Common questions

Is La Roche-Posay Anthelios Anti-Dark Spots Fluid SPF50+ Sunscreen fragrance-free?

Yes. No fragrance, essential oils or fragrance allergens are listed in its ingredients.

Does La Roche-Posay Anthelios Anti-Dark Spots Fluid SPF50+ Sunscreen contain alcohol?

Yes. Alcohol denat., a drying alcohol, is the 2nd of 32 ingredients, high enough to be a main ingredient. It makes products feel light and dry quickly, but can dry out or irritate sensitive skin.

Is La Roche-Posay Anthelios Anti-Dark Spots Fluid SPF50+ Sunscreen safe for fungal acne?

It contains one ingredient that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: polysorbates (polysorbate 60). How much it matters depends on the amount and the rest of the formula. The evidence comes mainly from lab studies of yeast growth, and fungal acne needs a diagnosis from a GP or dermatologist.
