Bioderma Photoderm AR Tinted Cream SPF50+

Product Description and Benefits

Bioderma's Photoderm AR Tinted Cream offers a dual-action approach: it provides very high-level sun protection while actively working to soothe and reduce skin redness. The "AR" in its name stands for "Anti-Redness," highlighting its targeted benefits.

Key benefits include:

• Very High Sun Protection: It offers very high SPF50+ protection against both UVA and UVB rays, thanks to the patented "SUN ACTIVE DEFENSE" technology. This technology, combined with a unique blend of filters, not only protects the skin from sunburn but also reinforces the skin's natural defense mechanisms against the damaging effects of UV radiation, helping to prevent photoaging.

• Anti-Redness Action: The product contains Bioderma's patented Rosactiv™ complex, which is specifically formulated to act on the factors that cause the dilation and weakening of the skin's micro-vessels, a primary source of redness. This helps to soothe the skin, reduce the appearance of existing redness, and prevent new flare-ups.

• Soothing Properties: The formula is enriched with ingredients like Enoxolone, a derivative of licorice, which provides an instant soothing effect on irritated skin, further reducing discomfort and redness.

• Tinted and Unifying: It features a natural, unifying tint that helps to immediately camouflage redness and even out the complexion. This makes it an excellent choice for daily wear, providing a flawless base without the need for additional foundation.

• Hydrating: The cream is formulated to provide up to 8 hours of hydration, keeping the skin comfortable and supple.

• High Tolerance: It is non-comedogenic, fragrance-free, and tested under dermatological and ophthalmological control to ensure very good skin and eye tolerance. It is also water-resistant.

Ingredients

The key active ingredients in this formula are:

• Rosactiv™ Complex: A patented complex that works to reduce and prevent skin redness.

• Enoxolone: A soothing ingredient that instantly calms the skin and reduces irritation.

• SUN ACTIVE DEFENSE Patent: A combination of UV filters and biological protection that reinforces the skin's self-defense capabilities. The filters include a blend of chemical and mineral filters (e.g., Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol [nano], Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Octocrylene, and Titanium Dioxide) for broad-spectrum protection.

• Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E): An antioxidant that helps protect the skin from oxidative stress caused by sun exposure.

• Iron Oxides (CI 77492, CI 77491, CI 77499): Mineral pigments that provide the natural, unifying tint.

How to Use
