More about my Recommendation to you
Sun damage often lingers overnight, so I prioritize recovery in consultations for patients with your history. This Advanced Sun Recovery set features our mineral SPF30 for daytime shielding (superior to chemicals in safety and efficacy), paired with a PM serum for collagen stimulation and a nighttime treatment for hydration. The serum's retinal (boosted by bakuchiol) targets wrinkles gently, while the treatment soothes with Mānuka honey – yielding 92% softer skin in studies. It's my tailored choice for balanced healing; track progress and consult if concerns persist.

The Science of Sun Protection.
Mineral vs Chemical Blocks
Chemical blocks absorb rays, converting to heat that can irritate skin and harm reefs – mineral or ‘physical’ blocks reflect sun rays for immediate, stable, eco-friendly protection without absorption.
Ao goes beyond, delivering repair, hydration, and priming in one clean, reef-safe formula. No trade-offs. Just smarter suncare.
