Photo-Repair Sunscreen

All Skin Types

Description Summary How to use Key Ingredients Works Well With

Lamelle Helase 50 is a DNA repair sunscreen that has the ability to not only prevent sun damage but to also repair damaged DNA, it protects the skin from the harmful effects of the full solar radiation spectrum including Visible Light and Infrared radiation. Suitable for all skin types except very oily skins.

Key ingredients include UVA and UVB filters that protect against radiation. AhR inhibitors protect against skin ageing by preventing inflammation, and by reducing the immunosuppression of the skin which if not controlled can lead to photo-lesions and skin cancer. Photolyase enzyme derivatives repair direct DNA damage that is caused by UVB, while OGG-1 Enzyme antagonist protects against indirect DNA damage caused by UVA. TRPV1 receptor antagonists protect against Infrared Radiation, especially the IRB and IRC, by preventing excessive heat and inflammation in the skin which can lead to ageing due to enzyme activation. Also protects against Visible Light which includes High Energy Visible Light (HEVL) which can cause pigmentation in darker skin types. Pycnogenol a potent antioxidant protects again free radicals produced by UVA and absorbs some UVB while suppressing inflammation.

Dr Webster’s Recommendation: Lamelle Helase 50 is one of the few products available on Dermastore® that is able to protect skin from the entire solar radiation spectrum (UVB, UVA1, UVA2, Visible Light, and Infrared) and help repair damaged DNA. In real-world practicality, it is a very effective broad-spectrum sunscreen that repairs DNA damage, thereby helping to prevent the formation of skin cancer and skin ageing. Research has shown that those with darker skin types, who have prolonged exposure to screens such as cellphones, tablets or computers, have an increased risk of pigmentation as these devices produce High Energy Visible Light (HEVL) which lies within a narrow band in the Visible Light spectrum.

I don’t have sensitive skin albeit it is rather on the dry side. I put this cream on in the morning only to completely break out by the evening. Lots of little pimples almost like a rash everywhere. I never break out. I was stupid enough to try it again a week later- my skin instantly flared up again. Lots of little bumps and very red and irritable. Seems I’m allergic to it? Not to mention it’s super thick and super greasy even for me. A little goes a long way but I still wouldn’t recommend it. Looks like my 6 year old will have some expensive sunblock added to his toiletries.

I was really excited to use this but unfortunately, it isn’t for me. My skin isn’t oily but more of a dry/combination skin. After using a small amount for 2 days my skin was shiny, red and warm.

It is a thick cream and I like that it protects against blue light as well (I work in an office). I have had no breakouts whatsoever and my skin seems to be brighter. I have an oily skin and this makes my skin very shiny so unfortunately I will not purchase this again. I believe it is more suitable for a dry skin.

I bought this product before and am very happy with it. Not the application or colour is a problem at all.

Product Rating:

It’s a very good, comprehensive sunscreen, especially because more companies are advertising protection beyond just UV rays. The formula could spread a bit better, especially since a good even layer of sunscreen is critical in delivering on the sun protection claims. I’m not sure why Lamelle choose to formulate with benzophenone-3. There are less controversial filters out there that don’t penetrate the outer layer of skin, have lower rates of contact allergy, and don’t show the same levels of hormone disruption. That being said, I still use it, especially because it contain photolyase for active sun repair. This product has a PFA of 18 and a critical wavelength of 378nm (this information comes from Lamelle itself).
