Is Dynamic Age Defense suitable for all skin types?
Yes, Dynamic Age Defense is safe for sensitive, eczema-prone, and blemish-prone skin. Each ingredient, its concentration, and the complete formula has been reviewed by Pavise’s team of dermatologists, pediatricians, and medical oncologists who assess risk of irritation and allergenicity. DiamondCore® Shield Technology zinc oxide is GRASE-certified (Generally Recognized As Safe and Effective) by the FDA, and as a mineral UV filter, is the UV filter recommended most to those with inflammatory skin conditions. In addition, Dynamic Age Defense has passed HRIPT (Human Repeat Insult Patch Testing) and a 4 week in-vivo comedogenicity test which requires patients with diverse skin types to repeatedly apply Dynamic Age Defense to assess potential skin reactions.
Is Dynamic Age Defense suitable for all skin tones?
Dynamic Age Defense is also suitable for all skin tones and ethnicities. Though traditional mineral UV filters like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are known to produce a white cast on darker skin tones, DiamondCore® Shield Technology zinc oxide used in Dynamic Age Defense does not. Its unique size and shape allows DiamondCore® zinc oxide to more efficiently absorb, scatter, and reflect light. This means that DiamondCore® zinc oxide does not reflect a white color and produce a white cast. The transparency of Dynamic Age Defense has been thoroughly tested and studied on all skin tones.
The UV protection factor of Dynamic Age Defense has also been tested on all skin tones. SPF and UVAPF testing that assess SPF value and PA-rating have included participants with Fitzpatrick skin types 1-6.
Is Dynamic Age Defense suitable for use on post-procedure skin (laser, microneedling, dermal filler, etc.?)
Yes, Dynamic Age Defense is safe for post-procedure skin. Using Dynamic Age Defense post-procedure is also proven to accelerate recovery and maximize results of cosmetic procedures by helping to preserve healthy collagen deposition. As proven in the lab, DiamondCore® restores >70% of aged cells' collagen production and stimulates 198% better healthy skin cell growth.
Post-procedure skin tends to be more sensitive and vulnerable to photodamage. This makes photoprotection particularly important after receiving cosmetic procedures to prevent hyperpigmentation, scarring, inflammation, and photoaging. Common chemical sunscreens, however, can exacerbate the irritation and inflammation experienced after cosmetic procedures because they are capable of more easily penetrating into deeper layers of skin. Pavise’s team of dermatologists has determined that Dynamic Age Defense is safe for sensitive skin and poses very little risk of irritation. DiamondCore® Shield Technology zinc oxide does not absorb into skin the way chemical UV filters do. This superior safety profile, coupled with Dynamic Age Defense's comprehensive UVA, UVB, and Blue Light protection make it a non-irritating and effective protectant post-procedure.
Does Dynamic Age Defense treat melasma?
Melasma is a specific, particularly stubborn kind of hyperpigmentation that results from photodamage. Dynamic Age Defense is formulated with DiamondCore® Shield Technology zinc oxide, which provides 5X better protection against UVA, UVB, and Visible Light radiation to help manage melasma. DiamondCore® also facilitates 2X the skin absorption of key bioactives such as tranexamic acid, present in Dynamic Age Defense, which has been clinically proven to help improve the signs of melasma.
Is Dynamic Age Defense non-comedogenic?
Yes, Dynamic Age Defense is non-comedogenic and non-acnegenic, as determined by a 4 week in-vivo comedogenicity test.
