Medik8 Hydr8 Day for normal to dry skin is formulated with Medik8's unique Pre-SPF® complex containing Ectoin, which protects the skin from solar damage without blocking UV. Ectoin is a natural substance containing strong DNA and cell membrane protectant properties against the damaging effects of UV. Ectoin prevents damage to Langerhans cells, which exercise one of the fundamental roles in the cells’ metabolism. It induces fast formation of Heat-Shock proteins (HSP) under stress, reduces the formation of sunburn cells and reduces the chemical and physical damage to cell membranes.
Thanks to its Retinyl Palmitate content, Medik8 Hydr8 Day shows the ability to trigger collagen synthesis. Retinyl Palmitate is a fat based form of vitamin A, which transforms on the skin into well known anti-ageing active Retinol. Since Retinyl Palmitate loses its potency when exposed to sun light, the formula has been additionally strengthened by broad spectrum UV filters.
