Clinical
Advanced Day Ultimate Protect Sunscreen SPF 50 is a topical cream containing four active ingredients that function as ultraviolet (UV) filters. Butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane, ethylhexyl salicylate, homosalate, and octocrylene are commonly used together in sunscreen products to help absorb and scatter UVA and UVB radiation from the sun. This product is marketed as an over-the-counter monograph drug, meaning it follows FDA's established guidelines for sunscreen ingredients and formulations rather than undergoing individual product review.
