High-performance protection, long-lasting hydration, invisible primer… discover your new beauty essential.
Sunscreen is something we save for holidays. We forget about it in winter. We consider it too greasy, too white, too inconvenient. And yet UV rays never take a day off. 365 days a year, whether the sky is cloudy or clear, they silently affect the skin, accelerating ageing, weakening its barrier and depleting its moisture reserves. It was time for a skincare product to rise to this daily challenge.
WHY SPF IS ESSENTIAL ALL YEAR ROUND
UV rays don’t need sunshine to do damage
We often forget that ultraviolet radiation is divided into two categories with very different effects. UVB rays, responsible for sunburn, are the most well-known. But it is UVA rays—present even on cloudy days and capable of passing through windows—that pose the most insidious daily threat to the skin. Penetrating deeper into the dermis, they break down collagen and elastin, weaken the skin barrier and accelerate the appearance of the first signs of ageing: wrinkles, loss of firmness and a dull complexion. Unlike UVB rays, they work silently, in all weather conditions, all year round.
Added to this is a mechanism that is often underestimated: chronic UV exposure directly contributes to skin dehydration. By damaging the skin’s natural barrier, UV radiation promotes transepidermal water loss, an invisible process of evaporation that gradually depletes the skin’s moisture reserves, leaving it less supple, less plump and less resilient. Protecting your skin from UV rays also means protecting it from dryness.
Given these facts, limiting SPF use to summer months is based on a persistent misconception. Experts have long agreed on one point: daily photoprotection is the most effective anti-ageing step there is. The only missing piece was a product that could make it truly desirable—and above all, easy to adopt.
THE NEW SOURCE HYDRA+
A 3-in-1 facial treatment designed for modern routines
Its texture is one of its greatest strengths: lightweight, melting, non-comedogenic, it applies effortlessly and disappears into the skin without leaving a white cast, greasy residue or mask-like effect. A rare quality for an SPF50+, often associated with thick or occlusive textures. Here, the formula has been designed to respect the skin as much as it protects it: fragrance-free, silicone-free, with 92% ingredients of natural origin—excluding UV filters—it fully reflects the clean philosophy of Source Hydra+.
Its travel-friendly format completes the picture: slipped into a handbag or placed on a desk, it goes everywhere without getting in the way. For those constantly on the move, enjoying outdoor workouts or facing long days, it also offers the promise of easy reapplication throughout the day, without a complicated ritual.
THE FORMULATION
Three active ingredients, perfect balance
Behind the simplicity of the gesture lies a remarkably precise formulation. The product is built around three complementary active ingredients chosen for their targeted efficacy and compatibility with even the most sensitive skin.
Aquaxyl®, a patented complex of natural sugars, forms the hydrating backbone of the formula. Its action is twofold: it replenishes the skin’s moisture levels deep down while strengthening the skin barrier, the natural protective film that regulates water exchanges between the skin and its environment. By reinforcing this barrier, Aquaxyl® helps the skin retain moisture more effectively, maintaining optimal hydration levels throughout the day, even in challenging conditions.
Alongside it, jojoba oil provides additional protection against daily aggressors. Renowned for its composition, which closely resembles the skin’s natural sebum, it helps limit transepidermal water loss and forms a lightweight protective veil against wind, cold and pollution. Its dry, non-greasy feel makes it the ideal partner for lightweight formulas—it enriches without weighing down, nourishes without clogging.
Finally, organic UV filters provide broad-spectrum SPF50+ protection against both UVB and UVA rays. They form the technical backbone of the formula, justifying its position as the final step of the skincare routine—and the first line of defence against the sun.
PROVEN EFFICACY
Measured results
The effectiveness of a skincare product is not something that can simply be claimed—it must be demonstrated. This product underwent a rigorous consumer test under dermatological supervision involving 21 volunteers over 28 days of use, with one application per day. Importantly, half of the volunteers had sensitive skin, strengthening the significance of the results obtained.
100% Skin protected from external aggressors*
90% Skin hydrated—signs of ageing prevented*
90% Skin appearing more resilient*
95% Product suitable for outdoor sports activities*
*Consumer test under dermatological supervision – 21 volunteers, 28 days, 50% with sensitive skin, one application per day. Percentage of volunteers who perceived the effect.
These figures reflect a noticeable reality from the very first weeks: skin appears more resilient, more comfortable and visibly more supple. Day after day, the product works deep within the skin to preserve hydration, counteract the effects of photoaging and strengthen skin resilience, including during outdoor physical activities—a promise still rare in the SPF skincare category. At the end of the 28-day period, 90% of volunteers also confirmed that the product helped prevent visible signs of skin ageing, a valuable benefit for anyone seeking more from their SPF than simple protection.*
HOW TO USE IT
The right step, at the right time
Integration into your routine has been designed to be as simple as possible. In the morning, after your usual skincare steps—cleansing, serum and moisturiser if needed—the Daily Protection Moisturiser SPF50+ is applied all over the face as the final step. It seals in the skincare routine while also acting as the first step of makeup application, functioning as a primer to smooth skin texture and prolong foundation wear.
In the case of prolonged sun exposure—whether spending the day outdoors, exercising, or enjoying lunch on a terrace—it is recommended to reapply throughout the day. Its lightweight texture and invisible finish make this perfectly discreet, even over light makeup. One more freedom in an already busy daily life.
IN PRACTICE: Apply every morning to the entire face as the final step of your skincare routine and the first step of your makeup routine. In case of prolonged exposure, reapply throughout the day. Integrates perfectly into the Source Hydra+ routine for optimal hydration and protection.
THE VERDICT
The skincare step we should never have overlooked
For years, sun protection was relegated to the status of a seasonal inconvenience—a thick product applied reluctantly before heading to the beach and then stored away from September until the following summer. Source Hydra+ responds to this paradox with elegance and determination, transforming SPF from an obligation into a true skincare pleasure.
Its minimalist, silicone-free, fragrance-free formula is suitable for all skin types, including the most reactive. Its 3-in-1 versatility simplifies the routine without ever compromising efficacy. And its clinical results, obtained from a panel that included 50% sensitive skin, confirm what its texture and finish already suggest: this is a product designed to become a long-term essential.
Whether you are looking to simplify your morning ritual, finally adopt a daily SPF, or find the perfect base under your makeup, the Source Hydra+ Daily Protection Moisturiser SPF50+ ticks every box with a lightness that almost makes you forget it is protecting you. And that is precisely its genius.
