KEY INGREDIENTS
Advanced UV Filters
A complex of premium chemical sun filters, carefully selected for their high performance, skin-friendly benefits and stability (effectiveness) in sunlight.
DNA Repair Enzyme (Encapsulated Photolyase)
Derived from plankton extract, photolyase is a light-activated DNA repair enzyme that helps to repair the visible ageing effects of UV rays following exposure.
360° Environmental Shield
An innovative combination of sustainably-sourced blueberry seed oil, marrubium vulgare (pronounced ‘mar-RUBE-ee-um vool-gah-ray’) extract and carnosine (pronounced ‘CAR-na-seen’) which works to protect against the effects of environmental stressors.
Squalane
An almost skin-identical lipid which helps to support the natural skin barrier by nourishing the complexion.
Multi-Weight Hyaluronic Acid
Unlike many other hyaluronic acid serums, Hydr8 B5 Intense uses multiple molecular weights of hyaluronic acid (small, medium and large), to distribute deep hydration evenly throughout the skin’s many layers. This leaves the complexion visibly nourished and supple
THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE FORMULA
Sadly, no sunscreen is able to block 100% of UV rays from reaching the skin. Even a perfectly-applied SPF 50+ sunscreen only protects against ~98.3% of UVB rays.* This leaves ~1.7% of UVB rays with the potential to reach the skin and impact skin health. One of the most concerning effects being direct DNA damage. Although our skin naturally contains proteins called DNA repair enzymes (which work to limit the damage), these proteins deplete as we age.** Medik8’s solution is to replenish the skin’s natural levels of DNA repair enzymes by applying them topically with Advanced Day Ultimate Protect, diminishing visible signs of DNA damage such as fine lines, wrinkles and discolouration.
