I have acne prone sensitive skin and I always breakout when I try any new sunscreen. To my surprise, the sunscreen didn’t break me out and it actually made my skin look dewy which I didn’t mind. When I first put it on, it does look like I have a little bit of a white cast but once it sets into my skin, it goes away. I would also say to double cleanse when you wash your face because it does feel a little thick on my skin. I will also say that since I’ve started using this product, my hyperpigmentation hasn’t been as noticeable and looking back, switching to this sunscreen has been the only change in my routine. Overall it’s a really good sunscreen and I would definitely buy it again.

This is GREAT!!!! I love love love LRP!!! This is the first sunscreen I try and it’s FANTASTIC! It wears beautifully under makeup or on its own. It does have a *slight* white cast but if you rub it in well and work in small amounts and build up to the recommended dose of one gram then you should be fine! I wear it either way and it’s fine. It doesn’t need to applied over a moisturizer because this is a double duty product! I will absolutely repurchase. The price and size is great!!!!

Absorption: This sunscreen impressively absorbs quickly, which is a great plus for those busy mornings. White Cast: Initially, I did notice a slight white cast upon application. However, within around 5 minutes, it seamlessly melted into my skin, leaving no noticeable residue. Skin Sensitivity: As someone with sensitive skin, I'm always cautious about sunscreen causing irritation. I'm pleased to report that this product did not irritate my skin at all, even on days when it felt particularly reactive. Pilling: Throughout the day, I encountered no issues with pilling, which can be a common annoyance with some sunscreens. This one held up well without clumping or flaking. Finish: The satin finish of this sunscreen gives a subtle, natural look to the skin, making it ... MoreAbsorption: This sunscreen impressively absorbs quickly, which is a great plus for those busy mornings.

Finish: The satin finish of this sunscreen gives a subtle, natural look to the skin, making it suitable for daily wear without feeling overly greasy or shiny. Makeup Compatibility: What impressed me the most was how well makeup layered over this sunscreen. It provided a smooth canvas for makeup application, and I didn't experience any issues with makeup caking or sliding off throughout the day. In conclusion, the La Roche-Posay Anthelios Mineral Sunscreen with SPF 50 is a reliable choice for both face and body. While it may have a brief white cast upon application, it quickly blends in, and its benefits, such as its suitability for sensitive skin and excellent makeup compatibility, make it a solid option for daily sun protection.

At first I wasn't sure if I would like this sunscreen or not. When applied to the skin, it does not absorb into the skin and also causes white streaks on my skin. This sunscreen feels stuffy and heavy when applied to the skin. However, after a period of testing many ways, I realized it's not that bad if you know how to use it. First of all, your skin must be moist enough, then when you apply it, you will see that it absorbs easily on the skin without causing white streaks. Next, there is a tip I give you: wherever you apply it, immediately spread it evenly. Don't put it all over your face and then apply it slowly because it will be very difficult to dissolve. In addition, I discovered that one thing I like about this sunscreen is that it helps improve skin tone, ... MoreAt first I wasn't sure if I would like this sunscreen or not.

In addition, I discovered that one thing I like about this sunscreen is that it helps improve skin tone, helping to make my face brighter. So my advice is not to use this sunscreen on dry skin. You must make your skin moist enough before applying them In short, I like this sunscreen and will continue to pursue it next time.

Pros: • reliable protection from the sun that I don’t have to second-guess • this is a mineral sunscreen, which means you don’t have to wait for it to absorb before protection kicks in • La Roche Posay is a brand that I trust for ingredients that are not only effective, but also good for my skin! Cons: • very thick leaves a white cast on the skin at first — but I think that is to be expected with mineral sunscreens not necessarily a reflection of this product in particular. It does fade after a few minutes though, but I’m not sure how it would work on medium or dark skin tones. • my makeup doesn’t go on as smoothly as I would like after I use this on my face Overall: I love LRP trust them with my skin, so I’m in it for the peace of mind that this product brings - ... MorePros: • reliable protection from the sun that I don’t have to second-guess • this is a mineral sunscreen, which means you don’t have to wait for it to absorb before protection kicks in • La Roche Posay is a brand that I trust for ingredients that are not only effective, but also good for my skin!

I could go either way on recommending this product.

Best everyday sunscreen for those who reapply religiously

Doesn't sting eyes or burn and dry out skin, which happens a lot with chemical sunscreens. Can be reapplied all day long without irritation, which I haven't found in any other formulation.Unless using full coverage all over, best for no-makeup days. Takes a long time to rub in, can cling to dry patches, can be streaky, hard to blend with fingers. Can't apply much at once, why it's better for when you can reapply continuously. Rubbing it in will exfoliate any dead skin and create pilling, so it's important to exfoliate thoroughly before using.Will continue to use as my mainstay, but opting for a chemical one for makeup days.

Disappointed

I used this product for a week before writing this review, but my final thoughts were the same as the first ones I had, if not worse. First of all, I wear the second lightest shade of foundation and this sunscreen had a HORRIBLE white cast that barely went away after hours of wear. It didn't massage in well either. I had to pat it in in segments so it wouldnt pull at my skin because it was so thick and drying. I haven't had problems with dry skin in 6 years but this product made my face and neck flakey! Even after double cleansing, exfoliating, and extra moisturizing, I was flakey and the white cast pilled on my skin. I'm so disappointed because I heard this brand was supposed to be great, and this product is not cheap. The pros would be that it didn't sting my eyes ... MoreI used this product for a week before writing this review, but my final thoughts were the same as the first ones I had, if not worse.

I love this sunscreen and the whitecast

La Roche Posay is well known in the skincare world as a dermatologist tested, allergy tested company. I bought this particular sunscreen because I was looking for a mineral sunscreen for sensitive skin with high Zinc oxide percentage and NO silicone in the ingredients list. I love how the product spread so effortlessly, no gritty, clumps, just smooth like butter on my skin. I like having a white cast and to be honest that blends in and disappears on my skin after a couple hours. Its the only sunscreen that did not break me out. I feel very confident in this product that it protects me against daily UVA/UVB. My skin is getting better overtime since I have been using it for about a month now. I was a daily sun worshipper in my teenage years and now Im trying to ... MoreLa Roche Posay is well known in the skincare world as a dermatologist tested, allergy tested company.

Im already stocking up because Im scared they will change the formula in the future.

Not My Favorite

I have oily acne prone skin and decided to switch over to mineral sunscreen from chemical sunscreen. This one looked promising and I have been using it for two months now. The texture is very thick and white in color with no fragrance. Since it is a mineral sunscreen there will be a white cast no matter what and this one is no exception- the cast is horrendous on my medium skin! It's more noticeable around my hairline and eyebrows. I apply two fingers length of product (one for the face and one for the neck) by evenly dotting the cream onto my skin then patting the cream for better absorption in thin layers. This method works best for me despite being more time consuming but this doesn't "fix" my problem with the white cast or the fact that it rubs off easily.

This method works best for me despite being more time consuming but this doesn't "fix" my problem with the white cast or the fact that it rubs off easily. For example, if I scratch my nose or my chin, the entire layer of white sunscreen comes off. If I apply in circular motions I find uneven application and the white cast looks streaky on the face. On the positive side this cream doesn't sting or irritate the eyes. I wear contact lenses and never once has it interfered with my vision however having hooded lids throughout the day, product would settle into my eyelid fold and I have two white lines on my lids. On days where I wear glasses, this cream rubs off around the nose and sides of my face where my frame sits leaving residue on my glasses itself. I also have horizontal neck lines and this sunscreen settles into them so I constantly have to be blending my neck throughout the day too. I recommend shaking the bottle before use because sometimes it comes out very greasy and liquidy whereas other times it comes out more like a thick solid cream. The UV protection is surprisingly good despite rubbing off easily on my oily skin. Since using this sunscreen daily, I have not notice any darkened acne scars or more sunspots around my forehead and underneath my eyes. This sunscreen hasn't stain the collar of my shirts either. Due to the white cast it somehow makes my skin look more cakey(?) and heavy as if I have paint on. I do not like this sunscreen under makeup (I use concealer and cheek products) and because the cast is so bad when I spot conceal (with a shade that matches my skin) it looks weird because some spots are dark from the concealer while other areas are white from the sunscreen. I didn't experience any pilling. I have tried wearing this sunscreen by itself with just a serum and find it moisturizing enough for my oily skin but it catches onto any dry flakes like old acne scars and the white cast is more opaque. When I use a serum and light moisturizer underneath the sunscreen, it goes on more smoothly, the cast is still there but not as strong, however the whiteness is uneven/streaky. My guess is that certain areas where there's more moisture the sunscreen doesn't stick on too well and rubs off easily. Reapplication is a nightmare! Even though I blot any excess oils and product from the initial application, when I reapply my skin feels heavy and the again, the white cast! I'm still finding a mineral sunscreen that offers full UV protection, is cosmetically elegant, with little to no white cast and unfortunately this one was not that. I won't be repurchasing this sunscreen.

it had me in the first half ngl

at first i wanted to dislike it so bad because of how bad the white cast was. i bought this when it was on sale for $25ish so that was a plus. for the price to product i feel like youre getting a good amount. i have dry/sensitive skin and every chemical sunscreen ive tried burned on my face so ive been sticking with mineral. it is a little thicker consistency so it feels a little heavy but my dry skin loves it because she feels hydrated and glowy. the white cast is HORRENDOUS as first. when i first started using it my face was still so white after i blended it in well. i never noticed though until today that it litterally goes away in like max 5 minutes. that just confirmed i do in fact love this sunscreen :) i did a bunch of yard work this weekend so i was sweaty ... Moreat first i wanted to dislike it so bad because of how bad the white cast was. i bought this when it was on sale for $25ish so that was a plus. for the price to product i feel like youre getting a good amount. i have dry/sensitive skin and every chemical sunscreen ive tried burned on my face so ive been sticking with mineral. it is a little thicker consistency so it feels a little heavy but my dry skin loves it because she feels hydrated and glowy. the white cast is HORRENDOUS as first. when i first started using it my face was still so white after i blended it in well. i never noticed though until today that it litterally goes away in like max 5 minutes. that just confirmed i do in fact love this sunscreen :) i did a bunch of yard work this weekend so i was sweaty and there was no white drip marks. i put sunscreen on my face but i forgot on my body and got burnt everywhere except my face so...if that doesnt sell you then i guess you'll just be missing out. i did get some creases in the eyelids after it sat for a bit but ofc it just wipes away and you should be good. havent had any new breakouts either but acne prone skin should be cautious. for me perosnally its a 10/10.
