Trust & Pharmacist Advice
Consistent and adequate sunscreen application is particularly important during sport because sweating, wiping the skin and prolonged outdoor exposure can reduce effective protection.
From a pharmacy skincare perspective:
- Apply sunscreen immediately before sun exposure.
- Apply enough product to achieve the labelled SPF protection.
- Ensure all exposed areas are adequately covered rather than making only one light pass with the stick.
- Reapply frequently and generously.
- Reapply after heavy sweating or wiping the skin.
- Do not rely on sunscreen alone during prolonged exposure.
- Wear protective clothing where appropriate.
- Use a hat and sunglasses when outdoors.
- Seek shade during periods of intense sunlight.
- Very high SPF does not mean complete UV protection.
- UV exposure can occur even when temperatures are relatively cool.
- Sun protection is particularly important when using retinoids, exfoliating acids or other skincare that may increase skin sensitivity.
- Keep babies and young children out of direct sunlight.
- Persistent or changing pigmented skin lesions should be appropriately assessed rather than simply covered with sunscreen.
La Roche-Posay explicitly advises frequent and generous reapplication and warns that no sunscreen provides 100% protection from the sun.
Not Suitable For
- Anyone with a known sensitivity to an ingredient
- Direct application into the eyes
- Use as the sole sun-protection measure during prolonged or intense exposure
- Babies or young children being deliberately exposed to direct sunlight
If significant skin irritation develops after application, discontinue use.
How to Use
- Apply immediately before sun exposure.
- Glide the sunscreen over the face and other sensitive exposed zones.
- Ensure an adequate and even layer has been applied.
- Reapply frequently and generously to maintain protection.
- Reapply after significant sweating or wiping.
- Avoid direct contact with the eyes.
The manufacturer specifically states that frequent and generous reapplication is required to maintain protection.

FAQs
1. What is La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVSPORT Pro-Resistance Stick SPF50+ used for?
La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVSPORT Pro-Resistance Stick SPF50+ is a portable sunscreen designed to provide very high protection during sport, exercise and other high-intensity outdoor activities. It can be applied to the face and sensitive zones and is designed for convenient reapplication throughout the day. The formula contains Mexoryl 400, which targets ultra-long UVA rays, alongside additional UVA and UVB filters.
2. Is Anthelios UVSPORT Stick suitable for running and outdoor sport?
Yes. High-intensity activity is specifically the use case for which La Roche-Posay developed the UVSPORT Pro-Resistance Stick. Its compact solid format can be carried easily during running, cycling, hiking or outdoor sport and used for regular SPF top-ups. The manufacturer describes it as its most efficient UV protection designed to withstand high-intensity activities.
3. What is Mexoryl 400 in La Roche-Posay UVSPORT Stick?
Mexoryl 400 is La Roche-Posay's UV filter specifically highlighted for protection against ultra-long UVA rays in the 380–400nm range. These wavelengths sit at the longest end of the UVA spectrum and penetrate deeply into the skin. The UVSPORT stick combines Mexoryl 400 with additional filters to create its overall SPF50+ UVA and UVB protection system.
4. Does Anthelios UVSPORT Stick protect against UVA and UVB?
Yes. The SPF50+ formulation contains multiple UV filters providing protection across UVA and UVB wavelengths. These include Mexoryl 400, bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine, ethylhexyl triazone, diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate and drometrizole trisiloxane. Sunscreen still needs to be applied adequately and reapplied frequently to maintain protection.
5. Can I use Anthelios UVSPORT Pro-Resistance Stick on my face?
Yes. La Roche-Posay specifically recommends application to the face and sensitive zones. The solid stick format makes it particularly convenient for targeted areas that may need frequent reapplication during outdoor activity. Apply generously rather than relying on a single light swipe, and ensure exposed skin is covered evenly.
6. Does La Roche-Posay UVSPORT Stick sting the eyes?
La Roche-Posay describes the UVSPORT Pro-Resistance Stick as designed not to run or sting the eyes. This is particularly useful during exercise when sweating can cause conventional sunscreen formulas to migrate towards the eye area. Direct contact with the eye itself should still be avoided, and any product accidentally entering the eyes should be rinsed away.
7. Does Anthelios UVSPORT Stick leave a white residue?
La Roche-Posay describes the finished product as leaving no residue and forming an invisible protective film on the skin. This makes the stick particularly practical for reapplication while outdoors, where customers may not want a visibly white or heavy sunscreen layer. As with any sunscreen, apply enough product to achieve adequate coverage rather than applying too sparingly simply to maintain an invisible finish.
8. Can Anthelios UVSPORT Stick be reapplied over make-up?
Yes. La Roche-Posay specifically states that the stick is suitable within a make-up routine and positions it as an easily transportable product for daily sunscreen reapplication. A stick can therefore be particularly convenient for topping up high-exposure areas during the day. Take care not to remove the sunscreen layer by excessively rubbing or blending after application.
9. Does La Roche-Posay UVSPORT Stick contain vitamin E?
Yes. Tocopherol, or vitamin E, appears in the official ingredient list. La Roche-Posay highlights vitamin E within the formula for its antioxidant skincare role and states that it helps defend the skin against environmental aggressors. The primary sun-protection effect of the product comes from its combination of approved UV filters, including Mexoryl 400.
10. How often should I reapply Anthelios UVSPORT SPF50+ Stick?
La Roche-Posay instructs users to reapply the sunscreen frequently and generously to maintain protection. During sport, reapplication becomes especially important because sweating and wiping the skin can reduce the sunscreen layer. It should also be reapplied following prolonged sun exposure. SPF50+ does not remove the need for regular reapplication or other sensible sun-protection measures.
11. Is Anthelios UVSPORT Stick suitable for all skin types?
Boots Ireland lists the UVSPORT Pro-Resistance Stick as suitable for all skin types. The solid format is particularly useful for people who want convenient targeted protection and easy reapplication during exercise. Anyone with known cosmetic allergies should review the full ingredient list before use, particularly because sunscreens contain multiple active UV-filter and base ingredients.
12. Is a sunscreen stick enough protection for a full day outdoors?
A sunscreen stick can provide SPF50+ protection where an adequate and even amount is applied, but it must be used generously. For extensive areas or prolonged outdoor exposure, many people find a dedicated face or body sunscreen easier for the initial application and then use UVSPORT Stick for targeted reapplication. Combine sunscreen with shade, clothing, hats and sunglasses, and remember that no sunscreen provides complete protection.
