The Dr. Liv Day Shield SPF 30 is more than just sunscreen - it’s the foundation of LEVEL I in the Dr. Liv Method. Without it, skin training is like working out without safety instructions. This ultra-light gel cream on a hyaluronic acid base adapts to every skin type and tone, delivering UVA/UVB protection while niacinamide and antioxidants defend against sun damage, pollution, and premature skin aging.

Impact

Shields from UV Damage:
SPF 30 (UVB protection against sunburns) and high UVA protection (against collagen loss, redness and pigmentations) shield against a wide range of skin damage and premature aging.

Protects from free radicals:
Helps protect your skin from free radicals thanks to antioxidants and niacinamide meaning you’ll no longer need a day cream or vitamin C serum as it is packed with moisture and antioxidants.

Against dark spots:
The combination of UVA protection and niacinamide effectively shields from developing dark spots.

Light weighted with prebiotics:
Unlike other sunscreens, it leaves no white cast and with hyaluronic acid as a base, it is suitable for acne-prone and sensitive skin enhanced with prebiotics.

Hero Ingredients

Powered by smart science and patients feedback, the Dr. Liv Day Shield goes beyond sunscreen: Niacinamide and Panthenol strengthen and soothe, antioxidants and UV filters protect against UVA/UVB and free radicals, Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide supports a healthy microbiome, and hyaluronic acid keeps it ultra-light and invisible on every skin: the result is ultimate daily protection without hormone-active or coral-harming filters

How to use

The Day Shield is an essential part of LEVEL I in the Dr. Liv Method – without this step, it’s like training without safety instructions.

1. Wash your Hands:
It's crucial to always wash your hands to avoid transfer of bacteria to your face.

2. Wash your face:
Start your day by washing your face with the Dr. Liv cleanser. AHA and BHA contained in the Dr. Liv Smoothing Cleanser boost your cell turnover in addition to cleansing the face.

3. Apply the DAY SHIELD:
To sufficiently cover your face and neck area, apply the Day Shield on the entire length of your index and middle finger. Spread evenly on your face, ears and neck and the back of the hands! Please remember to shake the Day Shield before usage.

Why does the Day Shield only use SPF 30 and not SPF 50? And why does the Day Shield also block UVA?

The Day Shield uses SPF 30 and high UVA protection to effectively block both UVA and UVB rays, as SPF 30 blocks approximately 97% of these rays. While SPF 50 offers slightly higher protection, blocking around 98% of rays, the difference in efficiency is marginal. By shielding against both UVA and UVB rays, the Day Shield not only safeguards against sunburn and skin cancer (caused by UVB rays) but also combats premature aging (caused by UVA rays).

Does the Day Shield contain antioxidants?

Yes, the Day Shield contains antioxidants protecting your skin from free radicals, helping to prevent and minimize damage caused by oxidation, thus providing additional protection for your skin.

Is the Day Shield suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, our products are hypoallergenic, meaning they carry minimal risk of causing allergic reactions. Therefore, using the Day Shield with sensitive skin should not present any issues. In fact, daily application of sunscreen is very important and highly beneficial for sensitive skin. Disclaimer: All skincare products can potentially cause an allergic reaction, due to a sensitivity to an ingredient within the product’s formulation. If you are likely to experience allergic reactions we recommend applying the product on your forearm and waiting 24 hours whether a reaction develops.

Is the Day Shield tinted?

No, the Day Shield is not tinted. Its colour is due to the presence of antioxidants in the formulation. Once applied to the face, the Day Shield does not leave behind any white cast and is suitable for all skin tones.

Is the Day Shield “clean”?

The term “clean” is an arbitrary marketing term that carries very little actual significance, especially in the EU/Swiss region where regulations regarding skincare ingredients are of the highest standard worldwide. By definition, our products contain ingredients of the highest quality, safety and standard.

Is the Day Shield safe to use during pregnancy?

Certainly, since the Day Shield does not contain any active ingredients, it is not only safe but also recommended to continue applying it daily during pregnancy and breastfeeding to avoid hyperpigmentation.

Is the Day Shield suitable for acne-prone and sensitive skin?

Sure, it is a super light weighted gel. It is perfectly suitable for acne-prone and sensitive skin.

If I keep the Day Shield in a standing position, a funny fluid comes out? Is that normal?

Yes, don’t worry. It doesn’t go bad and it does not dissolve. You just need to shake it super well before every usage.

Does the sunscreen reduce your vitamin D production?

Yes, it does. However the face represents only around 4% of our body surface - you can therefore get your vitamin D from parts of your body where you do not mind getting potential pigmentation.

My make-up has SPF 15 - is that enough?

No, you would have to apply 2mg per cm2 of make-up to get the advertised protection. This would mean applying a lot of make-up - more than you wish to have on your face. Additionally, it does not offer UVA protection.

Is the Day Shield comodogenic?

No, it is super light weighted and perfectly suitable for people with acne prone and sensitive skin. Even men love it, as it is not greasy at all.
