Popular La Roche-Posay SPF50+ face sunscreen falls below £14

One of Amazon’s bestselling premium face sunscreens has fallen below £14, offering a timely saving for anyone topping up their SPF supply.

The La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVMune 400 Invisible Fluid SPF50+ is currently £13.99 in a fast-selling deal, down from its £20 recommended retail price. That represents a 30% discount and a saving of £6.01 on each 50ml bottle.

Interest in the discounted La Roche-Posay sunscreen is already considerable. Amazon says more than 20,000 bottles have been bought during the past month, while the product has attracted a 4.5-star rating from over 17,000 reviews.

It has also secured an Amazon’s Choice badge, adding another reassuring detail for people unfamiliar with the formula.

The Anthelios UVMune 400 SPF50+ is primarily designed for the face and offers broad-spectrum protection against UVB, UVA and ultra-long UVA rays. La Roche-Posay says its Mexoryl 400 filter helps protect against ultra-long UVA rays associated with premature skin ageing.

Alongside the high level of protection, its popularity is likely to have plenty to do with how it is intended to feel on the skin. Heavy, sticky sunscreen can be bothersome when worn daily, particularly underneath make-up or during hot weather.

This La Roche-Posay face sunscreen has a lightweight fluid texture that is described as non-greasy and non-sticky. The clear formula is designed to absorb without leaving a white cast, making it suitable for all skin tones.

Its fragrance-free formulation is aimed at sensitive, reactive and intolerant skin. The SPF50+ facial sunscreen is also resistant to water, sweat and sand, which could make it useful for holidays, outdoor exercise and long summer days as well as everyday wear.

At £13.99, the deal works out at £27.98 per 100ml. That is still considerably more expensive than a typical supermarket body sunscreen, but this is a specialist facial product from a premium skincare brand rather than a large family-sized bottle.

The compact 50ml container should also slip easily into a handbag or hand-luggage liquids bag. It is worth remembering, however, that proper sun protection requires a sufficient amount to be applied and reapplied, particularly after swimming, sweating or towel drying.

Anyone comparing the offer should check that the £13.99 price is still displayed before ordering, as Amazon deals can change or end without much warning. Free returns were advertised at the time the deal was spotted.

With a 30% saving and thousands of recent purchases behind it, the £13.99 La Roche-Posay Anthelios deal is worth viewing while the reduced price remains available.

Sunscreen should be used alongside shade and protective clothing, rather than treated as complete protection on its own.
