La Roche-Posay Anthelios — SPF & Sun Protection Ireland
Anthelios is the most clinically advanced facial SPF available in Irish pharmacies. The current generation is built around the UVMune 400 filter — blocking a broader range of UVA radiation than older formulas, including the long UVA wavelengths most associated with photoageing and pigmentation. UV radiation causes approximately 80% of visible facial ageing. If your current SPF is more than three years old, UVMune 400 is a meaningful upgrade.
“SPF is the single most evidence-backed anti-ageing intervention available without prescription. I apply Anthelios UVMune 400 every morning and recommend it to every patient. UV damage accumulates year-round and is irreversible.”
