Combining the broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection of an SPF with the skin-nourishing benefits of a serum, the MEGASHADE Breakout-proof SPF 50 Sunscreen Serum is the new staple of your morning skincare routine. A major plus? Since they're transparent, you're free to wear them all day or night without anyone noticing. (FYI: It's best to leave them on for about six hours or longer for optimal zit-erasing results.) If you're feeling it, you can even dab concealer over your patch so that it matches your skin tone. I have experience with acne and breakouts, so always make sure my daily sunscreen is light, non-comedogenic and ideally oil-free. I have a handful of tried-and-tested favorites, that have never broken me out, and feel comfortable on my skin - all of these have ended up on this list. Behind every great main ingredient is a great supporting ingredient. These four supporting ingredients work with the above list to make MEGASHADE what it is today…

In Matrixyl 3000,Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 is coupled with Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7and the duo works in synergy to reduce wrinkles and give younger looking skin. According to the manufacturer's in-vivo (made on real people) test, applying 3% Matrixyl 3000 twice a day for 2 months resulted in all of the following things: Improved Photoprotection
MGS is formulated with Ferulic Acid, Kakadu Plum and Vitamin E to improve the photo-protection of the skin alongside SPF, which… drum roll… also helps to prevent aging and hyperpigmentation! Regarding skincare and tea tree oil, its most well-known effect is probably being a well established anti-acne ingredient. Multiple studies confirm that TTO is effective against the evil acne-causingbacteria called P. acnes and the effectiveness of 5% TTO gel is comparable to the gold standard anti-acne treatment,5% Benzoyl Peroxidelotion. You need to be a bit more patient with TTO, though, as its effects come slower but also with fewer side effects.So, this one goes out to my work-from-home and stay at home friends. Are you wearing sunscreen? Do you own sunscreen? And if so, how often are you reapplying it???? Rays of sunshine sound cute—but here’s the thing… My hat goes off to dermatologists around the world who work tirelessly to disprove rumors that going in the sun sans sunscreen can clear up acne and reduce hyperpigmentation. That’s a big ol’ no sweetie from us. In terms of clearing up acne, board-certified dermatologist Caroline Robinson, MD has this to say: "Sometimes after sun exposure, surface acne does look less inflamed, even clearer, because the skin dries out and temporarily produces less sebum. But that acne and inflammation still exists under the surface of the skin, and exposing it to the sun without protection can lead to much bigger long-term problems, including a higher risk of scarring, hyperpigmentation, and more persistent breakouts — not to mention skin cancers."

Now, thanks to technological advances, most mineral sunscreens are so sophisticated you won’t even know you’re wearing them. And because they can be combined with hydrating ingredients, pigment and anti-ageing ingredients such as antioxidants without compromising their efficacy, SPF no longer even needs to be a separate layer in your skincare regime. Hyperpigmentation is caused when melanin—a.k.a what gives hair and skin color—is overproduced in certain spots on the skin, causing them to appear darker than the rest of the skin. While there are a few common causes of hyperpigmentation—among them birth control hormones, pregnancy and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from pimples and insect bites—one of the biggest risk factors is sun exposure. When it comes to hyperpigmentation caused by the sun, both UVB and UVA rays can be blamed. While chemical formulas tend to be a popular choice because they’re typically lighter in texture and easier to apply, mineral sunscreens are less likely to clog pores, making them better for sensitive, irritated and blemish-prone skin types. For maximum protection, sunscreen should be regularly reapplied throughout the day. “You should reapply your sunscreen every 2 hours, especially if you are out in the sun, working out or perspiring throughout the day,” says Robinson. There’s much to be said for big floppy hats, sunglasses and just staying out of the sun altogether. However, when it comes to sheer practicality, it’s far easier to commit to the cardinal rule of beauty and all-round skin health of applying SPF daily.

There’s a smorgasbord of consequences for not being vigilant with sunscreen, ranging from the invisible to the aesthetic to, yes, the C word. They include:

Alright, you’ve got a hot date tomorrow, but here’s the problem. There’s a rather large zit sitting happily where your blush is supposed to be applied. Instead of covering the unwelcome visitor with multiple layers of concealer and foundation that’ll end up clogging your pores, opt for the Killa Kit. Unlike chemical formulations, which take around 20 minutes to become effective, mineral sunscreens also get to work as soon as you apply them. The internet can be a #blessed place, but it can also be a quagmire of misinformation, including a few commonly-held misconceptions around acne-prone skin and sun protection. Allow us to bust three of those myths… One of the most adored skincare ingredients, Hyaluronic Acid is molecule that naturally occurs in your skin. HA works (in collaboration with Ceramide NG) as your hydration station; a moisture magnet that retains water stores in your skin to give you a luminous, dewy glow.Friends, this is MEGASHADE, a broad-spectrum SPF50+ serum that’s built for daily protection against that big burning star at the center of the Solar System. It should interest you to know that your new pal was formulated specially for acne-prone skin, too. As is true with a good many things, when it comes to sun damage caused from not wearing sunscreen every day (we’re talking 365; summer, winter, rain or shine!), looks can be deceiving. For anyone that’s had the harrowing experience of seeing what their face looks like through the unforgiving lens of an ultraviolet camera, you’ll know what I mean. For everyone else, there’s this video. Ultraviolet cameras give a close-up look at the effects of sun damage that lies beneath the skin—the unseen effects of years of sun exposure.

Therefore, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 is believed to be able to stimulate collagen production in the skin, and more collagen means fewer wrinkles and younger looking skin.
