Airyday's Golden Glow SPF50+ Dreamscreen, created by skin cancer survivor Frances van der Velden, has earned a 4.9 rating from over 1,400 reviews. The £39 formula delivers broad-spectrum protection with a transparent golden tint for a radiant, bronzed finish.
Created after a skin cancer diagnosis
Frances van der Velden launched Airyday after being diagnosed with skin cancer at 36. The Australian SPF brand offers a range of SPF50+ formulas designed around different skin types and finish preferences, including glow, blurred, and undetectable options.
The Golden Glow Dreamscreen is water resistant for up to 40 minutes and contains niacinamide, vegan collagen, hyaluronic acid, and vitamins C, E and F. It also includes Blue Oleoactif, a plant-derived active said to help shield against urban pollution and blue light exposure.
Customer reviews praise glow and feel
Reviewers have praised the product's lightweight feel and finish. One wrote: "I wear this every day, it provides a beautiful glow on its own or under make up. It is light weight and has a beautiful fresh fragrance - best SPF I have used for my face."
Another said: "Smooth, silky and invisible - I absolutely love using this product!" A third added: "Super lightweight, and doesn't sting or irritate my eyes. Highly recommend it."
One shopper aged over 65 said: "It gives my sensitive skin a lovely healthy glow and protects against the elements, will be a constant as part of my skincare routine." Another commented: "This product is gold, I live in the tropics and in the sun and it feels amazing. I wear it underneath makeup and the glow is stunning, best sunscreen formula I have ever used."
Alternatives and other shades
While most customers praised the champagne and peony scent, one reviewer found it overpowering but said: "This has everything I want from an SPF which is high factor 50, broad spectrum, a lovely non greasy but dewy finish and a light sheer golden glow... So although I don't like the smell, I will put up with it because it's all I have ever wanted from sun protection for my face."
Airyday also offers Pearl Glow and Bronze Glow alternatives, as well as Mineral Mousse SPF50+ for oily and combination skin, Pretty in Zinc SPF50+ for sensitive or acne-prone skin, and Clear As Day SPF50+ for dry and dehydrated complexions. Other brands like Supergoop! and Kosas offer similar SPF products with lower protection factors.
