Daily hydration
How it works
- Advanced Day Ultimate Protect sunscreen is powered by DNA repair enzymes. Exposure to UV rays can cause DNA damage, with the consequent effect on natural processes such as free radical defense mechanisms and collagen production. Photolyase, a light-activated enzyme, supports the skin's natural repair mechanisms to prevent the future formation of visible fine lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation caused by UV exposure. Photolyase is encapsulated to optimize its penetration into the skin, providing next-generation anti-aging results including healthier-looking, more resilient skin with a natural glow.
- UV rays are not the only thing we have to protect our skin from; We are also exposed to a number of other daily factors throughout the year that could cause premature aging.
- Advanced Day Ultimate Protect contains sustainably sourced cranberry seed oil, a natural shield against blue light. Blue light from the sun can cause free radical damage or visible hyperpigmentation in the complexion.Cranberry seed oil is able to absorb blue light before it reaches the skin, minimizing the damage from blue light exposure.
- Marrubium vulgare extract provides superior anti-pollution defense to limit damage caused by environmental pollutants, protecting skin cells and helping to strengthen the skin barrier.
- Carnosine is a multitasking dipeptide that protects from both glycation and infrared. Glycation is a natural aging process in which dietary sugars react with proteins, such as collagen, transforming them into advanced glycation end products (A.G.E.) that cannot be renewed, leading to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Advanced Day Ultimate Protect uses carnosine to help inhibit the glycation reaction and keep skin protected from glycation-related skin aging. Carnosine can also protect the skin from infrared rays, which make up about half of the sun's rays and are known to play a role in the breakdown of collagen; Nourishing squalene and hydrating hyaluronic acid provide skin with long-lasting hydration and smooth fine lines and wrinkles.
How to use
- Using your fingertips, apply a thin layer of Mutiny to your lips, as many times as necessary. Apply a thick layer at night to work as a nourishing overnight lip mask.
- Use light, upward movements and allow it to be absorbed.
-
Reapply throughout the day as needed, and every 2 hours if in direct sunlight.
-
Perfect to apply over your favorite Medik8 vitamin C serum.
Ingredients Advanced Day Ultimate Protect
Advanced UV Filters
A complex of modern and premium quality chemical sunscreens, carefully selected for their high performance on the skin, their photostability and their benefits for the skin.Encapsulated photolyase
Derived from plankton extract, photolyase is a light-activated DNA repair enzyme that supports the skin's natural defense mechanisms against DNA damage caused by UV light.Cranberry Seed Oil
Cranberry seed oil, sustainably sourced from 800,000 recycled blueberries*, is rich in beta-carotene and acts as a natural shield against blue light.Marrubium Vulgare Extract
A powerful antioxidant that provides essential protection to protect delicate skin from pollution-induced damage;Carnosine
Carnosine, a protective peptide that occurs naturally in the body, prevents skin-damaging sugars from binding to collagen in a process called glycation. This helps prevent the formation of wrinkles, while protecting the skin from damage caused by infrared rays.Squalane
Squalane is a nearly skin-identical lipid that helps maintain the skin's natural barrier, working to hydrate and nourish the complexion.
Multi-Weight Hyaluronic Acid
With a unique ability to attract and retain more than 1,000 times its own weight in water, hyaluronic acid can attract moisture, leaving the complexion nourished and supple.

Science
"No sunscreen is capable of blocking 100% of UV rays from the skin. Even a perfectly applied SPF 50+ only protects against ~98.3% of UVB rays[1], leaving a ~1.7% UVB rays that can still affect the skin and have the potential to affect its health - one of the most worrying effects is direct damage to DNA Although our skin naturally contains proteins. Called DNA repair enzymes, which work to limit the damage caused, their number reduces as we age[2] Our solution is to replenish the skin's natural levels of DNA repair enzymes by applying them topically in Advanced Day Ultimate Protect. Encapsulated photolyase helps reinvigorate the skin's natural repair mechanisms,[3] visibly diminishing the signs of DNA damage, including fine lines, wrinkles and discolorations."
