Product summary

Based on the ingredients included, we believe that "La Roche-Posay - ANTHELIOS UVMUNE 400 OIL CONTROL GEL-CREAM SPF50+ unfragranced" 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).

This moisturizer should also be hydrating enough to use without an additional moisturizer during the day. Like all broad-spectrum sunscreens, this product has an anti-aging benefit.

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: tinosorb s 2.20% - 2.60%, avobenzone 0.60% - 0.90%, uvinul a plus 0.55% - 0.85%, mexoryl xl 0.75% - 1.10%, octisalate 3.20% - 3.90%, uvinul t 2.50% - 3.10% and terephthalylidene dicamphor sulfonic acid 0.25% - 0.50%.

Irritation risk
