Product summary

Based on the ingredients included, we believe that "La Roche-Posay - Anthelios Anti-Shine Sun Protection Invisible SPF50+ Face Mist" can offer reliable sun protection. It can protect from both UVA and UVB rays. This is great news because not all sunscreens with SPF ratings give UVA protection. (UVA rays do not cause sunburn, but still damage our skin and lead to early aging).

It contains good moisturizing ingredients and can double as a hydrating day cream.

Sunscreen filters

This is a so-called "chemical" sunscreen. It means that it uses organic UV filters.
