KUALA LUMPUR, 8th July 2025 – Malaysia typically experiences extremely high UV indices for about six months each year. Malaysians are exposed to two main types of ultraviolet rays: UVB, the shorter-wave rays that affect the skin’s surface, and UVA, the longer-wave rays that penetrate more deeply and account for around 95 % of all UV reaching our skin.
On the international UV-Index scale, readings above 11 are classed as “Extreme”, yet Malaysiaroutinely registers off-the-chart values of 14–15. This has led healthcare professionals to warn the public to minimise UV exposure. Even indoors or under protective clothing, long-wave UVA (380–400 nm) can slip through cloud cover, window glass and many fabrics, accelerating ageing and dark spots.
These insights drove La Roche-Posay to develop the new Anthelios UVMune 400 Anti-Dark Spots Fluid SPF 50+, which offers both robust ultra- long UVA protection and gradual correction of hyperpigmentation in a single, ultra-light formula.
For the first time, Anthelios UVMune 400 Anti-Dark-Spots Fluid SPF 50+ contains two (2) patented breakthroughs.
MEXORYL 400: La Roche-Posay’s most advanced UV filter, designed to form a photostable shield against the deepest long-wave UVA rays—the very wavelengths responsible for up to 60 % of photo-ageing. MEXORYL 400 is the culmination of 10 years of research and 25 patents.
MelasylTM: – A L’Oréal-patented active discovered after 18 years of screening over 100,000 molecules, Melasyl™ intercepts melanin precursors before it marks the skin and to correct existing hyperpigmentation.
“Prolonged UVA exposure does far more than redden the skin,” said Dato’ Dr Noor Zalmy Azizan, Malaysia leading dermatologist. “These longer-wave rays penetrate deep into the dermis, where they can trigger pigmentary disorders such as solar lentigines, postinflammatory hyperpigmentation and melasma. On a cellular level, UVA generates free radicals that induce oxidative stress, damage DNA, alter gene expression, and may lead to premature aging or skin cancers.”
“With these risks in mind, a high-performance sunscreen is no longer optional—it’s essential. Consumers must look beyond SPF numbers and choose formulations that offer proven ultra long-UVA defence, ensuring protection against both immediate damage and the subtle, cumulative harm that accelerates photo-ageing and uneven pigmentation.” Added Dr. Zalmy.
Our close partnerships with dermatologists drive breakthrough innovations that genuinely improve people’s lives,” said Anissa Mokrani, General Manager, L’Oréal Dermatological Beauty (Malaysia & Singapore). “Anthelios UVMune 400 Anti-Dark-Spots Fluid SPF 50+ delivers broad-spectrum UV protection and dark-spot correction in a single, ultra-light step. For optimum results, pairing it with La Roche-Posay Mela B3 Serum in the evening creates a complete routine that shields against harmful UVA by day and visibly fades spots by night. With the daily dangers of long-wave UVA, this combination significantly reduces photo-ageing and sets a new benchmark for convenient, everyday defence.”
The launch of the Anthelios UVMune 400 Anti-Dark-Spots Fluid SPF 50+ was also a starstudded affair that had fans buzzing. Jay B—leader of GOT7—stepped onto stage, and as he took the time to share his some of his experiences dealing with extreme conditions on and off stage.
“Under stage lights and when I’m out at beaches or doing water sports, I realised sun protection isn’t just about avoiding burns,” Jay B said. “Long-wave UVA can bounce off surfaces or slip through windows, and I began to notice small dark spots after a while. Now I never step outside without sunscreen—it’s the first thing I put on.”
The high performance of Anthelios UVMune 400 Anti-Dark-Spots Fluid SPF 50+ is founded on breakthrough innovation and is suitable for every skin tone. Ideal for daily wear, it layers effortlessly under make-up. The synergy of MEXORYL 400 and Melasyl™ delivers best-in-class UVA defence while steadily evening out areas of dark spots.
To enhance hyperpigmentation correction, pair Anthelios UVMune 400 Anti-Dark-Spots Fluid SPF 50+ with La Roche-Posay Mela B3 Serum, which combines Melasyl™ with 10 % niacinamide (vitamin B₃) and other targeted actives to tackle the root causes of uneven skin tone.
Anthelios UVMune 400 Anti-Dark-Spots Fluid SPF 50+ is ultra-light and invisible and leaves no white cast, non-oily, non-greasy and non-comedogenic—yet highly resistant to water, sweat and sand. Its anti-eye-migration technology prevents stinging, so you can enjoy full protection without compromise.
The Anthelios UVMune 400 Anti-Dark Spots Fluid SPF 50+ is available at all leading pharmacies and e-commerce platforms. Find out more at www.laroche-posay.com.my/en-my.
