Based on the ingredients included, we believe that "La Roche-Posay - Anthelios Hydrating Facial SPF30 Sun Cream" can offer 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).
Because it includes good moisturizing ingredients, it can also work as a hydrating day cream.
