin, the larger ones then sit closer to the skin's surface to hydrate on many levels, this is pretty great for sunscreen.

La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Aquagel SPF30 is a facial moisturizer that replenishes the skin with hydration and protects it at the same time. Fresh, lightweight and invisible on all skin tones, this formulation refreshes the skin by up to -3.6ºC and is suitable for all skin types. Hypoallergenic and dermatologist-tested, this moisturizer is also suitable for sensitive skin. For a lightweight, high factor moisturiser SPF then look no further than this offering from Alpha H. Make-up with SPF is not enough sun protection alone. Layer it on top of sunscreen. I like the oil-absorbing Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser Oil-Free Natural Skin Perfector SPF20 UVB/UVA/PA+++ for a shine-free matte finish.
