SOLAR PROTECTION INDEXES
Evaluating Photoderm M SPF 50+ Brun properties, it can be considered as:

• a very high solar protection (SPF >50+)(1) reinforced against UVA(2)
• sweat resistant(3)

BLUE LIGHT PROTECTION & MELASMA RECURRENCE
Photoderm M SPF50+ Brun provides a protection of 66% against visible light-induced pigmentation.(4)

A study on patients having melasma shows that Photoderm M SPF50+ Brun:

• presents anti-recurrence effect since it significantly decreases modified Melasma Area and Severity Index at D28 (-14.9%***), at D84 (-23.4***) and D140(-34.0%***)(5) vs D0.
• significantly decreases the surface of pigmented skin (-48.8%** at D84 vs D0 and -56.7%*** at D140) (5)
• significantly decreases the pigmentation of melasma skin (+34.7%** of lightening of skin color at D28 vs D0) (5)
• increases homogeneity of skin colour (does not change the skin colour of areas around melasma area and significantly decreases contrast between melasma area and adjacent area) (5,6)

OTHER PROPERTIES
Photoderm M SPF50+ Brun presents immediately a significant mattifying effect (-53%** of shine vs T0) that persists even after 8 hours (-34%* of shine vs T0).(7).

Photoderm M SPF50+ Brun has a noncomedogenic effect (8).

Photoderm M SPF50+ Brun is respectful of aquatic ecosystems, presenting no toxicity on coral, marine algae and daphnia(9).

TOLERANCE
