Direia STM Protect UV Cream — SPF50+ PA++++ Advanced Beauty Sunscreen

Where clinical-grade Japanese skincare meets maximum UV protection.

The renewed Direia STM Protect UV Cream is what happens when a brand known for advanced cellular-science skincare turns its attention to sun protection. This is not a sunscreen with a few token actives — it's a high-performance daytime cream built on Direia's signature STEM BIO COMPLEX, wrapped in SPF50+ PA++++ protection.

One elegant layer protects, conditions, and perfects — the sunscreen step, reimagined as the most advanced treatment in your morning routine.

Why You'll Love It

• Maximum-rated protection — SPF50+ PA++++, the highest Japanese UV rating, for daily defense in high-sun climates.
• STEM BIO COMPLEX — Direia's signature blend of human stem cell conditioned media, a Vitamin C derivative, and NMN.
• Hybrid exosome technology — The ingredient class defining the current generation of advanced Japanese and Korean skincare.
• Botanical protection layer — Pesticide-free Japanese rose and pomegranate fruit extract help defend against environmental stress.
• Skincare-grade supporting cast — Niacinamide, proteoglycan, royal jelly protein, hyaluronic acid, squalane, and DNA-Na.
• Doubles as a makeup base — A refined, conditioned finish designed to sit beautifully under foundation.
• Made in Japan — By The Grazia International, the lab behind the full Direia line.

The Science Inside

STEM BIO COMPLEX — the heart of the formula:

• Stem Cell Conditioned Medium — The celebrated ingredient class at the core of Direia's identity, prized in Japanese aesthetic-clinic skincare for supporting the look of renewed, vital skin.
• Vitamin C Derivative — Stabilized brightening support for a more even, radiant-looking tone.
• NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide) — The longevity molecule of the moment, here to support the appearance of youthful, energized skin.

Plus Hybrid Exosomes — Human adipose-derived mesenchymal cell exosomes, one of the most advanced delivery-and-conditioning ingredient classes in modern cosmetic science.

And a protective botanical shield:

• Domestically grown, pesticide-free Damask rose — Direia sources rose oil and flower water from pesticide-free Japanese cultivation for a pure, skin-respecting finish.
• Pomegranate fruit extract — A polyphenol-rich antioxidant classic.
• Edelweiss, chamomile, St. John's wort, artichoke leaf, and green tea extracts — A calm, condition-focused botanical layer.

Who It's For

STM Protect UV Cream is ideal if you:

• Already use (or are curious about) exosome and stem-cell-derived skincare
• Want your sunscreen step to work as hard as your serum step
• Are building a longevity-focused routine (NMN, niacinamide, peptides)
• Need serious daily UV protection that respects delicate or reactive skin
• Prefer a refined cream texture that behaves beautifully under makeup

How to Use

1. Complete your usual morning skincare first (toner, serum, moisturizer).
2. Dispense an appropriate amount and dot across the face.
3. Apply in this order: cheeks → forehead → chin → nose, spreading gently from the center of the face outward.
4. Add a second thin layer on the high points — nose, cheekbones — where sun exposure is strongest.
5. Reapply after heavy sweating or towel-drying.
