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.

Also, in rotation are By Terry TEA to TAN Powder Blush (review and swatches here) and TEA to TAN Face & Body Mist & Brush (review here).

This isn’t your average sunscreen. It’s an invisible, breathable, broad-spectrum SPF 40 that sprays on like a dream and dries in a snap! Perfect for beach days, hiking trips, or just lounging in the backyard, this sun protector is designed to keep you covered without any greasy residue.

Why It’s Amazing?

First, the spray application is a game-changer! You can easily reach those tricky spots on your back, and it goes on clear, so there are no more white streaks! Plus, it’s water—and sweat-resistant for up to 80 minutes, so it’ll stick with you through swimming and sweat sessions. This also makes it great for kids.

Packed with Shiseido’s SuperVeil-UV 360™ Technology, this spray ensures even coverage, protecting your skin from every angle. The formula's antioxidant-rich botanicals help fend off damage from UV rays, which means it’s protecting you now and keeping your skin looking fabulous in the long run.

How to Use?

1. Spray Liberally: Hold the bottle 4-6 inches away and spray generously.
2. Spread Evenly: Use your hands to spread it evenly over your skin.
3. Face Application: Spray on your hands first, then apply to your face.
4. Reapply at least every 2 hours.

Handy Tips.

• Remember your ears and feet! These often-missed spots can burn just as quickly.
• Apply before heading out: Give it 15 minutes to absorb and start working fully.
• Layer it up: Don’t skimp on the product for the best protection. A thorough, even layer is critical.

My Experience.

I’ve tried my fair share of sunscreens, and this one ticks all the boxes. It’s lightweight, non-greasy, and stays put through my regular morning runs and afternoon swims. The spray's convenience makes it a staple in my beach bag and hiking kit. Plus, its hydration is a bonus for my usually sensitive skin. It's definitely a keeper!

Another essential for me is the sunscreen stick I always keep in my bag, Shiseido Clear Sunscreen Stick (review here). For base makeup, my favourites are Shiseido Revitalessence Skin Glow Primer (review here) and Shiseido Revitalessence Skin Glow Foundation (review here). The finish is so natural and glowy without looking oily or greasy.
