SkinCeuticals Protect Advanced Brightening UV Defense SPF50 is a facial sunscreen that protects the skin from photo-aging and helps to correct discoloration.
SkinCeuticals Protect Advanced Brightening UV Defense SPF50 is a facial sunscreen that prevents photodamage and helps to reduce hyperpigmentation at the same time. The texture is lightweight and luminous, allowing a pleasant application and a beautiful result on the skin. Suitable for all skin types, the formula offers broad-spectrum protection and is tested for post-procedure use.
More than broad-spectrum filters that prevent discoloration and sun damage, the formula combines actives that help to reduce visible discoloration. A blend of tranexamic acid and niacinamide works to reduce existing hyperpigmentation, contributing to even out the complexion. In addition, mica helps to reflect light, promoting a soft and glowy appearance of the skin. Equally important, the formula is free from fragrance and essential oil. Apply it every day not only to protect your skin from sun damage but also to correct visible discoloration. After each application, the skin looks radiant and is protected with a broad-spectrum shield.
Apply a generous amount of SkinCeuticals Protect Advanced Brightening UV Defense SPF50 onto the skin of the face every day of the year. Apply it after your facial moisturizer and before makeup.

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.
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.
