KEY INGREDIENTS
Circular Chevron Icon
  • Ingredient Icon 1
    Zinc Oxide

    A physical UV filter which is designed to sit on top of the skin to reflect and scatter UV light. Zinc oxide can also absorb some wavelengths of UV light and transform it into infrared, which is dissipated as heat.

    We never use nanoparticle zinc oxide.

  • Ingredient Icon 2
    Squalane

    An exceptional hydrator that helps to prevent the ongoing loss of hydration (TEWL), helping to feed the skins natural barrier function. It is high in emollient properties which helps to form a protective barrier over the skin.

  • Ingredient Icon 3
    Multi-Weight Hyaluronic Acid

    With the ability to attract and retain more than 1,000 times its own weight in water, multi-weight hyaluronic acid draws moisture into multiple layers of the skin; leaving the complexion deeply hydrated and visibly supple.

  • Ingredient Icon 4
    Post-Treatment Complex

    Grape seed extract, green tea extract, bisabolol and allantoin

    A powerful complex of ingredients help to hydrate, calm and soothe inflammation for compromised skins, making it the ideal physical sunscreen to apply post advanced professional treatments; chemical peels, needling & modalities to aid heeling processes

THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE FORMULA
Circular Chevron Icon

This is Medik8's ultimate, most advanced sunscreen

DANIEL ISAACS Chief Product Officer

Sadly, no sunscreen is able to block 100% of UV rays from reaching the skin. Even a perfectly-applied SPF 50+ sunscreen only protects against ~98.3% of UVB rays.* This leaves ~1.7% of UVB rays with the potential to reach the skin and impact skin health.

One of the most concerning effects being direct DNA damage. Although our skin naturally contains proteins called DNA repair enzymes (which work to limit the damage), these proteins deplete as we age.**

Medik8's solution is to replenish the skin’s natural levels of DNA repair enzymes by applying them topically with Advanced Day Ultimate Protect, diminishing visible signs of DNA damage such as fine lines, wrinkles and discolouration.
