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-loving benefits.
1 - Advanced Day Ultimate Protect sun protection is enhanced by DNA repair enzymes. Exposure to UV rays can lead to DNA damage, which affects natural processes such as free radical defense 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 optimize penetration into the skin, delivering next-generation anti-aging results including healthier-looking, 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 aging.
3 - Advanced Day Ultimate Protect contains sustainably sourced bilberry seed oil, a natural shield against blue light. Blue light from the sun can cause free radical damage or visible hyperpigmentation.
Bilberry seed oil can absorb blue light before it hits the skin, minimizing damage from blue light exposure.
4 - Marrubium vulgare extract provides a superior defense against pollution to limit the damage caused by environmental pollutants by protecting skin cells and helps strengthen the skin barrier.
5 - Carnosine is a multi-tasking dipeptide that protects against both glycation and IR. Glycation is a natural aging process in which dietary sugars react with proteins such as collagen, converting them into advanced glycation end products (AGEs) 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 from glycation-induced skin aging.
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 work to provide long-lasting hydration to skin and smooth fine lines and wrinkles.
