Readers of our Beauty Bible series of books over the years will know that Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream (and its 'sister' products) have regularly earned wowzer scores with our testers. It's always slightly bothered us that there hasn't been a version with UV protection, though – and clearly this has also been exercising the team at Elemis, who've now waved a magic wand to answer our skin wishes.

Beyond that: we will go so far as to say this is one of the easiest-to-wear day creams we've ever applied. It's super-lightweight, sinks in fast while quenching skin beautifully – and in fact, if you don't generally wear an SPF30 every day, this really is the product to convert you.

With a powerhouse of age-defying ingredients that include Padina pavonica and Ginkgo blob, skincare benefits have been proven in Elemis's own trials with a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in 14 days.

In short, halle-flipping-lujah.
