Avène Sunsimed KA Actinic Keratosis 80ml is a medical device that offers UV and blue light protection, tailored for skin prone to actinic keratosis.

Product Description

Avène Sunsimed KA Actinic Keratosis 80ml is specifically formulated to provide maximum protection for vulnerable skin that is prone to actinic keratosis or at risk of developing skin cancer. Designed to meet the needs of even the most sensitive skin conditions, this product offers a high level of protection, also being suitable for patients undergoing oncological treatments, photodynamic therapy, or fluorouracil treatments. The product boasts the TriProtect complex, which includes TriAsorB, Tinosorb S, Uvinul A+, Uvinul T150, and pre-tocopheryl. These ingredients work together to shield the skin from UV rays and blue light up to 450 nm. The addition of hyaluronic acid provides deep hydration, ensuring the skin remains moisturized for up to 8 hours. Moreover, Physol K, an emulsifying agent, ensures the product is evenly and homogeneously applied for optimal sun protection.

The product's high level of protection also contributes to protection against DNA damage, maintaining 100% of the skin's capital for repairing these damages. With 24-hour remanence and the ability to intensely hydrate the skin, this product is an essential skincare product for those with increased sun sensitivity due to medical conditions or treatments.

FAQs

In this section we answer frequently asked questions about Avène Sunsimed KA Actinic Keratosis 80ml (2.70floz)

What's the difference between mineral and chemical sunscreens?

Sunscreen gets its protective power from ingredients called sun filters, which fall into two groups. "Mineral" is the common name for inorganic filters, of which there are only two: zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. "Chemical" is the common name for organic filters, which are carbon-based compounds and cover multiple different ingredients. A mineral sunscreen uses only inorganic filters, a chemical sunscreen uses only organic filters, and a sunscreen that combines both is known as a hybrid.

Both types of filters mainly protect the skin by absorbing UV radiation. Mineral filters, along with a few organic ones, also reflect a small portion of it.

What is the highest sunscreen SPF?

SPF measures protection against UVB radiation. In the EU, the highest SPF on a cosmetic sunscreen label is SPF50+, which corresponds to the "very high protection" category and is used when the measured SPF is 60 or higher.

Some sunscreens, usually designed for specific skin conditions, are classified as medical devices rather than cosmetics, and these can show higher values, such as SPF100.
