    La Roche Posay Sunscreen Range
    La Roche or LRP has a range of sunscreens under the name of Anthelios. Depending on where you reside, the active ingredients will vary according compliance. The most important factors in the context of sunscreens include correct application, as well as frequency of use.
    SPF is a factor or ‘burn index’, namely UVB. A SPF of two means 50% of UVB is blocked. This means double the time you can spend under the sun before you burn. Now the part that most people don’t now-an SPF of 60 only increases the UVB protection by 1% compared to SPF 30. UVA wavelength goes deeper into your skin. This wavelength is responsible for skin ageing. Hence it is important to choose a ‘broad spectrum sunscreen’, acknowledging that long wave UVA is not blocked, even with the best sunscreens. In summary if one chooses a broad-spectrum sunscreen the most important factor in use is the correct application technique as summarised in the video and below.
    Now to give the Anthelios range of sunscreens a Dav Score-
    1. Skin science 5/5. Sunscreens are the foundation of all to come. Sunscreen has been shown to reduce sunburn as well as preventing skin aging. Studies show that up to 80% of skin aging can be prevented with sunscreen use. Broad spectrum sunscreens
    with UVA protection can protect the skin from accelerated break down of collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin. Sunscreens can also decrease UV induced immunosuppression.
    2. Ease of use 5/5. Sunscreen use is simple- apply 15-20 minutes before sun exposure for chemical sunscreens, or just before exposure with physical blockers such as titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. Remember to use the recommended amount- 5ml for face, and neck and reapply 4-8 hours after initial application. I realise some dermatologist recommend reapplication after 2 hours for maximal protection. I do understand the invitro studies, however for practical solutions, compliance with twice a day application should suffice. (The exception is with physical activities- especially outdoors and in water. 2 hourly application with a water proof sunscreen is recommended)
    3. Compatibility with other topicals. 5/5. Skin irritation with sunscreens are rare, allergies are extremely uncommon. Photoallergic side effects, especially to UVA are well known, however exceptionally rare. If you have sensitive skin, try a physical blocker. If you think you have an allergy, perform a ROAT or Repeated Open Application Test behind your ear, or inner forearm. Be guided by your medical dermatologist.
    4. Subjective feel 5/5. Remember this is subjective. I find the La Roche Posay Anthelios range of sunscreens one of the best on the market. Anthelios covers nearly every aspect of skin variable including sensitive skin, oily skin, and skin of colour with their tinted range. If I were to be picky, extending the tint to cover darker skin types would be useful.
    5. Packaging 5/5. Acknowledging that with TGA, FDA and CE regulations the actual ‘active ingredients’ will vary from country to country. Ingredients are clearly marked on the package (may need reading glasses to read, given the small print). Minimal loss of product with packaging. Refreshing to see LRP avoid marketing of spay-ons. With spray delivery SPF is compromised as sunscreen layer is too thin.
    6. Price 2/5- In the US, the rrp is $34 USD, in Australia rrp is $19 USD, and in Asia the rrp is around the $20 mark. Remember that is for 50 cc. If one uses 10 ml per day, as recommended by dermatologist, one 50cc pack will only last 5 days. Hence each application cost $3.40 USD. Expensive? Yes, however in the scheme of things spending money on prevention is certainly better in the long run than spending on antioxidants such as ascorbic acid, vitamin E and other topicals. If sunscreen reduces oxidative stress, prevention of oxidation is surely better than scavenging UV induced free radicals!
    Total Dav Score is 27/30.
    Summary: Sunscreens are the absolute foundation of skin care. This review focuses on only one brand of sunscreen. Most dermatologist will agree the ‘best sunscreen’ is the one you are going to use. Don’t get too stressed with the ingredients, just as long as the product is marked as ‘broad spectrum’. Practically speaking, if a sunscreen is cosmetically elegant, chances are you are going to use it!!!

      Honestly even with someone who has very sensitive skin like myself, i dont even bother wearing sunscreen when im indoors all day long.(yes im very aware of the UV rays seeping through windows and what not) however i feel like constantly wearing sunscreen can make my skin very irritated and congested even when using a mineral sunscreen. Of course if im outdoors ill sunscreen my body up.

      Yeah, same. I want to be diligent about it...but it just feels so good, to not have ‚stuff‘ on my face all day. I apply before I go outside. I do make sure to reapply, though, when I‘m outside in summer. I think, avoiding sunburn/redness really is crucial.

I have noticed aged spots and hyperpigmentation on my face lately and I was desperate to look for a sunscreen that works for me. Finally I tried this brand the extra fluid sun screen and everything is ok. I can wear sun screens now under my makeup, no hives or acne. I'm so happy. Thx heaps.

    Great video. Love your information. I worked for LRP.

I guess the product price reflects an imported French brand . Having used many cosmetics and skincare over the years I continue to use LRP. Sunscreen, skincare and cosmetics as their ethos is , pure , effective ingredients that are really gentle on your skin . I watch all your videos and tell friends about you .

    I love the blue one because it gives moisture and doesn't look so dry on the skin but also doesn't look shiny and its perfect for a glas skin. The others dry me out or give me rough patches or get into fine lines. And this way the whole skincare routine which I opt for hydration doesn't make sense anymore thats why my blue one is my saver. Also sensitive to the eye and didn't break me out as I have blemish prone dry skin

    That's the brand my doctor recommends! I've spent thousands of dollars on skincare and the main item that has made the biggest difference is SUNSCREEN. When I started gardening I was wearing sunscreen, but I was sweating, constantly wiping my face and not reapplying. The result at the end of the season was major hyperpigmentation, wrinkles and saggy skin. Now I wear SPF daily, year round and only garden later in the day and wear sunglasses, a hat and a heap of SPF set with mineral SPF powder so I don't sweat it off. I use Drunk Elephant, Murad, Olay, IT Cosmetics CC+ and a no name brand from Wal-Mart. Murad is best for under makeup, but the others act as a foundation (the DE is tinted and I add D Bronzi drops to the others). My skin has been significantly repaired, and Vitamin C serum has almost erased all my hyperpigmentation. It's never too late. I'm over 40 and once I stopped the damage and found a good skincare routine to reverse it, I'm nearly back to how I was 10 years ago.

I also loved the Tarte Youth or Dare Vitamin C serum, but had issues with oxidizarion with that one, too. I've tried many, and the Timeless Vitamin C serum is the best, and more affordable.

    In the US the only approved chemical filter that supposedly protects again UVA is avobenzone which degrades when exposed to UV. So if we want UVA protection we have to use an all mineral sunscreen or a combination formula with zinc oxide and chemical filters for UVB. Thanks for the video.

    The thing is:
    Sunscreens with SPF 30 filter 96% of UV rays which means that there are 4% going through, harming your skin.
    Sunscreens with SPF 50 filter 97% of UV rays which means that there are 3% going though, harming your skin.
    Comparing the amount of UV rays that can penetrate though the sunscreen, there is a difference of one fourth (-25%) damaging UV rays for the SPF 50 compared to the SPF30.
    So the 1% difference really is a misconception.
