Bioderma Photoderm Spot-Age Anti-Dark Spot Gel-Cream SPF50+ -40ML

Description

The Bioderma Photoderm Spot-Age Anti-Dark Spot Gel-Cream SPF50+ (40ml) is a high-technology sunscreen specifically formulated to combat photoaging (skin aging caused by sun exposure), reduce existing dark spots, and prevent new ones from forming. It offers very high broad-spectrum protection along with active ingredients known for their anti-aging and brightening properties.

Long Description:

Sun exposure is the leading cause of premature skin aging, leading to wrinkles, loss of firmness, and the appearance of dark spots. The Bioderma Photoderm Spot-Age Anti-Dark Spot Gel-Cream SPF50+ is a revolutionary solar product that goes beyond basic sun protection. In a convenient 40ml size, it’s designed for daily use on the face, neck, and décolleté for adults, particularly those concerned about existing dark spots and signs of photoaging.

At its core is SUN ACTIVE DEFENSE technology, an innovative approach from Bioderma’s parent company, NAOS. This technology doesn’t just rely on a high concentration of UV filters; instead, it combines a robust system of broad-spectrum UV filters (UVA/UVB) with patented biological protection. This internal biological protection enhances the skin’s natural self-defense capabilities, guarding against the biological impacts of UVA rays, visible light (HEVL), infrared radiation (IR), and pollution – all known contributors to skin damage and aging. This comprehensive shield helps to maintain long-term skin health.

Beyond superior sun protection, the Photoderm Spot-Age is enriched with a powerful blend of dermatologically recognized active ingredients:

• Highly Stable Vitamin C (Ascorbyl Glucoside): A stable derivative of Vitamin C, it provides strong antioxidant protection against free radicals generated by sun exposure and pollution. Crucially, it has a brightening action that helps to reduce existing dark spots and prevent the appearance of new ones by influencing melanin production. It also stimulates collagen synthesis, improving skin firmness and elasticity.
• Vitamin E (Alpha-Tocopherol): Present in its most natural and active form, Vitamin E is a potent antioxidant. It blocks radical reactions, protecting cell membranes and limiting the effects of photoaging on the skin.
• Centella Asiatica: This botanical extract is renowned for its regenerative properties. It helps to prevent damage to the dermis and actively promotes skin regeneration, contributing to improved skin firmness and elasticity, and helping to reduce wrinkle depth.

The gel-cream texture is light, non-sticky, and invisible upon application, making it an excellent base for makeup. It provides up to 8 hours of hydration, ensuring skin remains comfortable throughout the day. It boasts very good skin and eye tolerance, is non-comedogenic, and is formulated to be water-resistant, heat-resistant, and resistant to high humidity, ensuring protection even in challenging conditions.

Regular use of Bioderma Photoderm Spot-Age helps to visibly reduce the depth of wrinkles, increase skin firmness and elasticity, and significantly diminish the appearance of dark spots, revealing a more youthful, even, and radiant complexion.

Prescription/How to Use:

1. Daily Application: Apply daily to the face and neck, and if desired, to the décolleté.
2. Generous Amount: Apply evenly and generously before sun exposure (reducing the amount of product lowers the level of sun protection). A general guideline is two finger-lengths for the face and neck.
3. Alone or After Moisturizer: Can be used alone or after your regular daily moisturizer.
4. Reapply Frequently: Reapply frequently and generously to maintain protection, especially after sweating, swimming, or towel drying. A rule of thumb is every 2 hours during prolonged sun exposure.
5. For Best Results (Spot Treatment): For existing dark spots, Bioderma sometimes recommends combining with other targeted treatments (like serums) from their range or consulting a dermatologist for a personalized regimen.
