Skincare brand La Roche-Posay recently launched its latest innovation, the Anthelios UVMune 400 Anti-Dark-Spots Fluid SPF 50+, in Malaysia with a special celebrity appearance by Jay B (제이비), leader of GOT7. Formulated to meet the challenges of Malaysia’s extreme UV levels, this next-generation sunscreen offers ultra-long UVA protection and visible dark-spot correction in a single, ultra-light formula.
During the launch at Mid Valley Megamall, the K-pop idol also shared his personal skincare journey, underscoring the importance of reliable sun protection during both his performances and outdoor personal activities, so he can effectively shield himself from the sun. We also got to interview the idol himself to hear what he said about the new product, his skincare routine and his upcoming projects.
1. What is your daily skincare routine, and how do you incorporate the new Anthelios UVMune 400 into your day?
Firstly, I start every morning with a mild cleanser and moisturising products. Lastly, I applied La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVMune 400 sunscreen before going out.
2. What skincare or beauty products do you always bring with you when you travel?
Since I’m mostly involved in outdoor activities. I always need to bring sunscreen with me. I genuinely carry sunscreen everywhere. Besides that, I have experienced sunburn before, and I felt like the skin tone didn’t suit me. I also realised that under stage lights and when I’m out at beaches or doing water sports, sun protection isn’t just about avoiding burns. 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. That’s why sunscreen has become essential for me to always bring it.
3. What is your personal beauty philosophy, and how has it evolved over time?
When I was young, my skin was naturally smooth, so I didn’t have a specific beauty philosophy or routine. Now, looking back, I think if I were still at that age, even 1 year younger, I would have put more effort into skin care.
4. Your last visit to Malaysia was in April for your solo concert. Now that you’re back, is there anything you’d like to try that you didn’t get to do the last time?
Actually, I got some travel recommendations from my friends, and I really want to go travelling. I recently went to Bali. I heard that some places in Malaysia offer scuba diving. I would love to go and try it. If I get the chance, I’ll definitely bring La Roche Posay Anthelios UVMune 400 sunscreen with me.
5. What’s a typical day like for you when you’re not working?
When I am not working, I look for various activities. But usually, I spent time practising, whether it’s vocal training, instrument practice as well or language learning sessions.
6. What is next for your solo career? Are you currently working on new music?
I am always working on new music. However, when it will be released depends on the right timing. I hope it will be released as soon as possible, so I can share the new album and meet my fans as well.
