Description
Digital Shield™ is the daytime partner to our Digital Rest™ night recovery cream. Together, the duo complete a 24-hour cycle of skin protection and restoration.
Protects against modern day pollutants
Advanced anti-pollution actives form an invisible defensive barrier on the skin’s surface to shield from airborne pollutants, while B-Circadin™ and CobioDefender EMR fortify against the effects of digital blue light and electromagnetic radiation.
Energises and diffuses signs of fatigue
Powerful cell-booster PhytoSpherix™ energises skin at a cellular level. Anti-fatigue actives work to counteract signs of a sleep-deprived complexion while subtle optical diffusers instantly neutralise yellow tones and dullness.
Supercharges the skin's natural luminosity
Antioxidant powerhouse Astaxanthin further fortifies against oxidative stress while boosting skin radiance. Luminescine, an ingredient inspired by plant photoluminescence, transforms UV radiation into a source of light that radiates directly from the skin.
How To Use
Smooth over face, neck and chest every
morning after serum. Follow with an SPF.

Too early to say whether it has been effective or not as I have started using it about 5-6 days ago. It is light and smooth and I like the texture. However, I know I won't be buying their products again - just not worth the money. It is a well proven fact that high price tags don't reduce ageing any more than high street brands. I also am not a fan of their snobbish attitude.

Digital shield day cream is a gel like moisturiser that leaves my dry skin glowing and hydrated. Also great for the summer months where you want a more lightweight moisturiser. Definitely recommend.
I was persuaded to buy this product by the store in the kings road. I have just bought my second bottle and now love it and feel it really is doing the job it says it would.
This is a lovely light moisturiser that makes my skin look more radiant. I use it everyday, it even smells lovely.
It is a great cream for daytime use.
This day time moisturizer is wonderful.The skin just glows after applying it,and no problems with layering with other products.
Fantastic day cream! Provides a light luminous glow. Great under makeup.
I have only just started using this product and absolutely love it; it’s light but still luxurious. I alternate it with my Age Repair Serum which I simply couldn’t do without.
It’s my new daily must. Love the scent and the glowing feeling on my skin
I’ve been using this for some weeks already and I love it! It works wonders on my oily yet sensitive skin.
Product is amazing and in par with techno loft
When Digital Rest came out I was obsessed, it was a perfect nightcream for when I used multiple layers and didnt needed a lighter night cream to seal everything in. Also it had amazing texture and application, so when the day cream version came out I was so so excited and it just doesn't compare to the night cream. It nice and light and still has a bit of the gel/cool texture, but I find it dries out on the skin within a few hours and I suddenly feel like I forgot to put moisturizer on. This is also during the summer, I can't imagine how skin would feel in winter.... I wanted to love this product so much, but I think it needs a bit more of the gel/cool feeling as the digital rest and more than anything it needs to stay hydrating throughout the day, while staying lightweight. Please please work on a second formulation, as I would love to try an updated version of this!!
Thank you for your feedback.
We are sorry to hear about your experience with our Digital Rest. It is a light formula created for daytime skin protection and restoration. As we take customer feedback very seriously, I have passed your comments onto our Product Development team.
Kind regards,
The Sarah Chapman Team
Really like this. Goes on well. Just wish it has spf in it.
Let's face it, there is so much choice out there but, this new face cream from Sarah Chapman of London is special. Digital Shield is my daily go to from now on.
This creams ideal for layering under sunscreen. most moisturisers are too gloopy combined with layer of sunscreen which causes make up to look greasy and require powdering. This is the answer with benefits!
I have been loving this product since it came out! As someone with combination skin, it can be hard to find moisturisers that can sit under makeup without making me look too oily or breaking me out. Happy to say this moisturiser does neither while still keeping my skin hydrated.
