Helen’s note

On average, we now spend around 90% of our time indoors. With a lack of sun exposure, our skin can’t make the Vitamin D it needs to be healthy. Unfortunately oral supplement can’t get our skin to optimum levels, making this serum a no-brainer.

Esse

Pro-Sun D Serum

£43

Daily SPF and indoor living mean skin rarely makes enough vitamin D. This serum gives skin provitamin D that converts to vitamin D with just a few minutes of daylight. Vitamin D helps repair the barrier, regulate renewal and calm inflammation. Aloe soothes.

Not sure it’s right for your skin?Ask Helen. A real reply, from a real person.

How to use
Apply once daily or before sun exposure. Smooth over the face and décolleté after cleansing and misting. Product can also be applied to any exposed areas of skin.

For optimum Vitamin D synthesis, expose the skin to at least 5 minutes of direct sunlight without SPF protection and foundation.

Where this fits

Step 1Cleanse

Never strip. Even oily skin needs a cleanser that leaves it comfortable. If you feel tight afterwards, it’s the wrong one.

Step 2Balance

Mists, toners and probiotics settle skin after cleansing, so everything that follows works harder.
