Besides protecting against both harmful UVA and UVB rays, sunscreens today combine the best of both types of sun protection, while providing new improvements that hydrate, control acne, brighten dull skin, and combat excess blue light.
SUPERCHARGED TO HYDRATE, PROTECT AND REPAIR
What makes these sunscreens the miracle workers of our time: new advancements in technology, coupled with high levels of active skincare ingredients that correct specific problems such as acne and dullness, on top of offering higher SPF and broadspectrum protection, without compromising on feel.
Take Japanese skincare brand Meeth for example. Its F Bright UV Base ($70) promises constant hydration and a brightening effect, thanks to its fullerene molecule, used here as a powerful antioxidant. Fullerene is 172 times more powerful than vitamin C, and its discovery won a Nobel Prize in 1996. The winning ingredient is a nanosized molecule that can penetrate deep into skin’s layers easily. Its ability to soak up free radicals slows down ageing and balances oil control, improving skin texture and suppressing melanin production in the process – a plus in a sunblock.
F Bright UV Base also contains another powerful ingredient: pentavitin. The 100 per cent natural and plant-derived hydrator features a composition that is most similar to skin’s own cells, binding itself to the outer layers of skin. It also mimics skin’s own moisture retention. Unlike hyaluronic acid, it doesn’t get washed away and keeps skin hydrated for up to 72 hours.
