## Key ingredients

Homosalate, Octocrylene, Ethylhexyl Salicylate

## What the research says

- A single application of a moisturizing fluid containing hyaluronic acid 1%, glycerin 5%, and Centella asiatica stem cells extract significantly increased skin hydration by 29% and reduced transepidermal water loss at 24 hours compared to baseline and an untreated control site in twenty healthy women. ([Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/))
- Incorporating rosmarinic acid into sunscreens enhanced the in vivo SPF of octocrylene by over 157% and reduced lipid peroxidation in the human stratum corneum. ([Antioxidants, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40227214/))
- Chemical sunscreens containing avobenzone, octocrylene, homosalate, and octisalate showed no to minimal risks of dermal irritation, sensitization, photo-allergy, and photo-irritation in human subjects. ([Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40911743/))
- Dermal application of a sunscreen containing 10% homosalate in four volunteers resulted in delayed elimination with terminal half-times around 24 h and a bioavailability of cis-homosalate a factor of 2 lower than trans-homosalate, while metabolite ratios supported using oral-route urinary excretion fractions for dermal exposure assessments. ([Archives of Toxicology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38485782/))
- Homosalate exhibited the highest permeation among tested filters with a relative permeability rate of 4.2% and a depth of 60 um, and specific thickeners and emulsifiers successfully reduced its permeation without inhibiting the skin permeation of niacinamide. ([Photodermatology, Photoimmunology & Photomedicine, 2026](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42594379/))
- An online-SPE-LC-MS/MS method successfully quantified specific urinary homosalate metabolites for up to 96 hours after dermal sunscreen application in a volunteer and detected metabolites exclusively in three German pilot participants who had used sunscreen within five days. ([Analytica Chimica Acta, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34399889/))
- The application of a sunscreen formulation containing ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, ethylhexyl salicylate, methyl anthranilate, and octocrylene does not significantly affect critical acne-related species such as Cutibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis, refuting the induction of facial dysbiosis in men. ([Archives of Dermatological Research, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39499337/))
- Early application of sunscreen after ablative fractional skin resurfacing significantly increased the sensitization rate of the UV-filter, octocrylene, and the sunscreen compared to intact skin. ([The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2015](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25633273/))
- Dermal sunscreen exposure in 20 healthy volunteers led to plasma concentrations of avobenzone, octocrylene, and its metabolite CDAA reaching up to 11 μg/L, 25 μg/L, and 1352 μg/L, respectively. ([Environment International, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31470219/))
- Simulated real-life dermal sunscreen exposure in twenty human volunteers leads to the systemic bioavailability and urinary excretion of the UV filter 2-ethylhexyl salicylate and its metabolite, reaching concentration peaks at 7 to 8 hours with 70-80% of overall excretion within 24 hours. ([Archives of Toxicology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31435713/))
- Controlled single dermal exposure to an EHS-containing sunscreen in three volunteers resulted in delayed systemic resorption with elimination half-lives between 6.6 and 9.7 hours, where the parent compound EHS occurred as the dominant urinary parameter. ([Archives of Toxicology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39134695/))
- Dermal exposure to EHS-containing sunscreen leads to the urinary excretion of EHS as the main biomarker alongside major metabolites 5OH-EHS, 5cx-EPS, 4OH-EHS, and 5oxo-EHS, measured using an extended enzymatic hydrolysis and on-line SPE LC-MS/MS method. ([Talanta, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38728806/))

## Why other sunscreens fit mature skin better

- Combining oral and topical astaxanthin in 30 healthy females improved skin wrinkles, age spots, elasticity, texture, and moisture, while 6 mg daily oral supplementation in 36 healthy males improved crow's feet wrinkles, elasticity, and transepidermal water loss. ([Acta Biochimica Polonica, 2012](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22428137/))
- Topical post-laser application of human adipocyte-derived mesenchymal stem cell media combined with niacinamide significantly improved wrinkle index, melanin index, patient satisfaction, and investigator esthetic improvement scores compared to vehicle cream in patients with aging skin. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33103316/))

## Questions and answers

### How well does Standard Procedure Sunscreen work for mature skin?

Standard Procedure Sunscreen works moderately well for mature skin, providing basic sun protection and hydration that supports fine lines, though other products fit this skin better. To better care for mature skin, a product of this type needs specialized ingredients for wrinkles, ceramides or niacinamide for barrier support, and extra soothing agents.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### Which ingredients make this cream a good fit for mature skin?

Glycerin helps keep dry skin hydrated and supports fine lines, while the UV filters protect against further signs of aging with minimal risk of irritation. A product of this type needs additional ingredients like niacinamide, sodium hyaluronate, and ceramides to better care for mature skin.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### What does Homosalate do for mature skin?

Homosalate acts as a UV filter in sunscreens to protect your skin from sun damage, showing minimal risk of skin irritation. For mature skin, a sunscreen of this type needs added antioxidants and hydrating ingredients to help keep skin smooth and support your moisture barrier.
Sources: [Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40911743/), [Molecules, 2014](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25389659/)

### What does Octocrylene do for mature skin?

Octocrylene is a UV filter that helps shield mature skin from sun damage and premature aging caused by daily exposure. When paired with antioxidants like rosmarinic acid, it may also boost protection and help reduce skin surface stress.
Sources: [Antioxidants, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40227214/)

### Where does it go in a skincare routine for mature skin?

Standard Procedure Sunscreen goes in the morning routine as the final step after your moisturizer. This moisturizing sunscreen helps protect your skin from the sun and supports wrinkles with hydration, though mature skin generally benefits more from products that also include specialized ingredients for wrinkle reduction.
Sources: [Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36607762/)

### Can I use this cream with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this sunscreen in the morning as the last step before sun exposure, while applying your retinol at night. Because this product provides only basic hydration and sun protection, mature skin needs an extra nourishing cream and targeted wrinkle-smoothing ingredients to get the best results alongside retinol.
Sources: [Cutis, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17121065/), [Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2012](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22648223/)

### How often should I use it?

You can use this sunscreen every morning as part of your daily routine. It helps keep your skin hydrated and protected from the sun, though mature skin often needs specialized wrinkle-reducing ingredients to get the best results.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32141711/), [Health Science Reports, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34141902/)

### Can this cream clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for mature skin?

This cream is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts on mature skin, as its ingredients carry a low risk of irritation and pore-clogging. To better target wrinkles and fine lines, mature skin needs specialized ingredients like retinol or peptides alongside this sun protection.
Sources: [Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40911743/)

### Is it fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Cetearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
