StriVectin Launches New Anti-Aging Sunscreen With Niacin

StriVectin's newest skin care product has us intrigued. Not only is it a powerful sunscreen, but it also boasts about being a strong anti-aging treatment.

And guess what.....StriVectin S-H Age Protect SPF 30 is also recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation.

So, we would like to assume, that the clever folks at StriVectin have developed an excellent way to "practice safe sun", if you would.

The magic ingredient in this sunscreen is the NIA-114 molecule. And according to what we learned, this form of niacin was actually discovered by skin cancer researchers, Drs. Myron and Elaine Jacobson, The couple found that NIA-114 is able to re-build skin layers and strengthen the skin barrier to further protect against sun damage.

This is a daily sunscreen that you can use all year long, 365 days. And the formula is said to be ultra light and ultra sheer. Nothing heavy or greasy.

How to use: Apply a dime size amount in the morning on cleansed face and neck over StriVectin-SD or a daily moisturizer. Reapply as needed or after towel drying, swimming or perspiring. Instantly absorbs into skin with a soft, matte finish.

StriVectin S-H Age Protect SPF 30 sells for $49 (2 oz.) and can be found at stores like---Bloomingdales, ULTA, Sephora, and at strivectin.com.
