This facial sunscreen carries a pretty hefty price tag for only 50ml (about $32 I think) however it is TOTALLY WORTH EVERY CENT! It applies beautifully to the face and you only need a small amount.
The product comes in small white bottle with a screw top lid. I found the lid a little annoying because it requires two hands to put back on (whilst also juggling the sunscreen you've poured into your hand). I think a flip top would have been better.
The cream itself is quite a thin cream. You only need a really small amount to cover your face and neck. It glides on to the skin really well (I prefer to apply moisturiser before sunscreen so this probably helps). The cream is not at all greasy or sticky like most sunscreens. It absorbs into the skin almost immediately and you wouldn't even know it was on there.
I found it worked really well both under make up (although I did find that applying a moisturiser on top of the sunscreen made make up application easier) and on its own.
This is easily the best facial sunscreen I have tried. It's actually hard to believe it's sunscreen since it doesn't have that horrible sunscreen smell or greasiness. It's pricey, but a little goes a long way and I will definitely be buying this again.
I had stopped using sunscreen most days because I hated the greasy heavy, feeling the shiny look and the disgusting smell. La Roche Posay Anthelios XL Ultra Light has changed all that! Since this little ray of sunshine has landed in my lap, I have worn it every day! It is scent free and so light! Lighter than my daily moisturizer. No more white streaks you just can't rub in with this sunscreen. Honestly, when I first tried it I was extremely skeptical, I thought it wasn't going to work because it was so nice. We have had some amazing weather and I have spent some of it doing gardening all day with my 10yr old daughter and neither of us turned into a red lobster. I am fair skinned so to find a sunscreen this nice that actually works is kind of life-changing. The extra bonus was, it never caused me to break out, not even one spot! The handy sized bottle makes it easy to just throw in my bag and the little nozzle prevents too much from coming out at once. The only downside would be the price but I will happily pay it because this is a genuine quality product that is and does everything it claims.
Tips: Use instead of your daily moisturizer just remember to reapply as needed.
