Is a high UV protection factor enough? Not quite. True protection means defending the skin against photoaging as well! Learn more about Hera’s photoaging defence technology.

UVA & long UVA: UV rays that reach deep into the skin

UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin and, with repeated daily exposure, increase skin stress factors, which are known to contribute to photoaging.
