"Sunscreen is now a multi-functional skincare product that offers broad-spectrum UV protection while simultaneously delivering hydration, soothing benefits, and supporting the long-term repair and resilience of your skin."
Most people see sunscreen as only UV protection, but today's formulas do much more. Your daily sunscreen now defends your skin while working to hydrate, soothe, and even repair it over time.
- It Starts With Prevention
Skincare is shifting from "react and repair" to prevention. It's more effective and cheaper to protect skin than to reverse damage. Daily sunscreen is key, offering broad defense against UVA/UVB, pollution, and blue light to preserve collagen and resilience
- Sunscreen That Hydrates
Sunscreen isn't drying; it can be an effective moisturizer. A scientific study showed that SPF lotions with humectants significantly improved hydration, even better than some standalone products. The correct formula can: 1) Keep skin soft and supple. 2) Improve smoothness and moisture balance. 3) Replace your morning moisturizer.
- Repairing the Signs of Damage
Daily sunscreen not only protects but helps skin recover. Long-term use of broad-spectrum SPF can reverse structural sun damage, with some studies showing reduced solar elastosis after 24 months. This is a gradual, cellular-level repair that enables your skin to rebuild strength.
