Expert Tips: For maximum protection, ensure you're applying the recommended amount (5 pumps for face). Using less product significantly reduces the level of sun protection achieved. Speak to our experts for personalised application guidance tailored to your skincare routine.

FAQ

Q: Will Advanced Day Ultimate Protect leave a white cast on darker skin tones?
A: No. This formula has been clinically tested on 53 participants across all skin tones and proven to deliver an invisible finish. The chemical UV filters absorb into the skin rather than sitting on the surface, ensuring no white cast regardless of your complexion.

Q: Can I use this if I have oily or acne-prone skin?
A: Absolutely. Advanced Day Ultimate Protect is clinically proven to be non-comedogenic, meaning it won't block pores or cause breakouts. The lightweight, breathable formula is suitable for oily and acne-prone skin types, providing essential sun protection without adding unwanted shine or heaviness.

Q: Do I need to use a separate moisturiser with this product?
A: Advanced Day Ultimate Protect is expertly formulated as a 2-in-1 moisturiser and sunscreen, eliminating the need for a separate moisturiser for most skin types. However, if you have very dry skin or prefer additional hydration, you may apply your regular moisturiser before this product. Speak to our experts for personalised routine guidance.

Q: How long does it take to see anti-ageing results?
A: Sun protection is preventative skincare—the most visible results come from consistent daily use over time. By preventing UV damage, pollution exposure, and environmental stress, you're actively maintaining your skin's youthful appearance and preventing the formation of new fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots. Many users notice improved skin texture and radiance within weeks of consistent use.

Q: Can I wear makeup over this sunscreen?
A: Yes. The lightweight, fast-absorbing formula provides the perfect base for makeup application. Allow the product to fully absorb (approximately 1-2 minutes) before applying foundation or other makeup products for optimal results.

Q: What makes this different from Medik8's Advanced Day Total Protect?
A: Advanced Day Ultimate Protect offers higher sun protection (SPF 50+ vs SPF 30) and features advanced DNA repair enzyme technology with encapsulated photolyase, which Total Protect does not contain. Ultimate Protect represents Medik8's most advanced and comprehensive environmental protection available.
