Everything you need to know about U Beauty Multimodal Defender Broad Spectrum SPF 30

Overview

What it is

This is a skincare formulation designed to protect the skin from various types of light exposure, including UVA, UVB, infrared, and blue light rays. It also aims to address the visible effects of previous photodamage, such as discoloration and dark spots. The product incorporates multiple components to offer these protective and corrective functions.

Key ingredients and their functions

  • Zinc Oxide - UV filter
  • Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate - antioxidant
  • Dimethylmethoxy Chromanyl Palmitate - skin brightening agent
  • Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate - antioxidant
  • Superoxide Dismutase - antioxidant
  • Glutathione - antioxidant
  • Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid - humectant
  • N-prolyl Palmitoyl Tripeptide-56 Acetate - peptide

How it works

The product is formulated to protect the skin by using Zinc Oxide, which acts as a UV filter against UVA and UVB rays. Antioxidants like Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Superoxide Dismutase, and Glutathione aim to reduce potential oxidative stress caused by environmental exposures. Dimethylmethoxy Chromanyl Palmitate works towards improving the appearance of skin discoloration. Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid helps in maintaining skin hydration by attracting moisture, while N-prolyl Palmitoyl Tripeptide-56 Acetate, a peptide, is included for its skin-conditioning properties. Together, these ingredients contribute to both protecting the skin from future damage and minimizing the appearance of existing concerns.

Multimodal defender spf30

It seems a little too glowy over the tinted moisturizer for me. Maybe I'll like it more in the winter months

Too Sticky!

I love all that it does, but it is too sticky! My hair gets stuck on my face when I wear it. I've tried to go with a lighter application, and still too sticky. Sorry! Maybe make a lighter version of this with the same SPF?

Great Moisturizer with SPF

I saw a reply to the influencer who influenced me recommending using the Multimodal Defender with the Resurfacing Compound, so I decided to give it a try, especially since it seemed better for oilier skins. Well, I love it! It's a unique texture that sort of melts in your hands, but goes on smoothly. It almost has a matte finish, but not so much once it's on your skin. It also wears great under makeup and has sunscreen. So, it's kind of perfect in that way. I love it!

Wonderful except for the burning eyes

I used this after washing my face with the mantle skin conditioning wash, then applying the resurfacing compound, the RETURN Eye Concentrate, the super hydrator, and the BARRIER Bioactive Treatment. I don't think I used enough (what's the rule about two fingers of sunscreen?), but it applied nicely and my skin felt juicy. I was very happy with everything until I got some of the Multimodal Defender Broad Spectrum SPF 30 in my eye. It burns a lot - even washing with my standard eye makeup cleanser didn't make the burning go away right away. I'll continue to use it but I'll be VERY careful around my eyes.
