Face Sunscreens & SPF

Protect and care for your facial skin with sunscreens designed specifically for the face. Lightweight, non-greasy fluids and gels sit comfortably under makeup, with oil-control options for oily and combination skin and hydrating formulas for drier skin. Many high-SPF facial sunscreens also help guard against the visible signs of sun-related skin ageing.

Body Sunscreens

Keep your whole body protected with sun lotions, creams and sprays in a range of SPFs up to 50+. Quick-absorbing and dry-touch formulas make application easy, while water-resistant options are ideal for swimming and active days outdoors. Choose a high SPF and apply generously for reliable broad-spectrum protection.

Kids’ Suncare

Children’s skin is delicate and needs extra protection. Our kids’ suncare range includes high-SPF 50+ lotions and sprays formulated to be gentle on young, sensitive skin, including swim-and-play and once-a-day options. Always apply generously and reapply regularly, especially after swimming, towel-drying or sweating.

After-Sun Care

Soothe and rehydrate your skin after time in the sun with our after-sun lotions and gels. Cooling, moisturising formulas help calm warm skin and replenish lost moisture, keeping skin comfortable and helping to prolong your tan. Apply generously to clean skin at the end of the day.

Choosing the Right SPF

For everyday protection, dermatologists generally recommend a broad-spectrum sunscreen of at least SPF 30, and SPF 50 for higher exposure, children and sensitive skin. “Broad-spectrum” means protection against both UVA and UVB rays. Whichever you choose, apply enough, don’t miss areas like ears and the back of the neck, and reapply regularly throughout the day.

Our suncare collection features trusted sun protection brands, including Nivea Sun, La Roche-Posay Anthelios, Eucerin, Heliocare, Piz Buin, Garnier Ambre Solaire, Bondi Sands, Calypso and Beauty of Joseon.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — UV rays can damage the skin even on cloudy or cooler days, and they are present all year round, including in Ireland. The sun is typically strongest from around April to September, but daily facial SPF is a good habit in every season. Sun protection helps reduce the risk of sunburn, premature skin ageing and skin damage.

For most people, a broad-spectrum sunscreen of at least SPF 30 is recommended for everyday use, with SPF 50 or 50+ advised for strong sun, holidays, children and sensitive skin. “Broad-spectrum” means it protects against both UVA and UVB rays. The most important things are to apply enough and to reapply regularly.

As a general guide, reapply sunscreen at least every two hours, and always immediately after swimming, sweating or towel-drying, even if the product is water-resistant. Most people apply less than the recommended amount, so applying generously and topping up through the day is key to staying protected.

Babies under 6 months should be kept out of direct sunlight rather than relying on sunscreen, in line with general guidance. For older babies and children, use a high-SPF 50+ sunscreen formulated for young skin, apply generously and reapply often, and combine with shade, hats and protective clothing. If you’re unsure, ask our pharmacist.

Facial sunscreens are usually lighter, non-greasy and formulated to suit the face — often non-comedogenic and comfortable under makeup — while body sunscreens come in larger sizes for easy all-over coverage. You can use a body sunscreen on your face, but many people prefer a dedicated facial SPF for a more cosmetically elegant finish.
