FAQs

What is MEXORYL400 and why is it important?

MEXORYL400 is a new, exclusive UV filter included in this formula that provides advanced protection against ultra-long UVA rays, specifically those up to 400nm. These ultra-long UVA rays can penetrate deeply into the skin, contributing to skin aging and damage, so protection against them is crucial.

Is this sunscreen suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, it is specifically designed for and tested on sensitive skin. It features a minimalist, non-perfumed, hypoallergenic formula and is tested under dermatological and ophthalmological control, including on contact lens wearers.

Can I use this sunscreen around my eyes?

Absolutely. This product has an anti-eye stinging formulation and has been ophthalmologically tested on sensitive eyes and the eye area, making it safe for application around your eyes.

Does it leave a white cast on the skin?

No, the La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVMune 400 Invisible Fluid is formulated with an invisible, lightweight texture that does not leave white marks or a sticky residue on the skin.

How often should I reapply the sunscreen?

For optimal protection, reapply the sunscreen generously and frequently, especially after perspiring heavily, swimming, or towel drying. A general recommendation is every two hours during sun exposure.

Is this sunscreen water and sweat resistant?

Yes, it is ultra-resistant to water, sweat, and sand. This makes it an excellent choice for outdoor activities and ensures prolonged protection even during active use.

Can I wear makeup over this sunscreen?

Yes, its lightweight, non-greasy, and non-sticky fluid texture provides an excellent base for makeup. It absorbs quickly and does not interfere with the application or wear of cosmetics.

Troubleshooting

White cast or uneven application

Ensure you shake the bottle well before each use. Apply a small amount at a time and spread evenly, allowing each layer to absorb before applying more if needed. The formula is designed to be invisible, so thorough rubbing can help.

Product feels sticky or greasy

While designed to be non-greasy and non-sticky, applying too much product can lead to this sensation. Try using a slightly smaller amount or apply in thinner layers. Allow adequate time for absorption.

Sunscreen stings or irritates eyes

This product is formulated to be anti-eye stinging. Ensure you are not getting excessive amounts directly into the eye. If irritation persists, rinse thoroughly with water and discontinue use if discomfort continues. Consult a medical professional if severe.

Reduced protection after swimming or sweating

This product is ultra-resistant to water and sweat, but no sunscreen is completely waterproof. Always reapply generously every two hours, or immediately after swimming, intense sweating, or towel drying, to maintain optimal protection.

Product separation in the bottle

This is often normal for fluid sunscreens. Vigorously shaking the bottle for 5-10 seconds before each application should remix the ingredients effectively and restore the proper consistency.
