HOW IT WORKS

With a host of protective technologies against environment damage, Advanced Day Total Protect is the moisturiser with sun protection for youthful-looking skin. 

Medik8’s carefully chosen complex of advanced sunscreen filters are proven to be high-performing, kind to skin and photostable: the best combination for advanced protection against sun damage.

Moringa extract is a breathable film former that sits on the skin surface to provide exceptional anti-pollution defence, helping to quench free radicals before they can damage the skin.

Carnosine is a multi-tasking dipeptide which helps protect from both glycation and infrared light. Glycation is a natural ageing process in which dietary sugars react with proteins such as collagen, transforming them into advanced glycation end-products (A.G.E.s) that cannot be renewed, which leads to fine lines and wrinkles. Advanced Day Total Protect uses carnosine to help inhibit the glycation reaction and keep skin protected from glycation-derived skin ageing. Carnosine can also protect the skin from infrared rays, which make up around half of the sun’s rays and could play a part in the breakdown of collagen. 

Finally, Advanced Day Total Protect features antioxidant theobroma cacao seed extract to mitigate the negative effects of free-radicals emitted from the environment.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND

COCOA SEED EXTRACT

Environmental protection is provided by theobroma cacao seed extract, an ingredient sustainably sourced from Peru. The extract is derived from a rare, premium variety of cocoa: criollo porcelana, often referred to as the world’s most expensive chocolate. Containing cocoa peptides and saccharides, the cocoa extract helps to maintain the skin’s photoreceptors while tackling harmful free radicals to prevent damage.

HOW TO USE

As the last step in your skincare routine, apply a liberal amount (1/4 teaspoon or 5 pumps) of Advanced Day Total Protect to the face, adding more for the neck and decolletage, avoiding the eye area.

Use light, upward strokes and allow to absorb.

Reapply throughout the day as needed.
