Harmful UVA/UVB rays from the sun can cause some serious and long-term damage, so it’s extremely important to protect your skin with a quality SPF. La Roche-Posay Sunscreens are designed to be worn comfortably on the face without leaving behind uncomfortable residue that can clog pores and leave skin feeling oily and congested. Their suncare line comes in a wide range of SPF options for maximum protection from the harsh sun. La Roche-Posay facial sunscreen is even available in a tinted formula to give the skin a light layer of coverage, and all formulas are great for sensitive skin.

Is La Roche-Posay Sunscreen Good?

La Roche-Posay Sunscreen is an absolute game-changer when it comes to facial sunscreen. Gone are the days of lathering heavy, oily, congesting sunscreen on your face and sacrificing the quality of your skin to ensure it’s protected from the harmful UV rays of the sun. La Roche-Posay are known for their sensitive skin friendly face products, and their sun care range is no different.

Made with a gentle formula that won’t clog pores or break the skin out, their sunscreens are also rich in sun-protecting antioxidants with SPF protection of up to 60+ for those brutal Southern Hemisphere Summers. The La Roche-Posay sunscreens have also been eco-tested to be respectful of marine life and won’t bleach coral or disperse harsh chemicals into our beautiful oceans–a win for your skin and our planet!

La Roche-Posay have been creating gentle but effective skincare solutions since 1897 and their results speak for themselves. Many of their formulas feature their iconic thermal spring water found in the French countryside that is known for its unique soothing and antioxidant qualities.

Which La Roche-Posay Sunscreen is Best?

La Roche-Posay Sunscreen For Oily Skin
Sunscreen and oily skin don’t usually get along too well, and once you add sweat and shine into the mix it’s game over. That is until La Roche-Posay Anthelios Dry Touch Untinted Sunscreen entered the ring! Oily or combination, acne-prone skin can enjoy a matte finish all day long without any fear of clogged pores or irritation. This formula contains something called Airlicium, also known as the “anti-sweat molecule”, and has the unique ability to absorb perspiration, sebum and oil up to 150 times its volume.

La Roche-Posay Sunscreen For Dry Skin
Dry skin can seriously suffer in the sun, so it’s important to protect it with the right sunscreen. La Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra Cream is designed for dry skin types to ensure maximum UV protection whilst also being hydrating and soothing on the face. This formula seamlessly melts into the face for a smooth application and comfortable wear.

La Roche-Posay Sunscreen For Sensitive Skin
La Roche-Posay are known for being friendly to sensitive skin, but for skin that needs a little extra care try the La Roche-Posay Anthelios Invisible Fluid Facial Sunscreen. This lightweight formula is perfect for daily wear on even the most sensitive of skin, with a high level of 50+ SPF to ensure maximum sun protection. This one is also recommended for wear underneath makeup thanks to its lightweight, barely-there texture.

La Roche-Posay Sunscreen For Acne Prone Skin
Acne prone skin can be protected from the sun with the lightweight, non-comedogenic La-Roche Posay Anthelios Tinted Fluid Facial Sunscreen. Not only does this sunscreen provide a high level of UV protection, it also creates a toned appearance and has a subtle tint of colour to even out skin tone and give a light coverage over blemishes. Its super lightweight formula won’t leave behind any sticky residue or greasiness and can be worn comfortably underneath makeup.

How to Use La Roche-Posay Sunscreen

Sunscreen should always be applied as the final step of your morning skincare routine. Layering different products in the correct order is important, and don’t forget to skip things like retinol and acids that increase sun sensitivity–these should be used only at night!

La Roche-Posay has an excellent variety of skincare products for all skin types that cover all bases of a complete and thorough skincare routine. Here’s a great example of a La Roche-Posay morning skincare routine:

Step 1: Cleanse the skin to remove any leftover residue of last night’s skincare routine to start with a fresh and happy base.

Step 2: Use a toning mist featuring the iconic thermal spring water to soften and soothe the skin and as an extra bonus cleanse. These toning sprays can also be used throughout the day as a quick refresh.

Step 3: Apply any eye creams or serums avoiding products with strong active ingredients that can increase sun sensitivity.

Step 4: Moisturise! La Roche-Posay has a stunning range of daily moisturisers for all skin types.

Step 5: Sunscreen should be applied last as it acts as a barrier to external aggressors, and of course, harmful UV rays that can damage the skin and speed up signs of ageing.

Step 6: Now that your canvas is prepared, you can apply makeup and take on the world!
