Overview
Photoderm Max Brume Solaire SPF50+ is a high-performance dermatological sun protectant. Classified as a broad-spectrum photoprotector, it is designed to shield the skin from the harmful effects of solar radiation. Unlike traditional heavy sunscreens, this “Brume” (mist) provides a lightweight, transparent finish, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
Uses / Indications
Photoderm Max Brume Solaire SPF50+ is indicated for the prevention of skin damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) rays. Its primary uses include:
- Very High Protection: Safeguarding skin that is sensitive or intolerant to sunlight.
- UVA/UVB Defense: Preventing sunburn and long-term cellular damage.
- Outdoor Activity Support: Providing water-resistant protection for individuals engaged in sports or frequent water exposure.
- Skin Health Maintenance: Reducing the risk of premature skin aging and sun-induced hyperpigmentation.
Ingredients
The efficacy of this mist lies in its specialized formulation, which typically includes:
- Chemical UV Filters: A combination of filters (such as Avobenzone and Octocrylene) that absorb and neutralize UV radiation.
- Cellular Bioprotection™ Patent: A unique biological complex that protects skin cells and DNA from oxidative stress.
- Vitamin E: An antioxidant that helps reinforce the skin barrier against environmental aggressors.
The formula is paraben-free, non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores), and highly w
How It Works
Photoderm Max Brume Solaire SPF50+ operates through a dual-action mechanism:
- Surface Defense: The UV filters create a protective screen on the skin’s surface. SPF 50+ indicates a high level of UVB protection against sunburn, while the UVA rating ensures defense against deeper tissue damage.
- Biological Defense: Beyond the surface, the “Cellular Bioprotection” technology works at a cellular level. It helps preserve the skin’s natural immune system and prevents the breakdown of cellular structures caused by the sun’s rays.
Dosage & Administration
To ensure maximum efficacy, Photoderm Max Brume Solaire SPF50+ should be applied consistently:
- Application: Shake well before use. Spray it evenly from a distance of about 20cm from the skin.
- Apply at least 20 minutes before sun exposure.
- Reapplication: Reapply every two hours, or more frequently after swimming, perspiring, or towel-drying.
Note: For facial application, spray into the palms of the hands first and then apply to the face to avoid contact with the eyes.
Possible Side Effects
While generally very well-tolerated, some users may experience:
- Local Irritation: A temporary stinging sensation if the product enters the eyes or broken skin.
- Sensitivity: In rare cases, a localized skin rash or allergic reaction to specific chemical filters may occur.
- Dryness: Rare, but can occur in individuals with extremely sensitive skin.
Precautions & Warnings
- Flammability: This is an aerosol product. Keep away from heat, open flames, and sparks. Do not smoke during or immediately after application.
- Inhalation: Use in a well-ventilated area and avoid deliberate inhalation of the mist.
- Sun Safety: No sunscreen provides 100% protection. Avoid peak sun hours (11 am – 4 pm) and wear protective clothing and hats.
- Infants and Children: Do not expose babies and young children to direct sunlight for extended periods.
