Point 1: A new standard in UV protection!

Is a high UV protection factor enough? Not quite. True protection means defending the skin against photoaging as well! Make sure to check the Photoaging Defence Index of a sunscreen. “UV Protector Tone-Up SPF50+/PA++++” is Hera’s first sunscreen featuring SPF50+/PA++++ protection and a Photoaging Defence Index of 70+.

Among the different types of ultraviolet rays, UVA and long-wave UVA penetrate the deepest into the skin and can contribute to photoaging. They are the main culprits behind wrinkles, reduced elasticity and the formation of blemishes!

Hera’s “UV Protector Tone-Up SPF50+/PA++++” is formulated with UV-R PRO™, a next-generation technology designed to combat the effects of photoaging. The technology provides even more effective protection against photoaging by neutralising the oxidative stress caused by deeply penetrating UVA rays.
