La Roche-Posay Anthelios XL Anti-Shine Dry Touch Facial Sunscreen SPF50+

I have had a lot of bad experiences with sunscreen in the past, so I was a bit skeptical of La Roche-Posay Anthelios XL Anti-Shine Dry Touch Facial Sunscreen SPF50+, but I have been pleseantly surprised!

I love the 50ml size, perfect for your handbag - so I have no excuse not to always have sunscreen on hand. Even if I didn't have time to apply before I walked out the door in the morning, because it fits in my bag I can simply apply when I arrive at my destination. I found this really helpful motivation to wear sunscreen daily - which we all know we should do but sometimes ends up in the too hard basket.

I both loved and hated the packaging design. On one hand the cap and pump combo ensures there is no spillage in your bag. Big win! But on the other hand, I kept trying to squeeze the tube from the bottom before remembering it has a pump at the top that you have to press down on. Probably something I'd get used to over time but it was a bit annoying.

The product goes on white, but dries/absorbs quickly (almost too quickly!) so it feels like I need to apply quite a lot to make sure I've got good coverage. The product then mattifies leaving a soft finish and looks really good.

One of my biggest issues with sunscreen is that it eventually rubs off into my eyes and stings requiring washing off and starting again - but not this stuff! I even used the product while on holiday in Australia, and it didn't melt off or move in 35 degree heat! It lasted all day and I didnt get burnt once!

It also didn't make my skin red and angry like most other sunscreens do with regularly use. So it's passes my oily and sensitive skin test!

I highly recommend using La Roche-Posay Anthelios XL Anti-Shine Dry Touch Facial Sunscreen SPF50+ . It's some of the best sunscreen I've ever used and I will definitely be buying more!

I'm always looking for the perfect day-to-day facial sunscreen that a) has high SPF, b) doesn't make my skin feel greasy or break me out, and c) sits well under makeup. The La Roche-Posay Anthelios Dry Touch Sunscreen SPF50+ has all these qualities and then some! It feels remarkably lightweight on the skin, absorbs quickly, and mattifies my skin really well without feeling like I am wearing anything. It seems to help my skin stay matte during the day as well and I find that I don't need to touch up my makeup as often. I haven't had any breakouts, sensitivity or eczea flare-ups since using it so I think I will be repurchasing this product for a long time.

The only con for me is that I wish it was a sqeeze bottle rather than a pump; I prefer being able to control the amount of product I dispense, and sometimes the tube gets an air bubble and it's hard to pump product out. This isn't enough of a negative for me to mark it down though.

Yip this will be my new holy grail for summer. Love this as I have combination/oily skin. So many positives for this, no smell, sinks right into my skin, my face doesn't look greasy and oily like some products do, easy to apply and once it is on it really doesn't feel like you have anything on.

Yip, super impressed!!!

Due to the recent long weekend I've only had a few days to trial this sunscreen but so far I'm hooked.

I've always struggled with face sunscreen, even stupidly expensive ones seem to make my face shiny cause me to breakout and have my daily makeup sliding down my face.

Not so this one!

The pump on the tube dispenses a good amount of product, which doesn't have that yucky sunscreen smell at all. The texture is great, not sticky, absorbs quickly and while it goes on white doesn't leave a white cast under makeup.

My primer and foundation sits nicely on top of the sunscreen , no piling or greasy spots.

Will definitely keep using this one, have already recommended to friends!

I received this sunscreen from the vault. I have sun damaged skin on my face, brown patches, and can be sensitive so need a good facial sunscreen. It comes in a 50ml tube with a pump top, handy for the handbag. I used a couple of pumps for my face and neck and one pump for tops of my hands. It is a white creamy formula that sinks into skin well. A very faint sunscreen scent. I apply as a base under my moisturiser and tinted serum. This is not very gel like more of a cream. Not sticky and dried almost immediately, non oily. I avoid my eye are as they are a bit sensitive. I am using a different sunscreen for the rest of my body and will keep using the La Roche-Posay for my face, the 50ml tube will last a reasonable amount of time. 50+ spf and with thermal spring water, made in France. Highly recommend for sun protection for your face.

This sunscreen is amazing it doesn’t go greasy through out the day and doesn’t give a white cast if you apply it underneath foundation as well as providing very good sun protection

this sunscreen is such a good suncreen for all year round. it doesnt leave the skin looking greasy nor does it leave a white cast. in my opinion these 2 things are very important factors in sunscreen. it doesn't clog my pours and sits very nice under make up. i re apply this every 2 hours and yet it still seems to last a good amount of time.
