Shopper claims anti-ageing SPF can ‘smooth out fine lines’

Skincare experts are often highlighting the importance of protecting your complexion from harmful UV rays to help prevent sun spots and hyperpigmentation.

Wearing a minimum of SPF50 daily can contribute to delaying the ageing process and EviDenS de Beaute’s The Total Shield SPF 50 PA++++ Anti-Pollution Treatment, from £95, is a top-notch sunscreen that does more than protect skin from the sun. 

The French beauty buy is formulated to target four sun filters. With a light and non-greasy texture, this formula is enhanced with an exclusive anti-ageing ingredient – Triple Collagen – to preserve skin from the harmful effects of sunrays and pollutant particles.

Other than UVA and UVB rays, it also protects skin from infrared and blue light for complete anti-aging prevention. What sets the EviDenS de Beaute The Total Shield apart from other SPF products on the market is the La Foux Spring Water, which originated in the south of France and is known for its incredible moisturising and curative properties. 

The key ingredients include vitamin E as a powerful antioxidant, knotweed extract to boost anti-infrared, and anti-inflammatory properties to shield skin from premature signs of pollution and light-induced ageing. 

The Total Shield is best to use as the last step of your skincare so it can create a flawless canvas for makeup. With a high 4.8 out of five average rating, many reviewers said they “felt luxurious” after using it. 

One shared: “Very light texture, you need to apply only a tiny bit of the product, otherwise if you apply too much it can be a bit sticky on your skin. It is SPF 50 so great sunscreen! Packaging is very elegant and simple overall I would say it is a great product to use.”

A second penned her thoughts: “Upon opening you are greeted by a lovely smell. The product feels very soft and glides on to skin very well. My skin felt moisturised but protected at the same time. I wore it on a sunny day and it protected me very well.”

But some said they were not a fan of the scent and described The Total Shield as “older person perfume”, others mentioned the high price point might stop them from repurchasing. 

The quality does not let shoppers down though, as a customer noted: “It is not greasy, spreads and blends very well on the skin, does not burn the eyes, it is invisible on the skin and stays well all day long. Very good and can be used before makeup, leaving the skin ready. It works like a primer to smooth out lines or use after makeup thanks to its light texture allowing it to be reapplied over makeup throughout the day.”

You can get EviDenS de Beaute’s The Total Shield online or at Harrods for £95 (30ml) or £140 (50ml). Customers who shop at EviDenS de Beaute online will receive discovery samples in a pouch.
