Is it true that using sunscreen as directed with other sun protection measures decreases the risk of skin cancer and early skin aging caused by the sun?

Yes. Extensive dermatological evidence supports the use of sunscreens and comprehensive sun protection measures to significantly reduce the risks of skin cancer and photoaging.

Verdict: SUPPORTED · 6 sources for, 0 against · Last checked

The analysis

The retrieved literature consistently supports the claim that photoprotection, specifically sunscreen use alongside other measures, decreases the risk of skin cancer (such as squamous cell carcinomas and actinic keratoses) and photoaging caused by solar ultraviolet radiation. Multiple reviews, clinical studies, and systematic evaluations confirm these preventive benefits. Therefore, the claim is well-supported by the current evidence base.
