La Roche-Posay Anthelios Invisible Fluid SPF 30 – High sun protection for sensitive skin prone to sun allergies

Product description

The La Roche-Posay Anthelios Invisible Fluid SPF 30 is an ultra-light sunscreen fluid for the face, neck, and décolleté, specially developed for sensitive skin and skin prone to sun allergies. With an SPF of 30, it provides high protection against harmful UVA and UVB radiation and helps protect the skin against sun-induced damage.

This dermatological sun fluid combines effective broad-spectrum protection with a particularly light, virtually invisible texture. It spreads effortlessly on the skin, absorbs comfortably, and leaves behind neither a greasy nor a sticky film.

Thanks to its extra water-resistant, sweat-resistant, and sand-repellent formula, the Anthelios Invisible Fluid is particularly suitable for daily use as well as for sporting activities and extended periods outdoors.

The special Intellimer technology contributes to an even distribution of the formula on the skin and supports a comfortable, invisible finish. The fluid was developed to be used on the delicate eye area and, according to the manufacturer, does not sting the eyes.

The product is also suitable for contact lens wearers and people with sensitive skin or skin prone to sun allergies.

The formula contains neither oxybenzone nor octinoxate. These two UV filters are the subject of debate, partly due to their potential impact on marine ecosystems. However, the absence of these substances does not mean that the product is proven to be harmless to corals or other marine organisms.

The La Roche-Posay Anthelios Invisible Fluid SPF 30 thus offers a combination of high sun protection, good skin tolerance, and a light texture that can be ideally integrated into your daily facial skincare routine.

Active ingredients and their properties

Broad-spectrum UV filters – High UVA and UVB protection

The formula contains a combination of modern UV filters that provide high protection against UVA and UVB radiation.

With an SPF of 30, the sun fluid protects against UVB-induced sunburn while helping to counteract UVA-induced skin damage.

UVA rays can reach deeper skin layers and contribute to premature skin aging. UVB rays are primarily responsible for sunburn.

The combination of various UV filters therefore supports comprehensive protection against the harmful effects of solar radiation.

Mexoryl SX and Mexoryl XL – Supplementary UVA and UVB protection

The sun fluid contains, among others, the UV filters Terephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid (Mexoryl SX) and Drometrizole Trisiloxane (Mexoryl XL).

These filters supplement the UV protection system and help to protect the skin against various ranges of UV radiation.

Vitamin E – Antioxidant skin care

The formula contains tocopherol, a form of vitamin E.

Vitamin E has antioxidant properties and helps neutralize free radicals that can be produced by external environmental influences.

As a result, it supports the protection of the skin against oxidative stress and complements the effect of the included UV filters.

Glycerin – Moisturizing care

Glycerin is a proven moisture-binding ingredient.

It supports the skin's moisture balance and helps maintain a supple and nourished skin feeling.

Silica and Perlite – Pleasant, non-greasy finish

The ingredients silica and perlite have absorbent properties.

They help reduce excess skin shine and promote a pleasantly light, non-greasy skin feel.

Intellimer Technology – Even distribution and invisible finish

The special Intellimer technology supports the even distribution of the sun fluid on the skin.

This makes the product easy to apply and leaves an almost invisible finish without bothersome white residue.
