The Sostar Whitening Day Cream SPF15 with Milk Thistle 50ml is a facial cream for melasma and a more even tone, with a protection index SPF15. It combines two well-known ingredients for skin tone, a vitamin C derivative and vitamin PP, with organic milk thistle for hydration.
According to the manufacturer, the derivative of vitamin C contributes to the regulation of melanin, has antioxidant action and supports collagen synthesis. Vitamin PP helps regulate melanin levels, while the SPF15 index helps protect against solar radiation.
The SPF index mainly measures protection against UVB radiation, which is responsible for sunburn. An SPF15 is considered low protection: it is useful for daily, short exposures, such as the commute to work or a walk in the city, but is not sufficient for beach, mountain or long-hour sun exposure.
For those who care about melasma, this is important. The sun is the main factor that darkens spots, so the more you are exposed, the higher the protection you need. This cream works well as a daily base in the city. On days with intense sun, add a higher-index face sunscreen on top.
There is also something we often forget: the quantity. The SPF index is measured in the laboratory with generous application. In everyday life, most people apply much less, so the actual protection is lower than the package number. This is another reason not to rely on an SPF15 for long-hour exposure.
Milk thistle, thanks to its low fat content, allows textures that sit well under makeup, which is important in a day cream.
For those who have sun spots, melasma or marks that leave behind pimples and want a day cream that targets them. For those who live and move mainly in the city and want a basic level of protection in their morning routine. It combines with the night cream for melasma from the same line, for morning and evening care.
After morning cleansing, apply the cream to the face and neck and wait for it to be absorbed. Reapply if you stay out for a long time. In intense sunshine, use an additional sunscreen with a higher index. Follow the instructions on the packaging.
