(20) Face Care Day Protect

(20) Face Care Day Protect is a next-generation day cream that combines an advanced UV filter system with powerful antioxidants to provide comprehensive protection against photoaging, blue light (HEV), and environmental stressors. Its pleasant texture and quick-absorbing feel strengthens the skin barrier, helps prevent moisture loss, and leaves skin feeling soft, comfortable, and visibly protected throughout the day.

Key benefits

• Daily broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB radiation, helping to prevent photoaging and dark spots.
• Defense against blue light (HEV) thanks to highly effective antioxidant carotenoids such as xanthophylls and beta-carotene.
• Strengthens the skin barrier, reducing transepidermal water loss and improving skin comfort.
• Pleasant, non-sticky texture with quick absorption—ideal for everyday use and as a makeup base.
• High tolerance for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
• Octocrylene-free formula and free of microplastics.

Advanced photoprotection technology

The formula integrates modern, highly effective UV filter systems inspired by the well-known Prof. Dr. Steinkraus Sun Protect line. This complex covers the full spectrum of relevant UV for skin aging, helping to minimize the risk of premature wrinkles, sagging, and irregular pigmentation induced by solar radiation.

Antioxidant action and protection against blue light

In addition to sun protection, (20) Face Care Day Protect offers a sophisticated antioxidant shield. Carotenoids such as xanthophylls, extracted from the freshwater alga Tetradesmus obliquus, and beta-carotene neutralize the free radicals generated by both UV radiation and the blue light (HEV) emitted by screens and electronic devices. These actives help preserve the skin’s radiance, evenness, and youthfulness.

Vitamin E and rosemary extract: biomimetic defense

Vitamin E, one of the most important fat-soluble antioxidants for the skin, helps protect the lipids of the skin barrier from oxidative stress, keeping the skin surface more flexible and resistant. Rosemary, a broad-spectrum plant active with a protective cellular effect, acts in a biomimetic way by supporting the skin’s natural defense mechanisms against external aggressors.

Sensory texture and high tolerance

The emulsion has been developed to provide a refined sensory experience: it spreads easily, absorbs quickly, and leaves a comfortable finish with no heavy residue. The formula is designed to be well tolerated by all skin types, including combination and sensitive skin, making it an ideal option as an everyday urban photoprotector.

How to use

• Apply in the morning to clean, dry skin of the face, neck, and décolleté.
• Use as the last step in your skincare routine, after the serum and before makeup.
• Spread a generous, even amount, ensuring uniform coverage.
• In case of prolonged sun exposure, reapply regularly to maintain protection.

Skin type

Formulated for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Especially recommended as a protective daytime cream for skin concerned about photoaging, the appearance of dark spots, and continuous exposure to the blue light emitted by screens.

Ingredients (INCI)

Aqua (Water), Alcohol Denat., (modern broad-spectrum UV filters), vitamin E (Tocopherol), carotenoids such as xanthophylls (derived from the freshwater algae Tetradesmus obliquus), beta-carotene, rosemary extract (Rosmarinus Officinalis), selected emollients and moisturizing agents, together with dermatologically compatible excipients and stabilizers.

The presence of Alcohol Denat. in the formula helps create a light texture, with a slightly astringent effect that helps refine the skin surface and improve the penetration of certain active ingredients. In the concentrations used in the products of Prof. Dr. Steinkraus, this ingredient is kept below the levels that could compromise the integrity of the skin barrier, ensuring high tolerance even on delicate skin.
