La Roche-Posay Anthelios Anti-Shine SPF50+ Sun Cream 50ml

I got this product as I wanted to reduce my use of aerosol cans and it was running out quickly. The spray version of this is so good I thought this had to be the same. Unfortunately it made my skin oiler and gave me some problem blemishes :( it’s good value for money though, you don’t need much so I can see it lasting a long time. As someone with oily and blemish prone skin, I won’t be buying this again

Lovely light face sun cream. I have really oily skin so this work a treat.

Great gel / cream texture that instantly dries on the skin. Amazing for my combination skin! Will definitely repurchase!

I have super sensitive and dry skin and eyes and this cream works so well. Doesn't irritate my eyes or skin and once absorbed in, doesn't feel heavy!

I can’t believe what a fast absorbing, non oily and amazing this spf is.i have very oily skin and this spf sits amazing under bb cream or foundation, was able to even use it under eye (although i have very sensitive eyes).

I have oily skin and hate how thick or oily face sun lotions look on my skin. This product stayed matte and blurred my pores whilst protecting my skin being spf50 Great product

Mixed feelings about this one, it has a THICK CONSISTENCY which does leave a WHITE CAST upon application and takes a good while to BLEND into skin. Once set it actually feels quite LIGHTWEIGHT, leaving a SOFT MATTE velvety finish. At first it does make me look a little GREY and takes a good while to set and blend but does look nice on the skin after. I do really like the finish because it WORKS WELL for my oily skin and doesn’t leave me looking SHINY but I feel it just takes too long to blend in and being a busy mum of 2 I don’t have time to wait around in the mornings. It PILLS so you can’t use a moisturiser with it otherwise you’ll see it balling up and rolling off your face, also have to wait a while before applying makeup or set with powder first. ⁣I think it would be GREAT for fairer skin tones who have normal to oily skin.

Pros, mattifying, lightweight non greasy, Leaves skin feeling velvety soft Blends in well and looks nice on the skin Cons Thick consistency Pills so you can’t layer, I don’t use a moisturiser after serum, just this product White cast at first which you really need to work into skin But I’m loving the finish hence why I don’t mind working it in because it’s not shiny

Really pleased I found this sunscreen. I have very pale combination skin and find most facial sunscreens melt into my eyes after a while and sting. Wore this for a weeks holiday where we were out and about and active in the sun all day and didn’t have any issues. The formula feels quite sticky to apply but once it’s on you can’t feel it at all. Will definitely be purchasing again.

Finally caved in and bought this very hyped product. It is a very dry, thick consistency, which means it doesn't spread and can be quite difficult to rub into your face. I can see how this will cause "white cast" problems for some people, because you kind of have to pat it into the skin, and it is very thick. You will need at least 3-4 pumps to cover your face, so I imagine this small tube won't last long. However, it really does set very quickly completely matte. I have worn this all day and it has helped kept shine under control. I have combination skin. This may be a little drying for normal skin, or drier combination skin. It wears well under makeup. My skin is sensitive, and I have not had any issues with irritation, burning, nor has it stung my eyes, like other suncreams. The thick consistency means you really can't apply this too thinly to get good sun protection, and it stays in place throughout the day, so I think this works particularly well if you are prone to burning or want full SPF50 protection in the Summer, but in the Winter, this is probably overkill for most people given the levels of UV in the UK. I'll probably buy again, but given the price and difficulty of application, I'll probably use something like Etude House on a daily basis, and keep this for intensive, full sun days.
