The UV/Visible Radiation Boundary Region (385–405 nm) Damages Skin Cells and Induces “dark” Cyclobutane Pyrimidine Dimers in Human Skin in vivo

Abstract excerpt

The adverse effects of terrestrial solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) (~295-400 nm) on the skin are well documented, especially in the UVB region (~295-320 nm). The effects of very long-wave UVA (>380 nm) and visible radiation (≥400 nm) are much less known. Sunscreens have been beneficial in inhibiting a wide range of photodamage, however most formulations provide very little protection in the long wave UVA region...
