Product Information
Full details
The Grüum Skyda Daily Defence SPF50 Lotion is designed for individuals seeking daily sun protection for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Its key benefit is providing broad-spectrum SPF50 protection with a lightweight, non-greasy formula that doubles as a makeup base. A minor consideration is its water-resistance, which requires reapplication after swimming or heavy sweating. This dermatologist-approved lotion offers 5* UVA and high UVB protection, is water-resistant, and enriched with Vitamin E for antioxidant benefits. It is formulated without fragrance, artificial colours, parabens, sulphates, SLS, EDTA, and petrochemicals.

FAQs
Is this product suitable for daily use?
Yes, the Grüum Skyda Daily Defence Lotion is specifically designed for daily use as part of your skincare routine.
Can I use this if I have sensitive or acne-prone skin?
Yes, this lotion is dermatologist-approved, fragrance-free, and formulated without common irritants, making it suitable for sensitive and all skin types, including acne-prone skin.
How much product should I apply?
Apply generously and evenly to all exposed skin 15 minutes before sun exposure. A common guideline is about two finger-lengths of product for the face and neck.
Does this lotion leave a white cast?
The formula is designed to be lightweight and easily absorbable, aiming to minimize white cast. However, a small amount may be visible if too much is applied. Ensure even application and allow it to sink in.
How often should I reapply it?
You should reapply at least every 2 hours, and more frequently after swimming, towel drying, or engaging in activities that cause heavy sweating.
What does '5* UVA protection' mean?
A 5-star UVA rating indicates very high protection against the aging effects of UVA rays, signifying excellent defence against premature skin aging and long-term sun damage.
Can I wear makeup over this sunscreen?
Yes, its lightweight and non-greasy formula makes it an ideal base for makeup, allowing for smooth application.
Troubleshooting
Product feels sticky or leaves a white cast
Ensure you are applying a thin, even layer and allowing it to fully absorb. Sometimes, using too much product can cause this. Try warming a small amount between your fingertips before applying.
Skin feels irritated after application
Although formulated for sensitive skin, individual reactions can occur. Discontinue use if irritation persists. Ensure your skin is clean and dry before application. Check if other products used concurrently might be causing a reaction.
Water resistance seems low
Remember that 'water-resistant' does not mean 'waterproof'. Reapply after every 40 minutes of swimming or sweating, and immediately after towel drying.
