The ingredient list suggests that "La Roche-Posay - Anthelios Crème Solaire SPF50+ Format Pocket Familial" can provide reliable sun protection. We love that it can protect from both UVA and UVB rays (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).
Its formula is also hydrating, so you might not need an additional moistruizer during the day. This product prevents early signs of aging by protecting against sun damage (all broad spectrum sunscreens do that).
Sunscreen filters
This is a so-called "chemical" sunscreen. It means that it uses organic UV filters.

The UV filters in this sunscreen are: tinosorb s 3.00% - 3.70%, avobenzone 1.70% - 2.10%, uvinul a plus 0.70% - 1.05%, mexoryl xl 0.30% - 0.55%, uvinul t 2.00% - 2.40% and terephthalylidene dicamphor sulfonic acid 0.20% - 0.35%.
