Facial sunscreen to prevent sun spots with colour pigments

UV light is the main cause of sun-induced skin damage, but high-energy visible (HEVIS) light can also induce free radicals that cause further stress to skin. Sunlight triggers an increase in melanin production which may lead to hyperpigmentation concerns such as sun spots. Eucerin Sun Pigment Control Tinted Light SPF50+ is an everyday facial sunscreen for all skin types that helps to prevent sun-induced hyperpigmentation. The Advanced Spectral Technology combines broadband and photostable UVA/UVB filters(1) for very high UV protection with Licochalcone A to neutralise free radicals caused by UV and HEVIS light. The anti-pigment sunscreen also includes Glycyrrhetinic Acid which supports skin’s own DNA repair mechanism. The colour pigments included display a light tint and achieve a dual effect

  • Immediately covers skin imperfections to promote a more even and unified skin tone
  • Provides additional defence against HEVIS-induced hyperpigmentation

The formula is further enriched with Thiamidol, an effective and patented ingredient that acts at the root cause of hyperpigmentation. It visibly reduces dark spots over time and, when used regularly, prevents their re-appearance. Eucerin Sun Pigment Control Tinted Light SPF50+ has a pleasant light texture that absorbs quickly and is clinically and dermatologically proven to be well tolerated, even by sensitive skin.

(1) Meeting the high standards for UVA and UVB protection defined by Cosmetics Europe. The levels of UVA protection are higher than the EU recommendation.

Clinical Formula

Licochalcone A

Licochalcone A is a powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing ingredient. It is derived from the root of the Chinese Licorice plant (Glycyrrhiza Inflata) which uses natural compounds to protect its cells from excessive sunlight. When used in skincare products, Licochalcone A works to reduce inflammation and neutralise free radicals that negatively influence skin cells and accelerate the ageing process. It helps to protect the deeper epidermal skin layers from sun-induced effects.

Glycyrrhetinic Acid

Glycyrrhetinic Acid is derived from the roots of the Chinese Licorice plant − Glycyrrhiza Glabra − and is known for its antioxidant and skin-soothing properties. It helps to protect the skin cells in the deeper epidermal layers from harmful UV-induced free radicals and supports skin´s own DNA repair mechanism.

Thiamidol

Thiamidol is a patented ingredient, known to fight hyperpigmentation acting at its root cause. It works by inhibiting the human tyrosinase, the key enzyme in melanin production. Hyperpigmentation can be the result of different causes, e.g. sun-induced pigment spots, post-acne marks or age spots. Key benefits are:

Reduction of Hyperpigmentation: By effectively inhibiting tyrosinase, Thiamidol decreases melanin synthesis, leading to a visible reduction in dark spots and an even skin tone.

Works on all skin types: Thiamidol is dermatologically tested and suitable for all skin types, including dry, oily, combination, normal and sensitive skin. It works for skin of any ethnicity or age and thus is effective on all skin types and tones.

Fights post-acne marks: Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation happens when skin is inflamed or injured, for example because of acne. The impacted area is left darkened and hyperpigmented despite having otherwise healed. Thiamidol addresses these areas resulting in an even skin tone.

FAQ

How do I know which SPF to use?

Sunscreens are available in four different levels of protection: low (factor 6 to 10), medium (15 to 25), high (30 to 50) and very high (50+). The higher the protection factor the better your skin is protected, but it’s important to apply the product thoroughly (be careful not to miss any bits) and to reapply it generously every two hours.

What is the difference between UVA and UVB rays?

UVA rays penetrate the deeper layers of skin. They stimulate the production of free radicals in the skin which cause oxidative stress and can lead to indirect DNA damage (where the free radicals modify cellular DNA over time). UVA rays are most commonly associated with premature skin ageing. They can also trigger sun allergies such as Polymorphous Light Eruption (PLE). UVB rays can also provoke allergies, but to a lesser degree. 
 
UVB rays provide the energy your skin needs to make Vitamin D and stimulate the production of melanin which is responsible for tanning. They don’t travel as deeply as UVA rays, penetrating only the outermost layers of skin, but they cause more immediate damage such as sunburn. UVB rays are directly absorbed by cellular DNA which can lead to skin diseases such as actinic keratosis and skin cancer. 
 
Both types of UV can induce hyperpigmentation and may contribute to conditions such as sun spots (also known as age spots). 

What is high-energy visible light and why does my skin need to be protected against it?

The sunlight spectrum consists of UV, visible and infrared light. Visible sunlight can be detected by the human eye, while the others remain invisible. Part of this visible spectrum has a high energy level and is known as high-energy visible light. It is also referred to as HEVIS light, HEV Light, HEVL and sometimes ‘blue light’ or ‘blue violet light’ 
 
Like UVA rays, HEVIS light penetrates the deeper layers of skin and can generate free radicals. These free radicals are one of the main causes of photoageing (premature skin ageing caused by the sun) and can also trigger hyperpigmentation.
 
Many modern sunscreens offer effective protection against UVA and UVB rays, but we recommend that you look out for products that also defend against the negative effects of HEVIS light.  

Why should I integrate sun face care into my daily routine?

Facial skin is more sensitive to UVA/UVB radiation and HEVIS light than skin on the rest of the body as it is exposed to sun all year round. Sun protection can help you avoid the cellular DNA damage caused by UV, photoageing (premature ageing caused by the sun) and hyperpigmentation. It is important to protect facial skin whenever it is exposed to the sun.

    Disappointing
    Wanted to love this due to it helping with pigmentation but it congeals and pills badly with skincare even after letting my skincare soak in. Contacted Eucerin who said to not use so much skincare and use less of the spf which doesn’t sit well with me as you are supposed to use 2 fingers amount to get good protection so this is not one for me unfortunately. Really disappointing. Quite a pale colour too and mat coverage.

    My experience
    I personally find this to be an excellent product, it applies very well and even , easily absorbed and gives me a light coverage. My skin tone is light medium and I tan easily, I used this every day in Spain for two weeks in July and did not burn once , I have continued to use this every day and will continue to purchase

    Great spf with reasonable coverage.
    Pleasantly pleased with this, I normally buy without tint bought the tint version as other out of stock. This is great for no make up days provides sufficient coverage enough to wear without make up on top. The light tint great for fair skin. Absorbs well no white thick residue look other tinted high factor products. Will buy again. Good texture
