LA ROCHE-POSAY LAUNCHES NEW ANTI-AGING FACE SUNSCREEN CLINICALLY TESTED ON ALL SKIN TYPES

The new multi-benefit formula is made with key dermatological ingredients and Cellox-B3 Shield® technology that goes beyond sun protection

NEW YORK, May 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- According to the American Academy of Dermatology, skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States with one in five Americans developing skin cancer in their lifetime. Regular daily use of an SPF 15 or higher sunscreen reduces the risk of developing melanoma by 50 percent[1]. In 2010, La Roche-Posay introduced the SOS – Save Our Skin campaign to inform the public about the dangers of UV rays and the importance of practicing sun safe behaviors in order to prevent skin cancer. The brand's mission is to encourage consumers to adopt sun safe habits, by offering a complete assortment of sunscreens that meet the needs of all ages, skin types, and tones and promoting sun safe behavior.

Research shows people who use sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher daily show 24 percent less skin aging than those who do not use sunscreen daily[2]. La Roche-Posay's new Anthelios UV Correct SPF 70 Daily Anti-Aging Face Sunscreen is formulated with Cellox-B3 Shield® technology to correct and protect the skin from signs of sun damage. This sheer finish lotion blends easily on all skin tones in oxybenzone and octinoxate-free formula.

La Roche-Posay's exclusive Cellox-B3 Shield® technology combines photostable UVA/UVB filters to deliver broad spectrum protection and powerful antioxidant protection with Senna Alata, a tropical leaf extract known to defend skin cells against damaging free radicals caused by the sun. Cellox-B3 Shield® also contains niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3, known for its ability to help visibly fade skin discoloration.

"Recent research has shown that niacinamide can help visibly reduce signs of sun damage, like discoloration. This La Roche-Posay sunscreen incorporates dermatologist recommended ingredients like UVA/UVB protection, antioxidants, and Niacinamide in order to provide a daily anti-aging sunscreen solution," says Board Certified Dermatologist, Dr. Anna Karp.
