Medik8 Advanced Day Total Protect SPF 30 - 50ml

Don't want to choose between a moisturiser and sun protection in the morning? Medik8 Advanced Day Total Protect SPF 30 (day cream with sun protection) combines broad-spectrum defence against UVA and UVB rays with hydration and antioxidants. It protects exactly what you build up with your vitamin C and retinal: an even, healthy-looking complexion without visible signs of premature ageing.

How it works

The formula contains a combination of UV filters such as Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine and Ethylhexyl Triazone, which together deliver protection across the spectrum. Antioxidants help neutralise free radicals caused by environmental stressors; the formula includes Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (a vitamin C derivative), Carnosine and Ectoin. Sodium Hyaluronate and Glycerin bind moisture in the skin, so the cream hydrates comfortably alongside its protective role.

Texture and use in your routine

The texture is lightweight, absorbs quickly and leaves no white cast, making it an excellent base under make-up. Thanks to the plant oils in the formula, it has a fresh, citrus-herbal character. Apply it as the final step of your morning routine, after your serum. In Medik8's CSA philosophy this is the S: pair it with C-Tetra or C-Tetra Luxe in the morning and use Crystal Retinal at night, finishing with Advanced Night Restore if you wish.

Frequently asked questions

Which step of the CSA routine is this?

This is the S for sunscreen: the final step of your morning routine, after cleansing and vitamin C such as C-Tetra Luxe.

Can I combine it with retinal?

Yes. Use Crystal Retinal at night and this SPF 30 during the day. Sun protection is especially recommended when you use vitamin A.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

It is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. If your skin is very reactive, patch test the formula first.

Advanced Day Total Protect SPF 30 forms a protective filter layer on the skin with ingredients including Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine and Ethylhexyl Triazone, giving broad-spectrum defence against UVA and UVB rays. Antioxidants such as Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Carnosine and Ectoin help neutralise free radicals generated by environmental stressors. At the same time Sodium Hyaluronate and Glycerin bind moisture, keeping skin supple and comfortable. The result is daily protection against the visible effects of UV exposure, completing your anti-ageing routine without an extra heavy layer.

Every morning, apply an even layer to face and neck as the final step of your routine, after cleansing and your vitamin C serum. Massage in gently until fully absorbed and use enough product for full protection. Allow it to settle briefly before applying make-up, and reapply every two hours during prolonged sun exposure.

From the very first application your skin is protected against UVA and UVB rays, with no white cast or sticky finish. Skin feels hydrated and comfortable and looks smooth under make-up. With daily use you visibly support your skin against sun and environmental stressors.
