With daily sun protection being non-negotiable (especially living in Nantes), I'm always on the hunt for something that does it all without feeling heavy. Enter By Terry UV Base Daily Care SPF 50—a lightweight gem that hydrates, protects, and preps for makeup, all with a clean, fragrance-free formula that feels as refreshing as a morning breeze.

What’s in the Tube?
This isn’t just another sunscreen. It’s a gel-cream hybrid that offers intense 24-hour hydration thanks to hyaluronic acid, brightens and refines skin texture with niacinamide, and includes an Adéno-Vit complex (adenosine + vitamin E) for anti-aging and antioxidant protection. All topped off with broad-spectrum SPF 50 for serious UV defense.
Why It Feels Special
First, the texture—light as air and completely transparent. There’s no white cast, no greasy residue, and absolutely no pilling, even under makeup. It melts right in, leaving skin hydrated, smooth, and ready for foundation.
Its finish? A soft-focus glow that doesn’t scream “sunscreen” but whispers “healthy, dewed perfection.” Users report up to 43 % more hydration after just an hour, and clinical tests show a 22 % reduction in dark spots and 14 % fewer fine lines after 28 days of use.

How It Holds Up in Real Life
Once, I applied it on a rushed morning—no moisturizer underneath, no foundation over it. Halfway through the day, my skin still felt plump and fresh, not shiny or dry. I even skipped naps without it looking cakey. That soft-focus glow really sticks around. And when I layer my makeup over By Terry UV Base Daily Care SPF 50, things blend seamlessly and stay put.
My Final Thoughts
By Terry UV Base feels like a skincare product masquerading as a sunscreen and primer. It doesn’t just protect—it nourishes, blurs, and preps your skin in one effortless stroke. If you want a daily SPF that doubles as your morning glow-maker and is invisible under makeup, By Terry UV Base Daily Care SPF 50 is worth the splurge.
