Sunscreening Agents (Sunscreens)

02/01/2021 - "Most importantly, however, have they provided the expected protection against skin cancers that current sunscreen products claim to do? "
11/01/2016 - "This suggests that if such a modest reduction in DNA damage can result in the significantly lower skin cancer incidence in black skin, the use of sunscreen protection might be extremely beneficial for susceptible population. "
03/10/2022 - "There is an important role for governments to put in place skin cancer prevention policies and long-term funding arrangements to build on our successful sunscreen programs so that future generations are afforded the highest level of topical protection against solar UVR."
08/01/2009 - "As sunscreens do not provide complete protection against solar/UV radiation, alternative protective strategies are necessary to cope with the increasing incidence of skin cancer. "
10/01/2022 - "The harmful effects induced by ultraviolet exposition and the significant increment in skin cancer diagnosis confirm the necessity to develop effective and safe sunscreens. "

11/03/2010 - "However, most studies show little or no effect and the most likely reason for this is that sunscreens have not been applied in the manner that was used to determine their labelled index of protection against sunburn. "
07/01/2010 - "Future campaigns to reduce the prevalence of sunburn in the Danish population must especially target young persons and intentional tanning, and they should emphasize that sunscreen cannot be used to extend the time spent in the sun and that shade and clothing provide the best protection against sunburn."
10/01/2023 - "Sunscreens are an important means of protection against sunburns, dyspigmentation, photoaging, and photocarcinogenesis. "
01/01/2013 - "  The general pattern of trends suggests two distinct periods, one with rapid improvement in behaviours (more sunscreen use, less unprotected body exposure and less sunburn) from 1987-88 to 1994-95, and the second from 1997-98 to 2006-07 with fewer changes in behaviours noted. "
01/01/2018 - "SPF 100+ sunscreen is more protective against sunburn than SPF 50+ in actual use: Results of a randomized, double-blind, split-face, natural sunlight exposure clinical trial."

07/01/2002 - "In conclusion, although, the level of protection against erythema offered by this sunscreen does not correlate with the level of protection against DNA damage, these results strongly suggest that an SPF 28 physical sunscreen significantly protected human skin against solar UV radiation. "
08/01/2001 - "Sunscreens were found to confer significantly less protection against UV-induced immunosuppression than against UV-induced erythema."
11/01/2022 - "Overall, according to this outdoor clinical testing method, the sunscreens' efficacy was ranked in an appropriate order given their established SPF levels, with higher SPFs giving greater protection against erythema and pigmentation. "
03/01/2020 - "Since their introduction during the first half of the last century, sunscreens have benefited enormously from major technological advances such as the development of novel UV filters; as a result, their efficacy in preventing UV-induced erythema is unequivocal. "
03/01/2015 - "Sun protection factor, SPF, is a measure of the efficacy of a topical sunscreen product; the higher the SPF, the greater the blockage of ultraviolet-induced erythema. "

01/01/2021 - "Most improved in their knowledge of the amount of sunscreen needed per application for sun safety (66%, P < 0.01) and of melanoma features from pre- and postintervention (39%, P < 0.01). "
05/01/2011 - "Sunscreen use in adults is beneficial in preventing melanoma."
01/23/2019 - "A new debate is going on about the efficacy of sunscreen against the risk of developing melanoma. "
11/01/2010 - "To evaluate the effects of two behavioral interventions designed to improve the frequency of total cutaneous skin examination by a health provider (TCE), skin self-examination (SSE), and sun protection among first degree relatives of patients with melanoma; and to evaluate whether increased intentions, increased benefits, decreased barriers, and improved sunscreen self-efficacy mediated the effects of the tailored intervention, as compared with the generic intervention on TCE, SSE, or sun protection. "
11/01/2009 - "Despite the lack of evidence demonstrating the efficacy of modern sunscreens in preventing melanoma, it is argued that it would be irresponsible not to encourage their use, along with other sun protection strategies, as a means of combating the year-on-year rise in melanoma incidence."

11/01/2022 - "Due to the physiopathology of melasma, sunscreens should be broad-spectrum with high sun protection factor, and provide high protection against UVA1 and VL. "
01/01/2015 - "Prevention of melasma relapses with sunscreen combining protection against UV and short wavelengths of visible light: a prospective randomized comparative trial."
07/01/1983 - "The efficacy of a broad-spectrum sunscreen in the treatment of melasma."
08/01/2019 - "In our study, we have attempted to re-instate the importance of sunscreens to patients and dermatologists who are inclining more toward various skin lightening agents for treatment of melasma, which have many side effects."
08/01/2019 - "Our objective was to study the role of broad-spectrum sunscreen with sun protection factor 19 and PA+++ as the sole agent for improvement of melasma. "
