SUNMAX® OFFERS SUN PROTECTION TAILORED TO DIFFERENT SKIN NEEDS FOR DAILY USE IN EVERY SEASON Solhydra™ technology clinically proven to protect and hydrate Daily sun protection, regardless of the season and type of weather, is important in maintaining good skin condition. However, communicating this to patients is often a challenge. It is estimated that the radiation from the sun is responsible for 90% of skin damage (pigmentation changes, fine lines, and wrinkles) and long term exposure to UVA/UVB rays can leave skin dehydrated, damaged i. However, many patients tend to believe that sun protection is needed only on warm, sunny days and that hydration is necessary only for dry skin types. The SUNMAX® range was specifically developed to offer suncare products tailored to patients’ specific skin care needs. This can help dermatologists and patients with clinical recommendations. A range of tailored products fosters greater patient satisfaction and reduces the risk of nonadherence. SUNMAX®, with Solhydra™ technology, goes beyond sun protection to offer dual action – clinically proven sun protection to help reduce the appearance of premature skin ageing, unique formulations that hydrate and retain the skin’s moisture ii. SUNMAX® sun care products with Solhydra™ technology broad spectrum UV filters work to protect skin from the sun’s harmful ultra-violet (UV) rays, which can cause damage whatever the weather. SUNMAX® with Solhydra™ technology also hydrates and protects skin to help prevent dryness and help keep skin looking healthy. “It is a commonly held belief that our skin only suffers damage when the sun is shining, but the truth is that skin can be negatively affected by sunlight in a wide variety of weather conditions,” said Dr Stephen Makin, Vice President, R&D Skin Health, Stiefel. “Finding a sun care product that not only provides adequate protection, but also meets the needs of your patients’ specific skin types on a day to day basis can be quite a challenge.” Dr Peter Blenkiron, Senior Director, R&D, Skin Health, Stiefel added: “The SUNMAX® sun care range, with Solhydra™ technology, has been specifically tailored to suit individual skin needs and can be recommended with confidence to ensure effective daily sun protection. The products are also designed to offer a positive sensorial experience. This means patients are more likely to enjoy using the product, which drives compliance and in turn offers the best protection against the damaging effects of exposure to the sun, on a daily basis.” The full SUNMAX® range includes: • SUNMAX® Sensitive Gel-Cream: For sensitive skin, this helps minimise the incidence of UV induced allergies. • SUNMAX® Intense: For dry or normal skin, this provides up to 8 hours of hydration. • SUNMAX® Fluid: For oily and combination skin, this is a dry touch, shine-free finish formula that does not clog pores or cause acne. • SUNMAX® Acqua Oil Control: For oily and combination skin, this provides oil control for up to 8 hours. • SUNMAX® Fluid Oil Control: For oily and combination skin, this gives long-lasting oil control. -ENDS- Visit the Stiefel booth (1417) to speak with our team of experts and find out more about the full SUNMAX® range.
