There are few beauty launches that cause the kind of frenzy we’ve seen around Heaven Skincare’s Prism Protection SPF 50+. The luxury British brand, which has a Royal Warrant and is known for its cult ABEETOXIN Bee Venom formula, has a staggering 10,000-person waitlist for this product. Priced at £73 and three years in development, Prism Protection is marketed as more than just an SPF. With clinically tested SPF 53.1 coverage, it defends against UVA, UVB, blue light and pollution while delivering hydration and brightness thanks to ingredients like multi-molecular hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, cotton stem cells and vitamins E and B5.
When my package arrived, it immediately felt like something special. A handwritten note marked 45/100 highlighted its small-batch exclusivity, while the packaging itself carried the polish and weight of a heritage brand with loyal celebrity clients including Victoria Beckham, Kylie Minogue and Cheryl. On first use, the cream applied beautifully: lightweight, moisturising and quick to absorb, without the heaviness or greasiness you often expect from high-factor SPFs. The finish is soft and matte, making it easy to layer under make-up without compromising texture.
Heaven Skincare positions Prism Protection as both defence and treatment. Alongside broad-spectrum protection, it promises to soothe irritation, strengthen the skin barrier and reduce redness and uneven tone, while supporting hydration even in the drying conditions of air-conditioned offices or hot climates. Whether it lives up to all of those claims is something only time will tell, but the brand’s track record of innovation and its dedicated following suggests it may be worth the hype.
Verdict: A luxurious SPF that feels more like skincare than sun care. With its combination of heritage, science and exclusivity, Prism Protection is a statement addition to any daily routine.
