Why do we recommend medical-grade sunscreen?
The filters are more stable, the formulations sit better under makeup, and they actually protect at the level they claim (retail SPF50 often tests closer to SPF30).
With the current heatwave and UV levels climbing, daily SPF isnβt optional, even in the UK. Increased sun exposure means higher risk of pigmentation, premature ageing, inflammation, and long-term skin damage. If youβre investing in your skin with treatments and skincare, protecting it properly every single day matters just as much.

ZO uses a combination of physical and chemical filters for broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection.
The formulations are designed to maintain stability in sunlight (unlike some retail options that break down after 2 hours).
And remember, SPF only works if you use enough and reapply it properly. You need to reapply every 2 hours in direct sun, regardless of SPF level. The powder makes this simple, especially over makeup.
Daily SPF is one of the most important anti-ageing and skin-health steps you can take, particularly during periods of hot weather like weβre seeing now.
All available at the clinic. We can recommend which one suits your skin type, lifestyle, and routine during your next appointment.
