A broad-spectrum sunscreen helps protect your skin from both UVA and UVB rays. UVB rays cause sunburns and UVA rays cause tanning. UVA rays are believed to be responsible for photoaging – the damage that occurs to the skin from many years of exposure to the sun. Both rays may contribute to the risk of developing skin cancer. Most sunscreen products available in the past were developed to prevent sunburns by blocking UVB rays. Fewer sunscreen products have been equally successful in blocking UVA rays. PURPOSE® Dual Treatment Moisture Lotion with SPF 15 is a light, water-based formula which filters both UVA and UVB rays and provides the daily SPF 15 protection recommended by dermatologists. PURPOSE® Dual Treatment Moisture Lotion with SPF 15 is also hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores), fragrance-free and dye-free.
