Is Pavise’s Anti-Aging Skincare And Viral UV Camera Worth It?

With freckled skin that easily burns and a family history of wrinkles, sun protection has become an absolute obsession for me. Needless to say, I was beyond thrilled when I stumbled upon Pavise, a game-changing biotech skin aging company that provides impeccable sun shielding without the dreaded white cast on any skin tone. Their innovative approach to sun protection truly sets them apart, and I couldn't wait to explore their two main products that are making waves on the internet.

Defy Photoaging – And Wrinkles

Before delving into the science behind Pavise's groundbreaking products, let's explore the root causes of sun damage and the development of those unwanted wrinkles and leathery skin as we age. The primary culprit behind wrinkles and skin aging is UVA exposure, which is responsible for up to 90% of how our skin ages! The key to combating this is ensuring our skin is shielded from the sun at all times. This aligns perfectly with Pavise's mission—to equip us with top-notch products for the ultimate defense against harmful exposure. This essentially means that a future full of wrinkles is optional. Their star products, the Dynamic Age Defense SPF and the UV Camera, are true game-changers in the skincare realm, and here's why they are revolutionizing the way we protect and care for our skin.

The Science Behind The Magic

Founded by Sophie Bai, a graduate of Harvard and MIT, developed Pavise with dermatologists and medical oncologists. The Dynamic Age Defense SPF is the first 100% true mineral, PA++++ sunscreen formulated without hidden chemical UV filters. It offers the highest UVA protection possible and is clinically proven to provide five times better UVA, UVB, and Visible Light protection compared to other leading mineral sunscreens.

The secret behind this unparalleled protection lies in Bai's ingenious creation—the DiamondCore® Shield Technology—which amazingly uses real diamonds. Mineral sunscreens are known for their UV absorption, scattering, and reflection properties, so Pavise’s incorporation of diamonds adds an extraordinary light-reflective dimension, elevating their formulation to unparalleled heights. The core of this innovation features a molecule infused with diamonds, enclosed by a unique form of zinc oxide.

Diamond-augmented zinc oxide delivers superior and longer wavelength protection from UVA, UVB, and VL while yielding a transparent, luxurious finish for all skin types with no white cast. Not only does this technology shield against the harmful Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS,) a type of free radical, responsible for aging, inflammation, and skin damage, but it also actively works to combat existing concerns like dark spots and acne scarring while preventing new ones from forming and eradicates up to 80% of ROS in your environment. Combining the DiamondCore® with potent ingredients like niacinamide, tranexamic acid, and licorice root extract, Pavise offers a solution that is more than just a sunscreen and is a one-step routine for improving your skin's health. As someone who has sensitive combination skin and frequent breakouts, this really stood out to me.

The UV camera clearly shows the deep blue shade of the sunscreen, indicating full protection

My personal favorite among Pavise's sun protection offerings is the revolutionary UV Camera. This tiny device plugs into your phone charging port and instantly displays a deeper shade of blue to indicate when sunscreen coverage is present. Dark blue means full protection, while light blue shows areas that need more attention. It even reveals existing sun damage below the skin’s surface to aid in the early detection and diagnostics of future dark spots, sun spots, age spots, hyperpigmentation, and melasma. After trying it out, I was amazed to witness the real-time transformation as I applied Pavise's Dynamic Age Defense SPF, ensuring I covered every spot with SPF 30 protection.

The UV Camera has transformed my sun protection routine, and I now feel confident and protected throughout the day—no more constant reapplication worries or missed spots. It's the missing piece of my skincare routine that I never knew I needed. The camera is perfect for those of us looking to make the most of our sunscreen, cleanser, and other skincare products. By regularly using it, we can protect our skin, reduce the risk of skin cancer, repair pre-existing photodamage, and prevent skin aging. For being the size of a quarter, this UV camera is incredible.

The UV camera is the perfect size to bring everywhere

Is it just me or has the entire beauty and skincare industry been saturated with a million different types of expensive anti-aging products? It’s exhausting trying to choose which to buy and then not even knowing if it’s truly doing anything for your skin. The best thing we can do for our skin to stop aging, however, is to prevent the number one cause of skin aging – UVA. And now with a nifty camera to plug into my phone, I can see if my sunscreen is actually preventing future damage!

Apart from wrinkles, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation, there’s an even darker side to sun exposure. Skin cancer runs in my family with most of my mom’s side having been diagnosed with it at some point in their lives (something fun to look forward to I know,) so you can imagine how seriously I take my sunscreen routine. Having a top-of-the-line sunscreen with the UV Camera to check my application is a game-changer for both our beauty and more importantly, health. With Pavise’s diamond technology, I can be outside and have my best summer without worrying about sun and UV damage.

Given my fair and highly susceptible skin to sun exposure, I've lost count of the different brands of sunscreen I've tried. They either leave a chalky white cast, pilling, greasy texture under my makeup, or just simply don’t work. It has been a struggle. Now enter the Pavise Dynamic Age Defense SPF, I am not over exaggerating when I say this stuff went on my face and neck like magic. It is so light and invisible, leaving a dewy finish that allows makeup to go on top perfectly or to wear solo. It hasn’t once bothered my acne and rosacea-prone skin, and actually feels much better than my usual moisturizers and serums.

The Verdict

After switching to Pavise, I'm hooked, and going back to regular sunscreen brands seems unthinkable. I tested it on the UV Camera against various SPFs in makeup, moisturizers, and other sunscreens, and Pavise's Dynamic Age Defense SPF displayed a rich, dark blue shade, indicating full coverage that lasted for hours. Learning about the harmful effects of UVA rays on our skin, even in the absence of sunlight, has made me seriously prioritize sun protection and scrutinize SPF ingredients. What blew me away was how light and comfortable Pavise feels, even under makeup. Unlike most skincare products that irritate my sensitive skin, I had no reaction to this and it actually made my skin glow and even out! I can officially say that I’m a Pavise convert.
