Voted InStyle Magazine’s 2008 Best Sunscreen for Face

Finally, approved by the FDA. Anthelios SX is a daily moisturizing cream with an SPF 15 sunscreen.
The combination of these three UV active ingredients is complementary and their selection for the product provides continuous protection across the entire UV spectrum (290 - 400 nm range), with high protection in the UVA range, i.e., ecamsule (Mexoryl™SX) is the "gap-filler" in the UV spectrum between octocrylene and avobenzone curves.
• Octocrylene protects against UVB rays.
• Avobenzone protects against long UVA rays and is stabilized by Octocrylene.
• Mexoryl™ SX is photostable and protects against short UVA rays to allow the most complete broad spectrum protection with the highest UVA coverage.
What is MEXORYL™ SX?
MEXORYL™ SX is the most effective organic UV filter that protects against UVA rays (maximum absorption at 344nm) with high photostability, a key factor in sunscreen protection efficacy. This high photostability means the sunscreen will maintain a higher UVA protective ability longer and not degrade as quickly as other UVA filters when exposed to the sun.
•• La Roche-Posay recommends a consultation with a dermatologist to recommend the ultimate skin care regimen.

Recommended Use: For maximum results, apply liberally to face, neck décolletté, hands, and other exposed areas of the body.
La Roche-Posay recommends a skin care consultation before purchase of their products. Please call our Skin Care Experts with any questions before purchase.

this was recommended by my dermo and i absolutely love it. it`s lightweight and non-oily. this lotion is the perfect balance for my skin and is the first thing i apply after showering. i`d give it 6 stars if i could!

I took this to try on a Caribbean vacation. This product not only made my sister and my skin break out, it did not protect us from the sun. We burned! (And, while my skin is medium, hers is much darker.) It ran into our eyes and burned and was a total waste. Meanwhile, the Kara Vita I brought on vacation as well, did the job great!

All broad spectrum products protect against UVA rays--those coming in the windows. Zinc Oxide and Titanium are chemical free options for excellent UVA and UVB protection

This cream was recommended to me at a med spa, it provides excellent sun protection. I live on an island that is sunny year round, this is the only product that works all day! worth a try

did you know that this product is the only one to protect you against the rays that cross the windows? (and they are the one that age your skin!!).

I am thrilled
