47 Skin’s Daily SPF 30 is a dermatologist-approved summer essential powered by Silver Chitoderm that is non-greasy, light, and anti-bacterial. It claims to work with your skincare – not against it
Beauty and skincare experts are constantly advising us to wear SPF, every day – even on cloudy days when the sun’s UV rays don’t seem that high. It’s because without it, our skin is exposed to harmful UVA and UVB rays, which can lead to premature ageing, dark spots and heighten the risk of skin cancer.
However, it’s not always the nicest product to apply to our faces, as some sun creams can feel heavy and oily on the skin, often resulting in unwanted breakouts. But shoppers are lauding praise on 47 Skin’s Daily SPF 30 cream as a dermatologist-approved summer must-have that is non-greasy and claims to help clear skin instead.
The SPF cream is powered by Silver Chitoderm, a unique ingredient clinically tested here in the UK, that claims to eliminate 99.9% of bacteria that cause breakouts, soothes visible inflammation, promotes a visibly clearer, more even complexion and locks in hydration – all while shielding from the sun’s harmful UVA/UVB rays, infrared radiation and pollution.

This Silver Chitoderm, renowned for fighting breakout-causing bacteria, forms the basis of all 47 Skin products, reports the Express.
With a non-sticky, fragrance-free finish, the lightweight product is enriched with hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, allantoin and vitamin E to hydrate and soothe. The gentle formulation allows skin to glow (and stay protected) without clogging pores – something most sun-protection creams excel at – and can be worn alone or under makeup for calm, clear and healthy-looking skin. Shoppers love that it doesn’t pill underneath cosmetic products either, which is always a bonus.

Helps keep blemishes at bay whilst protecting skin from the sun.
Shoppers can bag the 47 Skin SPF 30 with a 10% discount when they subscribe on the website. This slashes the price of the 30ml bottle from £24 to £21.60, and the larger 50ml bottle to £31.50, down from £35.
Sun lovers keen to reap all the benefits of 47 Skin’s protection can pocket even more savings with the 5-Step Sun Proof Bundle (which also helps to keep skin spot-free too).
The bundle includes the brand’s iconic cleanser, a silver mask, serum, daily moisturiser and the daily SPF 30 cream, and is priced at £202, down from £224, for subscribers.
Shielding skin from the sun’s UV rays, especially in summer, is crucial for everyone and while 47 Skin’s is a great contender for keeping skin both protected and free from blemishes, other products that pledge to keep skin safe include La Roche-Posay UVMUNE Anthelios Ultra-Light Invisible Fluid SPF50+.
Available at Lookfantastic for £16 (from £20), it’s cheaper than the 47 Skin cream, but some users feel it requires frequent reapplication.
Elsewhere, BYOMA’s Ultralight Face Fluid SPF50 is £15 at SpaceNK and is loved for being an ultra-lightweight sunscreen that doesn’t leave behind any greasiness or white cast.
Another highly-regarded product is the Heliocare 360° Oil-Free Gel Sunscreen Protector Original SPF 50. Currently on offer at Look Fantastic for £23.25, down from £31, it provides broad-spectrum protection with a matte finish.
For beauty enthusiasts on a budget, Boots is offering the e.l.f. SKIN Suntouchable Whoa Glow SPF 30, which doubles as a primer and SPF cream. For a 50ml bottle, it’s £14.
Customers who have snapped up the 47 Skin SPF 30 are sharing their positive experiences on Trustpilot. Eljee, one satisfied buyer, remarked: “This is a light and non-greasy SPF. Effective in high humidity but you do need to reapply if you sweat a lot. It feels light and great for a daily moisturiser.”
Elaine, another user, wrote: “I like this as it doesn’t cause my skin to break out as much as other SPFs.”
Fellow shopper Ann Marie praised the product as ‘a great facial sunscreen’, adding: “I usually end up with outbreaks of spots when I have to use sunscreen on my face, but this continues to manage my complexion whilst providing effective sun protection.”
Suzanne, on the other hand, was less enthusiastic, writing: “Love the serum and face wash. ” They Had great results and lasted well. I’ve been using the SPF moisturiser for a month, and sadly, it doesn’t suit my skin at all. It has a much thicker consistency and clogs my skin rather than soaking in.”
Nonetheless, the overall consensus among buyers is that the dual benefits of the 47 Skin 30 SPF are impressive. Zoe echoed the positive response and shared her thoughts: “It’s the first SPF that I’ve used that is anti-blemish, which is so important to me because all other SPFs clogged my skin. I used to be so self-conscious about going make-up free in summer/at the beach, and now I feel so much more confident – definitely recommend!”.
The 47 Skin 30 SPF cream is available at 47 Skin.
