With a host of protective technologies against environmental damage, Advanced Day Total Protect is the ultimate SPF 30 moisturizer for youthful-looking skin. Medik8's carefully selected advanced sunscreen complex is proven to be high-performing, skin-friendly, and photostable—the ultimate combination for advanced protection against sun damage. Moringa extract is a breathable film-forming agent that sits on the skin's surface to provide exceptional defense against pollution, helping to quell free radicals before they can damage the skin. Carnosine is a multitasking dipeptide that protects against both glycation and infrared light. Glycation is a natural aging process in which dietary sugars react with proteins like collagen, transforming them into advanced glycation end products (AGEs) that cannot renew themselves, leading to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Advanced Day Total Protect uses carnosine to help inhibit the glycation reaction and keep skin protected from glycation-induced skin aging. Carnosine may also protect skin from infrared rays, which make up about half of the sun's rays and could play a role in the breakdown of collagen. Finally, Advanced Day Total Protect contains antioxidant theobroma cacao seed extract to mitigate the negative effects of blue light emitted by the sun. How to use As the final step in your skincare routine, apply a generous amount (1/4 teaspoon or 5 pumps) of Advanced Day Ultimate Protect to your face, adding more to your neck and décolletage, avoiding the eye area. Apply with light upward movements and allow to absorb. Reapply throughout the day as needed.

Moringa extract A next-generation antioxidant that forms an urban shield on the skin's surface to prevent damage caused by environmental pollutants. Carnosine Carnosine, a protective peptide naturally produced in the body, prevents skin-damaging sugars from binding to collagen in a process called glycation. This helps prevent the formation of wrinkles while protecting the skin from damage caused by infrared rays. Theobroma cacao seed extract Derived from cocoa, this potent extract protects skin from the harmful effects of blue light while quenching dangerous free radicals.
