Beauty fans say Boots SPF50 that ‘doesn’t smudge makeup’ is ‘worth the hype’
Beauty buffs will be all to aware about the various benefits of incorporating a high SPF into their daily skincare routine.
With protecting your skin from the sun being an everyday ritual now, there are many to choose from on the market. To help you narrow it down, we have spotted one award-winning option from Boots that is “worth the hype”.
It is the La Roche-Posay UVMUNE Anthelios Ultra-Light Fluid SPF 50. Priced at £20 for a 50ml bottle, this “lightweight” SPF is also included in a ‘three for two’ offer that lets shoppers get the cheapest option from the brand free.
Winner of the Boots Beauty Award, it boasts a high sun protection that has been made with Mexoryl 400 – a new exclusive UV filter that protects against ultra long UVA. It’s also suitable for all skin types and is hypoallergenic, meaning it helps protect sensitive skin.
The “non-greasy” formula is said to “sink in quickly”, leaving “no white residue” that can often be the case with sunscreens. Many shoppers are using this as a base layer for their beauty routine, as they say it “doesn’t smudge makeup”.

It’s also ideal for packing into your holiday suitcase, as the La Roche-Posay SPF50 is said to be “ultra-resistant to water, sweat and sand”. It can also be applied around the eye area without causing any stinging or irritation.
With a 4.4 rating based on over 700 reviews, the La Roche-Posay SPF50 remains a staple for many beauty buffs who have praised it as a “game changer” and their “favourite SPF” on the market.
One glowing review read: “Incredible and worth the hype! I decided to finally try this after seeing all the hype about it online. I’m glad I did, absolutely worth the hype. The formula is so lightweight and feels amazing on the skin. Before I tried it, I was worried about its oiliness but I haven’t noticed any extra oiliness throughout the day. I have combination skin. The formula is a very good base for make up, it doesn’t move or smudge my make up at all.”

A second review read: “Really lovely, light formula! It’s perfect for every day use under make up as it doesn’t curdle and doesn’t leave white smudges like some other ones I have used before. Also the size is perfect to incorporate into a make up bag, and a little goes a long way! Highly recommend!”
A third five-star review read: “This is a game changer. I bought it in a whim on holiday a few years back and I’ve been addicted ever since. Great protection and doesn’t make my eyes sting when going in the pool. Absolutely no white cast and no irritation. I don’t have sensitive skin but sun cream usually makes my eyes sting and this has never. I love it. Buy it, you won’t regret it.”

Another shopper praised: “This has quickly become my favourite SPF to use on my face as it is lightweight, quick to sink in and works wonders. I use different SPF on my body purely cause this one is great on the face – and even underneath makeup. I find other SPFs used under makeup can make the makeup slide around my face but that’s not the case with this one. Love it!”
Some shoppers have had an issue with the texture, as one three-star review read: “This was much more liquid than I had expected and difficult to use. I had previously used another La Roche-Posay sun screen and this one was a disappointment.”
