What They Say: "A.M. Moisture SPF 15 is for daily protection against UVA/UVB damage as part of a general healthy skin regimen. This broad-spectrum sunscreen, utilizing advanced biotechnology, encourages the skin to self-repair, moisturizes, and replenishes sun-depleted reserves of antioxidants, including Vitamins C and E. Patented liposome delivery system encapsulates key ingredients in microscopic spheres, which are engineered to deliver maximum benefit at the cellular level. Benefits include the most advanced approach to healthy skin that combines the best of two worlds: DNA repair enzymes (to cure past UV damage) and broad-spectrum sunscreen (to protect against future UV damage).

 

 

 

 
Key ingredients include:


  • Avobenzone (Parsol 1789) - protects against photo-aging of the skin.

  • Photosomes - derived from ocean plankton, they have the ability to harness light energy for defense and have been clinically proven to improve the appearance of sun-damaged skin.

  • Ultrasomes - Liposomes that intensify the skin's ability to repair sun-inflicted DNA damage, speed recovery reaction, and reduce the appearance of post-sunburn peeling.

  • Vitamins C and E (in oil-soluble form) - essential for stimulating collagen production, natural regenerating partners, vital to antioxidant levels.


Usage: Apply one meted dose in the morning to freshly cleansed face and throat. Not intended for recreational sunning or use in tanning booths. Recommended for all skin types."

What Lisa says: I'm not sure where to start with this product. I wanted to embrace this product after reading up on its ingredient list. I have my fair share of sun damage but am working hard to reduce the effects of too much "fun in the sun" from years past. This little bottle promises a lot and it may well deliver except for one huge factor: it tends to bead up on the skin even after sitting for 10 minutes or so. This made putting on foundation a nightmare. Powder foundations tended to clump up and go on unevenly leaving moist/dry areas. Crème/liquid foundations just rolled around and seemed to slough off. I tried putting foundation on immediately, waiting ten minutes and longer - nothing seemed to help. There was always this "film" on top of my skin and so I only used it when I was home and wearing no makeup at all. I'm an esthetician so I know my skin is properly cleansed and exfoliated so debris on the skin isn't a factor here. I'm afraid the "wearability factor" outweighed the "goodness factor" for me. I can't recommend.

Retail Price: 1.7 oz/$75.00 (Remergent is available through preferred dermatologists and plastic surgeons. Please visit www.remergentskin.com or call 800-590-4244)
