Not worth it

Absolutely not suitable for sensitive skin. It didn't work neither for me (normal skin succeptibpe to eczema) not for my wife (oily acne prone skin). It burnt my cheeks a lot and my wife got acne after using it. The tinted version is even worse as it's a horrible shade of pink that makes you look sunburnt.

Best sunscreen

Love this sunscreen so much. I have gone through 3-4 bottles of this! It’s a bit pricey, but I will always repurchase. Glides onto the skin and never pills when wearing makeup on top. No fragrance which is always a plus.

Tips: Always shake the bottle!

Fantastic sunscreen

I purchased this last year when I saw it on sale. I really love La Roche Posay products. It comes in a 50ml bottle with a cap. Easy and convenient to use!

I actually hate sunscreen and the feeling of it on my skin. I have sensitive skin too so I get a horrible rash with most sunscreens I try. Thankfully this was not the case with this!

It applies nicely on the skin and absorbs so well! It is definitely more on the runnier side and quite lightweight. No greasy, sticky feeling at all. It also doesn't smell bad like other sunscreens do! I never got burnt wearing this....I am very pale so I always apply it often.

A great sunscreen for the whole family. I recommend keeping an eye out for a sale. While I do like it I won't be purchasing this year as I like the Skinnies sunscreen a lot better for my daughter and I.

Best sunscreen ever!

Was given a sample of this sunscreen when doing a mole map, and have since bought a full size. Its that amazing!!!! Love how its not sticky and greasy on my skin and I can wear it on my sensitive face too. It is runny though, and not thick so its easier to blend.

Tips: Shake it well!

SUMMER SAVIOUR

This sunscreen is absolutely amazing; I don't like wearing products with sunscreen on my face as they usually clog my pores and make me feel oily; however, this product is so lightweight, does what it promises, and a little goes a long way!

It's a yes from me!!

I tried this a few months ago because my beauty therapist suggested it. I have never had much luck with sunscreen and makeup worn together but this one ticks most of the boxes. It's a very light lotion so a little goes a long way and it smells really nice. It's got a good container that you must shake below use. The best part for me was it doesn't make my makeup pill underneath it and lastly it doesn't find its way into my eyes at all during the day. I am sensitive around the eye area and always find sunscreens bad for this. I will be buying my of this to wear all summer long and look into their other sunscreen products aswell.

Does a good job

Great under your foundation, definitely good SPF, my only ‘complaint’ would be that the lotion is a little runny, but then you dont need it as a moisturiser, so works well.

Tips: Make sure you shake the bottle before use

Ready for the day!

This SPF is lightweight and absorbs quickly so you can get on with your morning makeup routine. You won't notice the extra layer, it spreads beautifully and with SPF50+ you know it will reward you in 20 years time.

Tips: I like to add a dash of illuminator on days I'm not wearing makeup over the top for a glow. On hot summer mornings I put it on then brush my teeth while I wait for it to absorb, before my makeup routine begins.

Great face sunscreen

I loved how this sunscreen didn’t break me out, which alot of sunscreens leave me with those little bumps on my cheek bones But this, thankfully didn’t. For this size it’s pretty pricey, but I’m still happy to purchase it, as it’s a regular in my skin routine It’s scent isn’t too over powering, which I really appreciated. I LOVE La Roche-Posay sensitive products. And this, also, worked great for my sensitive skin.

Tips: Always give it a good shake before use

Great for everyday use!

I've repurchased this four times so can testify this is a great sunscreen! It's great for oily skin and I'm sure it would work well for normal or dry skin too.

I've tried lots of different sunscreens and always find them either too greasy (like body sunscreens) which causes breakouts and looks bad or they give too much of a white cast (like zinc), but I don't have those issues with this one. The formula is really lightweight (it's quite liquid-y) so it sits well under makeup and doesn't cause any pilling.

The only negative thing about the formula is that if I apply it too soon after a vitamin C serum I feel light stinging/tingling so it's possible it might react with products with high concentrations (my vit c is about 20%).

The only other negative is that it's tiny (like most facial sunscreens) so every time I repurchase it I hesitate because of the price and quantity. It would be amazing if it was sold in larger quantities. Overall it's a great formula though and I will most likely keep repurchasing it!

Tips: If you apply any serums wait 10 minutes before applying this sunscreen to avoid reactions.
