UVMune 400 protection that keeps oily skin matte all day
La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVMune 400 Oil Control Gel-Cream SPF50+ Fragrance-Free is a facial sunscreen for combination to oily skin, including sensitive skin. It is built around UVMune 400 technology: the exclusive Mexoryl 400 filter covers ultra-long UVA rays, and eight filters in total protect against all UVA and UVB rays. Airlicium mattifying particles absorb excess sebum and keep shine under control for up to 12 hours, while vitamin E adds antioxidant protection. The formula resists water, sweat and sand and has been tested under dermatological and ophthalmological control.
The texture
A light gel-cream that feels weightless and dries down to a matte, dry-touch finish without a white cast. It sits well under makeup and does not sting the eyes.
Who it suits
- Combination to oily skin, including sensitive skin
- Shine that returns by midday
- Humid climates, sport and long days outdoors
- Anyone who dislikes heavy, greasy sunscreens
Worth knowing before you buy: the formula contains denatured alcohol, which helps the matte, fast-drying finish. On dry skin it can feel too mattifying; a hydrating UVMune 400 cream suits dry skin better.
