La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Aquagel SPF30 50ml

Product Information

In an age when our phones are also our wallet, watch and GPS, I expect intelligent, multitasking efficiency from everyday skincare as well; especially SPF. And today’s best creams, make-up and sprays do double duty – providing skin-enhancing benefits alongside sun protection. Transform the way you protect your skin with La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Aquagel SPF 30 30ml. This lightweight serum formula applies like a gel and protects skin against UVA and UVB rays, while leaving skin with a healthy and hydrated glow. Moisturisers penetrate the skin, refreshing it by hydrating it and adding moisture, while sunscreens sit on the skin to act as a defence mechanism between your face and the sun- think of it like a blanket stopping the harmful rays from your skin. What advantage it has over a sunscreen mist is the additional skincare elements, that of hydration and skin-strengthening, those we can get on board with.

Something I really dislike about this product is how strong the scent is. It's not an unpleasant scent but I do find it too strong for my face. I wish it was much more subtle.

What's the difference between an SPF moisturiser and sun cream?

So, if you're staying in the sun for a prolonged period of time it's better to apply sunscreen with high SPF. What SPF should I use on my face? Choose an SPF number based on length of time in the sun and the intensity of the sunlight, which increases with factors such as latitudinal proximity to the equator, the higher the sun is in the sky, summer season and closeness to reflective surfaces. SPF30 lets about three per cent of UVB rays through; SPF50 about two per cent. If in doubt, try liberally re-applying with an SPF water spray such as Vichy Capital Soleil Solar Protective Water SPF30 Hydrating, with its lightweight and hyaluronic acid-enriched formula.
