Institut Esthederm’s custom sun protection
The 2 & 3 sun system means there is protection for every skin type, tailored to sun exposure and your skin’s specific characteristics.
Their unique ecobiological approach helps the skin adapt to the sun by stimulating its natural defenses.
How does this work?
By stimulating melanin, the pigment responsible for tanning and boosting the skin’s natural antioxidant defenses.
Thanks to the levels of sun protection that are tailored to different skin types and sun exposure, Institut Esthederm suncare products promote gradual, even, long-lasting tanning while protecting the skin from photo-ageing.
Choosing the right Institut Esthederm sun protection factor according to sun exposure
- 2-sun protection: for moderate sun exposure (UV index 3 to 6) or for skin that naturally tolerates the sun.
- 3-sun protection: for significant sun exposure (UV index 7 to 10) or for skin that doesn’t tan easily. The skin is perfectly protected and gradually adapts to the sun.
How does our Adaptasun Technology work to ensure an even tan?
Adaptasun technology helps all skin types adapt to the sun, by stimulating and regulating the even distribution of melanin (the pigment responsible for natural tanning).
Products to prevent photo-ageing
The patented GCP (Global Cellular Protection) technology neutralises excess free radicals induced by the solar spectrum (UVA, UVB, visible and infrared light), which accelerates ageing. It also protects against damage to DNA and dermal support fibers, such as collagen and elastin. The Skin is better protected against the signs of ageing (wrinkles and loss of firmness).
A range of ultra-light to ultra-creamy moisturising textures:
Lotion, cream, oil, mist or sun water… Adaptasun sun care products moisturise the skin to leave it feeling comfortable and supple. The skin is also protected against the drying effects of sun exposure.
With Adaptasun, Institut Esthederm helps the skin stay young in the sun, for a radiant, safe tan.
Photo Regul: Reduce and prevent dark spots for an even tan
Photo Regul sun cream is ideal for those who want a glowing, even tan, while minimising the appearance of dark spots.
How does it work?
Adaptasun’s unique sun protection technology promotes tanning, helping the skin adapt to the sun. The Photo Regul technology minimises the appearance and formation of dark spots, for a long-lasting even tan.
These technologies offer two key benefits:
- Healthy skin that tans normally, thanks to better melanin distribution with no risk of uneven pigmentation.
- Existing spots fade and your tan is more even
- The patented GCP (Global Cellular Protection) technology neutralises excess free radicals induced by the solar spectrum (UVA, UVB, visible and infrared light), which accelerate ageing. It also protects against damage to DNA and dermal support fibers, such as collagen and elastin.
