Every day, dermatologist observe the severe skin damage caused by UVA and UVB ray exposure.

UVB rays mainly cause Burning

They are stopped by the epidermis. They cause tanning and are mainly responsible for sunburn. SPF or "Sun Protection Factor" is the degree of protection a sunscreen offers against UVB rays.

UVA rays mainly cause Aging or Sun Allergies

They penetrate deeper into the skin then UVB rays and can reach into the dermis. UVA rays directly contribute to skin aging (wrinkles, sagging, dark spots) and are the #1 cause of sun intolerance (allergies).

Both UVA and UVB ray have been proven to cause damage to skin cells, including DNA, and to weaken the immune system. These damage potentially lead to the development of skin cancer.

A pioneer in UV protection research for over 15 years, La Roche-Posay, with Anthelio, is trusted by dermatologies worldwide for its advanced formulations in UVA protection.

Comments about La Roche-Posay Anthelios Mineral Ultra Light Sunscreen Fluid, SPF 50, 1.7 oz:

Of this line's series of face sunblocks, this product was rated the lowest risk for chemical content at the EWG web site, which I always consult before buying cosmetics.

I find it almost invisible, and I just use a little bit. I don't rub it in hard (I want a barrier) and the very slight white goes away quickly. It protects my sensitive combination 50 year-old, but still-prone-to-break-out, skin just beautifully.

I love the matte finish, especially on my nose!

Comments about La Roche-Posay Anthelios Mineral Ultra Light Sunscreen Fluid, SPF 50, 1.7 oz:

I was really looking forward to this product, wanting to find stronger spf protection for my face in the summer. The consistency is thin but feels greasy, but not bad once it is rubbed in. The problem is every time I used it I broke out on my chin. Which is sort of funny because I use and love their benzoyl peroxide product for my occasional zit. They have alot of different selections for spf and I want to try another but am afraid it will be a waste of money. My husband likes this product, so he will be using the rest of it.

Comments about La Roche-Posay Anthelios Mineral Ultra Light Sunscreen Fluid, SPF 50, 1.7 oz:

I use this as my daily sunscreen. It does not have a strong smell. When I am applying it there is a white-ish tinge, but as soon as you rub it all in, it goes away. I have very sensitive skin, and this has not caused any problems. I also have combo oily/dry skin and it does not dry out the dry parts and it makes the oily parts less shiny, for a short while.
