SKINUANCE therefore does not use UV filters in its day cream because we pursue the approach of focusing our formulations on the essentials and minimizing them. This means that we use few but highly concentrated active ingredients. At the same time, we avoid additives that are not absolutely necessary. This also applies to UV filters. The daily use of UV filters with facial care would mean a permanent penetration of the skin with filters, even if one is, for example, not exposed to the sun at all or only briefly during the lunch break. For a short time, we also recommend conscious sun exposure to absorb vitamin D. The burden of filters can lead to allergies and resistances. In the worst case, one may eventually not be able to tolerate any UV filters at all.
We therefore recommend supplementing your favorite care as needed and precisely with a sun protection (for example, with the SKINUANCE FLEXIBLE SUN PROTECTION 50+) or applying it over / under the day care.

Preservatives prevent germs and bacteria from settling and multiplying in care products. Unfortunately, very few care products come without preservatives. This is especially true for water-based products, where they are usually indispensable. However, at SKINUANCE, we use as few preservatives as possible in the lowest possible dosage. This is made possible, among other things, by our airless dispensers. These are designed so that the product in the dispenser does not come into contact with the skin or the air. This minimizes contamination compared to cream jars, which come into contact with fingers and air daily. Therefore, we hardly need and use preservatives for our products.

If the skin becomes increasingly flaky and rough with age, feels dry again immediately despite frequent moisturizing, and the skin cream does not absorb, we would recommend a peeling. This allows the outer layer of skin, i.e., the dead skin flakes that still lie on the skin's surface like small "roof tiles", to be gently removed. The dead skin cells only superficially absorb the care product, and the moisture evaporates immediately. The skin cream does not penetrate the skin at all. A gentle peeling helps to remove the blocking "roof tiles", making the skin more receptive to care, smoother, and more even. This way, the moisture serum or moisture care can optimally penetrate the skin and unfold its effect.
For this, either a good enzyme peeling (for example, the SKINUANCE ENZYME CLEANSER & PEELING) or a mild fruit acid cream (FRUIT ACID CREAM) is suitable.

If the skin is very sensitive, heat rash occurs in the sun and allergic reactions to sunscreens happen, the sun protection should be adjusted. For a sunscreen for sensitive skin, we would recommend a high sun protection factor and a light cream texture that does not unnecessarily weigh down the skin and clog the pores. It is important for sensitive skin to use a sunscreen as fragrance-free as possible. Nourishing additives and vitamin E as an antioxidant (free radical scavenger) should ideally also be included. A suitable sunscreen for sensitive skin is, for example, the fragrance-free and light SKINUANCE SUN DEFENCE 50+ sunscreen, which is designed for very sensitive and allergy-prone skin and is also suitable for children's skin from 3 years old.

Serums are considered the stars for the skin. A serum contains about ten times the amount of biologically active ingredients of a cream. It is a concentrate that works faster and more intensely.
