Pharmaceris S Sensi Protect Daily Protective Lotion SPF50+ Review
I tell everyone to wear SPF – especially on their face. It’s my #1 piece of skincare advice. But finding a formula you love isn’t always as cut and dry. With so many on the market, it can feel like a minefield, especially if you have sensitive skin that needs special care. Luckily, Pharmaceris has launched a new facial sunscreen (S Sensi Protect Daily Protective Lotion SPF50+) that’s perfect for delicate skin – and eyes. In this review, we’ll delve into this sun cream’s key features and benefits, helping you determine if it’s the type of SPF for the face you’ve been looking for…

The Most Important Thing About This Is
This SPF for the face is especially suited to sensitive skin. It’s part of Pharmaceris’ very tolerant ‘S’ range. This range is particularly suited to sensitive skin due to its gentle, non-irritating formulations focusing on high sun protection and skin barrier support. These products include hypoallergenic ingredients and are dermatologically tested to ensure they do not provoke skin reactions. This makes them ideal for individuals prone to sensitivity, allergies, or skin conditions like rosacea and eczema (me!), offering effective sun protection without compromising skin comfort or health.
You Will Love This If
The S Sensi Protect Daily Protective Lotion SPF50+ is ideal for anyone with sensitive skin who needs high-level sun protection . It’s perfect for those prone to irritation, redness, or allergic reactions and need a gentle formula that won’t aggravate their skin. Additionally, it’s suitable for people who spend a lot of time outdoors or have fair skin that burns easily, as it provides strong UVA and UVB protection that’s comfortable and reliable.
If sunscreens usually sting your eyes, you’ll love this! My husband is a keen cycler and runner and has struggled to find an SPF that doesn’t burn his eyes, and gave this formula his seal of approval. The lotion is eye-safe, confirmed in tests carried out by opthalmologists.
The Formula
The Sensi Protect SPF offers very high protection against UVA/UVB rays. It’s packed full of ingredients that help skin to better protect itself including antileu-DNAprotect, which helps to shield skin from UV-induced DNA damage and external aggressors, while vitamin E offers antioxidant protection. Made for sensitive skin, the sunscreen contains allantoin to soothe and regenerate the skin.
The Texture
Despite its high UV protection, this sunscreen has a very lightweight formula. It’s a lotion that absorbs very quickly and feels comfortable and hydrating.
The Finish
The SPF leaves a dry-touch finish on the skin that isn’t matte or shiny; it’s somewhere in between. The formula needs to be fully worked into the skin to avoid white cast, but it blends in quickly, especially when applied over a hydrating moisturiser.
How Should You Apply It?
SPF needs to be applied half an hour before going in the sun to ensure it’s fully absorbed. Apply a generous layer all over the face and neck (around half a teaspoon).
What’s Special About The Packaging?
It comes in a slimlime squeeze tube with a screw-top lid. The white, minimalist design is inkeeping with Pharmaceris’ house style, and like all their sunscreens has an orange box with an ‘S’ inside on its front so that it’s instantly recognisable as part of their sun range.
