Product summary

We assess that "La Roche-Posay - Anthelios Ultra Sensitive Eyes Innovation Cream SPF 50+" can provide reliable sun protection based on the ingredient list. 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.

Sunscreen filters

This sunscreen uses so-called "chemical", or organic UV filters (organic simply means that their molecules contain atoms of carbon). These filters typically give good sun protection and rarely leave a white cast, but they can be irritating for sensitive skin. These are the sun protection ingredients in this sunscreen: tinosorb s 2.10% - 2.60%, avobenzone 1.40% - 1.70%, mexoryl xl 1.60% - 2.00%, octisalate 2.50% - 3.10%, uvinul t 1.10% - 1.40% and terephthalylidene dicamphor sulfonic acid 0.25% - 0.45%.
