Let customers speak for us
I’m almost at the end of my 1st bottle, and I never thought to see any results this early but wow was I wrong ! As someone who has always been a beach lover and used sunscreen I still have pigmentation, freckles and a couple of dry sort of scaly spots that wouldn’t go away, well until now ! Both spots have gone, my skin looks more even, brighter with fading pigmentation. I’m so impressed with such early positive results that I will continue this as part of my daily routine, along with sunscreen and no more sun worshipping. I cannot wait to see further results as months go on.
I had genuinely terrible skin: at 60 I was sun damaged and acne scarred. I discovered tretinoin and got serious about daily sun protection and skincare, and that’s made a huge difference. So I thought this was probably as good as it was going to get, but I was wrong!
I will update this review if this was just a mirage, but after 5 weeks of twice
daily Actaskin Sun Repair supplements I see a definite improvement. Less mottled, somehow plumper, smoother. Please tell me I’m not dreaming. I keep checking the mirror a bit astonished. I’m usually so sceptical, and I want to see the evidence, but so far -amazing! Thank you!
I am impressed, I definitely think I am noticing a difference in my skin.
I work as a Dermal Therapist/Laser specialist in a skin cancer clinic so I am super critical when looking at my skin.
I really think some of my pigmentation including some Melasma on the side of my face is starting to fade, I feel that there is a general improvement in my skin quality.
I'm excited that this could be a game changer for some of my Patient’s that have severe cases of Sundamaged skin.
I'm just about to re order some look forward to seeing further improvements.
Over the past month I've started to really love how my skin is looking. It looks more hydrated, have even had a few comments 🙂. My favorite part is that the melasma has faded, and looks like the cluster is breaking up. Purchasing a 3 pack to make sure I build this into my routine. Can't wait to see what changes I'll notice in the next 3 months.
My skin is a bit less red since using Skin Repair.
After years of sun-worshipping, the long term damage is beginning to show….
I do not let the sun on my skin at all without protection these days, & hopefully this product will help to slow the development of further skin lesions.
So far, so good…no obvious changes to skin as yet, but it’s only been a few weeks…Easy to take tablet…will write another review in another few weeks.
My skin feels so much less dry , smoother and hydrated. I have started using it only since a month ago . and I really love it . Thanks to Actaskin for coming up with this amazing product
I was a bit sceptical before starting this because I’ve taken vitamins in the past and not noticed any difference. Sun Repair is different! Im already noticing my skin feels softer and smoother. My derm told me this could help my skin but I didnt expect to see changes so quickly. Im so happy that I’ve signed up for the subscription. Im usually terrible at remembering to take tablets but it sits on my kitchen bench and I take it at breakfast and dinner. Hubby is going to start taking it this week. Im thrilled.
I don’t usually leave reviews, but I’m genuinely impressed! My face is less red and so much smoother naturally even without any moisturisers. I even got my husband on it. He has years of sun damage from tanning, and even his skin looks less red and dry.
Buying experience was fantastic, received products in record time so was able to start straight away. Im 3 weeks in, so early days but seems to work on skin blotches and healing sores already. Very Noticeable in short time.
Early days but one tablet in the morning and one tablet in the evening is so easy to implement into your daily routine so now I'm very much looking forward to seeing to continued results in my overall skin health over the next 12 months.
Enjoying making my skin repair a part of my daily routine. I’m already seeing improvement in my skin after a few weeks. Loved the personal note with my order.
Mechanism of Action
Nicotinamide
Boost Cellular Energy for Skin Repair
Clinically proven to reduce non-melanoma skin cancers by up to 30%
What Nicotinamide does
- Recharges your skin cells’ energy stores (via NAD+ production)
- Supports DNA repair after UV exposure
- Helps prevent error-prone cell replication
- Reduces the risk of developing new basal and squamous cell carcinomas in high-risk individuals
- Backed by a large-scale clinical trial in Australia
Why this matters
Every time your skin is exposed to UV radiation, it triggers DNA damage. Repairing this damage takes energy. If your skin cells run low on energy, errors can occur during repair, increasing the risk of skin cancer. Your skin receives the fuel it needs to repair UV damage properly, reducing the risk of skin damage.

Astaxanthin
Neutralises Oxidative Stress Before It Damages Your Skin
One of the most powerful natural antioxidants for skin protection
What Astaxanthin does
- Protects skin cells from oxidative stress and DNA damage
- Reduces wrinkle formation and fine lines
- Preserves collagen and skin elasticity
- Minimises sun-induced moisture loss
- Helps maintain a healthy skin barrier
Why this matters
Sun exposure creates reactive oxygen species that break down collagen, damage DNA, and accelerate signs of skin ageing like wrinkles and sagging. Astaxanthin acts as a bodyguard against UV-induced ageing and long-term skin damage.

Sodium Hyaluronate
Replenish Deep Skin Hydration for a Stronger, Healthier Barrier
Essential hydration support after sun exposure
What Sodium Hyaluronate does:
- Attracts and locks in moisture below the skin’s surface
- Restores hydration lost through sun damage
- Supports skin structure and plumpness
- Improves elasticity, smoothness and texture
- Reduces the appearance of fine lines and dryness
Why this matters
UV damage depletes your skin’s natural hyaluronic acid, compromising moisture retention and weakening the skin barrier. Sodium hyaluronate works deep in the skin to rehydrate, rebuild and restore suppleness after sun exposure.

Why we don’t use these ingredients
While certain nutrients are crucial for skin health, their efficacy through oral supplementation is often limited, and topical application or a balanced diet may be more effective for supporting skin health directly. We’d rather be honest about this than add ingredients that sound impressive but don’t actually benefit you — or your wallet.
No evidence for skin benefit: While biotin is essential for overall health, there is limited scientific evidence to support its direct effectiveness in improving skin health when taken orally. Most studies link biotin to hair and nail health, but not necessarily to skin conditions, and deficiency-related skin issues are rare.
Oral delivery insufficient for skin benefits: While vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant, its effectiveness in improving skin health through oral supplementation is limited due to poor absorption and metabolism. Vitamin C is known to be most beneficial for the skin when applied topically, as it directly reaches the skin tissue, whereas oral intake has to pass through the digestive system before reaching the skin, which reduces its efficacy for skin-specific benefits.
Limited evidence for skin benefit: While collagen is a critical component of skin structure, the benefits of consuming collagen supplements are debated. The body breaks down ingested collagen into amino acids, which may or may not be directed to the skin, limiting its direct skin-specific benefits. Studies suggest that oral collagen might have some impact on skin elasticity and hydration, but the evidence is inconsistent.
Limited scientific support for skin benefits: Luteolin is a flavonoid known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. However, there is insufficient clinical evidence to support its direct benefit to skin health when taken orally. Most of the research on luteolin focuses on its general antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, rather than its specific impact on the skin.
Insufficient evidence for oral supplementation benefit to skin: Green tea contains polyphenols like EGCG, which are antioxidants and have anti-inflammatory properties. However, while green tea extract may provide some skin protection and anti-aging effects, research shows that the benefits of green tea for the skin are more pronounced when applied topically. Oral supplementation does not deliver enough of the active compounds to the skin to produce significant benefits.
No evidence for skin benefit: Glutathione is an antioxidant that is important for cellular health, but the scientific evidence supporting its oral supplementation for skin health is limited. Some studies suggest glutathione can reduce oxidative stress, but there is little evidence to show that taking glutathione orally improves skin tone, elasticity, or reduces wrinkles.
Potential for side effects and limited skin impact: Zinc is important for skin healing, wound repair, and immune function, and some studies suggest it may help with acne and inflammation. While zinc plays a role in skin health, excessive oral supplementation may not necessarily lead to better skin outcomes and may not be as effective as topical treatments for localised skin issues like acne or irritation. Oral zinc supplementation can cause side effects like nausea or gastrointestinal distress in some people.

If you've spent time in the Australian sun, whether it’s beach days, morning walks, or years of incidental exposure, then Sun Repair is for you. It is designed for anyone who wants to actively support their skin’s recovery from UV damage. It’s especially beneficial for people who:
- Have had skin cancer or are at higher risk
- Notice signs of photoaging, such as fine lines or wrinkles, pigmentary changes, loss of skin elasticity, and skin thinning
- Have fair skin (Fitzpatrick types I–III), which are more susceptible to UV damage
- Spend a lot of time outdoors, even with sun protection (e.g. outdoor workers, athletes, active lifestyles)
-
If you're taking a tablet twice daily, clinical studies show a reduction in sun damage related lesions within 2 to 3 months. Other benefits like smoother skin, improved hydration, and reduced redness may appear earlier, depending on your skin's condition. The best results are seen after 12 months of consistent use. It's important to know that nicotinamide’s protective effects don’t last forever once you stop. In clinical trials, the benefits wore off within 6 months of stopping the tablets, with skin improvements returning to baseline. So, if you're taking it as part of your skin prevention strategy, think long-term.
-
It's best to take one tablet in the morning and one in the evening. This helps ensure a consistent level of the supplement throughout the day. However, if you miss a dose, taking both tablets together is still better than not taking them at all. Consistency is key for the best results.
-
Nicotinamide is generally well-tolerated, with minimal side effects. Sodium hyaluronate and astaxanthin are also safe for most people. In rare cases, some people may experience slight skin irritation or mild digestive discomfort, but these effects are very uncommon.
As with any supplement, if you have any concerns or notice any unusual symptoms, feel free to consult your healthcare provider to ensure it's the right choice for you.
-
This supplement is generally safe to take alongside most medications. However, if you are on any prescription medications or have underlying health conditions, it's always a good idea to consult with your healthcare provider to ensure there are no potential interactions.
-
Yes, this supplement is safe for long-term use when taken as directed. It has been shown to support skin health over extended periods, but as with any supplement, it’s a good idea to check with your healthcare provider if you plan to take it long-term, especially if you have any existing health concerns.
