FAQs

What is MEXORYL400?

MEXORYL400 is a new, exclusive UV filter developed by La Roche-Posay. It specifically protects against ultra-long UVA rays (up to 400nm), which are often missed by traditional UV filters and can contribute to deeper skin damage.

Is this tinted fluid suitable for daily use under makeup?

Yes, its lightweight, non-greasy texture and invisible finish make it an excellent base for makeup. Its tinted nature can also help to even out skin tone, potentially reducing the need for heavy foundation.

How often should I reapply the Anthelios Tinted Fluid?

For optimal protection, reapply frequently and generously, especially after swimming, sweating heavily, or towel drying. A good general rule is to reapply at least every two hours during prolonged sun exposure.

Does this product leave a white cast?

No, this tinted fluid is designed to provide an invisible finish without leaving white marks, thanks to its specific formulation and tinted nature.

Can men use this tinted sunscreen?

Absolutely. While it has a tint, it's designed to blend seamlessly and provide a natural, non-greasy finish, making it suitable for anyone looking for sun protection with a subtle evening of skin tone.

Does it protect against pollution?

Yes, the product contains XL-PROTECT, a patented filtering technology that provides broad-spectrum UVB/UVA protection and also helps protect against damage caused by pollution and infra-red.

Troubleshooting

The tinted fluid leaves a noticeable line or doesn't blend well with my skin tone.

Ensure you shake the bottle very well before each use. Apply a small amount and blend thoroughly using your fingertips or a sponge, working in sections. Allow a moment for the fluid to adapt to your skin tone before judging the finish.

My skin still feels greasy after application.

While the product is non-greasy, applying too much can lead to a heavier feel. Try using a slightly smaller amount and spread it thinly and evenly. Allow a few minutes for the product to set on your skin before applying makeup or additional products.

I'm experiencing eye stinging despite the 'anti-eye stinging' claim.

Although designed for sensitive eyes, individual sensitivities can vary. Try applying the product carefully around the orbital bone, avoiding direct contact with the eyelids or lower lash line. If stinging persists, consider using a mineral-based sunscreen specifically formulated for extremely sensitive eyes in that area.

The product appears separated or has an uneven texture.

This can occur if the product hasn't been shaken properly. Always shake the bottle vigorously for at least 10-15 seconds before dispensing. If the issue persists after thorough shaking, check the product's expiry date.
