Each week (during the second series) they presented the result of a consumer trial. In their anti-aging moisturizer test, Est
ée Lauder’s DayWear Plus SPF 15 topped the chart.To me, this result is immensely interesting in two ways. Firstly, as far as I know, DayWear Plus has never been marketed as an anti-aging moisturizer. (It is not in the anti-aging category on Est
ée Lauder’s website either.) But I am glad that it was included in the test, because I have always believed that, so far, sunscreen products with UVA and UVB protection are the only truly anti-aging products.Secondly, I have been using DayWear Plus for years. I used the original DayWear for a while and I switched to the oily-skin version (seen below) when it came out. This lighter version is moisturizing (without being greasy), features anti-UVA and UVB ingredients, and serves as a good makeup primer.
(Now I alternate between this and Olay Complete Care Multi-Radiance Daily Illuminating UV Fluid, which has the same assets.)

The test in the program is by no means exhaustive. Only four moisturizers were chosen, based on a wide range of prices and general popularity. But it is great to see one of my favorite moisturizers beat the others, which all claim to have anti-aging properties.

I believe the high levels of antioxidants in Day Wear Plus are anti aging components as well as the sunscreen. I love DW+!!!
Hi Lee,
As far as I remember, the products in the DayWear Plus range do have antioxidants, which are certainly beneficial to the skin.
Thank you for stopping by! :)
