Worth the Hype – Ultra Violette

Let’s be honest, SPF has never been the most glamorous step in a beauty routine. It’s often sticky, leaves a white cast, and feels more like a chore than self-care.

Yet in the Middle Eastern heat, wearing sunscreen every single day is non-negotiable if you want to protect your skin and slow down visible ageing. That’s where Ultra Violette steps in. The Aussie brand, launched just a few years ago, has completely redefined the SPF game with what it calls “SKINSCREENS™”, sun protection formulas that don’t just shield, but also prime, hydrate, and feel as luxurious as the rest of your skincare lineup. But the real question remains: does it live up to the hype?

Here are a few of Ultra Violette’s top selling products:

// Queen Screen SPF 50+ Luminizing Skinscreen (AED 205)

This is hands down our personal favourite from Ultra Violette. Lightweight yet powerful, it delivers broad-spectrum protection while infusing skin with nourishing vitamins and lasting hydration. With its silky serum texture, delicate rose scent, and luminous finish, it’s SPF that feels like skincare luxury, and one you’ll actually look forward to wearing every day.

// Ultra Violette Preen Screen SPF 50 Mist (AED 165)

Meet your on-the-go SPF saviour, this ultra-fine spray tops up sun protection without smudging makeup, while soothing ingredients like niacinamide and aloe keep skin fresh, hydrated, and glowing, all in a quick spritz.

// Ultra Violette Queen Screen Super Glow Drops – Bronzing SPF 50 (AED 160)
