La Roche-Posay is a French pharmacy skincare brand known for its innovative facial sunscreens that go beyond sun protection, offering real skincare benefits. In this post, we’ll help you figure out which La Roche-Posay sunscreen best fits your needs, while also breaking down the differences between the various product lines within the brand’s broader sun care range, Anthelios.
On this post:
UVAir
La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVAir Fluid SPF50+
As of 2025, Anthelios UVAir is the brand’s latest release: it’s a daily facial sunscreen that offers very high protection with SPF50+ and PA++++. Suitable for all skin types, including combination and oily, this sunscreen features an ultra-lightweight, oil-free texture that looks and feels invisible on the skin.
But where it truly stands out is in its skincare benefits: formulated with hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, this sunscreen keeps the skin hydrated for up to 24 hours, all the while protecting against oxidation and pollution throughout the day.

UVMune 400
Right now, UVMune 400 is La Roche-Posay’s flagship sun protection range. It features two major innovations: UVMune 400 technology, a complex that combines eight sun filters for extremely broad-spectrum protection, and (zooming in now) Mexoryl 400, a standout filter within the complex.
Developed exclusively by La Roche-Posay to protect against ultra-long UVA rays, considered among the most insidious for the skin, Mexoryl 400 is the unsung hero of this sunscreen line.
The UVMune 400 collection includes several products in a range of textures: the Invisible Fluid, a best-selling ultra-light sunscreen that suits most people; the Hydrating Cream, for dry skin; the Oil Control Fluid and Oil Control Gel-Cream, both for combination to oily skin; and finally, the Anti-Dark Spot Fluid, for added prevention and correction of dark spots.

Anthelios Correct
There are two Anthelios sunscreens with the word “Correct” in the name, and they’re exactly what you’d expect: daily sunscreens that not only offer broad-spectrum protection but also include dermatological actives to help prevent and correct specific skin concerns.
First up, there’s Age Correct, formulated with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and Phe-Resorcinol to target signs of aging. There’s also Oil Correct, with a 12-hour mattifying effect that also helps reduce the appearance of imperfections.

Anthelios KA+ Med
La Roche-Posay Anthelios 100 KA+ MED Cream
Anthelios KA+ Med is a sunscreen formulated for the prevention of actinic keratosis (AK), a condition characterized by skin lesions that occur due to progressive sun damage to skin cells.
With three key benefits, this product offers very high broad-spectrum protection, helps strengthen the skin barrier, and promotes the skin’s natural mechanisms of DNA repair. As part of a broader treatment plan, this sunscreen can be used to prevent or manage actinic keratosis over time, gradually improving the appearance of existing skin lesions.
