SUN DAMAGE & PHOTOAGING

UV exposure overstimulates melanin production, leading to uneven tone and dark spots.

Encapsulated Niacinamide

Helps regulate pigment transfer

Vitamin C (Kakadu Plum)

Supports brightness and oxidative defence

Gentle exfoliating acids

Assist removal of surface pigmentation

What you’ll notice over time

Sun-damaged skin often appears dull due to slowed cellular turnover.

Lactic Acid & Encapsulated Salicylic Acid

Renewal-supportive actives

What you’ll notice over time

UV exposure generates free radicals that degrade collagen fibres.

Vitamin C (Kakadu Plum)

Encapsulated Niacinamide

What you’ll notice over time

Correction is ineffective without daily UV protection.

Physical sunblocks like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide provide broad-spectrum protection and reflect UV radiation away from the skin.

Especially important if using Vitamin A or exfoliating acids.

What you’ll notice over time

Sun damage, also known as photoaging, occurs when ultraviolet (UV) radiation penetrates the skin and damages collagen, elastin and cellular DNA. Over time, this leads to wrinkles, loss of firmness, pigmentation, rough texture and uneven tone. Sun damage is cumulative and builds gradually with repeated exposure.

UV radiation stimulates melanin production as a protective response. When melanin becomes unevenly distributed, it forms freckles, sun spots and patches of hyperpigmentation. Inflammation and oxidative stress further worsen pigment irregularities.

Bright & Correct Niacinamide Serum helps regulate pigment transfer, while Clarify & Renew Serum supports controlled exfoliation to improve tone clarity.

Pigmentation is a general term for uneven skin colour.

Sun spots are usually UV-related and develop over time due to repeated exposure.

Melasma is hormonally influenced and highly UV-reactive, often appearing as symmetrical darker patches on the cheeks or forehead.

All are worsened by inflammation and light exposure. Daily mineral protection and pigment-regulating ingredients are essential, particularly for melasma-prone skin.

Sun damage can be significantly improved, though not completely erased.

Corrective skincare can:
- Stimulate new collagen production
- Improve texture and cellular turnover
- Fade pigmentation
- Strengthen the skin barrier

Rejuvaus combines Clarify & Renew Serum and Bright & Correct Niacinamide Serum to support multi-pathway correction while maintaining tolerability.

Daily i•Solar mineral SPF is essential to protect results.

Effective sun-damage correction requires multiple pathways, including:

• Retinaldehyde to stimulate collagen and skin renewal
• Niacinamide to reduce inflammation and regulate pigment transfer
• Exfoliating acids to improve cellular turnover
• Antioxidants to neutralise free radical damage
• Mineral sunscreen to prevent ongoing UV damage

Rejuvaus formulas combine these actives in controlled, barrier-supportive systems to improve visible signs of photoaging without overwhelming the skin.

With consistent use:

3–4 weeks:
Smoother texture and improved clarity

6–8 weeks:
Visible fading of superficial pigmentation

12+ weeks:
Improved tone balance and reduced photoaging

Pigmentation correction requires patience and daily protection to prevent recurrence.

UV exposure generates free radicals that accelerate collagen breakdown and pigment activation. Antioxidants neutralise these unstable molecules, helping reduce oxidative stress and preserve structural integrity.

Antioxidant Light Moisturiser provides daily defence, supporting long-term skin clarity and resilience alongside mineral sunscreen.

UV exposure is ongoing and cumulative. Without daily protection, new pigmentation forms while you attempt to correct existing damage.
A broad-spectrum mineral protection, such as Rejuvaus i•Solar Protect & Restore Invisible Zinc Lotion, helps:

• Prevent further collagen degradation
• Reduce new pigment formation
• Maintain corrective results

Physical sunblocks like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide provide consistent, reliable defence, especially important when using exfoliating acids or Vitamin A.

Pigmentation often persists because correction is not combined with strict UV protection. Even incidental exposure through windows or short outdoor activity can reactivate melanin production.
Without daily mineral SPF, exfoliation and brightening efforts become less effective.
