Dermalogica PowerBright Moisturizer SPF50 50ml

Day cream with SPF50 against pigmentation spots with niacinamide and brown algae

Sunlight is the main cause of pigmentation spots. Even on cloudy days or during short outdoor exposure, UV radiation penetrates into the deeper skin layers and activates melanin production there. For those working towards an even skin tone, a high-quality daily SPF is therefore not an option but a foundation.

The PowerBright Moisturizer SPF50 combines broad-spectrum sun protection with active brightening and hydrating ingredients in one lightweight day cream. Niacinamide works to even out skin tone, brown algae protects against oxidative damage from air pollution, and hyaluronic acid provides long-lasting hydration. The formula absorbs quickly and leaves a natural, radiant finish without white cast — also suitable for melanin-rich skin.

Advantages

• Protects with SPF50 broad-spectrum against UVA and UVB radiation
• Prevents new pigmentation spots and evens skin tone with niacinamide
• Protects the skin against oxidative stress caused by air pollution
• Provides long-lasting hydration with hyaluronic acid and safflower oil oleosomes
• Light, non-greasy texture without white cast, suitable for all skin tones

Active ingredients

SPF50 broad-spectrum filter system: The combination of octocrylene (8%), homosalate (5%), avobenzone (3%), and octisalate (3%) offers very high protection against both UVA and UVB radiation. This chemical filter system absorbs invisibly into the skin and leaves no white residue, an important advantage for darker skin tones where mineral filters often leave a grayish cast.

Niacinamide (vitamin B3): Reduces the transfer of melanin to the upper skin cells, preventing the formation of pigmentation spots. Additionally, niacinamide strengthens the skin barrier, regulates sebum production, and soothes mild redness — a valuable property in a day cream that stays on the skin all day.

Laminaria Digitata (brown algae): A powerful marine antioxidant that protects the skin against free radicals caused by air pollution and fine dust. Especially relevant for those who spend a lot of time in urban environments, where pollution is an underestimated cause of pigmentation and premature skin aging.

Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate) & Glycogen: This duo binds moisture in the skin and strengthens the natural moisture barrier. Glycogen is a plant-based polysaccharide that nourishes the skin at the cellular level and reduces the appearance of fine lines by making the skin plumper and smoother.

Safflower Oleosomes (Carthamus Tinctorius): An innovative plant-based hydration system that retains moisture and nutrients and releases them gradually throughout the day. It provides the silky, non-greasy texture that characterizes this moisturizer.

Licorice Root & Bisabolol: Two soothing plant extracts that reduce redness and sensitivity. Essential in a day cream that, besides sun protection, also works to even out skin tone, as a calm skin is less prone to post-inflammatory pigmentation.
