A very high protection sunscreen from Histomer, the Italian clinical skincare brand, formulated specifically for sensitive, reactive, and sun-intolerant skin.

Suitable for adults, children, and anyone with allergy-prone skin. Eco-friendly and reef-safe. Free of ingredients harmful to the marine ecosystem.
Who it is designed for
This is not a general-purpose sunscreen. It is specifically formulated for:
- Sensitive and reactive skin prone to redness, irritation, or sun intolerance
- Skin affected by rosacea or couperose — conditions where UV exposure triggers visible flushing and capillary damage
- Areas of vitiligo — depigmented skin has no natural UV protection and requires very high SPF coverage
- Post-procedure skin — after laser, chemical peels, or other treatments that leave skin temporarily sensitized
- Skin around moles and scars — areas that require extra protection from UV-induced damage
-
Small children — gentle enough for pediatric use
- Anyone with a history of sun allergies or photodermatitis
Protection system
-
SPF50 UVB filters — Block the UV rays responsible for sunburn and surface skin damage. SPF50 blocks approximately 98% of UVB radiation.
-
UVA filters (photostable) — Protect against the deeper-penetrating rays responsible for premature aging, pigmentation, and long-term DNA damage. Photostable means the filters do not degrade in sunlight and maintain efficacy throughout the day.
-
Blue Light filters — Protection against high-energy visible light from screens and sunlight, which contributes to oxidative stress and pigmentation — particularly relevant for urban and indoor use.
Soothing and repairing actives
-
Skin-soothing complex — Calms reactive skin, reduces redness, and minimizes the inflammatory response triggered by UV exposure. Particularly effective for rosacea and couperose-prone skin.
-
Repairing actives — Support the skin’s natural recovery process after sun exposure, reducing the cumulative damage that leads to premature aging and pigmentation over time.
-
Eco-friendly filter system — Free of oxybenzone, octinoxate, and other chemical filters known to harm coral reefs and marine ecosystems.
Why SPF50 matters in the UAE
The UAE UV Index regularly reaches 10–11+ (extreme) from April through October. At these levels, unprotected skin can begin to burn in under 10 minutes. For sensitive skin, the threshold is even lower. SPF50 with broad-spectrum UVA/UVB coverage is the minimum recommended protection for daily outdoor use in this climate, and for sensitive or reactive skin, it is non-negotiable.
For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Keep out of reach of children under 3 years. If irritation occurs, discontinue use.
