Trust & Pharmacist Advice
SPF50+ sunscreen is an important part of protecting skin from excessive ultraviolet exposure, but no sunscreen provides complete protection.
From a pharmacy perspective:
- Apply sunscreen generously rather than relying on a light misting of the skin.
- Ensure all exposed areas are evenly covered.
- Apply before going into direct sunlight.
- Reapply frequently and generously to maintain protection.
- Always reapply after swimming, heavy perspiration or towelling.
- Do not use sunscreen to extend the amount of time you spend in strong sunlight.
- Combine sunscreen with shade, suitable clothing, sunglasses and a hat.
- Avoid strong midday sun wherever possible.
- Keep babies and young children out of direct sunlight.
- Areas including the shoulders, ears, back of the neck, feet and backs of the legs are easily missed during sunscreen application.
- People taking medicines that increase photosensitivity should take particular care with sun protection and can ask their pharmacist for advice.
- Any new or changing mole or unusual skin lesion should be assessed appropriately rather than simply covered with sunscreen.
La Roche-Posay recommends applying sunscreen generously before exposure and reapplying approximately every two hours, particularly after swimming, sweating or towelling.
Not Suitable For
- Anyone with a known sensitivity to an ingredient
- Application to broken or significantly irritated skin unless advised otherwise
- Use as a substitute for protective clothing and sensible sun avoidance
Keep babies and young children out of direct sunlight.
How to Use
- Shake well before use.
- Apply generously to the body before sun exposure.
- Ensure exposed skin is evenly covered.
- Reapply approximately every two hours.
- Reapply particularly after swimming, perspiring or towelling.
- Do not deliberately remain in the sun for longer because sunscreen has been applied.
Applying too little sunscreen significantly reduces the level of protection achieved.

FAQs
1. What SPF is La Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra-Light Spray?
This Anthelios body mist provides very high SPF50+ sun protection together with broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection. SPF50+ is particularly useful when strong sun exposure is expected, but sunscreen still needs to be applied generously and reapplied regularly. No sunscreen can provide complete protection from ultraviolet radiation.
2. Is La Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra-Light SPF50+ suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. La Roche-Posay specifically formulated the Ultra-Light Body Mist for sensitive skin. Its lightweight texture can be particularly appealing to people who find traditional body sun creams heavy or uncomfortable. If you have a known allergy or very reactive skin, check the complete ingredient list on your current pack before application.
3. Does this sunscreen protect against UVA and UVB?
Yes. Anthelios Ultra-Light Body Mist SPF50+ provides high broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB radiation. Broad-spectrum protection is important because SPF primarily describes protection against UVB, while appropriate UVA protection is also an essential part of a comprehensive sun-protection routine.
4. Is this sunscreen greasy or sticky?
The product is specifically designed with an ultra-light mist texture that feels fresh and light on application and leaves an invisible finish. This makes it a useful alternative for people who dislike the heavier texture of traditional body sunscreen creams and lotions.
5. How often should I reapply La Roche-Posay SPF50+ spray?
La Roche-Posay recommends reapplying the Ultra-Light Body Mist approximately every two hours and particularly after swimming, sweating or towelling. Sunscreen needs to be applied generously to achieve the intended protection, and applying an insufficient amount can substantially reduce the protection achieved.
6. Can I use La Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra-Light Spray every day?
Yes. Body sunscreen can be used whenever exposed skin requires UV protection. Daily sun protection is particularly important when spending extended periods outdoors. Sunscreen should form part of a wider sun-protection strategy that includes shade, protective clothing, sunglasses and avoiding excessive exposure during periods of intense sunlight.
7. Can I use this La Roche-Posay sunscreen for sport?
The original Ultra-Light Body Mist was designed as an easy-to-reapply sunscreen and La Roche-Posay specifically referenced on-the-go and sporting use. If you are exercising outdoors, reapply generously after heavy sweating and follow the directions on your current product packaging.
8. Can I spray it directly onto my face?
This particular product is primarily designed as a body mist. For facial application, a dedicated La Roche-Posay Anthelios facial sunscreen is generally the more appropriate choice. Avoid inhaling spray sunscreen and avoid spraying aerosol products directly towards the eyes, nose or mouth.
9. Does La Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra-Light Spray leave white marks?
La Roche-Posay describes the Ultra-Light Body Mist as having a light, invisible finish on the skin. This makes it particularly convenient for people who prefer sunscreen that does not leave the visibly white finish associated with some sun-protection formulations.
10. Is SPF50+ enough for very sunny weather?
SPF50+ provides very high protection when applied correctly, but it does not block all UV radiation. Apply generously, reapply frequently and combine sunscreen with protective clothing, shade, sunglasses and a hat. Avoid unnecessary exposure during the strongest part of the day, even when wearing high-SPF sunscreen.
11. Is La Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra-Light Body Mist discontinued?
La Roche-Posay's current UK product page states that the original Anthelios Ultra-Light Body Mist SPF50+ 200ml has been discontinued. La Roche-Posay now lists newer Anthelios spray products, including its UV Sport Invisible Refreshing Mist SPF50+. Customers purchasing remaining Ultra-Light Body Mist stock should check the physical pack carefully.
12. What is the difference between Anthelios Ultra-Light Body Mist and Anthelios Invisible Spray?
Both are high-protection Anthelios body sunscreens, but they are distinct formulations. The Ultra-Light Body Mist is an aerosol-style lightweight mist, while the current Anthelios Invisible Spray SPF50+ is a conventional spray formulation designed for sensitive skin. Always check the exact product name and packaging when purchasing.
