Sun protection is more than just a daily routine – it’s a vital step in maintaining healthy, youthful skin. The pHformula U.V. Protect SPF50+ PRO DEFENCE3 range combines innovative ingredients to provide comprehensive defence against environmental aggressors. Let’s explore what makes these products exceptional.
U.V. Protect SPF50+ PRO DEFENCE3
R1 100.00
Ideal for: Those seeking invisible, lightweight sun protection.
This advanced sunscreen offers triple protection against ultraviolet radiation (UVR), blue light (BL), and infrared (IR) radiation. Its invisible shield absorbs quickly, making it perfect for daily use without leaving a residue.
Key ingredients and benefits:
- UV-Protect Complex: A blend of UVA and UVB filters, including butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane and bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine, providing broad-spectrum protection against harmful rays.
- BL-Protect: Targets inflammation caused by blue light exposure, inhibits reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and stimulates collagen synthesis to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
- IR-Protect: Combats IR-induced damage by reducing inflammation, improving hydration, and maintaining dermal structure to prevent wrinkle formation.
- Geno-Revert: A potent antioxidant that neutralises ROS, protects keratinocytes during blue light exposure, and enhances DNA repair processes.
- Skin Antiox Complex: A stabilised form of vitamin E that scavenges peroxyl radicals, accelerates skin repair, and preserves skin barrier integrity.
- Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil: Rich in antioxidants like vitamin E, γ-oryzanol, and ferulic acid, it provides emollient properties and reduces skin redness caused by environmental factors.
U.V. Protect Colour SPF50+ PRO DEFENCE3
R1 280.00
Ideal for: Individuals desiring sun protection with a touch of colour.
This tinted sunscreen offers the same comprehensive protection as its untinted counterpart, with the added benefit of a natural-looking tint to even out skin tone.
Key ingredients and benefits:
- Coloured Photo-Shield Fluid: Provides a natural, even finish while protecting against UVR, BL, and IR.
- Triple DNA Revert Activity: Acts as an antioxidant, combating immediate and delayed cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) to protect DNA.
- Five-Fold Antioxidant Protection: Combines UV-Protect, BL-Protect, Skin Antiox Complex, Geno-Revert, and Oryza Sativa Bran Oil to defend against photoageing.
- Redness Reduction: Promotes a reduction in UV-induced redness and supports skin barrier integrity.
Application tips for optimal protection
- Apply Generously: Use approximately 2 mg/cm² of product, equivalent to two thin lines of sunscreen on your index and middle fingers, to cover the face adequately.
- Timing is Key: Apply 20–30 minutes before sun exposure to allow the product to absorb properly.
- Reapply Regularly: Reapply every 2–3 hours, especially after sweating, swimming, or towel drying, to maintain effective protection.
- Daily Use: Incorporate into your morning skincare routine, even on cloudy days, to protect against incidental sun exposure.
