La Roche Posay - Anthelios 50 AOX Serum 16796

This mask works wonders for reducing breakouts and calming irritated skin. After using it, my complexion feels clearer and less oily. The scent is mild and not overpowering, which is great for sensitive skin. The packaging is simple and practical, with an easy-to-use squeeze tube that dispenses the right amount of product. The texture is smooth and creamy, spreading easily over the skin and drying comfortably. Considering the effectiveness and quality, it's a great value for the price. A little goes a long way, making it cost-effective.

Beware!!! Painful, rosacea-like reaction.

I have fairly dry, somewhat sensitive skin, and had been using this for a few months with no issue. I actually really like the produce initially, and re-purchased after finishing my first bottle. Unfortunately, this is where things went downhill. I'm not sure if the formula changed, but boy did it do a number on my skin. Every single day, my face would start to burn a few hours after application, and at one point, my derm was convinced that I had developed full on rosacea. Since I didn't have any irritation with the first bottle (quite the opposite actually) and otherwise hadn't changed my skincare routine, I continued to use this product and struggled with painful irritation for months while trying to figure out the cause.

I started cycling out my skin products, and the day I stopped using this sunscreen, all irritation, redness, and discomfort disappeared immediately, and I have had no issues since. It was actually kind of shocking.No shade to La Roche Posay as I love a lot of their other products, but this one just ain't it. Do yourself a favor and go buy EltaMD for the same price.

Great for my acne prone skin

This is literally the first sunscreen ive ever completed finished. I have EXTREMELY acne prone and sensitive skin, so I've struggled to find sunscreens that wont break me out and vitamin c that doesnt irritate my skin. This formula uses a more gentle and stable form of vit c, and it worked great for me. Im working on fading sun damage, and I have noticed more evenness in my complexion in the month or so of using this. The price is high for the volume, but youre getting a sunscreen and a good vit c at the same time, so its worth it imo. I'll be buying this product again.

Great product. Poor packaging.

I purchased this directly from the manufacturer. It comes in a small pump bottle that is coated to protect the contents from exposure to light. The problem lies in the small plastic pouch that is inside the glass bottle. Suction from the pump creates a vacuum inside the bag and pockets of product are trapped in the corners formed by the plastic collapsing in on itself due to the vacuum pressure. I unscrewed it and had to make an opening in the pouch to try and use the product that was trapped, but still so much was wasted and at $45 a bottle I'd expect more. Don't get me wrong, the product is fantastic. I just don't want to spend that kind of money knowing I'll be wasting some. The coating on the glass bottle also makes it nearly impossible to tell when you are ... MoreI purchased this directly from the manufacturer.

Here I am, living in Florida with extreme UV alerts and I run out of sunscreen and didn't realize it. I just really don't like that little bottle even though it looks nice.

I really like the product and I would recommend to

I love after putting it on in ams, it stings a little. It shows me it's doing it's job. This is my first time ever using and I might stick with the regime given. Looking forward to receiving coupons and discounts for the 4 items I am currently using. I definitely recommend to those who have never used this product. It has a good soft smell after putting on and goes on smoothly. I do not wear makeup so it makes it that much easier for me not to have to bother with all that stuff. Thank you for the products. Please keep me in the loop for other products available at decent prices.

ITS GREST BUT has oxybenzone in it!! very dangerous

It is a wonderful product but unfortunately I did not read the ingredients. One stand out was oxybenzone as it is an allergen and estrogen/hormone disruptor!!!! . It's considered a hazardous eye irritant and, as an allergen, is also known to cause skin allergies. As a hormone disruptor to coral, it also causes hormone disruption in humans, affecting estrogen production

My go to sunscreen despite the price

My go to sunscreen for the past 3 months. I’m darker toned, but the serum blends in nicely and doesn’t pill or leave a cast. It also doesn’t leave my face feeling oily as other products do, however, it does leave you looking shiny. Not necessarily a problem for me, but it may be for others. I haven’t noticed any active breakouts or skin irritation with the usage of this serum. My dislikes is the price for the amount that comes in the bottle. Also noticed eye irritation, especially if you put the serum too close to the eye, which I have accidentally on occasion. I, too, don’t like that it comes in a glass bottle but inside the glass bottle is a plastic bag. It’s not environmentally friendly.

Promising but wasn't for me

I really wanted to love this product as it is a serum with sunscreen in it and I wanted to start incorporating sunscreen into my regimen, but something in this product made me break out :( . The consistency of the product is actually very nice though, goes on smooth, leaving my skin soft, and it didn't leave any white residue like sunscreen normally does. At first, my skin was a little dry from using just the serum so I incorporated my moisturizer too. But like i said above, it made me breakout everytime I used it. I have acne prone skin and dry, somewhat sensitive skin. I tested it to see if it was in fact this serum making me break out by skipping this product and just washing my fash and applying moisturizer and the redness was almost gone instantly, which is ... MoreI really wanted to love this product as it is a serum with sunscreen in it and I wanted to start incorporating sunscreen into my regimen, but something in this product made me break out :( .

But if you don't have my skin issues, you'll actually love this. Oh and btw, beware, I tried posting this review on their website and it was denied. Said it didn't meet their guidelines. I think the only thing it did was talk negatively, which that doesn't fly with me.

The best! Doesn't clog up my sensitive skin!

For starters i just want to say this stuff is the bomb. I have some pretty pesky rochecea that likes to appear when i try to introduce anything new/exciting to her or just because it's tuesday. So it has always made it super hard to add any type of sunscreen into my skin routine as it usally clogs up my pores. But this stuff- No burning, no redness reacation, leaves my skin moisturized and beautifully glowing. Stays hydrated throughout the day without getting greasy. All my sensitive skin babes need to give this a try!

Ultra-sensitive skin tolerates this

As someone with sensitive, rosacea-prone skin, I've found this to be one of the best sunscreens. My skin started to experience stinging after using a highest rated mineral sunscreens for years. So I changed to a highly rated chemical sunscreen only to experience irritation and peeling. Then I went on a quest and ordered other top rated sunscreens, a couple moisturizing mineral sunscreens with limited ingredients and a couple chemical sunscreens. All mineral sunscreens cause my skin to become very dry. This product is lightweight, moisturizing, provides a nice finish and has not caused any untoward reactions.
