LA Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra Light Fluid Facial Sunscreen SPF60 50ml

The La Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra Light Fluid Facial Sunscreen SPF60 is a multi-award-winning, dermatologist-developed facial sunscreen that delivers advanced broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection in an ultra-lightweight, matte-finish fluid — suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and combination skin. Part of the iconic Anthelios sun care range, trusted by dermatologists worldwide, this formula is built around La Roche-Posay’s proprietary Cell-Ox Shield® Technology — an optimized system combining photostable chemical UV filters with a powerful antioxidant complex to protect the skin from both UV radiation and the oxidative free radical damage that UV exposure generates. The result is a fast-absorbing, non-whitening, oil-free sunscreen that leaves a smooth matte finish — ideal as a daily standalone SPF or as a lightweight makeup base.

The UV protection system consists of four well-established chemical filters working in synergy. Avobenzone (3%) is the primary UVA filter, providing protection across the full UVA spectrum including UVA-I (the deepest-penetrating, most photoaging UV rays). Octocrylene (7%) stabilizes Avobenzone against photodegradation while contributing UVB and UVA-II coverage — ensuring the formula remains photostable and effective throughout sun exposure. Homosalate (10%) and Octisalate (5%) round out the UVB protection system, boosting overall SPF efficacy and enhancing the formula’s water resistance. Together, these four filters deliver seamless SPF60 broad-spectrum coverage without Oxybenzone or Octinoxate — two UV filters increasingly avoided in modern sun care formulations. Diethylhexyl Syringylidenemalonate (DESM) further enhances photostability by acting as a dedicated photostabilizer for Avobenzone, improving critical wavelength and boosting overall SPF performance.

The antioxidant arm of the Cell-Ox Shield® Technology is anchored by Cassia Alata (Senna Alata) Leaf Extract — a tropical plant extract clinically shown to defend skin cells in the upper epidermal layer against free radicals generated by UV exposure, helping to neutralize oxidative damage and reduce the cumulative effects of photoaging. Tocopherol (Vitamin E) adds a second layer of antioxidant protection, neutralizing free radicals and working synergistically with the UV filters for comprehensive skin defense. Silica microspheres give the formula its signature matte, smooth-skin finish — absorbing excess oil and sebum throughout the day, refining visible texture, and creating an ideal base for makeup application. Dimethicone conditions the skin and reduces moisture loss. La Roche-Posay’s selenium-rich Thermal Spring Water soothes and restores the skin throughout the formula. Water resistant for up to 80 minutes. Dermatologically tested, tested on sensitive skin. Made in France.
