How does Medik8 Advanced Day Ultimate Protect work?

Our highest SPF product in the Medik8 line, with the highest level of PA+ protection against UVA rays – PA++++. We use a complex of first-class, modern sun filters that have been carefully selected for their light sensitivity, good effect on the skin and skin-friendly benefits.

Advanced Day Ultimate Protect sun protection is strengthened by DNA repair enzymes. Exposure to UV rays can lead to damage to the DNA, with all the consequences that this entails for natural processes such as the defense mechanism based on free radicals and collagen production. Photolyase, a light-activated enzyme, supports the skin's natural repair mechanisms to prevent the future formation of visible fine lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation due to UV exposure. The photolyase is encapsulated to optimize skin penetration, delivering next-generation anti-aging results, including healthier-looking and more resilient skin with a natural glow.

UV rays aren't the only thing we need to protect our skin against; We are also exposed to a number of other daily factors throughout the year that can cause premature aging.

Medik8 Advanced Day Ultimate Protect contains sustainably sourced blueberry seed oil, a natural shield against blue light. Blue light from the sun can cause free radical damage or visible hyperpigmentation on the complexion. Blueberry oil is able to absorb the blue light before it hits the skin, minimizing the damage from blue light exposure.

Marrubium vulgare extract provides superior pollution protection to limit damage from environmental pollutants, protecting skin cells and helping to strengthen the skin barrier.

Carnosine is a multi-tasking di-peptide that protects against both glycation and infrared. Glycation is a natural aging process in which dietary sugars react with proteins such as collagen, turning them into advanced glycation end products (A.G.E.s) that cannot be renewed, leading to fine lines and wrinkles. Advanced Day Ultimate Protect uses carnosine to inhibit the glycation reaction and protect the skin against skin aging due to glycation. Carnosine may also protect the skin from infrared rays, which make up about half of the sun's rays and are known to play a role in collagen breakdown.

Nourishing squalane and hydrating hyaluronic acid provide the skin with long-lasting moisture, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

• Advanced UV filters
  A complex of high-quality, modern chemical sun filters, carefully selected for their good effect on the skin, photostability and skin-friendly benefits.
• Encapsulated photolyase
  Photolyase is a light-activated DNA repair enzyme derived from plankton extract that supports the skin's natural defense mechanisms against DNA damage from UV light.
