Advantages:

*Ultimate UV protection

To create our ultimate sunscreen, we use the highest level of sun protection: SPF 50+ PA++++, to prevent sun-induced premature signs of skin aging.

*DNA Repair Enzymes
Encapsulated photolyase, a light-activated DNA repair enzyme, helps support the skin's natural repair mechanisms after UV exposure.

*Medik8's most advanced protection against environmental influences
The sunscreen provides the skin with the ultimate protection against the environment, providing protection against blue light, infrared light, glycation and pollution.

*For the whole year
Advanced Day Ultimate Protect provides resilient protection in any situation, season or location. Ultimate protection in the hottest summer sun, nourishing the skin in the coldest winter. It is designed to be a mainstay in your skincare routine 365 days a year.

*Daily hydration
Infused with nourishing squalane and hydrating multi-weight hyaluronic acid to hydrate skin complexion daily.

Key ingredients:

*Advanced UV Filters
A complex of high-quality, modern chemical sun filters 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 protect 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 the formation of wrinkles and protects the skin from infrared damage.

*Squalane
Squalane is an almost skin-identical lipid that supports the natural skin barrier and hydrates and nourishes the skin.

*Multi-weight hyaluronic acid
With a unique ability to attract and retain more than 1000x its own weight in water, hyaluronic acid can absorb moisture, leaving skin feeling both nourished and supple.

How it works:

Our highest SPF product in the Medik8 range, providing the highest level of PA+ protection against UVA rays – PA++++. We use a complex of high-quality, modern sun filters that have been carefully selected for their photostability, high performance on the skin and skin-friendly benefits.

1. Advanced Day Ultimate Protect sun protection is strengthened by DNA repair enzymes. Exposure to UV rays can lead to DNA damage, resulting in an effect on natural processes such as defense mechanisms against free radicals 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 and more resilient skin with a natural glow.
2. UV rays aren't 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 produced 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 the blue light before it hits the skin, minimizing damage from blue light exposure.
4. Marrubium vulgare extract provides 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 infrared. 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 against 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 the skin and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.
