Finding Your Perfect Anthelios Texture
Not all sun protection is the same. To help you choose the right product from Inish Pharmacy, we’ve broken down the Anthelios sub-ranges by skin concern:
- For Everyday Wear (UVMune 400)
Our #1 best-seller, the Anthelios UVMune 400 Invisible Fluid, is ultra-light, non-greasy, and invisible on all skin tones. It features the exclusive Mexoryl 400 filter to protect against the most insidious UV rays.
- For Oily & Blemish-Prone Skin (Anti-Shine):
Look for the "Green Stripe" packaging. The Anti-Shine Gel-Cream and Invisible Mist use Airlicium technology to immediately melt into the skin and control shine all day.
- For Dry & Sensitive Skin (Hydrating):
The "Blue Stripe" Hydrating Creams provide intense moisture while protecting the skin, and are specially formulated to be anti-eye stinging.
- For Anti-Ageing (Age Correct):
The Age Correct SPF50 is a daily light cream that helps to visibly reduce wrinkles and dark spots while providing broad-spectrum protection.
- For Kids (Dermo-Pediatrics):
Formulated for the delicate skin of children and babies, these high-protection sprays and lotions are easy to apply and highly water, sweat, and sand-resistant.
Frequently Asked Questions: Anthelios Suncare
What is UVMune 400 technology?
- UVMune 400 is La Roche-Posay’s most advanced UV filter. It is specifically designed to protect against "Ultra-long UVA" rays (380-400nm), which make up 30% of the UV spectrum and penetrate deep into the skin, causing long-term damage that standard suncreams often miss.
Which Anthelios is best for oily skin?
- The Anthelios Anti-Shine Gel-Cream is the best choice for oily skin. It provides a matte finish and uses micro-particles to absorb sebum and sweat, preventing that "greasy" feel common with many sunscreens.
Can I use Anthelios under makeup?
- Yes. The Invisible Fluid and Age Correct versions are specifically designed to sit comfortably under makeup. They absorb quickly and act as a smooth, hydrated base without pilling or leaving a white cast.
How often should I reapply Anthelios?
- For maximum protection, you should reapply your sun protection every two hours, especially after swimming, perspiring, or towelling your skin.
