French skin care line Vichy is perhaps best known for its hydrating Mineral 89 serums. However, your skin will thank you for not overlooking their sunscreens.

The Vichy sun protection line, Soleil Capital, features fragrance-free formulas that offer broad-spectrum protection, which means they protect your skin from burning UVB rays as well as UVA rays, which cause premature aging. Whether you desire a sheer finish and anti-aging benefits or a tinted all-mineral formula, Vichy has you covered. Follow along to learn more about:

The best Vichy sunscreen lotion with anti-aging correction

If you’re looking for a daily face sunscreen that combines high-quality protection with anti-aging benefits, consider Vichy Capital Soleil UV Age Daily SPF 60. This ultra-lightweight facial sunscreen has a quick-absorbing serum-like texture that wears well under makeup. A blend of four chemical sunscreen filters (3% avobenzone, 7% homosalate, 5% octisalate, 7% octocrylene) provides broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection that’s entirely invisible on all skin tones.

In addition to protecting your skin from the damage of daily sun exposure, it also contains key active ingredients to help correct early aging signs. This includes hyaluronic acid to boost hydration levels and instantly plump fine lines, vitamin C to help diminish dark spots and peptides to improve firmness. In a 28-day self-assessment study, 85% of participants said their skin looked radiant, 78% said their fine lines were reduced and 75% said their skin felt plumper.

The best mineral Vichy tinted sunscreen

If you’re pregnant, nursing or have sensitivities to chemical sunscreen ingredients, an all-mineral face sunscreen such as Vichy Capital Soleil Mineral Tinted Sunscreen Ultra Lightweight Lotion SPF 60 could be a better fit for your needs. This 100% mineral sunscreen provides broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection with 14.8% titanium dioxide. It has a lightweight texture with a sheer tint to help reduce white cast and provide a touch of warmth and radiance. It dries to a natural finish and provides eighty minutes of water resistance.

The best vitamin C serum to pair with Vichy sun protection

After you’ve met your match when it comes to daily sunscreen, consider bolstering your sun-protection efforts with a high-potency vitamin C serum. “Vitamin C helps stimulate the production of collagen in your skin, which can help skin feel firmer and fine lines and wrinkles look less prominent,” says LovelySkin CEO Dr. Joel Schlessinger, board-certified dermatologist, Mohs surgeon and cosmetic surgeon. Vichy LiftActiv Vitamin C Brightening Serum contains Vichy’s highest concentration of vitamin C (16%) to help strengthen your skin’s defense against environmental stressors, like sun exposure and pollution. Because vitamin C is notoriously unstable and can degrade when it comes into contact with air and light, this serum features a new tip applicator to limit exposure to oxygen. In a clinical study, subjects’ skin looked brighter and visibly smoother after fourteen days of use.
