Medik8 Advanced Day Ultimate Protect is a daily moisturiser with a high level of sun protection: SPF 50+ PA++++, to prevent sun-induced premature signs of skin ageing. Boosted by DNA repair enzymes. Exposure to UV rays can result in DNA damage, with a resulting effect on natural processes such as free radical defence mechanisms and collagen production. Photolyase, a light-activated enzyme, supports the skin's natural repair mechanisms to prevent the future formation of visible fine lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation caused by UV exposure. The photolyase is encapsulated to optimise penetration into the skin, delivering next-generation anti-ageing results that include healthier-looking and more resilient skin with a natural glow.

How to use Medik8 Advanced Day Ultimate Protect

1. As the last step in your skincare routine, apply a liberal amount (¼ teaspoon) of Advanced Day Ultimate Protect to the face, adding more for the neck and décolletage, avoiding the eye area.
2. Use light, upward strokes and allow to absorb.
3. Reapply throughout the day as needed, and every 2 hours if in direct sunlight. 
4. Perfect for layering over your favourite Medik8 vitamin C serum.

Key Ingredients

• Advanced UV Filters: A complex of premium, modern chemical sun filters carefully selected for their high performance on the skin, photostability and skin friendly benefits.
• Encapsulated Photolyase: Derived from plankton extract, photolyase is a light-activated DNA repair enzyme which supports the skin’s natural defence mechanisms against DNA damage caused by UV light.
• Blueberry Seed Oil: Sustainably sourced from 800,000 upcycled blueberries, blueberry seed oil 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: A protective peptide that is naturally produced in the body, carnosine blocks skin-damaging sugars from binding to collagen in the skin in a process called glycation. This helps to prevent the formation of wrinkles, while shielding skin from infrared damage.
• Squalane: Is an almost skin-identical lipid that helps to support the natural skin barrier, working to moisturise and nourish the complexion.
