Product summary

"La Roche-Posay - Anthelios Pocket SPF50+" is using UV filters in a relatively low concentration. Because of this, it might not be able to provide reliable sun protection.

Its formula is also hydrating, so you might not need an additional moistruizer during the day.

Sunscreen filters

This is a so-called "chemical" sunscreen. It means that it uses organic UV filters. They typically offer good sun protection and rarely leave a white cast, but they can be irritating for some people with sensitive skin. Here are the exact UV filters in this sunscreen: avobenzone 3.00% - 4.40%, uvinul t 0.95% - 1.45%, octocrylene 0.20% - 0.80% and terephthalylidene dicamphor sulfonic acid 0.10% - 0.35%.
