Medik8 Advanced Day Ultimate Protect™

“No sunscreen is able to block 100% of UV rays from the skin. Even an SPF 50+ that is applied perfectly only protects against ~98.3% of UVB rays.[1] This leaves ~1.7% of UVB rays that can still hit the skin and have the potential to impact skin health  - one of the most concerning effects is direct DNA damage. While our skin naturally contains proteins called DNA repair enzymes, which work to limit the damage caused, they deplete in number as we age.[2] Our solution is to replenish the skin’s natural levels of DNA repair enzymes by applying them topically in Advanced Day Ultimate Protect. Encapsulated photolyase helps to reinvigorate skin’s natural repair mechanisms,[3] visibly diminishing the signs of DNA damage, including fine lines, wrinkles and discolorations.”
