Why Your Skin Needs It
Provitamin D provides antioxidant protection to help defend skin from stressors and free radicals which can leave skin dehydrated and also lead to premature signs of aging. It’s also been known to promote ceramide production, which helps support sustained hydration.
The Clinique Expertise
We’ve added this antioxidant to our formulas to help bolster skin’s natural environmental stress defense system, which can help protect skin against the effects of daily dehydrators like pollution, blue light, and other environmental aggressors. Along with UVA/UVB protection in our SPF products, we help double down on your skin’s defense.
