La Roche-Posay® Anthelios XL Ultra Light SPF50+ Reviews

Love love loved be this product. The packaging is small and compact that it fits in my makeup bag/ handbag. The small nozzle means that the flow of the liquid product is controlled and not too fast. I sometimes find myself not applying sunscreen as I do not like the sticky feeling after I have applied it. But with this product is like applying a super light moisturiser. A small amount goes a long way, providing full coverage and is quickly and easily absorbed into your skin. I applied it to my face before my foundation instead of my moisturiser. There is no real scent to the product which I like. My skin has become super sensitive since being pregnant so am careful about what products I use however it did not cause any irritation or redness. I also tried this product in my 2 year old who gets a reaction from standard supermarket suncreeen and he did not get any irritation which is another positive. Will definitely be buying this product again. Provided me with great protection from the sun. Was sure to apply regularly for guaranteed protection.

I gave the La Roche-Posay sunscreen a go over the weekend and I got to say I really liked it. It didn’t feel greasy on my skin like most sunscreens. Smelt good and even when getting wet didn’t come straight off. Most of all it protected me from the sun while outside most of the day. Would definitely use again and recommend

The first thing I noticed was the great packaging simple, effective and small enough to throw in your handbag.

Thus had a pleasant scent was nice to have a spf50 that didn't smell like sunscreen. The moisturiser was slightly runny but not so thin it drips everywhere.

I used this on my skin and it left my skin moisturised, protected and looking great. I have already told many people about thus product as its the first of its kind I have liked

Interesting packaging! I’m so used to seeing huge ugly tubes of sunblock that just get thrown in the back of your car etc, this one seems fancy like you could put it in your handbag and not stress about it exploding and going everywhere in there! The sunblock is super light weight very thin didn’t notice much of a frangrance which is good I absolutely loathe sunblock and it’s smell and it’s greasy ness but this one is the best I have used! The price is a bit hefty but for all the great things mentioned above I think it ends up being worth it!

I have a few sun spots so have been using the Sun Sense Daily Face SPF50+ for a while, but after a few days I am an absolute convert to the Posay SPF50+. It goes on super light, isn't at all greasy and when it dries makes my face feel beautiful, soft, primed and makeup ready.

I think the only thing that would make this better would be if it was lightly tinted, but that is just me wanting to save time in the mornings.

I was fairly shocked when I opened this to see how small it is - it's definitely a very small quantity for the price. I'm not a huge fan of the asymmetrical packaging from a purely aesthetic standpoint, but it seems to be good quality and sturdy.

The sunscreen itself is a surprisingly thin liquid, although it doesn't spread quite as far as I was expecting considering the consistency.

The texture is incredible, though. It's a beautiful velvety finish - no oiliness or greasiness to be found. Makeup sat perfectly on top of it, or if I didn't use makeup my skin felt natural and fresh. I'm extremely impressed by how well it sits on skin and how good it feels.

The complete lack of scent is wonderful - I hate using scented products on my face so sunscreen has always been a necessary evil, whereas this was genuinely nice to use.

I can't speak to how well it works as I didn't get much sun exposure during the trial period, but it gets top marks for being the most wearable sunscreen I've ever used.

Thanks BR for putting me on this trial, I'm always up for trying a new sunscreen - living in warm Gizzy, a lot of Summer days are spent at the beach so one with a big SPF is essential!!

I was a little taken aback of the size of this product..though 50ml I wasn't expecting this to be so small. You could say this is perfect for chucking in your handbag, or even your pocket (it's literally the shape of a pocket minus the lid) to have it with you at all times. Super handy!! Much more convenient than lugging around a huge chunky tube. This one is solid hard plastic so there's no chance of squishing product out throughout your belongings, something I've been met with on more than one occassion!

What I like about the packaging is that the product comes out of a little funnel looking thing to help the product flow out controllably. The product is more on the runnier side hence the need for this, I assume.

The sunblock itself is super nice to use. It's not your typical thick sunblock, it feels really light on your skin and rubs in effortlessly. The best thing about the application is that it doesn't leave a greasy feeling at all. I also did some fitness wearing this and it didn't run all over the place. I also used this a number of times before applying my makeup and was extremely surprised how un-oily my face looked, as opposed to many other sunscreens. Huge bonus!! I never experienced any stinging in my eyes which I've experienced with other sunscreens.

I definitely LOVE this sunblock and recommend it if you don't like thick greasy sunscreens and want something light to use on your face.

When this arrived i was i little taken back in the....... im unsure why as i knew only 50ml bottle! How ever whats in this bottle was a very pleasant surprise! Its a very thin, light, almost a water texture. the applicator is a small nozzle to the left side (which i thought was strange at first) was so effective as it comes out quite fast with is its thin texture. its says fragrance free and that is true i really is. it thin constancy means a little goes along way. I really liked this as a facial sun screen so i would only use a little bit each day which makes it a great price point! also great on my little's skin so only using small amounts. the packing looks quite clinical but i like that made be be leave it does what it says! i used this on my face everyday and normally in summer sun screen everyday would leave my skin in bubble eczema and blocked pores! I also get quite a lot of pigmentation form the sun so sun screen is a must, this was so so nice it didn't unset my skin at all it was light and soaked in so fast and carry on with my routine.

i would highly recommend for anyone who has sensitive skin easy to apply a great hand bag size so can take it anywhere!

When I first received this I was shocked at how small the package was, as when I think of sunscreen I always imagine a massive tube that you slather on.

The formula of this sunscreen is a light non-greasy lotion rather than thick cream which most sunscreens are. Which means application was easy and also getting out of the packaging was also easy, due to the consistency of the product it meant that you got an even application with no wastage / excess product.

The sunscreen worked well on a fresh face, no tightness or feeling of clogged pores and also worked great under foundation too! Which is always a great bonus! I love the fact that it doesn't have a strong scent and is super lightweight, so it is great for everyday use.

The price tag does scare me a little bit but a little does go a long way!

Right from the moment you take it out of the box, it feels special. No longer will ugly bottles of sunscreen litter my handbag. The easy to hold and use bottle is what grabs your attention but its the light and easily absorbed fluid that holds it. The silky fluid glides over the skin and it takes only five minutes before the rest of your make up can be applied. It is fragrance-free and it doesn't feel sticky. It felt great to know that even though there is an SPF factor in my foundation, that I had this ultimate layer of protection underneath. I was very impressed with this product and will be recommending it immensely this summer.
