I love using the La Roche-Posay® Anthelios XL Dry Touch SPF 50+ as a daily sunscreen. I like that it is unscented and applies smoothly. It has a lovely matte finish which is perfect for oily or combination skin and lasts well throughout the day. I like that this brand passed the Consumer NZ sunscreen efficacy test - this gives me reassurance that I am effectively protecting my skin from photo-damage. I will continue to repurchase this product and will try other sunscreens from LRP.

My favourite sunscreen
Tips: Apply a few pumps of this sunscreen and apply to the face and neck a few minutes before makeup to prevent pilling.

Top 5 Sunscreens EVER
I wear sunscreen every day, and apply at least once if not twice a day. I have combination skin which can be irritated around the eyes and nose.
Because I use so much sunscreen I want it to sink in to the skin and not feel like a greasy layer. This truly melts in and absorbs quickly. Reapplication is a dream, and I never feel hesitant to reapply when I know the formula is so lightweight.
No white cast, however my fair skin tone isn’t representative of how this might look on others.
Great little pump dispenser, but I’d like a bigger bottle considering how much is recommended for daily use. I finished this in about 3 weeks!

Hands down best face sunscreen
This facial sunscreen is such a winner. It is super gentle and doesn't sting my eyes like a lot of others. I can be prone to breakouts when trying new skincare products but this time my skin stayed clear. It doesn't leave the skin feeling greasy or looking shiny and there is minimal white tone once rubbed in thoroughly. I find I only have to reapply once per day and on the occasions where I forget, I still don't get burnt. I really do feel like this product has slowed down the aging process and I recommend it to everyone.

AMAZING
I love this sunscreen it is so light on the face and you dont need much to cover the whole area which means the bottle lasts a long time! I do have to say the one downfall is because I'm tanned skin it can leave a white cast. I've learnt to combat this by using it when I wear make up. I use this when I go out during the day with make up on as it is not greasy and is quite matte meaning my make up goes on well.
Tips: Use La Roche-Posay® Anthelios XL Ultra Light SPF50+ when you are not wearing any make up as it gives you a nice glow as it is a liquid sunscreen and it does not leave a white cast!

No white cast sunscreen? Look no further
I was on the hunt for a good chemical sunscreen for my skin and found this gem at Life Pharmacy for $31.99! I must admit I was skeptical at first as it was tinted but when I tried it on it was a perfect match for my skin. The pigment is so very light that it would easily blend with any shade from fair - medium skin tones.
It feels weightless upon application and leaves no residue or white cast. In my opinion it is the best sunscreen in the New Zealand market
Tips: Apply a generous amount directly to your skin after skin care regimen or after foundation if you wear makeup

Best Facial Sunscreen
Having used all types and various brands of sunscreen for the face, this one excels. Love it. Great to finally have a lightweight facial sunscreen I can confidently wear under makeup that doesn’t turn to a greasy mess 30 minutes after application. Stays matte all day
Tips: After moisturiser, apply to face & neck. Give it a few minutes, then apply makeup primer and usual makeup.

Best sunscreen for oily skin
The best sunscreen for oily skin! Light weight, no white cast and anti-shine. I often wear this by itself with no make up, and the tint corrects minor skin issues like uneven skin tone. Reapplication is easy too as it’s so lightweight and a good size to carry around. Have purchased this over and over again already

All-time favourite! ☀️
La Roche-Posay Anthelios Dry Touch SPF 50+ is my sun-wizard-in-a-bottle! This stuff feels like a luxurious secret agent cloak for your skin—light, smooth, and totally matte. It's like saying "see ya!" to oily sunscreen days and hello to protected, selfie-ready skin vibes.
Tips: But it now!!!! ☺️

Excellent sunscreen
I love this sunscreen, it does leave you a bit white but I don’t mind it, it was also very runny so you have to be careful not to take to much out.

This brand has become my go-to for skincare and sun screen. My skin is sensitive and sometimes reactive. These products are gentle and effective.
My skin just loves this formula. It protects against harmful sun and feels so nice on my skin. Such good quality, like other products from this brand.
This one impressed me. 5 stars
