FAQ

Q: Can I use Advanced Day Total Protect if I have sensitive skin?
A: Yes, Advanced Day Total Protect is dermatologically tested and proven suitable for sensitive skin. The formula is fragrance-free from artificial fragrances and uses skin-friendly chemical UV filters. However, as with any new skincare product, we recommend performing a patch test before full application. Speak to our experts if you have specific concerns about your skin's sensitivities.

Q: Does this product contain physical (mineral) or chemical UV filters?
A: Advanced Day Total Protect uses a complex of premium chemical UV filters (Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Ethylhexyl Triazone) that are carefully selected for their photostability and high performance. Unlike physical filters, these absorb UV radiation rather than reflecting it, which allows for the lightweight, invisible finish that makes this moisturiser ideal for daily wear and makeup application.

Q: How much product should I apply to ensure adequate sun protection?
A: For optimal SPF 30 protection, apply 5 pumps (¼ teaspoon) to the face, taking care to avoid the eye area. Apply an additional 5 pumps to the neck and décolletage. Using less than the recommended amount will reduce the level of sun protection. Reapply every 2 hours during prolonged sun exposure and after swimming or heavy perspiration.

Q: Can I use this product under makeup?
A: Absolutely. Advanced Day Total Protect is specifically formulated with a lightweight, non-greasy texture and invisible finish that makes it perfect as a makeup base. Allow the product to fully absorb (approximately 2-3 minutes) before applying cosmetics. The breathable formula won't cause pilling or interfere with makeup application.

Q: What is glycation and why is anti-A.G.E. technology important?
A: Glycation is a natural ageing process where dietary sugars react with proteins such as collagen and elastin, transforming them into advanced glycation end-products (A.G.E.s) that cannot be renewed. This leads to stiffening of collagen fibres, resulting in fine lines, wrinkles and loss of skin elasticity. Advanced Day Total Protect contains Carnosine, a protective peptide that inhibits the glycation reaction, helping to preserve collagen integrity and prevent premature ageing.

Q: How long will a 50ml bottle last with daily use?
A: With the recommended application of 5 pumps (¼ teaspoon) for the face and an additional 5 pumps for neck and décolletage, a 50ml bottle provides approximately 2 months of daily use. Individual usage may vary depending on application area and frequency of reapplication.

Q: Is Advanced Day Total Protect suitable for use during pregnancy?
A: Advanced Day Total Protect uses chemical UV filters and ingredients that are generally considered safe. However, as skincare needs can vary during pregnancy, we recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before introducing new products to your routine, particularly those containing active ingredients or sunscreen filters.
