Review

Results you may expect from using Bea Skincare Solar Defence SPF 30:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Bea Skincare Solar Defence SPF 30:

  • Light moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 3.0 out of 10.
  • Little anti-wrinkle effect: Bea Skincare Solar Defence SPF 30 has an anti-wrinkle rating of 0.5 out of 10, so you may expect a positive, although insignificant, effect on wrinkles.
  • Antioxidant protection.
  • High sun protection for extended outdoor activities and exposure.

How moisturizing is it?

Lightly moisturizing: Bea Skincare Solar Defence SPF 30 has a moisturizing rating of 3.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Purely humectant. It has zero occlusivity (we didn't find any occlusive ingredients on the ingredient list) and a high humectancy of 6.0 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Hyaluronic Acid (est. ≈2.5%) and Collagen (est. ≈2.0%).

Tip: Studies suggest that humectants alone do not moisturize the skin. We recommend applying a product with some occlusive ingredients after the use of this one.

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the moisturizing rating calculation.

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Bea Skincare Solar Defence SPF 30 has a minimal anti-wrinkle rating of 0.5 out of 10. It contains one ingredient with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy: Ascorbic Acid (est. ≈1.0%),
 or Vitamin C, a popular anti-wrinkle ingredient, yet with average efficacy confirmed by only one study.
 
Moisturizers, when used regularly, are proven to prevent wrinkle formation and even reduce existing wrinkles. Therefore, this product, like any other moisturizer, could deliver additional anti-wrinkle efficacy through its moisturizing action.
 

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the anti-wrinkle rating calculation.

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Bea Skincare Solar Defence SPF 30 is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Alpha-Arbutin (est. ≈5.0%) and Hyaluronic Acid (est. ≈2.5%).

A key benefit of antioxidants is their ability to reduce oxidative stress caused by free radicals and therefore prevent accelerated skin aging. Studies also show that antioxidants can protect against environmental damage such as UV radiation and pollution, and help reduce inflammation and skin redness.

Sun protection

Bea Skincare Solar Defence SPF 30 has an SPF of 30 and provides high sun protection. This level of protection is ideal for activities such as spending time at the beach, outdoor sports, or other activities involving prolonged sun exposure. It's important to apply sunscreen generously and reapply every two hours or after swimming or sweating to maintain effectiveness.
