THIS PRODUCT HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED AND REPLACED WITH Anthelios XL spf 60.
La Roche Posay's Anthelios is a unique sunblock product. Anthelios L contains mexoryl sx (ecamsule), a newly FDA approved sun filter (sunscreen) that increases the spf protection of other sun filtering agents and has been proven twice as effective in blocking UVA (those responsible for premature aging, wrinkles and some cancers) rays comparted to sunblocks without mexoryl. Compared to other sunblocks available, it is extremely stable in sunlight so you won't have to worry about its efficacy in block UV rays over time. Anthelios also contains avobenzone (Parsol 1789) and titanium dioxide resulting in a product with maximum sun protection. Anthelios is also available in spf 30 and 45 formulations.
Q: What is the difference between Mexoryl SX and Mexoryl XL?
A: Mexoryl SX is a water soluble form suitable for day wear sunscreen formulations. Mexoryl XL is an oil soluble form which makes it more water resistant and suitable for in physical activities . Both offer effective protection against both UVA and UVB rays. When combined together, the ingredients Mexoryl XL and SX (as in our newest Anthelios product the Anthelios XL spf 60) produce formulations that offer very high spf protection.
If you are looking for a good facial moisturizer with sunscreen, we recommend La Roche Posay's Hydraphase UV SPF 30. This is a lighter, yet hydrating formula that also contains mexoryl sx .
