Advanced Day Ultimate Protect sunscreen is powered by DNA repair enzymes. UV exposure can cause DNA damage, impacting natural processes such as free radical defense mechanisms and collagen production. Photolyase, a light-activated enzyme, supports the skin's natural repair mechanisms to prevent the future formation of visible fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation caused by UV exposure. Photolyase is encapsulated to optimize its penetration into the skin, delivering next-generation anti-aging results that include healthier-looking, more resilient skin with a natural glow. UV rays aren't the only thing we need to protect our skin from; we're also exposed to a host of other daily factors throughout the year that could cause premature aging. Advanced Day Ultimate Protect contains sustainably sourced cranberry seed oil, a natural shield against blue light. Blue light from the sun can cause free radical damage or visible hyperpigmentation on the complexion. Cranberry seed oil is able to absorb blue light before it reaches the skin, minimizing damage from blue light exposure. Marrubium vulgare extract provides superior anti-pollution defense to limit damage caused by environmental pollutants by protecting skin cells and helping to strengthen the skin barrier. Carnosine is a multitasking dipeptide that protects against both glycation and infrared. Glycation is a natural aging process where dietary sugars react with proteins, such as collagen, transforming them into advanced glycation end products (AGEs) that cannot be renewed, leading to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Advanced Day Ultimate Protect uses carnosine to help inhibit the glycation reaction and keep skin protected from glycation-induced skin aging. Carnosine may also protect the skin from infrared rays, which make up around half of the sun's rays and are known to be involved in the breakdown of collagen; Nourishing squalene and hydrating hyaluronic acid provide long-lasting hydration to your skin and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. How to use: Apply a thin layer of Mutiny to your lips with your fingertips, as often as needed. Apply a thick layer at night to act as a nourishing overnight lip mask. Use light, upward motions and allow to absorb. Reapply throughout the day as needed, and every 2 hours if in direct sunlight. Perfect for layering over your favorite Medik8 Vitamin C serum. Ingredients Advanced UV Filters A complex of modern, premium chemical sunscreens, carefully selected for their high performance on skin, photostability and skin benefits. Encapsulated Photolyase Derived from plankton extract, Photolyase is a light-activated DNA repair enzyme that supports the skin’s natural defense mechanisms against DNA damage caused by UV light. Cranberry Seed Oil Sustainably sourced from 800,000 recycled blueberries*, Cranberry Seed Oil is rich in beta-carotene and acts as a natural shield against blue light. Marrubium Vulgare Extract A potent antioxidant that provides essential protection to shield delicate skin from pollution-induced damage; Carnosine Carnosine, a naturally occurring protective peptide in the body, prevents skin-damaging sugars from binding to collagen in a process called glycation. This helps prevent wrinkles from forming, while protecting your skin from infrared damage. Squalane Squalane is a near-skin-identical lipid that helps maintain your skin’s natural barrier, working to hydrate and nourish your complexion. Multi-Weight Hyaluronic Acid With a unique ability to attract and retain over 1,000 times its own weight in water, hyaluronic acid can attract moisture, leaving your complexion nourished and supple.
