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.

Too early to see results but I love the texture

I opened the jar this morning and was a bit shocked at the consistency as it is quite thick but that helps in applying it so I knew I had converted every part of my face and neck. Initially I thought that there was no way I could wear any foundation or makeup over this but boy was I wrong. It created the perfect canvas for foundation. I am seriously in love with this and hope they make a smaller jar for travel as I plan on taking this on every trip. In the meantime I will just put in small jar when I travel. My makeup did not pill or and my pores were immediately erased. I am in love with this product.

White cast

It's very thick and leaves a white cast on my face. But it has many good ingredients so I'm using it.

Multimodal for a complete skincare treatment

If you are here, you might be curious about benefits this treatment offers and what you might expect if you decide to invest. I know, it's a little pricey for many of us to swing, (me included) but it lasts a good while, even when using daily. Also, it isn't necessary to purchase ten or so skincare products when using U Beauty. Simply, I think this treatment works synergistically with the Resurfacing Compound: Resurfacing product by night and Multimodal for daytime, and Super Hydrator throughout the day and in between, as needed, although, I don't feel multiple applications necessary. It's a very luxurious moisturizer. I love it's scent. It's officially unscented, but the ingredients makes it officially delicious. I saw my skin changing most especially when I incorporated the Multimodal: spot fading, texture improvement, and of course, superior sun protection! It's a different experience than the Resurfacing Compound application, but the products really feel that they belong hand-in-hand, if at all possible. Last year I found myself particularly financially challenged, but as soon as I was able, a Multimodal purchase felt long overdue. I wish I had before/after snaps to share.

Nourishing and protecting spf

I've only used this a few times so far. A little goes a very long way so one jar should last a long time. It goes on a little thick but once it's absorbed into your skin, it hydrates and protects.
