A-Derma Epitheliale A.H Ultra SPF50+: when the fresh mark needs to go out in the sun
The A-Derma Epitheliale A.H Ultra SPF50+ is a protective corrective cream 100ml against marks, which combines in one step the soothing care of the damaged skin with very high sun protection. According to the manufacturer, it is tested on injured skin, on tattooed skin and after chemical exfoliation and laser, with very good tolerance.
It is aimed at those who have a superficial lesion, a recent tattoo or skin that has just undergone an aesthetic procedure and need to continue their daily routine outside, in the light of the day. At these times the exposure to the sun is the factor that often leaves behind a darker and more visible mark, and the cream is designed to cover exactly this gap, with double action on red and brown marks.
Why does a mark darken when it sees the sun
When the skin is irritated or superficially injured, a natural rebuilding process begins. At this stage the melanocytes, the cells that produce the pigment melanin, become more sensitive to ultraviolet radiation. If the area is exposed without protection, more melanin may be produced locally and a brown mark may remain for weeks or even months. The phenomenon is called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and it appears more often in darker skin types.
The red marks, on the other hand, are mainly related to the intense local microcirculation of the area being renewed. Both types of marks need time to fade. That is why dermatologists recommend constant sun protection on every recent mark, tattoo or area after laser and peeling, for as long as the specialist determines.
