Most people know they should wear a daily face SPF. Fewer people do, and the texture is usually the reason. Heavy, greasy formulas that sit on the skin, pill under makeup, cause breakouts, or simply feel like too much — they create friction in the routine and they get skipped. The UVAIR Serum Sunscreen was specifically built around solving that problem.
UVAIR Technology creates what La Roche-Posay calls a Zero-Gram Feel Air Phase — a genuine innovation in the texture of the base that makes it feel closer to a weightless serum than a sunscreen. It absorbs almost immediately, leaves no residue, doesn't pill under makeup, and controls oil for up to 16 hours. In consumer testing, 9 out of 10 people who don't regularly use sunscreen reported loving this formula — which tells you something about how different the sensory experience is.
The filter system is comprehensive — Tinosorb S (Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine), Avobenzone (Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane), Uvinul A Plus (Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate) and Ethylhexyl Triazone together provide photostable broad-spectrum UVA and UVB coverage.
The skin care actives are the other reason to choose this over a filter-only formula. Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) is one of the most well-evidenced skincare ingredients available — it visibly evens skin tone, reduces redness, supports the barrier, and regulates sebum production. Sodium Hyaluronate provides up to 48-hour hydration. Tocopherol (Vitamin E) and La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water deliver antioxidant protection and soothing benefit. Perlite — a volcanic mineral — contributes to the oil-controlling mattifying effect throughout the day.
Available untinted, or in three tinted shades — Light, Medium and Deep — which offer a light, skin-evening coverage suitable as a standalone alternative to foundation for minimal-makeup days. All shades are invisible on the skin, with no white cast.
Allergy tested, dermatologically tested for sensitive skin, suitable for all skin types including oily and combination.
