Key Benefits
Maintains a Youthful-Looking Eye Area

Delivers SPF 30 protection against the damaging effects of UVA (ageing) & UVB (burning) rays, including ultra-high 5* UVA defence.

Optimised for the Delicate Eye Area

Advanced Day Eye Protect is lightweight and fragrance-free, so won't irritate or overwhelm the very delicate skin around the eyes. It also contains caffeine and hesperidin to specifically combat the look of dark circles and under eye puffiness.

Multifunctional Defence Against Ageing

As well as providing high-performance sun protection, this does-it-all formula also shields skin from the ageing effects of blue light, infrared light, air pollution and glycation (damage to collagen and elastin within the skin).

First-time use

If you're new to Advanced Day Eye Protect, we recommend a patch test at least 24 hours before first use. Learn how to patch test here.
