Safeguard Your Skin With La Roche-Posay Anthelios SPFs
In just a couple of days, the UK will spring forward into a new season that will see us embracing longer days and warmer weather. With these longer, sunnier days, many people will begin to spend more time outdoors enjoying the sunshine and the sense of wellbeing and contentment it brings. With that in mind, it's super-important to ensure that you're wearing your daily sun protection to shield your skin from the UV rays that are beginning to increase in intensity again as we head towards the summer months. Discover La Roche-Posay Anthelios and safeguard your skin.Â
We know that it's super-important to wear SPF all year-round to protect our skin from the sun's harmful rays. Now, as we head into the new season, it's the perfect time to spring clean your skincare routine and refresh your SPF collection to ensure that you're giving your skin the best possible protection. To help you do that, we're removing the VAT* from core sunscreen products from March 14th until May 31st as part of our initiative to support for Amy Callaghan's VAT Burn campaign to encourage sun safety and make sunscreen more accessible to everyone.Â
Why Choose La Roche-Posay?Â
La Roche-Posay is hailed as the number one dermatologist recommended brand in the UK**, so it's no wonder that it's loved so much by our customers and our Face the Future team alike if even dermatologists and skincare experts are raving about the innovative formulas and results.Â
Which Sunscreen Formula Is Best For You?
To help you decide what SPF to choose to get the best sun protection, we asked Dr. Zainab Laftah, skin consultant and skincare expert, for her advice.
"Always opt for a sunscreen with a 40-50 UVB protection and a 4–5-star UVA rating." She says. "My top three sunscreens are Anthelios UVMume 400 Hydrating Cream which is great for dry, sensitive skin. Anthelios UVmune 400 Invisible Fluid which is great for blemish-prone skin. And Anthelios Age Correct which is perfect for those with pigmentation."
Top Three La Roche-Posay SPFs To Safeguard Your SkinÂ
La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVmune 400 Invisible Fluid SPF 50+
La Roche-Posay's Anthelios UVmune 400 Invisible Fluid SPF 50+ is a powerful sunscreen specifically formulated for sensitive skin. This fragrance-free formula offers very high protection against both UVA and UVB rays, the sun's harmful rays that can cause sunburn and premature ageing as well as melanoma.Â
The innovative MEXORYL 400â„¢ filter helps shield your skin from even ultra-long UVA rays, providing an extra layer of defense. The lightweight, invisible formula absorbs quickly and leaves no white cast, greasy residue, or stickiness. It's perfect for active lifestyles or just for everyday wear, and to keep you protected for longer, it's ultra-resistant to water, sweat, and sand.
Gentle on even the most delicate skin, this hypoallergenic formula won't sting your eyes, making it suitable for application around your eye area for complete facial protection. It's also suitable for all skin types and tones, and is referred to as one of the best sunscreens for sensitive skin.
What We Say
"I have been through a lot of bottles of this SPF and is by far my favourite SPF, it is lightweight and non-greasy. Adds a little glow to your skin and perfect to wear under make-up. The bottle makes it so easy to travel with and no white cast." - Blessing, Videographer
"I would really recommend this product as it is extremely lightweight and non-greasy which is ideal for an everyday SPF, especially for wearing under makeup. I'll also be taking this on holiday as it's a perfect size to pop in your beach bag to re-apply throughout the day!" -Â Danni, Senior Brand Manager
"Main thing to note is that It’s very different to any sunscreen I’ve used before in its texture and consistency.  It seems like a pretty great SPF, though - the soft, runny texture means it absorbs really easily and quickly into my skin. The kind of thing that I’m used to would take ages to rub in and leave a thick white greasy residue, whereas with this one, it's like you use it and then a few seconds later its gone. No trace, no lasting sensation. Very nice. It feels good on my skin - it's definitely something I can just apply quickly and easily and keep reapplying." - Jack, Junior Designer
La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVMune 400 Oil Control Fluid SPF50+ For Oily and Blemish-Prone Skin 50ml
La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVMune 400 Oil Control Fluid SPF50+ is your best friend for oily and blemish-prone skin. This lightweight, invisible sunscreen packs a powerful punch against the sun and shine.
Its innovative formula features UVMune 400, La Roche-Posay's most advanced filter, offering broad-spectrum SPF 50+ protection to your skin and shielding it from both UVA and UVB rays. This includes ultra-long UVA rays, providing an extra layer of defense against sun damage and premature ageing.
The addition of Airlicium technology, a unique combination of air and silica, absorbs excess oil for a long-lasting matte finish, making this one of the best sunscreens for oily skin. The lightweight, non-greasy formula won't clog your pores, making it perfect for those prone to blemishes.
Finally, Netlock Technology ensures this high level of protection comes in a comfortable, invisible texture that's water-resistant. So you can stay protected and shine-free throughout the day, even during sweating or light water exposure.
What We Say
"As an avid user of Heliocare 360 Gel Oil-Free SPF 50 and someone who suffers with sensitive and reactive skin, I was very cautious of trying anything new. I have always avoided Fluid SPFs, as I’m quite fussy with textures and how some SPFs can sit on the skin. However, after trying the La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVMune 400 Oil Control Fluid SPF50+ For Oily and Blemish-Prone Skin 50ml I am converted! With its lightweight formula, it really does provide invisible protection. As it creates a mattifying effect, it’s also perfect with or without makeup for up to 12 hours. (But be sure to top up every 2 hours! No excuses!) The Netlock Technology with the product really allows for it to be light, invisible, non-greasy and non-sticky. What more could you ask for?! A 10/10 from me!" - Charlie, Customer Service Operation Manager
La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVmune 400 Hydrating Tinted Cream SPF 50+

What We Say
"I love how comforting and hydrating this sunscreen is whilst also feeling lightweight - my skin doesn't feel greasy at all. You can get this formula in a tinted and an un-tinted formula, but I really enjoy the subtly tinted version as it makes my skin look super healthy and glowing. It also helps to blur out imperfections meaning I can confidently go foundation free knowing my skin looks balanced and fresh." - Senior Content Executive
