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.

Interesting approach to SPF

I find the cream is a bit grainy, but I like that it goes to work at correcting existing sun damage. Haven't been using it for that long, but I am optimistic about the results because of the high quality I have come to expect from U Beauty. Wish it was SPF 50 though!

Super moisturizing sun protection

The cooler dry temperatures of Arizona require a product like this. I am confident that I will be protected during my round of golf.

Surprised

This is a total different delivery system than I'm used to for SPF. I had started using Ubeauty, but ignored this because of the format (being thick and in a jar). Since my skin has been looking of good since starting Ubeauty, I thought I would give it a shot. I used the silicone spatula and it spreads like a dream! After I get enough coverage I them use my hands to warm/soak in everywhere. My skin looks BRIGHT right after I get it on. Moisturized and bright! I got so many compliments on my skin looking plump and bright just from adding that step. So glad I tried it out! It's like nothing else out there!

It's too thick and dry,

It's too thick and dry, very hard to apply and to be absorbed. I'm regretting buying it.

Protects your skin and makes you gloowww

I have never once gotten sunburned since using this product. Even spending a week in the Caribbean in sun 24/7. It also improves your skin texture, makes you shine like the sun, and doesn't make you break out.
