Isdin's protector solar line offers a wide range of sun protection products to suit different needs. Their most popular option is the award-winning Fusion Water sunscreen, a lightweight and fast-absorbing formula available in multiple protection factors. For those who want sun protection with a tint, the Fusion Water Color provides the same exceptional protection while imparting a beautiful glow. Read on for more details about Isdin's stellar solar offerings.
An Introduction to Isdin's Solar Protection Products
As experts in photoprotection, Isdin offers scientifically-proven sunscreens that shield skin from UVA and UVB rays. Their protector solar products come in various formats like creams, sprays, and gels with protection factors ranging from SPF 30 to 50+.
Isdin's claim to fame is their proprietary Fusion Water technology featured across the protector solar line. As the name suggests, Fusion Water sunscreens have an ultra-fluid, water-like texture that spreads effortlessly and absorbs quickly without leaving behind any sticky residue. Let's look at some of Isdin's bestselling protector solar products.
Isdin Fusion Water SPF 50+
The award-winning Isdin Fusion Water SPF 50+ is a winner for good reason. This ultra lightweight sunscreen fluid provides very high UVA and UVB protection in an oil-free, non-comedogenic formula suitable for the most sensitive skin types. The fast-absorbing texture makes it ideal for daily wear, either on its own or under makeup.
Its key features include:
* Very high SPF 50+ broad spectrum protection
* Ultra lightweight fluid texture
* Fast-absorbing and non-greasy finish
* Oil-free and non-comedogenic
* Suitable for sensitive skin and eyes
* Provides extra hydration
The Fusion Water SPF 50+ is fragrance-free and hypoallergenic. It can be used daily on the face and body without posing any irritation risks.
Isdin Fusion Water Color SPF 50
Those who prefer a sunscreen with a tint can opt for the Isdin Fusion Water Color SPF 50. It offers the same exceptional protection as the original Fusion Water fluid while imparting a light golden glow on application.
The Fusion Water Color comes in two shades - light and medium. While the tint is temporary and does not provide any additional skin benefits, it does even out skin tone subtly while shielding it from sun damage. Like all Fusion Water sunscreens, the color variant features water-light texture and gets absorbed quickly into the skin without leaving behind any residue.
Isdin Tender Skin Fusion Water SPF 50+
Designed for especially sensitive skin, the Isdin Tender Skin Fusion Water SPF 50+ combines the popular water-light texture with an ultra gentle formula powered by prebiotics. It soothes and protects sensitive skin while shielding it from solar damage.
The prebiotic complex restores balance to irritated skin and strengthens the skin barrier. Meanwhile, the SPF50+ UVA/UVB filters defend against sunburn, photoaging, dark spots and skin cancer. Despite being specially crafted for sensitive types, this sunscreen is suitable for all skin types.
Key Features of Isdin's Protector Solar Products
As pioneers in sun protection, Isdin has refined their solar offerings over 50+ years of intensive research. Here are some standout features you can expect from their protector solar products:
Cutting-Edge Photostable Formulas
Isdin uses the most advanced UVA/UVB filters that remain stable instead of degrading when exposed to solar radiation. This means the sun protection stays consistent throughout sun exposure without losing potency.
Lightweight, Ultra-Fluid Textures
Texture is key when it comes to sun protection that needs frequent reapplication. Isdin's Fusion Water technology results in lightweight sunscreen formulas that have a refreshingly fluid, water-like consistency.
Fast Absorption Without Residue
Isdin's protector solar sunscreens are specially engineered to absorb quickly into the skin, eliminating any greasy residue or white cast. This makes reapplication easy and fuss-free.
Broad Spectrum Protection
Isdin sunscreens shield from the complete solar spectrum, providing balanced broad spectrum protection against burning UVB rays and premature aging UVA radiation.
Hypoallergenic and Dermatologically Tested
As pioneers in sensitive skin photo protection, Isdin formulats all their sunscreens to minimize allergy and irritation risks. Every solar product undergoes stringent dermatological testing for safety and efficacy.
Water/Sweat/Sand Resistant
Thanks to advanced polymer technology, Isdin's sun protection products are resistant to water, sweat and sand. The protective film stays put on your skin even after swimming, exercising or lounging on the beach.
Choosing the Right Isdin Protector Solar
With multiple solar protection products to choose from, making the right selection might seem complicated at first. To decide which Isdin sunscreen is best for you, consider:
Your Skin Type
- Sensitive skin types prone to irritation should opt for the Tender Skin Fusion Water SPF 50+ with its ultra gentle prebiotic formula.
- Oily and acne-prone skin benefits from oil-free, non-comedogenic sunscreens like the Fusion Water SPF 50+ that won't clog pores.
- Normal/combination skin can use any Fusion Water sunscreen without issues as the water-fluid texture suits most skin types.
Level of Sun Exposure
Determine whether you need moderate or maximum sun protection based on your environment and the time you spend outdoors:
* Occasionally exposed skin can get by with SPF 30 shields like the Fusion Water Urban SPF 30.
* Frequently exposed skin should be shielded with maximum SPF 50 defense such as the bestselling Fusion Water SPF 50+.
Preference for Tinted Finish
While completely non-tinted sunscreens like the Fusion Water allow flexible blending with any complexion product, the Fusion Water Color options add a sun-kissed glow. Pick the right tinted shade to compliment your skin tone.
Format Preference
Isdin sunscreens are available in various formats:
- Light creams and gels for the face
- Ultra-fluid sprays for the body
- Tinted mousse for a radiant finish
- Stick format for precise application on small areas
How to Use Isdin Protector Solar for Maximum Efficacy
Using sunscreen incorrectly can compromise protection and trigger skin sensitivities. Follow these expert tips when applying Isdin protector solar products:
Apply Liberally
The advertised SPF protection level can only be achieved with generous application i.e 2 mg/cm2. Using too little sunscreen drastically lowers shielding effects.
Reapply Frequently
Sun protection needs frequent reapplication, especially if sweating or swimming. Reapply Isdin sunscreens every 2 hours at least.
Apply 15 Minutes Before Sun Exposure
UV filters need upto 15 minutes after application to bind with skin cells in order to provide advertised protection level. So slather on your Isdin sunscreen at least 15 minutes before heading out.
Pay Attention to Missed Spots
Many people miss certain spots like around the eyes, lips, ears, and scalp while applying sunscreen. Pay extra attention to often-missed areas when using Isdin protector solar products for complete protection.
