A credible high-protection facial sunscreen with strong oil-control intent and a verified exact INCI, but the alcohol-heavy, fragranced formula makes it a better fit for tolerant oily or combination skin than for sensitive or dryness-prone skin.
Scored for skin — based on what its ingredients contribute.
What it may help with
Whether it provides direct protection against UV radiation.
From Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Drometrizole Trisiloxane, TEREPHTHALYLIDENE DICAMPHOR SULFONIC ACID, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine
Whether it can reduce excess sebum, shine, or greasiness — absorbents, sebum-regulating ingredients, and some acne actives.
From Zinc PCA, Alcohol Denat., Silica, Citric Acid
Whether the ingredient helps increase the skin’s water content — humectants that attract water, ingredients that reduce water loss, or ones that make skin feel less dry.
Whether it can help visible signs of aging — fine lines, wrinkles, loss of firmness, or photoaging.
From Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Tocopherol, Citric Acid, Hydroxyacetophenone
Whether it can help acne-prone skin — reducing clogged pores, excess oil, acne-causing bacteria, inflammation, or breakouts.
From Zinc PCA, Alcohol Denat., Citric Acid
Things to watch
Risk of allergic contact dermatitis or immune-based reactions. Fragrance allergens, preservatives, botanicals, and some dyes may score here.
From Fragrance, Alcohol Denat., Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Citric Acid
Risk of short-term irritation — stinging, burning, dryness, redness, or discomfort. Common for strong actives, acids, retinoids, fragrances, and harsh surfactants.
From Alcohol Denat., Fragrance, Citric Acid, Perlite
Whether it can make skin more sensitive to sunlight, raising the risk of sunburn or UV-related irritation. Relevant for some exfoliating acids, retinoids, and certain plant-derived ingredients.
From Citric Acid
Whether it can weaken or damage the skin barrier — harsh surfactants, strong exfoliants, high alcohol content, or overuse-prone actives.
From Alcohol Denat., Citric Acid, Fragrance
Whether it may sting or irritate around the eyes. Relevant for sunscreens, fragrances, acids, surfactants, and volatile ingredients.
From Alcohol Denat., Fragrance, Citric Acid

This is a facial SPF 50+ sunscreen from La Roche-Posay’s Anthelios UVMune 400 line, positioned for oily and combination skin with mattifying, sebum-control claims and ultra-long UVA protection. The ingredient list was verified from a named retailer listing that matches the exact brand and variant. The formula looks well-built for high UV protection and oil control, but the presence of alcohol denat. and fragrance makes it less suitable for very sensitive or easily irritated skin.
Summarised from public reviews across the web — subjective experience, not our formula assessment.
User reviews are broadly positive about the lightweight feel, invisibility, and protection, but some users report greasiness, pilling, and occasional irritation or strong scent.
