HEV light - What it is & how to protect the skin from it | Eucerin
UVA, UVB and HEVIS Light can induce hyperpigmentation and may contribute to conditions such as sun spots (also known as age spots), melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Alongside UVA and UVB, HEVIS Light can induce uneven skin pigmentation (often referred to as hyperpigmentation) and may contribute to conditions such as age spots (also known as sun spots), melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
The blue/violet band of this visible spectrum has a particularly high energy level and is known as High Energy Visible Light. This is often abbreviated to HEV Light or HEVL.
Many modern sunscreens offer effective protection against UVA and UVB rays, but the chemicals and pigments used to filter UVA and UVB do not filter HEVISIS light. For this reason, we recommend that you look out for products that contain antioxidants that work against oxidative stress. When choosing appropriate suncare products, the priority is still to give your skin the very best protection against UVA and UVB rays, but choosing products that also combat the oxidative stress caused also by HEVIS Light will further help to prevent photoageing and reduce instances of hyperpigmentation. Antioxidants Licochalcone A and Glycyrrhetinic Acid have been proven to work together to protect skin cells in the deeper epidermal layers from sun-induced damage.
