Clear Daily Soothing UV Defense SPF 50 from SkinCeuticals

SkinCeuticals’ latest innovation, Clear Daily Soothing UV Defense SPF 50, is here!

Offering a hybrid blend of mineral + chemical ingredients featuring soothing technology to defend against UV-induced inflammation, you can expect it to calm sensitive skin, reduce redness, and improve skin texture while leaving a hydrating and transparent finish.

WHO IS IT FOR?

Clear Daily Soothing UV Defense SPF 50 offers broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection for all skin types. The hybrid formula combines 7% zinc oxide and chemical filters with patented Netlock™ technology, a unique sunscreen innovation for an even distribution of actives and a light, non-greasy feel on skin.

It soothes and reduces visible redness, increases skin hydration, improves skin texture and protects the skin from sun damage. It is non-comedogenic making it suitable for acne and blemish-prone skin. It is formulated with organic filters to help offset the appearance of a white cast.

*Tip: Make sure to completely rub in the product until it is no longer visible and completely absorbed.

ADVANCED SOOTHING TECHNOLOGY

Hybrid Blend of UV filters

7% Zinc Oxide (mineral filter): A white powder that acts as a UV protective filter that reflects UVA and UVB rays. It also has astringent and anti-inflammatory properties.

+ 8% Homosalate (chemical filter): A synthetic organic sun filter that absorbs UVB radiation. In addition to protecting the skin from the sun’s harmful effects, homosalate is also a good solvent for other sun filters.

+ 5% Octisalate (chemical filter): An oil-soluble organic sun filter that protects the skin from burning UVB rays.

+ 5% Octocrylene (chemical filter): An organic sun filter, octocrylene absorbs UVB radiation, thereby protecting the skin from the sun’s harmful effects, such as skin aging and the risk of skin cancer. It also enables products to be water resistant.

2.5% Palmitoyl Tripeptide-8
Soothes skin sensitivity and helps reduce UVB-induced inflammation, protecting against sun damage. Did you know? Tri-peptides in skincare are used to help reduce signs of aging including fine lines and wrinkles by improving skin’s elasticity.

0.5% Bisabolol
Reduces visible skin redness (erythema) and inflammation.

7% Glycerin
Draws in and retains moisture, thus hydrating and easing discomfort. Glycerin is a powerful humectant with water-binding properties which support in delivering intense hydration. SkinCeuticals only uses vegetable-derived sources of glycerin.

Netlock™ UV Technology
Netlock™ polymer associated with UV filters for consistent SPF performance and a lightweight, non-greasy feel on skin.

The interlocking filters also provide greater resistance to water, sweat, and sand. This increased resistance not only makes the sun protection last longer, but also limits the migration of the product into the aquatic environment.

The result? A sunscreen that delivers broad-spectrum protection with cosmetic elegance.

HOW TO APPLY

1. For optimal absorption, ensure the skin is well moisturized before application.

2. Apply 2-4 pumps to face, neck and decolletage 15 minutes before sun exposure and before applying makeup.

3. The initial white cast is an application guide to ensure every area of the face is covered. After 3-5 minutes, the white cast fades, after which you can apply makeup.

4. Re-apply at least every two hours, or after 40 minutes of swimming or sweating. Re-apply immediately after any towel drying.

POWERFUL SOOTHING RESULTS

Clear Daily Soothing UV Defense SPF 50 was evaluated by over 90 diverse subjects (Fitzpatrick I-VI) with sensitive, sun-reactive skin over 4 weeks.

After 1 Week:

95.7% felt soothed throughout the day
82.9% noticed visible redness reduction
91.3% felt smoother skin

*PROTOCOL: A 4-week consumer test was conducted on 92 subjects with Fitzpatrick I-VI, ages 25-60 with visible or self-perceived redness/blotchiness, rough skin texture, or dull skin. 50 subjects had previously experienced skin discomfort/reactivity due to sun exposure. Clear Daily Soothing UV Defense SPF 50 was applied once daily in the morning as the last step in skincare routine with reapplication every 2 hours when exposed to sun. Efficacy was assessed at immediate, week 1, and week 4 patients.
