The Skin Diary

Skincare doesn't have to be complicated to be effective.

Two formulations designed to work in synergy over 24 hours - advanced protection by day, proven renewal by night.

Two products. One complete approach to skin ageing.

A screenshot isn't a study.

A headline isn't evidence.

And confidence isn't the same as expertise.

Toxicologist Rani Ghosh explains how fragments of science can quickly become accepted as fact on social media, creating confusion for both consumers and brands alike.

Does your makeup provide enough sun protection on its own? Generally, no.

While some foundations contain SPF, most people do not apply anywhere near the amount needed to achieve the protection stated on the label. However, wearing foundation over your daily SPF can provide an added benefit: pigments in makeup may help protect against visible light, which can be particularly helpful for those managing pigmentation concerns such as melasma.

Your sunscreen remains the essential first step. Foundation is the added layer, not the replacement.

Silky hydration. Invisible protection. A beautifully lightweight finish.

Complete protection in one morning step.

SPF testing tells you the level of UV protection. We wanted to understand what that protection means for the skin itself.

In advanced 3D skin model testing with Professor Mark Birch-Machin at Newcastle University, Age Defence was tested against UV exposure equivalent to 90 minutes of Mediterranean midday sun.

The results showed that Age Defence helped maintain markers of inflammation, cellular senescence and collagen breakdown at baseline levels.

Protection measured beyond SPF.

Pure Science. Proven Results.
