Regenerist SPF 30 Flawless Skin Cream (Olay)
Launched: January 2011
Up to 80% of premature ageing is caused by the sun, claims Olay. Hence the brand's latest product, Regenerist SPF 30 Flawless Skin Cream. Incorporating a high SPF into a cosmetic can make it thick and slow to absorb, but according to Olay, this new anti-ageing moisturiser has been specifically formulated to deliver broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection in an easily-absorbed, non-greasy cream which maintains the brand's luxury feel.
Packed with penta-peptides, anti-oxides, extract of green tea and vitamins known to quench the free radicals responsible for tissue damage, the product claims to firm the skin and help reverse any existing sun damage. It also features Olay's highest ever sun protection. Packaged in a maroon and silver pump dispenser, it has an rsp of £29.99 for 50ml.
Resisto Coloured Milk (Garnier Ambre Solaire)
Launched: February 2011

Designed to show up the bits Mum missed, the milk aims to offer long-lasting sun protection in higher temperatures. Sand resistant, it retails at £12.90 for 200ml.
