Skin irritation test / Skin tolerability test is a dermatological test to assess the skin's tolerance to the product. Independent dermatologists examine the test subjects' skin for signs of irritation after application of the product. Dermatologists look for signs of irritation such as redness, swelling, bumps, blisters, and skin lesions. Based on the results, the product is classified as either non-irritating, slightly irritating, moderately irritating and strongly irritating. All Dr Ankerstjerne products are classified as non-irritating.

The ANTI-AGE studies are performed with advanced and recognized measuring instruments that provide objective and quantifiable measurements. Common to the investigations is that the test subjects apply the test product to their face as the only skin care product, twice a day for 8 weeks. Measurements are taken on day 0 and then after 8 weeks. The measurements are assessed by independent dermatologists and the results are obtained by comparing the examinations on day 0 and after 8 weeks.

Tightness and elasticity are biomechanical properties of the skin that are measured with a Cutometer®. Cutometer® is one of the most recognized and used measuring instruments in dermatology to assess skin tightness and elasticity. The measurement takes place by exposing the skin to the pressure changes at the same time as the instrument's optical parts measure the skin's ability to move Wrinkle length and wrinkle depth can be measured with a measuring instrument Visioline® VL 650. The measuring principle is based on the relief of the skin, and thus wrinkles, replicated with a material called Silflo ®. The wrinkles, which normally go down into the skin, will be raised on the replica like a microscopic "mountain" rising up. With the help of a special camera, the wrinkles are visualized and become measurable, so that with mathematical models you get quantitative measurements of wrinkle parameters such as depth and length of wrinkles.

THE SUN SET is suitable for all skin types and for all skin conditions and is particularly well suited for normal, dry, combination and mature skin with visible signs of aging, as well as for pigment spots, large pores, uneven skin surface and skin irritation conditions.

THE SUN SET contains Superfood serum that contains vitamin A in the form of Retinyl Palmitate. Superfoods should not be used during pregnancy based on the precautionary principle.

THE SUN SET constitutes a complete skin care routine.

In the morning, apply Superfood serum to cleansed skin, followed by Urban Protection day cream. In the evening, clean your skin with Wash the day off facial cleanser. Wash lathers easily on damp skin. Rinse off with water. Finish with Anti-age night cream rich.

SUPERFOOD vitamin face gel is a multifunctional gel that can be used both as a serum and gel on the cheekbones and around the eyes. You use a small amount of product. The gel is quickly absorbed into the skin and is light in texture. If you need a richer product in the eye area, we do not have a specific eye cream, but all our face creams can be used over Superfood

Regardless of whether you use Superfood or another eye cream, remember that the skin in the eye area is thinner than the skin on the rest of the face. An eye cream or eye gel should be applied in small amounts, and applied along the brow bone around the eye and not on the eyelid itself. The skin attracts the product (a bit like a sponge). When you apply the cream along the brow bone, you avoid irritating the eye skin and you don't get any product in the eye.

Our two product sets both contain a complete anti-aging skin care routine with serum, day cream, night cream and facial cleanser.

The day cream is what separates the two sets; serum, night cream and facial cleanser are the same in the two gift packs. The day cream in THE SUN SET is URBAN PROTECTION daycream, while the day cream in THE SET is ANTI-POLLUTION daycream . URBAN PROTECTION day cream has a medium texture, sun factor 30 and UVA protection. URBAN PROTECTION day cream is particularly suitable for people with normal, combined dry and adult skin, as well as for those who want to prevent UV-related skin changes, all year round. ANTI-POLLUTION day cream has a lighter texture than URBAN PROTECTION day cream. ANTI-POLLUTION day cream is therefore particularly suitable for oily combined and normal skin, with large pores and for younger people.

Both creams are developed for Nordic conditions with an anti-aging focus. They have been tested in clinical studies and are well suited for people with sensitive skin.

You will find Anti-pollution day cream in THE SET gift box. The SET also contains SUPERFOOD multipurpose vitamin facial gel , ANTI-AGE night cream rich and WASH the day off facial cleanser.

You will find Urban Protection day cream in THE SUN SET gift box. THE SUN SET also contains SUPERFOOD multipurpose vitamin facial gel , ANTI-AGE night cream rich and WASH the day off facial cleanser.

Yes. We recommend that you use a day cream with sun protection all year round, even in winter. The reason is that the UVA rays are so to speak constant all year round, they penetrate the cloud cover and car windows. UVA protection is therefore something to think about all year round. We recommend that you use a day cream with broad-spectrum UV protection all year round.

Broad-spectrum UV protection means that the product protects against both UVA and UVB rays.

SPF is the same as sun factor, and indicates protection against UVB rays.

SPF is a measure of how long the skin can be exposed to UV rays without turning red, compared to if you had no UV protection.

SPF is a mathematical formula that is not linear. The figure in SPF shows the strength of the sun protective effect. Somewhat simplified, you can say that SPF15 filters out approx. 93% of UVB rays, SPF30 approx. against 97% of UVB rays, while SPF50 filters out approx. against 98% of UVB rays.

A high sun factor means that a product has a protective effect with either SPF30 or SPF50. The Cancer Foundation always recommends using factor 30 or higher.

The sun protective effect decreases with time. You must repeat the application approx. every two hours if you stay in the sun. Remember that you must use enough product to achieve the protection stated on the product. For the face and neck, it is recommended to use cream equivalent to the length of 2 fingers.

UV rays are electromagnetic waves that travel from the sun towards the earth. UV waves are divided according to wavelength. The wavelength has something to say in relation to where in the skin the UV rays hit and therefore which structures in the skin are affected.

UVB rays are what make the skin brown and tan. These are strongest in summer and in cloudless weather. Protection against UVB rays is indicated by SPF.

UVA rays are the main cause of age-related changes in the skin. The UVA rays are, so to speak, constant all year round. They penetrate the cloud layer and the windows.

UVA protection is indicated by the UVA mark - UVA with a circle around it or by the indication UVA-PF.

The requirements for labeling UV protection are the same for sunscreens and day creams with sun protection.

It is a product labeled with SPF30, it must have passed the same tests, and meet the same requirements for UV protection, regardless of whether it is a sunscreen or a day cream with sun protection. Remember that all products with UV protection (both sun protection and day creams with sunscreen) must be applied in sufficient quantity and often enough to provide the specified UV protection.

Water and sweat reduce the sun protective effect. If you are going to the beach or exercising in the sun, you should therefore use a sunscreen that is waterproof instead of a non-waterproof day cream with sun protection factor.

All the products in THE SUN SET have been investigated in clinical studies and proven to be well suited for people with sensitive skin.

THE SUN SET contains SUPERFOOD serum that contains vitamin A in the form of Retinyl Palmitate. If you are pregnant, you should avoid using SUPERFOOD. The remaining products are safe for pregnant women to use. It is safe to use THE SUN SET while breastfeeding.
