Dermalogica Biolumin-C Heat Aging Protector SPF 50 daily face moisturizer, 1.7 fl oz, Vitamin C brightening

BioLumin-C Heat Aging Protector SPF 50 is a daily facial moisturizer with broad-spectrum sunscreen and a stabilised vitamin C complex that helps protect skin from UV and heat-induced visible aging while brightening tone.

Designed to combine high-SPF sun protection with antioxidant skin care, Dermalogica's BioLumin-C Heat Aging Protector gives daily defence and lightweight hydration in one 1.7 fl oz formula. It pairs an ultra-stable Vitamin C complex with the ThermaRadiance Complex and soothing botanicals to help shield skin from environmental stressors, support radiance, and reduce the appearance of uneven texture when used as part of a regular morning routine.

How does this sunscreen protect skin from both sun and heat?

The formula uses SPF 50 to block UVA and UVB rays while the ThermaRadiance Complex targets non-solar heat stressors that can accelerate visible signs of aging. Antioxidants neutralise free radicals and ingredients such as Vitamin E and Physalis help calm heat-related redness and oxidative damage.

• Broad-spectrum SPF 50 blocks harmful UVA/UVB rays
• ThermaRadiance Complex helps reduce heat-related visible aging
• Stable Vitamin C provides antioxidant protection and brightening
• Vitamin E and botanicals soothe heat-induced irritation

Will this moisturizer brighten skin and improve texture?

Yes — the ultra-stable Vitamin C complex is formulated to visibly brighten skin tone and support a more even texture over time. Regular use as directed can help reduce the appearance of dullness and contribute to a healthier-looking complexion when combined with sun protection and consistent skincare.

• Stable Vitamin C complex for long-lasting brightening
• Targets dullness and uneven tone
• Helps smooth fine lines and texture with ongoing use
• Lightweight lotion base layers easily under makeup

How does it hydrate and calm sensitive or irritated skin?

The moisturizer blends calming ingredients like bisabolol and allantoin with nourishing safflower oleosomes to supply gentle hydration and reduce sensations of tightness. These soothing agents help maintain barrier comfort while the sunscreen ingredients provide daily environmental defence.

• Bisabolol and allantoin for calming relief
• Safflower oleosomes deliver lightweight nourishment
• Hydrating base supports skin barrier without heaviness
• No greasy finish—suitable under makeup

How should I use BioLumin-C Heat Aging Protector daily?

Apply as the last step of your morning routine after cleansing and any serums or treatments. Dispense generously across face (and neck if desired) about 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapply every two hours when in direct sunlight or after sweating or towel-drying.

• Use daily in the morning after serums and moisturisers
• Apply 15 minutes before sun exposure for best protection
• Reapply every two hours during prolonged sun or after water contact
• 1.7 fl oz tube fits easily into a handbag or travel kit
