Findings

Sunscreens with Mexoryl SX provided measurable protection against UV damage at the cellular level, including reduced DNA damage (pyrimidine dimers and p53 buildup), less UV-induced pigmentation, and better preservation of immune function in the skin. The more UVA protection in the formula, the better the pigmentation protection—suggesting this ingredient actually performs as advertised for broad-spectrum defense.
