We do not recommend "Dermaheal - Sun Screen SPF 50+ PA+++" because it does not provide good UVA protection. UVA sun rays don't burn the skin, but they still lead to photoaging and hyperpigmentation.
Sunscreen filters
This sunscreen uses so-called "chemical", or organic UV filters (organic simply means that their molecules contain atoms of carbon). These filters typically give good sun protection and rarely leave a white cast, but they can be irritating for sensitive skin. These are the sun protection ingredients in this sunscreen: octinoxate 0.35% - 0.75% and amiloxate 0.10% - 0.40%.

A naturally occurring peptide. One of the most studied peptides in dermatology. It is sometimes abbreviated GHK-Cu. Belongs to the class of carrier peptides. It stimulates both synthesis and breakdown of collagen in skin. It is released in skin wounds and inflammation to support healing. It accelerates wound-healing of the skin and can stimulate hair growth. There are preliminary studies that confirm that copper tripeptide can help support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles and decrease inflammation in skin.

What does the product description say?
Under extreme conditions, Dermaheal Sun Screen protects your skin against UVA/UVB and prevents melanin synthesis and fine lines with CG-TGP2. Smooths on with no trace of stickiness. Even your skin tone and texture.
This product contains ingredients (morus alba bark extract) that could help reduce
hyperpigmentation (for example, post-acne marks or age spots) in theory, but there is not enough evidence that
they actually work.
The biggest effect for evening out skin tone in this product comes from sun protection. Sun damage is the main
factor causing age spots, darkening of post-acne marks and other discolorations. This is why sun protection is
the best strategy for maintaining an even skin tone. We, however, do not recommend using this product as a
sunscreen because the protection it offers is not strong enough).
