Product Summary

"La Roche-Posay - Rosaliac SPF30 Anti-Redness CC Cream" does not provide enough UVA protection. UVA rays do not cause sunburn, but still damage the skin, leading to early signs of aging and pigmentation issues.

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

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. The UV filters in this sunscreen are: octinoxate 1.90% - 2.40%, octisalate 2.00% - 2.50% and octocrylene 3.20% - 3.90%.

Moisturizing

Moisturizing

This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.

The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water. When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job: glycerin, butylene glycol.

This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: butyrospermum parkii butter, dimethiconol.

Dimethiconol0.3% - 0.55%

Irritation risk:Concentration:Effectiveness:HIGH

A silicone that makes products more spreadable and keeps skin smooth. Helps to add gloss to skin and may visually fill in fine lines/wrinkles for short time

Butyrospermum parkii butter4.2% - 5.1%

Irritation risk:Comedogenicity:HighConcentration:Effectiveness:HIGH

A great moisturising ingredient that softens the skin and reduces water loss from its upper layer. It also can be helpful in protecting skin from free radicals

Glycerin4.4% - 5.3%

Irritation risk:Concentration:Effectiveness:HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant

Diisopropyl sebacate3.1% - 3.8%

Irritation risk:Concentration:Effectiveness:MEDIUM

Helps soften the upper layer of the skin without creatng a greasy finish

Peg-12 dimethicone0.4% - 0.65%

Irritation risk:Concentration:Effectiveness:MEDIUM

Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and create a nice product texture

Caprylyl glycol0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:Concentration:Effectiveness:LOW

Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture

Butylene glycol1.2% - 1.4%

Irritation risk:Concentration:Effectiveness:LOW

Used to create a nice product texture and help delivery of other ingredients. Might be somewhat helpful in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin

What does the product description say?

Rosaliac SPF30 Anti-Redness CC Cream

Source: From product name

This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.This ingredient - butyrospermum parkii butter - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.

The biggest anti-aging effect in this product comes from sun protection. Sun damage is the main factor causing early signs of skin aging. We, however, do not recommend using this product as a sunscreen because the protection it offers is not strong enough).

Butyrospermum parkii butter4.2% - 5.1%

Irritation risk:Comedogenicity:HighConcentration:Effectiveness:LOW

A great moisturising ingredient that softens the skin and reduces water loss from its upper layer. It also can be helpful in protecting skin from free radicals

Sun protection

This product does not offer good protection against UVA rays.

Octocrylene3.2% - 3.9%

Irritation risk:Concentration:Effectiveness:HIGH

A weak sunscreen that protects against the sun rays that cause sunburn (UVB) and is somewhat effective against the UVA rays. It is quite stable and can help stabilize other, more vulnerable, sunscreen ingredients like Avobenzone. It is an organic, or so called "chemical" sunscreen

Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate1.9% - 2.4%

Irritation risk:Concentration:Effectiveness:MEDIUM

Octinoxate. When used in higher concentrations, works as a sunscreen protecting the skin from UVB rays. When used in lower concentration, helps to preserve the product formulation. Is shown to be harmful to coral reefs - consider avoiding bathing in coral reef areas when wearing a product with this ingredient. It can be irritating

Ethylhexyl salicylate2% - 2.5%

Irritation risk:Concentration:Effectiveness:LOW

Octisalate. A UV filter. It offers some protection against the sun rays that cause sunburn (UVB), but does not protect against the most aging sun rays (UVA). It loses its effectiveness quickly when exposed to sunlight. It is an organic, or so called "chemical" sunscreen

Iron oxides0.15% - 0.25%

Irritation risk:Concentration:Effectiveness:LOW

An umbrella term for the following three colorants: CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499. They might be able to offer some protection against visible light, but the degree of the protection is not clear

Titanium dioxide0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:Concentration:Insufficient!

Works as a UV filter when used in high concentrations. It is photostable and is effective mostly against the UVB light, with some protection in the UVA range. In small concentrations, used for its ability to improve the color of cosmetic products. Is usually well tolerated by the skin
