Description
Protect your skin from UV rays, visibly reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles and deeply hydrate the complexion – all at once.
Advanced Day Ultimate Protect is your daily moisturiser and SPF 50+ PA++++ sunscreen in one.
It offers a comprehensive environmental shield against the sun’s damaging, ageing and burning effects as well as air pollution, blue light, infrared damage and glycation (damage to collagen and elastin within the skin). It therefore works to prevent the formation of wrinkles, dark spots, dullness and uneven skin texture.
The formula is also elevated with a next-generation DNA repair enzyme called photolyase (pronounced ‘photo-lye-aze’) which works to support your skin’s natural repair mechanisms following UV exposure. Advanced Day Ultimate Protect is proven to deliver a non-greasy, non-comedogenic, invisible finish on all skin tones* and can be easily applied under makeup.
*Proven via independent consumer study conducted over 7 days on 53 participants, across all skin tones

How To Use
-
Step 1
If you’re new to Advanced Day Ultimate Protect, we recommend a patch test at least 24 hours before first use.
As the last step in your morning skincare routine, apply 5 pumps (¼ teaspoon) of Advanced Day Ultimate Protect in upward strokes to the face, taking care to avoid the eye area. Apply 5 more pumps to the neck and décolletage. Allow to fully absorb.
Step 2
Reapply throughout the day as needed. Apply every 2 hours if in direct sunlight.

The Science Behined 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.
