THE WHAT? CeraVe, the top dermatologist-recommended skincare brand in the United States, has announced the expansion of its annual Sun Safety Day initiative to four major league ballparks this summer. Partnering with the New York Yankees, New York Mets, Chicago Cubs, and San Diego Padres, CeraVe aims to educate fans on sun-safe habits through product sampling and dermatologist-led sessions.
THE DETAILS Kicking off during Skin Cancer Awareness Month, CeraVe’s Sun Safety Day events will promote the importance of SPF usage, especially for children. With 1 in 5 Americans expected to develop skin cancer by age 70, the initiative is critical for spreading awareness about sun protection. Events will take place at Yankee Stadium, Citi Field, Wrigley Field, and Petco Park, featuring product giveaways and educational activities.
THE WHY? Dr. Amy Brodsky, founder of Sun Safety Day, emphasized the importance of early SPF education, noting, “Increasing access to SPF education, especially at an early age, is critical for reducing skin cancer diagnoses in the US. Working with CeraVe allows us to reach young fans early so they can adopt healthy habits for their future.”
Clinical aesthetics products refer to a category of products used in the field of medical aesthetics or cosmetic dermatology. These products are typically designed and formulated to be used under the supervision of healthcare professionals, such as dermatologists, plastic surgeons, or trained aestheticians. They are distinct from over-the-counter cosmetics in that they often contain active ingredients or formulations that require expertise in their application or administration.
Examples of clinical aesthetics products include:
-
Dermal Fillers: Injectable substances used to add volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Examples include hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm and Restylane.
-
Botulinum Toxin (Botox): Injectables that temporarily paralyze facial muscles to reduce the appearance of wrinkles caused by repetitive movements, such as frown lines and crow's feet.
-
Chemical Peels: Solutions applied to the skin to exfoliate and improve its texture. They can treat acne, pigmentation issues, and signs of aging.
-
Laser and Light Therapies: Devices that emit focused light or laser energy to treat various skin conditions, including acne, scars, and signs of aging.
-
Prescription Skincare Products: Formulations containing active ingredients like retinoids (vitamin A derivatives), hydroquinone, or prescription-strength antioxidants to address specific skin concerns under medical supervision.
