DESCRIPTION
Advanced Day Ultimate Protect is a powerful combination of active ingredients to protect against all causes of premature skin ageing. Advanced Day Ultimate Protect is the ideal moisturiser that can be used for the most advanced protection against UV rays, the environment and DNA damage to the skin.
Our highest SPF product in the Medik8 range, offering the highest level of PA+ protection against UVA rays - PA++++. We use a complex of high-quality, modern sun filters carefully selected for their photostability, high performance on the skin, and skin-friendly benefits.
1 - Advanced Day Ultimate Protect sunscreen is enhanced by DNA repair enzymes. Exposure to UV rays can lead to DNA damage, affecting natural processes such as free radical defence mechanisms and collagen production.
Photolyase, a light-activated enzyme, supports the skin's natural repair mechanisms to prevent future formation of visible fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation caused by UV exposure.
The photolyase is encapsulated to optimise its penetration into the skin, delivering next-generation anti-ageing results, including healthier-looking and more resilient skin with a natural glow.
2 - UV rays are not the only thing we need to protect our skin from; we are also exposed to a number of other daily factors throughout the year that can cause premature skin ageing.
3 - 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.
Blueberry seed oil can absorb blue light before it hits the skin, minimising damage from blue light exposure.
4 - Marrubium vulgare extract provides superior defence against pollution to limit the damage caused by environmental pollutants by protecting skin cells and helping to strengthen the skin barrier.
5 - Carnosine is a multi-tasking dipeptide that protects against both glycation and infrared. Glycation is a natural ageing process in which dietary sugars react with proteins such as collagen, converting 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 glycation-induced skin ageing.
Carnosine can also protect the skin against 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 work to provide long-lasting hydration to the skin and smooth fine lines and wrinkles.
HOW TO USE
As the last step in your skincare routine, apply a generous amount (¼ teaspoon or 5 pumps) of Advanced Day Ultimate Protect to face, adding more for neck and décolleté, avoiding the eye area.
Use light, upward strokes and allow to absorb.
Reapply as needed during the day, and every 2 hours in direct sunlight.
Perfect as a layer over your favourite Medik8 vitamin C serum.
KEY INGREDIENTS
- Advanced UV Filters
A complex of high-quality, modern chemical sunscreens carefully selected for their high performance on the skin, photostability and skin-friendly benefits. - Encapsulated photolyase
Photolyase, derived from plankton extract, is a light-activated DNA repair enzyme that supports the skin's natural defense mechanisms against DNA damage caused by UV light. - Blueberry seed oil
Blueberry seed oil, sustainably extracted from 800,000 blueberries, is rich in beta-carotene and acts as a natural protection against blue light. - Marrubium Vulgare Extract
A powerful antioxidant that provides essential protection to shield sensitive skin from pollution-induced damage. - Carnosine
Carnosine, a protective peptide naturally produced in the body, blocks the binding of skin-damaging sugars to collagen in the skin in a process called glycation. This helps prevent wrinkles and protects the skin from infrared damage. - Squalane
Squalane is a nearly skin-identical lipid that supports the skin's natural barrier and hydrates and nourishes the skin. - Multi-weight Hyaluronic Acid
With a unique ability to attract and retain over 1,000x its own weight in water, Hyaluronic Acid can absorb moisture, leaving skin feeling both nourished and supple.
