Advanced Day Ultimate Protect sunscreen is powered by DNA repair enzymes. UV exposure can cause DNA damage, impacting natural processes such as free radical defense mechanisms and collagen production. Photolyase, a light-activated enzyme, supports the skins natural repair mechanisms to prevent the future formation of visible fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation caused by UV exposure. Photolyase is encapsulated to optimize its penetration into the skin, delivering next-generation anti-aging results that include healthier-looking, more resilient skin with a natural glow. UV rays arent the only thing we need to protect our skin from; were also exposed to a number of other daily factors throughout the year that can cause premature aging. 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 on the skin. Cranberry seed oil is able to absorb blue light before it reaches the skin, minimizing the damage from blue light exposure. Marrubium vulgare extract provides superior anti-pollution defense to limit damage caused by environmental pollutants, protecting skin cells and helping to strengthen the skin barrier. Carnosine is a multitasking dipeptide that protects against both glycation and infrared rays. Glycation is a natural aging process in which dietary sugars react with proteins, such as collagen, transforming them into advanced glycation end products (AGEs) that cannot be renewed, leading to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Advanced Day Ultimate Protect uses carnosine to help inhibit the glycation reaction and keep skin protected from glycation-induced skin aging. Carnosine can also protect skin from infrared rays, which make up around half of the suns rays and are known to be involved in the breakdown of collagen; nourishing squalene and hydrating hyaluronic acid provide skin with long-lasting hydration and smooth lines and wrinkles. How to use Using your fingertips, apply a thin layer of Mutiny to your lips as often as needed. Apply a thick layer at night to act as a nourishing lip mask. Use light, upward motions and let it absorb. Reapply throughout the day as needed, and every 2 hours if in direct sunlight. Perfect for applying over your favorite Medik8 vitamin C serum. Ingredients Advanced UV filters A complex of modern, premium chemical sunscreens carefully selected for their high skin performance, photostability, and skin benefits. Encapsulated photolyase Derived from plankton extract, photolyase is a light-activated DNA repair enzyme that supports the skins natural defense mechanisms against DNA damage caused by UV light. Cranberry seed oil Cranberry seed oil, sustainably sourced from 800,000 recycled blueberries*, is rich in beta-carotene and acts as a natural shield against blue light. Marrubium Vulgare Extract A powerful antioxidant that provides essential protection to shield delicate skin from pollution-induced damage; Carnosine Carnosine, a protective peptide naturally produced in the body, prevents skin-damaging sugars from binding to collagen in a process called glycation. This helps prevent the formation of wrinkles while protecting the skin from damage caused by infrared rays. Squalane Squalane is a nearly skin-like lipid that helps maintain the skins natural barrier, working to hydrate and nourish the complexion. Multi-weight hyaluronic acid With a unique ability to attract and retain more than 1,000 times its own weight in water, hyaluronic acid can draw in moisture, leaving your skin nourished and supple.
