La Roche-Posay Tinted Mineral Sunscreen SPF 40 for Face — Deep shade, matte finish & broad‑spectrum protection

La Roche-Posay Anthelios Tinted Mineral Sunscreen SPF 40 in Deep is a lightweight, 100% mineral facial sunscreen with iron oxides that provides broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection while delivering a natural, matte-tinted finish.

Designed for daily wear, this tinted mineral formula blends skincare and sheer coverage: zinc oxide and titanium dioxide act as physical filters while iron oxides minimize the typical white cast and add a warm tint. Its Cell-Ox Shield Technology® brings antioxidant support alongside sun protection, and the texture is non-greasy, fast-absorbing and matte, making it a convenient base under makeup or a simple one-step face product on no-makeup days.

How does this tinted mineral sunscreen perform under makeup?

Anthelios Tinted Mineral creates a smooth, matte canvas that layers well with foundation or concealer. Its lightweight, blendable texture prevents pilling and helps makeup adhere without extra shine.

• Matte, non-greasy finish ideal as a primer
• Sheer tint evens tone without masking natural skin
• Fast-absorbing formula reduces layering issues
• Compatible with most liquid and powder cosmetics

Will it leave a white cast on deeper skin tones?

This formula uses iron oxides to counter the common white cast seen with mineral filters, so the Deep shade is formulated to better match medium-deep complexions. While mineral sunscreens can vary on different skin types, Anthelios Tinted Mineral is designed to leave a subtle, natural-looking tint rather than a chalky residue.

• Deep shade contains iron oxides for reduced white cast
• Blends sheerly to enhance natural undertones
• Suitable for a range of medium to deeper skin tones
• Test a small amount to confirm your best shade match

How should I apply and reapply for best protection?

Apply liberally to the face 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapply every two hours, or immediately after swimming, sweating, or towel-drying. Using the recommended amount ensures the labeled SPF level; many users underapply, which reduces protection.

• Use a nickel-to-quarter-size amount for full face coverage
• Apply 15 minutes before sun exposure
• Reapply every 2 hours or after swimming/sweating
• Layer under makeup or use alone for a lightweight finish

Is this formula suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

Anthelios Tinted Mineral is formulated without fragrance, oxybenzone, avobenzone, paraben, or octinoxate and is non-comedogenic, making it appropriate for many sensitive or acne-prone skin types. The mineral filters are generally well tolerated by reactive skin, and the water-resistant formula supports wear during light activity.

• Fragrance-free, oil-free, and non-comedogenic
• Dermatologist-tested and designed for sensitive skin
• 100% mineral filters: zinc oxide and titanium dioxide
• Water-resistant up to 40 minutes for active use

Who is this for? This tinted mineral sunscreen is made for anyone seeking daily broad-spectrum mineral protection with a subtle tint and matte finish—especially people with sensitive or combination skin who want easy makeup layering or a natural, evened-out complexion. Choose the Deep shade if you need a warmer, deeper tint to avoid white cast while keeping a lightweight feel.
