After all, with all the obvious advantages, the sun’s rays are insidious. They are the cause of such problems as:

The sun’s rays of types A and B affect us all year round. Type A rays are the most dangerous. They reach the earth’s surface even in cloudy weather and are the main culprits for photoaging of the skin of any degree of susceptibility to UV radiation. Sensitive skin is especially affected.

All products of the line have a high degree of protection – SPF 30 and 50. The products are focused on skin with different needs, including oily and sensitive. In addition, there is a special children’s line. There are other benefits to Anthelios’ innovative products as well.

Airlicium Technology

Airlicium is a NASA development, a new generation absorbent, an airgel derivative. It is an extremely lightweight material, consisting of 99% air and 1% silicon. The technology allows you to effectively absorb sebum (sebum), which is important for people with oily, problematic and combination skin.

Water resistance

This function is provided by Wetskin technology. How it works, explains Natalia Medvedeva, an expert at La Roche-Posay.

“The main difference between the new generation of products of the Anthelios line is that they can be applied to wet skin without worrying that the effect of sun-reflecting filters will stop. The combination of silicone and copolymers enhances the hydrophobic properties of the cream, creating a water-repellent barrier on the skin.”

Pocket Size

Two new products can be carried in your pocket – literally! And it’s very convenient.

Sunscreen moisturizer for face & eyes, SPF 30/PPD 20 Anthelios XL, SPF 30 (50 мл) provides reliable sun protection for sensitive and normal skin, and at the same time perfectly moisturizes. Its light texture spreads well.
