Product summary

Based on the ingredients included, we believe that "La Roche-Posay - Hyalu B5 Aquagel SPF30" 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.

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. The UV filters in this sunscreen are: avobenzone 1.80% - 2.60%, mexoryl xl 0.85% - 1.25%, octisalate 2.00% - 3.00%, uvinul t 0.55% - 1.30%, homosalate 2.60% - 3.90% and octocrylene 3.60% - 5.40%.

Irritation risk

This formulation includes some common irritants, including ingredients that do not provide a benefit for the skin. We assess the overall irritancy of this moisturizer to be medium. For a detailed overview of all potential irritants: click here
