My request to ChatGPT: “Write a 3 paragraph story on how well the La Roche Posay Anthelios UV Correct SPF70 sunscreen lotion will protect your face if you were on a cruise ship”
*Start ChatGPT Text*
Once upon a time, there was a woman named Sarah who decided to go on a cruise with her friends. She was very excited for the trip, but she was also concerned about the harmful effects of the sun on her skin. She had heard about the La Roche Posay Anthelios UV Correct SPF70 sunscreen lotion and decided to give it a try.
Sarah applied the sunscreen lotion every day before going out to enjoy the various activities the cruise ship had to offer. She went snorkeling, sunbathed on the deck, and even participated in water sports. Despite spending long hours in the sun, Sarah’s face remained protected and she did not experience any sunburns or skin damage. The lotion had a lightweight texture that absorbed quickly into her skin and left no residue behind.
At the end of the trip, Sarah was thrilled with the results. Not only was she able to enjoy her time on the cruise without worrying about sun damage, but her skin also looked and felt smoother and healthier. She was so impressed with the La Roche Posay Anthelios UV Correct SPF70 sunscreen lotion that she recommended it to all of her friends and family. From that day forward, she made sure to always carry a bottle of the lotion with her whenever she went on a sunny vacation.

Prepared slide ready for testing
The La Roche Posay UV Correct SPF70 has unbelievable UV blocking ability despite having a weird blotchy and unevenly distributed appearance.
Since its a chemical based sunscreen, appearance makes little difference to how it performs.
Below are the results from 2 hours of testing in my UV testing station.

Testing notes:
I appreciate this sunscreen because not only does it have extremely high ultraviolet blocking ability, it has ingredients which care for the skin. Do these non UV ingredients actually help anti-aging and skin discoloration? Since I can only test the sunscreen effectiveness I am unsure, but I don’t see why not. Just the sun protection alone will help with skin discoloration in the event there is damage to your skin by reducing UV exposure (any sunscreen can do this).
Recommended.
