Experience ultimate sun protection with 111 Skin Sunscreen SPF 50 at Wymara Resort Turks and Caicos—luxurious, hydrating, and reef-safe.
Let me take you back to that incredible trip to Wymara Resort in Turks and Caicos. Picture this: turquoise waters, white sandy beaches, and me getting exclusive access to test 111 Skin's brand new Sunscreen SPF 50 before anyone else! The resort had just partnered with the luxury skincare brand, bringing their dreamy products into their tropical spa. As someone who's tried countless sunscreens, I was beyond excited to put this $135 formula to the test during my four-day island getaway and for a full month afterward.
Now, let's talk about what makes this sunscreen so special. Dr. Yannis Alexandrides, the co-founder and renowned plastic surgeon, spent years developing this formula specifically for the U.S. market. He wanted something that would protect skin while also addressing common concerns like hyperpigmentation and oxidative stress. The result? A broad-spectrum sunscreen that shields against UVA, UVB, and even HEV blue light without harming coral reefs (it's oxybenzone and octinoxate-free!).
The Hero Ingredients That Won Me Over:
✨ NAC Y2 Complex - 111 Skin's signature blend with vitamin C, escin, and NAC that repairs and soothes skin
✨ Multi-Molecular Hyaluronic Acid - For serious hydration that plumps fine lines
✨ 3% Niacinamide - Balances tone, reduces redness, and regulates oil
✨ 1% Arabian Cotton Stem Cell Extract - Their secret weapon for photoprotection and calming redness
When I first pumped it out in my suite, the texture surprised me! I'm used to thick creams, but this has a milky, almost runny consistency - somewhere between a toner and a light lotion. At first I was skeptical, but oh my goodness, it blends like a dream! No white cast, no sticky residue, just silky absorption that leaves the most beautiful healthy glow.
My Application Routine in Paradise:
☀️ Applied 15-20 minutes before sun exposure
☀️ Used 1-2 pumps as my final skincare step
☀️ Generously covered face and neck (reapplied every 2 hours!)
☀️ Perfect under makeup or alone for 'bare skin' days
As someone with chronically dry skin, finding a sunscreen that hydrates without greasiness is like finding gold. This formula delivered exactly that - all the moisture my skin craved with zero heaviness. And let me tell you, the Turks and Caicos sun is NO JOKE! We're talking intense, scorching rays, but I walked away completely burn-free after days of beach lounging and property exploring.
What I Loved Most:
✅ Lightweight, non-greasy texture
✅ Absolutely NO white cast (invisible on all skin tones!)
✅ Hydrating without feeling heavy
✅ Works beautifully under makeup
✅ Reef-safe formula
✅ That gorgeous post-application glow
The Real Test - One Month Later:
Back home in my daily routine, this sunscreen has become my holy grail. The SPF 50 protection is serious business - theoretically allowing 50 times longer sun exposure (though always reapply!). My skin has never looked better: smoother, more even-toned, and consistently hydrated. While it's definitely a splurge at $135, if you're looking to treat yourself to luxury sun protection that actually performs, this is worth every penny.
Final Thoughts:
Would I repurchase? Absolutely. For beach vacations, daily wear, or whenever my skin needs that extra TLC, 111 Skin's Sunscreen SPF 50 has earned a permanent spot in my routine. It's more than just sun protection - it's skincare that happens to have incredible SPF. If you're ready to elevate your sun protection game in 2026, this luxurious formula deserves your attention!
