Ingredient breakdown
INGREDIENTSTinosorb S (Bemotrizinol) Up to 10%Proven
One of the most effective broad-spectrum UV filters available. Covers the full UVA and UVB range (280-400 nm) and is extremely photostable, meaning it does not degrade in sunlight. Also helps stabilize other less stable filters like Avobenzone.
- Study: A 2007 comparative study of 18 sunscreen agents ranked Tinosorb S as the most effective UV absorber at maximum permitted concentration.
- Range: Peak protection at 310 nm and 345 nm, covering both UVB and UVA.
Mexoryl XL (Drometrizole Trisiloxane) Up to 15%Proven
A patented L'Oréal UV filter that provides broad-spectrum protection across both UVA (344 nm) and UVB (303 nm) ranges. Highly photostable and frequently paired with Ecamsule (Mexoryl SX) for maximum UVA defense.
- Source: Approved in EU, Canada, Australia, and Japan. Patented by L'Oréal Group.
- Benefit: Photostable and synergistic with other UV filters for enhanced protection.
Avobenzone (Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane) Up to 5%Proven
The most widely used UVA filter globally. Provides strong protection in the UVA range (310-400 nm). Stabilized in this formula by Tinosorb S and Octocrylene to prevent photodegradation.
- Range: Peak absorption at 357 nm, providing deep UVA-I protection.
- Note: Globally approved and used worldwide including the US.
Uvinul T 150 (Ethylhexyl Triazone) Up to 5%Proven
A new-generation UVB filter delivering the highest photostable UVB absorption of all currently available filters. Oil-soluble, odorless, and colorless — ideal for elegant formulations.
- Range: Peak protection at 314 nm in the UVB range (280-320 nm).
- Allowed: Up to 5% worldwide except US and Canada.
Glycerin ~2-5%Proven
A powerful humectant that draws moisture into the skin. Keeps skin hydrated and comfortable under SPF, preventing the tightness or dryness sometimes caused by mattifying sunscreens.
- Function: Humectant that attracts and retains water in the epidermis.
- Safety: One of the most well-tolerated skincare ingredients. Safe for all skin types.
Tocopherol (Vitamin E) <1%Proven

How to use
HOW TO USEApply Generously
Use approximately 2 finger-lengths (about 1/4 teaspoon) for your face and neck. Apply evenly just before sun exposure.
Blend & Let Set
Gently spread across your face in outward motions. Allow 30 seconds for the dry-touch finish to set. The gel-cream melts into skin leaving no white marks.
Reapply Every 2 Hours
Re-apply frequently and generously, especially after swimming, sweating, or towel-drying. Very water resistant but not waterproof.
Layer Under Makeup (Optional)
Works beautifully as a mattifying primer. Wait 1-2 minutes after application before applying foundation or powder for best results.

Frequently asked questions
FAQCaution is advised. This sunscreen contains chemical UV filters including Homosalate, Octocrylene, and Ethylhexyl Salicylate. While no direct harm has been proven in topical application, Homosalate has shown weak estrogenic activity in laboratory studies. Many dermatologists recommend switching to a mineral-only sunscreen (zinc oxide or titanium dioxide) during pregnancy and breastfeeding as a precaution. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
No, this product is not fungal acne safe. It contains several ingredients that can feed Malassezia yeast, including Stearic Acid, Stearyl Alcohol, PEG-8 Laurate, Isopropyl Lauroyl Sarcosinate, and C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate. If you have fungal acne (pityrosporum folliculitis), look for sunscreens specifically formulated without fatty acids, esters, and polysorbates.
Yes, absolutely. In fact, high SPF sunscreen is essential when using photosensitizing actives like retinol, tretinoin, AHAs (glycolic acid, lactic acid), BHAs (salicylic acid), and vitamin C. Apply your actives first (serum step), let them absorb, then apply this sunscreen as your last skincare step. The SPF 50+ and high UVA protection (PPD 28) make it an ideal companion for active-heavy routines.
This sunscreen is specifically designed for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin types. The AIRLICIUM technology and Perlite micro-particles absorb excess sebum for an all-day matte finish. It also works well for sensitive skin (fragrance-free, dermatologist-tested). For very dry skin, it may feel too mattifying — consider layering it over a hydrating serum or choosing the Anthelios Hydrating Cream version instead.
UV protection and the matte finish are immediate upon application. For long-term benefits like reduced hyperpigmentation, prevention of new dark spots, and anti-aging effects (wrinkle prevention), consistent daily use over 4-12 weeks will show noticeable improvements. Sunscreen is a long-term preventive product — cumulative daily protection is the key to visible results over time.
Sunscreen is always the last step of your skincare routine and the first step before makeup. A typical order would be: Cleanser, Toner, Serum/Treatment, Moisturizer, then this Sunscreen. If you wear makeup, wait 1-2 minutes after sunscreen application, then apply your foundation or powder on top. It works as an excellent mattifying primer.
No, this sunscreen has a comedogenic rating of 1 out of 5 (very low risk). It is officially tested and labeled as non-comedogenic by La Roche-Posay. The oil-free, dry-touch formula with Perlite and Silica helps absorb excess oil rather than contributing to it. Clinical studies on 55 subjects confirmed the product does not cause breakouts. However, individual sensitivities vary, so patch testing is always a good practice.
The Period After Opening (PAO) is 12 months. Once opened, use within one year for maximum UV filter efficacy. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and temperatures above 25°C. Sunscreen filters can degrade over time, so do not use expired product. The 50ml tube typically lasts 1-2 months with daily face application at the recommended amount.
Verdict: La Roche-Posay Anthelios XL Dry Touch Gel Cream SPF 50+ is one of the best mattifying sunscreens available in Europe and beyond. Its advanced XL-Protect filter system with 8 UV filters (including Tinosorb S and Mexoryl XL) delivers exceptional UVA/UVB protection (PPD 28), while the AIRLICIUM technology keeps oily and combination skin shine-free all day. The non-comedogenic, fragrance-free formula is dermatologist-tested on sensitive skin and works beautifully under makeup. Its only drawbacks are a small 50ml tube, lack of fungal acne safety, and chemical UV filters that may concern pregnant users. For oily and combination skin types seeking the gold standard in European sun protection with a true matte finish, this remains a top-tier choice backed by 25+ years of clinical research and recommended by over 60,000 dermatologists worldwide.

Understanding Silicones
If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.
Disclaimer
The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.
These include: Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone.
Note, that this does not include all ingredients part of the Silicone class of ingredients.
EU Allergen-Free
EU Allergen-Free
Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.
For more information regarding the EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, please visit their official website.
Disclaimer
The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.
Also note, the EU Allergen Free label is not personalized for your own allergies you may have and it does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging «promises» it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

Pro Tip Alert!
A product that contains good or bad ingredients for your skin type doesn't always flat out make the entire product good or bad for your skin. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine your skins reaction.
One of the best ways to use this section is to troubleshoot products you've had bad experiences with in the past. Check if it contains any of the marked ingredients to point out suspect ingredients to avoid in the future!

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
