| - | Anthelios SXThe only sunscreen you will ever need | For years, Americans were buying sunscreen with mexoryl via the Internet or while traveling overseas. Sunscreens with this ingredient in them are sold on the Internet and shipped from Asia, Latin America, Canada and Europe; where it's been around since the early 80s. But the way Americans are scared of importing prescription drugs from Canada, they were also afraid of buying these products that may literally save their lives: skin cancer is one of the major cause of death. | | |  Good news: Mexoryl is now available. Chicago dermatologist Omeed Memar, M.D., Ph.D. says, "Ultraviolet A light ages your skin. And the reason it does that, it's a longer wavelength, so it can penetrate deeper into the skin, and instead of attacking the upper layers of the skin where skin cancer often forms, it attacks the layers that give your skin its tone, its elasticity, as we call it...You get the lines, the wrinkles, all the things associated from aging...Mexoryl blocks harmful ultraviolet A rays and really provides anti-aging protection." Mexoryl offers better protection from the sun than other sunscreens and sunblock. "It produces a product which gives us almost perfect protection against sunshine," adds Dr. Memar. | |

Mexoryl is sold as a daily moisturizing cream called Anthelios SX, with a relatively low sun protection factor of 15. But, with skin cancer approaching what some dermatologists call epidemic proportions, every little bit, they say, helps. "It's a step forward," said Dr. Memar. "I don't say it's a giant step, but it's a small step forward in our armamentarium to protect us from the rays of the sun. I think the most effective anti-aging product that you can use is the daily use of sunscreen."
