La Roche-Posay Anthelios AOX Face Serum with Sunscreen SPF 50

Based on the ingredient list, we assess that "La Roche-Posay - Anthelios AOX Face Serum with Sunscreen SPF 50" can provide 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).

Because it includes good moisturizing ingredients, it can also work as a hydrating day cream. Like all broad-spectrum sunscreens, this product helps prevent early signs of aging.
