Closing the Gap (Mexoryl 400)

Closing the Gap (Mexoryl 400)

Author: Greg (Co-Founder/MD) & Lara (Head of Content/Education) January 17, 2023 Duration: 18:42

In this episode Greg, Lara, and Dr Ian Webster (Dermatologist) discuss a new and (possibly game-changing) sun care innovation from leading Dermatological brand, La Roche-Posay.

For the past 30 years, Anthelios by La Roche-Posay have developed industry-leading sun protection with invisible formulations. Their science has appeared in numerous publications and peer-review journals, and has proven to be safe, efficacious, and possess excellent skin tolerance even for the most sensitive of skins.

Their latest UV filter innovation, Mexoryl 400, is the result of 10 years of research and development and finally closes the gap on Ultra-Long UVA protection by covering 380-400nm on the UVA spectrum.

At Dermastore, we believe in supporting brands who continually invest in sun protection innovations. With skin cancer detection on the rise globally, we can only hope our small contribution to consistent and evidence-lead education will help slow this concerning trend.
