We believe that "La Roche-Posay - Anthelios Dermo-Pediatrics Invisible Spray SPF50+ Fragrance Free + Lipikar Cleansing Oil AP+ Free" can provide reliable sun protection based on the ingredients listed. 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).
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).
