Primaderm signature technology · Signature antioxidant dipeptide

Carnosine

A shield against the heat rays ordinary sunscreens don't cover.

Carnosine is a naturally occurring dipeptide that neutralises free radicals from sun and pollution, and helps protect the skin from the effects of infrared, the heat rays that reach deep into the skin.

What it is

Two amino acids joined together, a dipeptide found in nature. Here it is used in the XpertSun™ Urban Advanced range and the Glow Up Mist.

What it does

It neutralises free radicals from UV, infrared and pollution, and helps the skin keep its firmness under the sun.

Why it matters

UV filters do not stop infrared. Under a Malaysian sun the heat alone stresses the skin. Carnosine is the answer to that gap.

XpertSun Urban Advanced Light with a drop of its texture
Sun and heat go together. Carnosine covers the part the SPF number doesn't.

The idea, simply

SPF measures light. It says nothing about heat.

More than half of the sun's energy reaching your skin is infrared: the warmth you feel on your face. It goes deeper than UV, and over time it is part of what makes skin look less firm.

Carnosine mops up the free radicals the heat creates. So your sunscreen protects against the light, and Carnosine helps protect against the warmth.

Protected from the light. Protected from the heat.

How deep each ray goes: UVB stays near the surface, UVA reaches the dermis, and infrared (IRA) goes deepest of all.

A little science, made simple

The deeper the ray, the more it can affect firmness.

Primaderm's laboratory tests looked at skin samples with and without Carnosine under infrared.

How it works

Firmness, protected under the heat.

Primaderm's laboratory tests describe how Carnosine helps skin samples keep their firmness under infrared light. Rather than a laboratory figure, what matters to you is the effect: skin that stays firmer-looking under the sun, with an antioxidant that covers heat as well as light.

Who it's for

If your face feels hot before it looks red.

  • Anyone in the sun at midday, on the road or on the pitch
  • Skin that has lost firmness after years of sun
  • Outdoor sports and long drives
  • Those who want their sunscreen to help delay the signs of ageing as well as protect
