Martiderm is best known for its wide range of hyper-concentrated skincare ampoules, but that’s not all this dermatologist-approved Spanish brand has to offer. We’ve featured some of our favorite Martiderm products in the past, but it’s about time we took a deep dive into the brand’s sunscreen line–which, as of 2025, stands out due to some unique features. Let’s get to know it!
On this post:
- Martiderm Sun Care, a sun-activated sunscreen range
- Sun supplement
- Face sunscreen
- Body sunscreen
- After-sun
The collection: Martiderm Sun Care, a sun-activated sunscreen range
With its turquoise packaging and bright, sunny orange logo, the Martiderm Sun Care range is pretty easy to spot in a line-up–and, most importantly, pretty easy to figure out. In addition to the face sunscreens, which stand out in their compact packaging that fits perfectly into any pocket, this sun care collection also includes a couple of body and after-sun options, as well as a sun supplement.
Despite the differences, these products all work towards the same goal: to provide sun protection 365 days a year, protecting the skin against oxidative damage caused by radiation and, at the same time, helping maintain the healthy functions of vitamin D.
One of the most interesting innovations in the range is the Photo-Active Shield Tech®, an exclusive technology that is only activated when exposed to the sun. When “activated”, this technology enhances the protection offered by the sun filters present in the formula–which essentially allows the formula to offer a higher level of sun protection using a smaller amount of sun filters.
In addition to making the formula more efficient, the Photo-Active Shield Tech® also promotes the stability of the sun filters, which helps maintain adequate levels of sun protection for longer. (Still, make sure you reapply it every two hours–best sunscreen practices are best practices for a reason!)
The Martiderm sun supplement
There are tanning supplements, and then there are sun “protection” supplements, which help prepare the skin against oxidative stress caused by sun exposure. The Martiderm Sun Care Capsules, below, are part of the second group:
Martiderm Sun Care Capsules
Martiderm Sun Care Capsules
Formulated with natural extracts of Polypodium leucotomos L. and cocoa, rich in polyphenols, the Martiderm Sun Care Capsules offer a strong antioxidant action, helping protect the skin during sun exposure.
Take these capsules for at least three months, one capsule a day, to prepare your skin for sun exposure and increase its resilience, but be sure to complement them with a sunscreen that suits your needs–we have some recommendations below!
The best Martiderm sunscreens for your face
Martiderm Sun Care Active (D) Fluid
The Martiderm Sun Care Active (D) Fluid, available in both SPF30 and SPF50+, is a sunscreen with an ultra-fluid texture that adapts to all skin types. Formulated with the exclusive Photo-Active Shield Tech® technology, this sunscreen maximizes the concentration of sun filters in the formula, ensuring broad-spectrum protection against UVA/UVB, infrared, and blue light.
The alcohol-free formula is dermatologically and ophthalmologically tested to avoid burning the eyes. Last, but not least, it contains a water-resistant polymer that ensures the product stays put even in contact with water, preventing its dilution and loss of effectiveness.
Martiderm Sun Care Mineral (D) Fluid SPF50
Martiderm Sun Care Mineral (D) Fluid SPF50
For those looking for a 100% mineral sunscreen, the Martiderm Sun Care Mineral (D) Fluid SPF50 is a strong contender. With a fluid texture that is easy to apply, this sunscreen combines mineral sun filters with prebiotic ingredients to help balance the skin. Like other products in this range, it features a water-resistant polymer to help prevent the dilution of the formula, and is ophthalmologically tested to be comfortable even around the eyes.
All in all, this is a perfect sunscreen for anyone with sensitive and/or reactive skin: 100% mineral, ophthalmologically tested, and rich in skin-friendly prebiotics!
The best Martiderm sunscreens for your body
The Martiderm Sun Care line includes two body sunscreens, with different benefits and application methods:
The Martiderm Sun Care Active (D) Body Lotion SPF50+ is a sun protection lotion with a lightweight texture that is quickly absorbed by the skin. Suitable for all skin types, this lotion is the simplest way to provide sun protection to the whole family, including children over 3 years old. The water-resistant formula, which resists dilution thanks to the properties of a unique polymer, is a perfect fit for active days at the beach or pool!
With a biphasic formula, Martiderm Sun Care Bronze (D) Body Spray SPF30 is the perfect body sunscreen for those who like to spend their beach days lying in the sun, working on their golden tan. In addition to sun filters that offer UVA/UVB protection, this sunscreen spray also features Melanin Active, an exclusive ingredient that enhances and prolongs the tan, for a radiant sun-kissed look.
The Martiderm approach to after-sun
Martiderm Sun Care After-Sun Refreshing Lotion
And because a sun care range is never complete without an after-sun product, there’s the Martiderm Sun Care After-Sun Refreshing Lotion, a lightweight, refreshing body lotion that helps hydrate and repair the skin after sun exposure. Formulated with moisturizing and soothing ingredients, this alcohol-free lotion is the best way to wrap up a long day at the beach or pool: not only does it moisturize the skin and help replenish lost hydration, it also provides a repairing effect, helping reduce redness from the first application.
And there’s more! Clinical studies have shown that over 80% of those who use this after-sun lotion confirm that it helps maintain their tan after two weeks. What’s not to love?
As you can see, the Martiderm Sun Care line has everything you need to achieve broad-spectrum sun protection, no matter your lifestyle. Whether you’re an active beachgoer who needs water-resistant sunscreen or a city dweller who just wants a fluid, practical sunscreen for everyday use, you’ll find what you need in this collection.
