FAQs

How often should I reapply the sun stick?

You should reapply frequently and generously, at least every two hours, and especially after swimming, perspiring, or towel-drying to maintain protection.

Can I use this on my body?

This stick is primarily designed for facial application and on-the-go touch-ups. For larger body areas, a lotion or spray sunscreen might be more practical.

Is this sunscreen suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, the La Roche-Posay Anthelios line, including this sun stick, is generally formulated for sensitive skin. However, always patch test if you have specific concerns.

Does the sun stick leave a white cast?

No, it is designed to provide an invisible, transparent finish with a satin glow, without leaving a white cast.

How does Vitamin E and Astaxanthin benefit my skin?

Vitamin E helps to hydrate the skin, while Astaxanthin is a potent antioxidant that helps neutralize free radicals and supports the skin barrier, contributing to skin health.

Can I wear this under or over makeup?

Yes, this sun stick is formulated to glide on effortlessly, even over makeup, making it ideal for reapplication without disturbing your existing base.

What is the size of the product?

The product size is 10ml.

Troubleshooting

Stick is difficult to twist up or down.

Ensure there is no product residue around the twisting mechanism. If it feels stiff, gently try to twist it. Avoid forcing it. Store at room temperature.

Product leaves a visible residue.

Ensure the skin is clean and dry before application. Glide the stick lightly and evenly. If a residue is visible, gently blend with fingertips or a clean brush. Reapplication over makeup works best with a light touch.

Skin feels sticky or heavy after application.

This product is designed for a lightweight, satin finish. If you experience a sticky sensation, you may be applying too much product. Try a lighter application. Ensure the skin is clean before applying.

Product effectiveness seems reduced.

Ensure you are reapplying frequently, especially after sweating or exposure to water. Check the expiry date. For prolonged sun exposure, consider using a lotion-based sunscreen for initial application on larger areas.
