Sun protection that adapts to your own skin's tolerance
Institut Esthederm Adaptasun Hydra-Protective Sun Water Strong Sun is an adaptive sun protection lotion for skin that wants sun protection built around its own tolerance to the sun. Adaptasun is built on the idea that skin's own tolerance to the sun should guide protection: alongside UV filters, the formula supports the skin's natural defences with Cellular Water, so skin is protected while it tans, rather than simply blocked from reacting to the sun.
The texture
A light, watery lotion applied with a cotton pad or patted directly onto the skin.
Who it suits
- Skin wanting protection that adapts as it tans
- Repeated sun exposure over several days
- Pairing with a Bronz Repair or after-sun product
- Body and hair in one product where relevant
Worth knowing before you buy: Even an adaptive sun care needs reapplying after swimming, towelling or several hours outdoors, like any sunscreen.
