Australian sunscreen brand, Ultra Violette, has changed the game when it comes to SPF in this country. All of our preconceived ideas about sunscreen — that it’s thick, gloopy and oily — were thrown out the window when we first tried the Ultra Violette products.
Known as ‘Skinscreen’, the Ultra Violette range caters for all skin types (sensitive, acne-prone, oily, combination, dry — you name it) and all skin tones — none of the products leaves a white cast on the skin.
The formulation of these products is much like skincare and never leaves your skin feeling greasy or weighed down with product. The Skinscreens also layer under makeup perfectly and can be incorporated into your skincare routine with little fuss. In fact, the only gripe we’ve ever had with these products is the size — we want more!
Our prayers have now been answered with the news that Ultra Violette is about to release larger sizes of their Skinscreens! From Monday, April 19, you’ll be able to buy Supreme Screen, Clean Screen and Lean Screen in 75ml tubes, so you won’t run out as quickly. The current sizes available to purchase are 15ml minis or 50ml tubes, so this is *quite* the size increase.
If you’re new to the world of Ultra Violette, let us introduce you. For those with sensitive or acne-prone skin, meet Clean Screen SPF 30 ($47 for 75ml). This fragrance-free sunscreen is extremely gentle, has a lightweight gel texture and gives you a natural finish.
If you’re in need of a little hydration boost, Supreme Screen SPF 50+ ($49 for 75ml) is your girl. This product is basically a moisturiser, SPF and primer rolled into one product. Lean Screen SPF 50+ ($49 for 75ml), on the other hand, is a zinc-only mineral SPF that doesn’t feel heavy and leaves a matte finish.
