Q&A

I have rosacea and have been recommended to start using mineral based sunscreen due to reactions on my nose. Can you confirm whether this is mineral based?

Thanks for your question! While we don't currently offer a mineral sunscreen within the Medik8 range, we'd always recommend following the advice of your healthcare professional, particularly when managing rosacea or skin sensitivities.

Thank you, as a follow up question is your opinion that a chemical UV protector is better/more effective than a zinc oxide based one?

Hi Fran, please could we ask you to reach out to our team directly at customercare@medik8.com

Hi, is this a zinc oxide mineral based sun screen? If not, are you making one? Does it contain parabens, endocrine disruptors, GMOs, antibiotics?

Hi Fran, our Advanced Day Ultimate Protect SPF50 does not contain zinc-oxide, but instead, chemical UV filters. It does not contain any harmful ingredients you mentioned.

Hello, I love the product, however, just out of curiosity I was just wondering percentage of UVA is blocked (70%? 93?)? Thank you so much for your time.

Hi Paige, Advanced Day Ultimate Protect SPF50 provides 5*/ PA ++++ which is the highest UVA rating. Sadly, no sunscreen is able to block 100% of UV rays from reaching the skin. Even a perfectly-applied SPF 50+ sunscreen only protects against ~98.3% of UVB rays.

Is this ok for oily skin? I’m 67.

Hello Jennifer, Thank you for your question. Our Advanced Day Ultimate Protect™ is ideally recommended for dehydrated and dry skin types. If your skin tends to be on the oily side, we suggest our Advanced Day Total Protect, which offers a more lightweight texture. It's perfect for everyday wear with lower UV protection, making it an excellent option for those who prefer a lighter SPF or have oily skin concerns. Thanks, Medik8 Team
