La Roche-Posay ANTHELIOS FLUIDE EXTREME

My cousin lives in Italy and she mentioned this sun screen to me. When I asked her more about it, she sent me a tube and told me to try it myself. I am so glad I did. This is my go to holy grail sunscreen. I use it all over, it doesn't irritate my skin, it doesn't make me break out, and I don't burn as long as I reapply it as necessary. I order it fom a pharmacia in Spain, it is cheaper, but ...read moreI would pay anything for this product. it is the absolute best sun screen I have ever used as well as the most effective.

Anthelios SPF 60+, Best Investment Ever!

Renewed faith in this product. The first time I ever used this was this past summer and around that time, I was trying out a new moisturizer -- biggest mistake ever! After many months and weeks of swapping things in and out of my skin care routine just to see what's messing my skin up, I've worked out the moisturizer was breaking me out! I thought it was this sunscreen that was breaking me out, bu...read moret it was the moisturizer. I was trying out the Aveeno Positively Radiant moisturizer. It's terrible. I had rounds of break outs, mostly cystic pimples! Once they start to subside and calm down, another round would come. It was a never ending cycle. I am still dealing with the marks from all this breaking out. Anyways, I used this SPF recently when I went on a trip and it didn't break me out at all. It comes in a small plastic bottle container with a screw top. You have to shake it really well to mix the content up before applying to your face. It absorbs super fast into the skin and it was rather light. It does feel a tad bit greasy initially when I was applying it with my fingers, but once it absorbs into the skin, it's really not a problem at all. And it's not sticky! I think it's a bit on the expensive side and the price is comparable to the department store brands, but I think this is worth the investment. A little bit goes a long way and that little bottle (1.7 oz) has lasted me through the summer and then some. I actually like the small bottle packaging because it's small and the bottle is thin, not big and bulky. I can throw into my makeup bag or handbag and carry it with me. And this will protect from UVA and UVB rays!

Best you will ever buy

I'm an expert on sunscreen. I was shying from the sun before it was cool, and long before everyone was making a big deal out of it. I've tried a lot of different suncreens over the years, and this is hands down the best by miles. I've used Neutrogena Dry Touch and Age Shield for years (before you could get Mexoryl in the US) and they're good, but not good under make up. I can't wear less than ...read moreSPF 50 ever (rain or shine, all four seasons, dermatologists orders), so I need something that goes on under make up and doesn't make my foundation slide off by 2PM. This goes on ultra smooth, sinks in easily, and gives a totally matte finish. In fact, it almost works as a foundation primer in and of itself! It's pricey, but you don't need a lot of it. Also, I only use it on my face and neck. I still use the cheaper stuff for my body, so a bottle still lasts me a month or so. But it's worth every penny you pay. Your make up stays flawless, your skin stays shielded from the sun.
