asap moisturising daily defence spf 50+ 100ml

Love using this sunscreen everyday. Light product, especially for spf 50+. Leaves you a little shiny, but perfect under some powder or foundation. Dries quickly. Had no issues with breakouts since using this sunscreen.

This is one of my ride or die products! This moisturizer does not clog pores or leave your face feeling like its been smothered in a layer of thick sunscreen.

As a 36 year old Australian woman, I knew that I should be wearing sunscreen everyday. However, I rarely did as virtually every sunscreen I've ever tried congested my pores and caused massive cystic breakouts (even those described as non-comedogenic). I had actually used ASAP's SPF moisturiser back in 2004 (different formulation and SPF 15 or 30 back then). The old formulation was thick and sticky but I decided to try this again as the reviews were so good. My only regret is that I didn't try the Daily Defence SPF 50 sooner as it it perfect for me now!! I've now used it every morning since November 2017 without fail. I use the ASAP Super B serum underneath and find the combination of both very moisturising for my combination/acne prone skin. This doesn't clog my pores (hooray!!). I use a 20c coin amount to cover my face/eyes, neck and décolletage. It leaves a very feint cast initially, which disappears in in 5 min or so. I then put makeup on top and it lasts all day. I have also used this at the beach (in/out of water) without my face getting burnt. It doesn't sting my eyes unless I've only just applied it before going in the pool. A 100 mL tubes lasts me 6 months, so I think it's great value for such a great product.

I didn’t like this product unfortunately. It was too heavy for my combination skin and left me feeling slightly greasy. Also stung my eyes a bit. Won’t recommend

Long lasting and gentle on my skin. Doesn't leave my face feeling overly oily like a normal sunscreen.

I did an enormous amount of research looking for a cost-effective day moisturizer with physical sunscreen, so was keen to give this product a crack.
I have combination skin with redness around my nose, and currently use an oil-based vitamin c serum first (it was a free gift, I’ll use it up before returning to my powder-based vit c). This product creates a pretty greasy environment with this combination but performs better with more typical serums beneath it.

For the features that I tested it for (high physical SPF, not too heavy, okay base beneath makeup) it performs well.

The reason I won’t get it again is it stings like no product I’ve ever used if a bit gets in my eye or on broken skin / open blemish. Thus, sweaty situations like working out are difficult, and I’ve also need to develop the habit of cleansing my face before getting in the shower even if I have only applied moisturizer that day.
For me, if it wasn’t for the stinging I’d be delighted with the value of this product.

A tad greasy and I find it can block my pores. Does the job in terms of protecting my skin from the harsh qld sun and seems to wear well under makeup. I would not recommend if you are prone to breakouts.

I like to use this product first and then primer and makeup. It works great under all of that. If i use it on it’s own however it does leave my skin feeling a little greasy. It is however spf 50 so I understand why it would be a little thick and a little greasy. When i wear it under makeup i dont notice any of that. so i will continue to purchase and wear

I bought this product before fully researching it. The ingredients listed by adorebeauty.com.au is not correct. This product has Homosalate, octocrylene, methoxydibenzoylmethane, zinc Oxide, oxybenzone, phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid.
Oxybenzone, homosalate, octocreylene are chemicals that is said we shouldn't be applying to our face. Oxybenzone is a seriously toxic ingredient, and some evidence has shown that it causes cell damage which may lead to cancer.
Dissapointed I didn't do my homework before I spent the $55.

I find this sunscreen quick thick and greasy, however I appreciate that sunscreen with this level of spf is going to be thick. It goes on well, however I would wear on combination with other make up as it's too thick. I only use is when I go outside.

I have fair, sensitive combination skin. I really like the way this feels and goes on but unfortunately it makes my eyes sting even when I'm careful not to use it around my eyes. So I have some I'm using up on my neck and decollatage and then probably won't buy again.

I always find it difficult to find a moisturiser with SPF 50 that ticks all the boxes... and this one doesn’t really either. My skin is oily at the best of times, and this tends to exacerbate that a little. On cooler days, that can pass as dewy, but that’s short-lived. And it’s definitely too rich for me to wear under makeup. I’ve resorted to wearing it when I run outside, but like most sunscreens, if you sweat it off into your eyes it stiiiiiiiiings.

i am so glad i tried this.. other sunscreens either irritate my skin or cause breakouts, this one however is perfect! thank you ASAP!

Really wanted to like this sunscreen - great price point, mineral sunscreen, didn't think it has any nasty ingredients (but this site doesn't disclose a full ingredients list!)
I don't have sensitive skin and can tolerate most things but this stuff actually burns my face and leaves it red. I've tried it on and off again for several months in hope but always the same. It rubs in well with no white cast but does look oily under makeup. Really struggling to find a holy grail mineral SPF. If anyone can invent one that has no drying alcohols, aluminiums, silicones or chemical sunscreens, ,that feels comfortable, non-greasy, no white cast, doesn't sting eyes, is afforable and can sit well under makeup.... you would revolutionise the industry and make a mint!

I love this moisturiser/physical sunscreen combo. It's high SPF physical sunscreen protects against sun damage and pigmentation, and it sits well on my skin, giving it a dewy glow all day.

My beautician got me onto the ASAP brand and have not looked back. I don't find this product oily at all and has really helped to clear up my skin. Also a great base for under makeup

Very good moisturiser! I was worried the sunscreen would cause pimples, but in fact the zinc was quite healing to my skin! Love it and would recommend.

This offered good sun protection and didn’t make my skin break out. It wasn’t too thick or white when applied

Sounds dramatic but this has changed my life!! I’ve never been able to wear sunscreen on my face without breaking out. I’ve spent soooo much money on sunscreen for sensitive & breakout skin that’s all been a waste. I use this every single morning. It does make your complexion a little bit “pasty” but it is so worth it. LOVE LOVE LOVE

I have just started using the ASAP skin care range as I felt it important to invest in my skin. Such a high-quality product, so far loving how hydrated it makes my skin. The product also leaves a nice glow which is good as I like to avoid heavy make-up. It is quite a heavy cream but the benefits of the SPF 50 are completely outweighing that. I'm interested to see what this brand will do for my skin over time but I think I have found a winner.

Purchased this with my the other ASAP products and absolutely love it. You only need to use a little bit. Once you put too much yes your face will shine a bit, as I’ve read in other reviews. So use only a little bit and don’t go close to your eyes.
Gives you a nice natural glow as well and make up goes really well over it!!

I’m not really a fan of sunscreens but this one wasn’t too bad. I didn’t break out after wearing it for a few days in a row and it gave me good sun protection.

The stuff is good by itself plus it has SPF 50! However, if you have combi skin - please stop and get something lighter for your skin.

Makes me glowy and doesn't break me out, win!

I love this moisturiser. I have rosacea which means my skin can be dry but also prone to breakouts if not properly managed. I have always found it hard to find a moisturiser that balances my skin well - until I found this little gem. It is creamy without being oily or heavy on the skin. Strong enough for the drying winter months but also light enough for summer. It is perfect under my foundation and the SPF is a great bonus. I tend to buy the smaller size as it fits better in my make up kit.

Smells good, feels good. Works well under makeup to keep skin moisturised with SPF. I’ve used it every day since I got it and will definitely rebuy.

I was looking for a moisturising sunscreen as I found that my normal/combination skin was getting dry from other matte sunscreens I had used. I purchased this in the hope that it would be moisturising and yet sheer. Unfortunately, while it applies nicely, it leaves a sticky, shiny film on the skin that remains for a couple of hours after application. I found that my T-zone got pretty oily when using it, making me look kind of like a shiny mess. I definitely think that this is better for people who have normal-dry skin, as it is a good sunscreen, just a bit too rich for people who suffer from oily patches. If you don't have oily skin, this will be great for you.

I love this moisturiser as it is extremely gentle and hydrating, and it doesn’t congest my skin or make me break out which is often my biggest concern with moisturisers. I love that it has spf too, i feel like my skin texture has really improved from the extra protection and hydration. I was worried when i first started using it as it’s very thick in consistency, but it spreads out thinly. Though i have to agree with other reviews, the only downside is that is does leave an oily cast over my face (i have combo skin), sometimes so oily that i have to wipe it with something to get rid of it. However, i find that if i wear make up over the top of it, the greasiness doesn’t come through at all with a bit of setting powder. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a gentle yet effective moisturiser suitable for acne-prone skin.

I put this on my forehead and cheeks on the weekend, with no other makeup and I could definitely feel it still there at the end of the day. It is good because you know it lasts all day and does give a radiant sheen to the skin, however, with makeup over the top I suspect this could turn into a bit of a slippery mess on people with oilier skin. I have normal/combination skin.

Great spf , can leave skin very oily tho and stings quite badly when gets in eyes (like most spfs). I also find it takes quite a while to absorb into my skin. Will continue to use as is 50+ With antioxidants so is quite convenient

I live in regional Australia and really do need a good daily SPF under my makeup. I have acne prone, sensitive skin. This moisturiser provides a great barrier on the skin and works well under makeup. The SPF 50 is great for my needs. However, I don't think that it is highly moisturising. You definitely need to supplement this with a heavier cream at night to keep skin moisturised.

This sunscreen does a great job (I don't get sunburnt) and is nice and moisturising. Although it's 100ml, it's nice and compact, I work outdoors and leave it in my bag - its very convenient and effective!

I'm 23 with sensitive skin and this is a bit heavy for me. It doesn't seem to absorb well and irritates my eyes if they get watery at all. I love the idea of a high SPF moisturizer as im quite pale but with stinging eyes and a sticky face living in humid weather, I just can't wear this one.

Have been using for 2 weeks now and am very impressed. My makeup goes on and looks a lot better

I’ve used this for years and it’s not disappointed me. I have sensitive sometimes inflamed or oily skin and it’s hard to find a sun cream that doesn’t irritate. But this is a great product. I do wish it didn’t feel quite as heavy on my skin (though it’s not heavy at all really compared to other products) but that’s the sun defence factor which I need. I use it daily to moisturise and sun protect, as my daily go to.

I received a sample or this from my last order and have just started using this as I needed a new sunscreen in my skin care routine. Love that this is SPF 50! Feels great on the skin. Perfect for everyday wear, with or without makeup.

I started using this moisturizer around 2-3 months ago and haven't looked back. I have acne prone combination/Oily skin and have struggled with moisturizers in the past. It leaves my skin feeling smooth and hydrated and best of all, doesn't cause me to break out. I use it twice a day morning and night and find it's even a great moisturizer to use under my makeup. Definitely recommend!

Amazing sun protection. Love this and use it very often.

I just love the ingredients in this. I have sensitive skin and it’s a great alternative to wearing sunscreen as I’m allergic to most sunscreens. I don’t find this oily and love using, have already recommended my partner use this as he is out in the sun.

Leaves my skin smooth and hydrated, gives my face nice little glow :)

Love this! Only a small amount needed to give a great amount of moisture and softness to the skin all day long.

Great daily moisturiser, love the high SPF factor. Perfect for everyday wear

I'm in my early 30s and have been using this product for over a year and it's great. Lightweight and contains SPF. Only need the smallest amount so one bottle easily lasts 3 months. Gives the skin a nice glow but not greasy.

I received a small sample of this in one of my adore beauty orders and I literally used that sample until there was absolutely nothing left. I’ll definitely purchase the bigger tube, it’s so beautiful on the skin. I absolutely love applying this and then applying makeup on top but I love it alone too - it gives the perfect amount of moisture to the skin and it’s a plus that its spf 50! I think this is going to be one of my new favourite skin products.

Absolutely love this product, its worth the money and my skin just soaks it up! All seasons product ive been using this brand for 8 years i have tried other products but this one doesn't irritate my skin or my allergies.

The Moisturising Daily Defence is OUTSTANDING. It's beautiful and light on my skin. The perfect base before applying anything on my skin, including makeup. It is SPF 50+ which is essential throughout the year to protect skin from weather damaging and ageing.

Great SPF coverage with this moisturiser. A bit greasy however it hasn’t effected my skin as I can get quite dry throughout my cheeks. Good size tube and i find it lasts quite a long time. The only negative is that I accidentally touched my eyes after using it and they sting afterwards.

I have an oily t-zone and, while giving good sun protection, this moisturiser comes through my makeup in a very greasy way. I used it until I found dermalogica age smart and the solar defense solution, but it doesn't compare

I found this product to be a bit greasy for my liking, but it does have such a high SPF so it’s great for wearing during the day when your out and about in the sunshine.

The first time I purchased this it was in a smaller 50ml size and it was grainy, which means I probably should have returned it. But since the product blended when rubbed together and I was in desperate need of a moisturiser with SPF I kept it. That and the fact it went on smoothly and worked fine under my makeup and wasn't greasy. I didn't suffer too many oily patches after wearing it all day.
With this in mind I bought another bigger size next time. This time the moisturiser, while stable, however, it has been thoroughly disappointing. Every time I wear it the moisturiser ends up bleeding through my makeup and is very greasy. Won't be buying this again.

I found this to be fairly hydrating but couldn't really deal with the greasiness of it. It also has SPF so is not your friend when using flash photography. Something to keep in mind if you plan on using this on any big occasions.

This product is great for my sensitive skin and really leaves me feeling hydrated and moisturised. It's so smooth and definitely a new favourite.

I have tried many sunscreens for the face and this is my favourite. SPF 50 so great protection. It smoothes on easily and moisturises the skin as well as protecting it. Skin feels great and has a natural looking glow with this product on.
Love it

So I recieved a delux sample of this, which im actually glad I did. Its quite nice, great thing about it is that it protects your skin and the sun as it does have SPF. Only disadvantages would be the smell... smells very like suncreen which im not to fond of.

This moisturiser is really lightweight and non-greasy, both of which are hard to find in a product with such high sun protection. I wouldn't be without sunscreen after having skin cancer which has left me with obvious scarring after multiple surgeries, so the protection is brilliant. I also like that it's really hydrating. The smell is very 'suncreen-ish' however, and I found it a bit overpowering - just like I do with some sunscreens. However, it saves putting sunscreen on as an extra step in the morning, and because of that I think the smell is something one can learn to live with!

I think that this asap moisturiser is really hydrating for the skin, as it has a nice thick consistency. You don't need to use a lot of this product to get a nicely moisturised face. I love that it has an spf50 for daily sun protection. It comes in a great sized bottle.

Very reasonably priced daytime moisturizer with a good SPF of 50, that I find fills my requirements for an under makeup sun defense moisturizer.

I switched to this product from another and haven't looked back! My combination aging skin which is a bit dry at the moment because of winter soaks this up! It applies really well, and a little bit goes a long way making it really great value! It does leave my skin a little shiney for a little bit, but it soon settles and my skin feels lovely and hydrated - and I especially love the SPF as well which is so important to me! Makeup applies easily over the top as well.

This moisturizer is definitely hydrating, and doesn't leave my skin too oily, but it has a strange texture to it and I'm not a fan of the scent. Overall, it's not my favourite moisturizer but it does the job.

Compared to other spf products I have used I find this far too thick and greasy. Also leaves my skin looking a little white and shiny. Throughout the day it does seem to absorb better and didn’t feel greasy. It is a good price but I wish I’d splurged more for a nicer feeling face cream.

I was really disappointed with this product, I own plenty of skin care products/creams that have SPF50+ and the sunscreen smell has never been so strong until I tried this, the smell of sunscreen was so overpowering, and it felt very greasy and heavy on my skin afterwards. My skin is more sensitive since im on a skin medication, and I accidentally had gotten some of this product in my eye, my eye burned for an hour straight and was so red, I had to leave a dinner! It was really painful :(

I like the moisturising factor of this lotion and it seems to even out my skin tone and texture but it is very thick and I don't feel like it absorbs fully (and I have quite dry skin).

Leaves my skin shiny and slightly greasy and irritates my eyes (makes them water throughout the day) if I apply too close to the eye area.

I have been using this product for so many years and no other products come near it for skin protection. I have fair Celtic skin that will freckle quickly if exposed to sun be it mild or strong and I have no desire for multiple freckles on my face. ASAP protects my skin perfectly keeping freckles at bay plus as a daily morning moisturizer it’s perfect. I use it in conjunction with a 20% C&E plus ferulic acid serum prior to applying the ASAP. So I have an easy morning skin care program, cleanse, serum and finally apply SPF ASAP.
Also I have recommended this product to many friends who in the past have had allergic responses to SPF products and all have had no issues with ASAP. So if this has been your experience with SPF products I encourage you to try ASAP.

My skin is quite dry and very sensitive to redness and breakouts. This sunscreen is light and not too oily, it's also moisturising without causing breakouts. It's the perfect base underneath makeup and doesn't irritate my skin. I love it!

This feels nice on the face and the smell is minimal so its not getting into your nostrils like sunscreen does, its not thick like a sunscreen its actually quite pleasant to have on your face glides smoothly over your morning routine, doesn't feel sticky feels like a normal moisturizing cream which is quite surprising, as you might be able to tell i dont usually use products with spf in them so this was a nice change knowing i can do my daily facial routine which i have only recently started 4 months ago knowing that i can in the sun and be protected at the same time

Love this product. It's light, goes on smoothly and works a treat. I bought some for my 23 year old daughter and she's hooked, thank goodness. I'm a huge ASAP fan

Played rather oily under makeup and didn't absorb into my skin so well. No white cast, though, so that's good? Not replacing my dermalogica age defense 50+, regrettably

I have combination skin that is more on the oily side and this moisturizer has been a life saver for me! It leaves my skin feeling hydrated and dewy, and is also a GREAT base for a light foundation or even loose powder.

I have dehydrated combination skin, I needed an easy to apply sun protectant + moisturizer that didn't have a white cast like most sunscreens do out there. This sunscreen definitely acts as a moisturizer to lock in my hydration and it protects me from further sun damage. It absorbs into the skin fast and doesn't leave that overly dewy feel where you cant apply makeup on top. I love this product and I continue to purchase it. Highly reccomend!

Having combination skin I find this to be to a great daily mosturiser. Love the consistency of it and also love that it has spf in it. I like that it comes in a 100ml as most moisturisers I find come smaller and run out a lot quicker.

Love the high spf in this! I dont even use a sunscreen on top because its good enough. Sometimes this feels a little thick but it's great for winter.

This would be a great product for someone who doesn't suffer from oily skin. Putting this product on leaves me feeling greasy, then adding foundation on top of that makes my face very shiny, even with powder. I find by the end of the day my face looks oily and my makeup is coming off onto everything. It's unfortunate because I do love that it's a moisturiser and sunscreen in one so I don't have to do two steps and it has always worked against sunburn. I would still recommend but to someone with normal or dry skin.

I received this as a sample and am definitely considering buying the full size. The fact that it is spf 50 is a massive bonus, and I have this to be very moisturising but also good for my sensitive skin.

I tried this because it had the SPF 50 and I have pale and sensitive skin. Most of the moisturisers I have used with this high SPF have been greasy and not great under foundation. I would recommend this formulation though - it is great for sensitive and combination skins.

Most sunscreens leave me with massive red welts all over my face. This one however is perfect for my sensitive skin. I have had no issues at all and love how it isn't greasy under make up and doesn't leave that white film that so many 50+ do

I use this moisturiser every day. It gives great protection from the sun and my skin feels soft.

I got the cutest little sample of this and it's just gorgeous, sits so well under make up and a little goes a long way!

Such a great product for 2 in 1 use. In the morning I don't have to apply moisturiser any more because this product is so hydrating. I love how its SPF 50, because many of the other skincare SPF that I have used have only been up to 30.

I find this very thick. It sits on top of my skin and feels heavy and sticky.
My mum likes it though so many it's more for.older skin

I love that this product has Antioxidants and hyaluronic acid, It looks nice under make up and dewey on its own but I cannot put it too close to my eye area because it stings to I get SPF protection everywhere but around my eye so I will likely pick a different SPF in the future

This SPF moisturising cream leaves the skin dewy and glowing. I absolutely love it! It’s not too oily, provides the skin with optimal sun protection and moisturises perfectly. Plus you can apply your make up on the top with no dramas at all.

This moisturiser is an all in one! It protects, moisturisers and gives you a good base to apply make up. I never have to reapply moisturiser throughout the day with this one, it is so hydrating. I have been using this for at least 2 years and don't feel that I will be changing anytime soon.I have normal skin, yet often break out with hormonal acne and I don't feel that this makes it any worse. And its such a great price for how long it lasts.
Enjoy!

Definitely works, didn't get sunburnt at the beach yesterday!

I have used many different sunscreen moisturisers and I found this one the most effective and long lasting. One thing I don't love about the product is that is sometimes leaves my skin feeling a bit greasy and shiny. This could be a combination of my skin and the product. Otherwise I would highly recommend this product.

I decided to try this as I needed a moisturiser with a zinc spf to cut down on morning routine. This is amazing. It provides the perfect amount of moisture and the spf has really helped to stop my melasma from worsening. It is really affordable from Adore Beauty and seems like it will last quite a while.

I recvied this in a sample. It didn't soak into my skin but just sat on top. Felt horrible. Will not purchase.

I have an oily T-zone and this makes my face shiny. Even though it is pretty moisturising for my cheek areas but I will probably opt for a less oily option. The product kind of separates out after it sits in the cabinet for a while.

I was super excited to try this sunscreen after reading all of the amazing reviews. I have sensitive skin, so I tend to do a bit of research before buying a product. I though I’d give this one a go as I am too pale for the Alpha H tinted spf. Within the 1st 3 days of using this sunscreen my skin texture went down hill and I started to form what looked like rosacea followed by dry patches and deep painful breakouts. My husband hasn’t had an issue and will continue to use it but I am super sad it didn’t work for me!

This looks so good under every day makeup and such an added bonus that there is spf. I have dry skin that can sometimes look dull and this brings back luminosity :)

Love the feel of this moisturiser. I found a lot of moisturisers with sunscreen would either be really thick or feel really greasy, this is not the case with this one and leaves my skin feeling great.

I bought this moisturiser because I have very fair skin and I need to wear SPF50 to protect my skin. I also have sensitive skin and this didn't irritate me but I didn't find it too moisturising. It's also not waterproof, which didn't seem like a big deal at first, but during Summer when it's hot, I found sweat caused this to drip into my eyes and it is irritating on my eyes. In it's defence, I never got sunburnt while wearing it.

Feels really nice on the skin and leaves the skin looking dewy but after using it for a few weeks, I noticed patches of eczema developing. I stopped using it for a little while and my eczema ended up disappearing.

Would recommend for people with normal/oily skin types.

I have been on the hunt for an every day spf. I tried Invisible Zinc and even DMK and this has come out the winner by a mile! It’s so light, doesn’t feel heavy and doesn’t leave a white sheen. The others I tried were really heavy and oily. My skin tends to get oily towards the end of the day and this spf didn’t make it worse at all. It soaked in quickly and only made my skin slightly dewy which I actually liked. It’s easily the best and I’ll definitely keep buying it!

I love this product - I had been using my daily moisturiser plus a physical mineral sunscreen and finding it quite thick and heavy, especially on warmer days. Can't go past wearing SPF every day and have been so pleased since using ASAP daily defence! Great SPF rating, consistency not too thick, finish is nice; doesn't leave you looking pale or white (like some physical sunscreens) and allows makeup over the top really easily.
Would definitely recommend this product!

This is my everyday mosturiser when I do not wear a foundation with an SPF factor. I have combination skin, and this formula never makes me feel congested and always protects my pasty skin from the rays of our hot Aussie sun. Definitely recommend and a little goes a long way!

I have combination skin, am nearly 40 and this is the daily moisturiser I've been using for years. I've never wanted to be bothered with a seperate anti-ageing moisturiser and sunscreen, so this is a perfect all-in-one. The SPF has never stung my eyes. Great under make-up, to the point I've sometimes worn it in the evening under make-up, even when I haven't even needed the sunscreen. Never oily and you don't need much. Skin looks very healthy after application. I will keep using this.

This is my favourite sunscreen I have come across!
Feels lightweight and absorbs well, with a mild sheen to my face (without leaving a white mask). It's definitely something you can wear every day,
Minor downside is the sting if you get it in your eyes - i.e when exercising.
Have trialled many, and this one is my go to.

I love this stuff because it is so smooth on the skin and not grainy like a lot of other sunscreens! It also doesn't block my pores or smell like sunscreen all day long! and its 50+ which is a bonus for Australian sun!

I have a very oily T-zone but I'm also prone to dry patches and this moisturizer works great at keeping everything in check and makes my skin feel soft.
