La Roche Posay Anthelios

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.
