What It Is

A lightweight moisturizer with SPF 50 that works as a facial sunscreen and makeup primer to hydrate, prime and help protect skin in one easy step.

  • What It Does

    This 3-in-one primer, moisturizer and SPF 50 is made with antioxidant-rich Vitamin E, Moringa seed extract & Edelweiess that instantly hydrates, soothes, and comforts the skin, leaving it with a radiant, healthy-looking glow. The technology behind UV Expert combines broad spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen protection with a breathable, quickly-absorbed texture-acting as a weightless armor for your skin.
    Sun Protection: Harmful UV rays are present all year round and can penetrate through windows when you are not outside, leaving your skin vulnerable to damage caused by UV. UV Expert provides SPF 50 protection that helps prevent sunburn and decreases the risk of skin cancer & early skin aging caused by the sun*. Daily SPF protection is important for all skin tones to reduce the risk of sun damage. UV Expert helps protect skin as the #1 selling prestige SPF 50 in-sun face product**
    Weightless Texture Experience: The cooling Aquagel texture transforms into water-like gel that is highly breathable, quickly absorbed & appears invisible on skin. The moisturizer is not greasy or sticky and leaves no white residue, making it ideal as a face primer under makeup.

Amazing daily SPF that feels luxurious

I absolutely love this product. It goes on smooth, lightweight, and never feels greasy or heavy. It works beautifully as both a moisturizer and a primer, giving my skin a healthy, smooth finish while providing strong SPF protection. My makeup applies better and lasts longer when I use this, and on no-makeup days my skin still looks fresh and hydrated. It doesn’t irritate my skin, doesn’t pill, and feels truly high quality. This has become a must-have in my daily routine and is worth every penny.

Primer and moisturizer

This moisturizer is especially good to use in the summer. I live in the south, where the summer sun is intense. That is when I use this primer and moisturizer the most.

Lancôme UV expert defense

Fantastic product. I love all in one product - moisturizer, primer and UV 50. I live in FL and this product works well in hot and humid weather without build up. I’ve been using it for few years and absolutely love it. Strongly recommend for sensitive and mature skin.
