La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 SPF50

Based on the ingredients included, we believe that "La Roche-Posay - Cicaplast Baume B5 SPF50" can offer reliable sun protection. 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).

It also works as a moisturizer, so you do not have to use an additional hydrating product.
