Description of action
MedMelano Hold On Tint SPF 50+ PA++++ is based on a mixed photoprotective filter system — a combination of organic and mineral filters provides a broad spectrum of protection against UVA and UVB radiation. The formula also contains iron oxides, which absorb HEV blue light and VL visible radiation — which matters in the context of daily exposure to screens and urban radiation. The ultra-light texture leaves no white cast typical of purely mineral filters and does not clog pores, making it particularly useful for oily and acne-prone skin.
The key element of the formula is the patented AstaCICA™ complex, combining astaxanthin with centella asiatica extract. Astaxanthin is one of the stronger antioxidants used in cosmetology — the complex reduces oxidative stress by 60% and decreases sun-induced redness by 33%. The anti-inflammatory action is reinforced by a licorice glycyrrhizic acid derivative (dipotassium glycyrrhizate), known for soothing skin reactivity and inhibiting inflammatory cytokines. Mineral pigments (iron oxides) give the skin a slightly evened-out tone without a full-coverage effect.
The product is intended primarily for skin requiring simultaneous photoprotection and support in reducing reactivity — including skin after dermatological procedures (peels, lasers, procedures requiring avoidance of sun exposure). Glycerin in the composition provides basic hydration without a heavy feel.
Who it's for
- Oily and combination skin with a tendency to excess sebum production
- Acne-prone skin requiring a non-comedogenic filter
- Reactive skin with a tendency to redness and inflammation
- People after dermatological procedures requiring high SPF protection
- People looking for a filter with light pigmentation that evens out skin tone, without full coverage
- People exposed to HEV blue light and VL visible radiation
Key active ingredients
- Mixed filter system (organic + mineral) — provides a full spectrum of UVA/UVB protection; the combination of both filter types eliminates white marks while maintaining high photoprotective efficacy.
- AstaCICA™ Complex (astaxanthin + centella asiatica) — neutralizes free radicals (reduces oxidative stress by 60%), decreases sun-induced redness by 33%, inhibits inflammatory cytokines.
- Licorice glycyrrhizic acid derivative (dipotassium glycyrrhizate) — has anti-inflammatory and soothing effects, reduces skin reactivity.
- Iron oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499) — absorb HEV blue light and VL visible radiation; simultaneously act as mineral pigments that even out skin tone.
- Glycerin — a humectant that binds water in the epidermis, providing hydration without a heavy feel.
How to use
- Use in the morning as the last step of your morning skincare routine (after serums and cream, before makeup).

Frequently asked questions
Is this a physical, chemical, or mixed filter?
MedMelano Hold On Tint SPF 50+ PA++++ uses a mixed filter system — both organic (chemical) and mineral (physical). This combination allows for high SPF 50+ protection with a light texture that doesn't leave white marks, which is impossible to achieve with purely mineral filters.
Does the filter protect against blue light from screens?
Yes — the iron oxides contained in the formula absorb both HEV blue light and VL visible radiation, which goes beyond standard UVA/UVB protection. This is important for people who spend a lot of time in front of computer and smartphone screens.
Is this filter suitable for acne-prone and oily skin?
Yes — the product is intended primarily for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin. The ultra-light formula does not clog pores, and mineral pigments even out skin tone without the effect of heavy foundation. The AstaCICA™ complex and glycyrrhizic acid derivative additionally soothe the reactivity and inflammation typical of acne-prone skin.
Does the cream leave white marks on the skin?
No — the mixed filter system (organic and mineral) eliminates the white cast effect characteristic of purely mineral filters. Iron oxides give the skin a slightly warm, evened-out tone that masks any lightening from mineral filters.
How often should the filter be applied during the day?
For daily urban use, a morning application as the last step of the routine is sufficient. During prolonged UV exposure, the manufacturer recommends repeating application every 2–3 hours.
Can it be used after dermatological procedures?
Yes — the product is indicated for skin after dermatological procedures requiring high sun protection. SPF 50+ PA++++ is one of the highest levels of protection available in cosmetics. The soothing formula with AstaCICA™ complex and glycyrrhizic acid derivative additionally supports the regeneration of irritated skin after procedures.
Does the filter have full coverage like foundation?
No — the product's pigmentation is light and evens out skin tone, but does not provide full coverage like foundation. The effect is a delicate unification of skin tone with a natural finish, not coverage of hyperpigmentation or highly pronounced imperfections.
Can it be used under makeup?
Yes — the product is applied as the last step of the morning routine, which means makeup (foundation, concealer) can be applied directly after it. The light formula does not create a heavy layer that would make applying subsequent products difficult.
