Age-Defying Moisturiser with Photolyase SPF 50+ | PA++++

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.
