The technology behind SkinCeuticals Clear Soothing UV Defense

Innovative UV technology: This new sunscreen combines SkinCeuticals’ patented Netlock Technology with hybrid UV filters for higher and more consistent SPF performance that is gentle enough for sensitive skin. The blend of chemical and mineral filters includes 7% zinc oxide, 8% homosalate, 5% octisalate and 5% octocrylene, which work together to protect skin against the damaging effects of sun exposure. The application of Clear Daily Soothing UV Defense is elegant and easy thanks to patented Netlock Technology, which anchors the UV filters in a lightweight, non-greasy emulsion for increased efficacy.

Soothing actives: 2.5% palmitoyl tripeptide-8 and 0.5% bisabolol soothe skin and calm visible redness. This unique combination of actives makes this sunscreen an excellent option for those that are redness-prone or have reactive, sensitive skin. In fact, consumer testing showed that 94% of participants agreed their skin felt soothed, and 82% agreed their visible skin redness was reduced after just one week.*

All-day hydration: 7% glycerin helps to draw and retain moisture in the skin. This powerful humectant helps deliver all-day hydration. In consumer testing, 91% of participants agreed their skin felt smoother after just one week of use.*

How to use SkinCeuticals Clear Daily Soothing UV Defense

To use, apply as the last step in your morning skin care routine. Shake well before use and apply liberally to the face, neck and chest before sun exposure and before applying makeup. Reapply after forty minutes of swimming or sweating, immediately after towel drying and at least every two hours.

*Our protocol: A four-week consumer test was conducted on ninety-two subjects with Fitzpatrick type I to VI, ages 25 to 60 with visible or self-perceived redness or blotchiness, rough skin texture and dull skin. Fifty subjects had previously experienced skin discomfort or reactivity due to sun exposure. SkinCeuticals Clear Daily Soothing UV Defense SPF 50 was applied once daily in the morning as the last step in their skin care routine and reapplied every two hours when exposed to the sun. Efficacy was assessed immediately as well as after week one and week four.
