Overview
Photoderm Max Fluide SPF is a high-performance dermatological sunscreen designed to provide maximum protection against the harmful effects of solar radiation. It belongs to the therapeutic class of topical photoprotectors. Formulated as a lightweight fluid, it is specifically engineered for skin that is highly sensitive or intolerant to sunlight, offering specialized defense beyond standard cosmetic sunscreens.
Uses / Indications
Photoderm Max Fluide SPF is indicated for individuals who require intense protection against ultraviolet (UV) rays. Its primary uses include:
- Prevention of Sunburn: Shielding the skin from acute UV damage.
- Sensitive Skin Care: Providing a safe option for skin types prone to irritation or “sun allergies.”
- Photosensitivity Management: Protecting patients who are using medications that increase sun sensitivity.
- Anti-Aging Support: Minimizing long-term solar damage that leads to premature skin aging and pigmentation spots.
Ingredient
The efficacy of Photoderm Max Fluide SPF is rooted in its patented Cellular Bioprotection™ complex. Key components include:
- UVA/UVB Filters: A synergistic blend of chemical filters that provide broad-spectrum coverage.
- Ectoin and Mannitol: Biologically active ingredients that help preserve the skin’s natural defenses.
- Fluidifying Agents: Ingredients that ensure a non-greasy, “dry-touch” finish upon application.
The formula is fragrance-free, paraben-free, and non-comedogenic (does not clog pores).
How It Works
Photoderm Max Fluide SPF utilizes a dual-action mechanism to safeguard the skin:
- Surface Shielding: The broad-spectrum filters act as a barrier, absorbing and reflecting UVA (aging) and UVB (burning) rays before they can penetrate the skin layers.
- Biological Protection: At the cellular level, the patented complex helps protect the skin’s DNA and reduces oxidative stress. By stabilizing the skin’s immune system, it prevents the cellular damage that occurs even when the skin doesn’t visibly “burn.”
Dosage & Administration
To ensure maximum protection, Photoderm Max Fluide SPF should be applied systematically:
- Initial Application: Apply a generous and even layer to the face and neck 20 minutes before sun exposure.
- Quantity: Using too little product significantly reduces the level of protection.
- Reapplication: Apply every two hours, or more frequently after swimming, perspiring, or towel-drying the skin.
- Texture: Shake the bottle well before use to ensure the fluid is uniformly consistent.
Possible Side Effects
While generally very well-tolerated by sensitive skin, some users may experience:
- Mild Irritation: Occasional redness or a slight stinging sensation if the product gets into the eyes.
- Skin Sensitivity: In very rare cases, a localized allergic reaction to one of the UV filters may occur.
If a persistent rash or severe irritation develops, wash the product off and consult a healthcare provider.
Precautions & Warnings
- External Use Only: Avoid direct contact with the eyes and mucous membranes.
- Infant Safety: Do not expose babies or young children to direct sunlight. Sunscreen should be used as a secondary measure to clothing and shade.
- Peak Hours: Avoid intensive sun exposure between 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM, even when wearing high SPF.
- Storage: Keep the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct heat to maintain the stability of the filters.
