Does this have UVA/UVB protection? Thank you! Do you like it? I use Kiehl's now...and open to trying this if it's good.

Yes. It is broad-spectrum. I used to use kheils but felt that my skin and eyes got irritated by that. This one is the least irritating I have tried. I'm finally able to wear sunscreen on my face! I just suffered through for 40 years without it because I couldn't find something that was non-irritating. It's a bit on the pricey side but I only use it on my face and neck. I'm really happy with it. Already bought my second bottle.

The product states, 'an optimized combination of photostable UVA/UVB filters' so I assume yes. I really like it on my face as it does not clog pours, it soaks into my skin, and doesn't remain greasy. I don't mind paying a little extra for this product as it was recommended by my Mayo Clinic physician.

Yes, this has UVA/UVB protection. Not greasy. Recommended by my dermatologist to prevent skin cancer.

UV protection, 60~80%, not too heavy. Sorry I am a pro, the last Q you asked is the wrong Q. should go to factory site and ask them.

Perfectly safe. The amount of UVA/UVB is vanishingly small more than 2 feet away from the bulb, and even at very close range is much less than from the afternoon sun. I think getting a slight burn from touching it after it has been on for a while is a more serious hazard, though its heat output is only in the 40W incandescent range. One should remember, though, that these are flourescent bulbs, and all the warnings about breaking this kind of bulb apply.

I would think it would provide a measure of protection from moisture to the surface upon which it was applied. However, the reverse surface would be susceptible to moisture. keep in mind that sunlight can do as much harm as water. I don't believe this product claims to protect from uva/uvb light.

I have been using this product for several months now and I love it. It hasn't caused any breakouts on my skin. In my experience it is a great product and value. A little goes a long way. The sunscreen properties is fantastic and isn't heavy or sticky. I do use a light translucent powder to finish it off as I live in a high humidity area of the US. I hope this helps.

I happen to be in the lamp manufacturing business. The output of this mirror LED is in the visiable range. It has no harmful UVB or UVA component. In fact the spectral response provides excellent duplication of natural daylight.

I primarily use this product on my face and sometimes my chest but you could use it all over. Pretty expensive for that purpose though. Also, when I buy this product I always look for the version that has a orange 50 on the label and says uva/uvb protection. The product pictured here is slightly different and doesn't offer broadband protection.

RTG - I live on the central coast of CA, so it is interesting hearing about your experience. It did strike me, perhaps there is a clear UV-blocking urethane(?) spray you could apply to the film. Maybe that could add some protection from the sun.

I do want to help but it will be better to contact the manufacturer. What I know is to be carefull with uv rays produced - no uv rays on your skin, not either on your eyes, bear eyesglass protecting uv, follow the manufaturer's rules. It is a wonderfull machine.

Definitely no. I can tell you this from personal use. It is at a specific light wavelength for acne. Only certain UVA A rays are the 'tanning rays' which bring up the colour in the skin

Hello, I bought two of these units. They work great but the light is a little bright while sleeping. Fortunately there is a button on the top of the unit that turns the UV light off. Hope this was helpful.

this product does not contain sun protection. it is really good though and worthy of discussion with your Doctor, I do not think he would blame you for seeking another less expensive solution,listen to bothy ides and decide. My doctor told me to add a good cream to the retin A and viola no red and peel. I like Clinique moisture surge with the retin A. Don't be shy go for it!! This is good product and I suspect your doctor will agree

Yes, it works the very same way as the UV lamp. I bought the LED lamp because the bulbs never have to be replaced and it is safer for skin, according to the reviews. This unit has sufficient timer settings for product that takes a little longer to cure. The cavity is smaller than the UV lamp for some reason, but the fingers and thumb fit just fine, and it is sufficiently roomy for toes, too. So far, I do not regret buying this lamp. UPDATE: Now that I've had an opportunity to use this unit a few times, I do have one issue with the system that I didn't think to consider when I purchased it. The lamp is only in the top of the unit and the sides are reflectors. While it is true the unit can accommodate the fingers and thumb, the outside edge of the thumb for most clients does not cure because the reflectors have no effect and the light does not "see" the outside edge of the thumb. Thus, thumbs have to be held over the index finger (uncomfortable) to cure with the fingers, or they have to be cured separately. Had I realized this about the unit I would not have purchased this system.

This product would be good for fair and sensitive skin to sun. It covers brown marks on face but you still need to wear a hat for protection from UVA/UVB.

Your welcome! In answer to your question, it does come with eye covers if you choose to use them. But your eyes aren't really exposed to the light, except when using it near your eyes and I just close them. I don't believe this is the UV type that is harmful to your skin like a tanning booth would be. Hope this helps :)

I love this product! I'm getting ready to order my second bottle.... I use moisturizer with sunscreen over the serum since the serum isn't a moisturizer, but it also depends on your skin type, mine is on the dryer side and I need the sunscreen also. Glad to hear you like it too!

Hello, HG, I have to admit I have twice now used the blacklight flashlight at night just to look for pet urine and I haven't been wearing protective UV glasses. I just had a long discussion about this with my spouse who was a scientist and who told me that for my small use of that flashlight there is very little likelihood of my having any damage to my eyes; however, "little likelihood" is not a comforting thought to me and so I think I will acquire a pair of those glasses. I don't like to take chances with my eyes. Thank you for mentioning this possible problem.
