Common questions
Is La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVAIR Serum Sunscreen SPF50 fragrance-free?
No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum") is the 33rd of 33 ingredients.
Does La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVAIR Serum Sunscreen SPF50 contain alcohol?
Yes. Alcohol denat., a drying alcohol, is the 2nd of 33 ingredients, high enough to be a main ingredient. It makes products feel light and dry quickly, but can dry out or irritate sensitive skin.
Is La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVAIR Serum Sunscreen SPF50 safe for fungal acne?
It contains 6 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty acids (myristic acid, palmitic acid); fatty-acid esters & glycerides (isopropyl myristate, glyceryl stearate, peg-100 stearate); and 1 more. How much they matter depends on the amount and the rest of the formula. The evidence comes mainly from lab studies of yeast growth, and fungal acne needs a diagnosis from a GP or dermatologist.
Is La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVAIR Serum Sunscreen SPF50 suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains fragrance and drying alcohol high in the list, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
Is there a dupe for La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVAIR Serum Sunscreen SPF50?
The closest formula from another brand in our catalogue is Garnier Vitamin C Wonder Tint SPF50 Medium Shade (71% ingredient overlap, 10 of the top 10 ingredients in common). A similar ingredient list doesn't guarantee the same concentrations, texture or results.
