Anthelios Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 Gentle Lotion, Broad Spectrum SPF + Antioxidants, Face & Body Sunscreen, Titanium Dioxide & Zinc Oxide, Oxybenzone Free, Oil Free

I searched far and wide for a safe mineral-based sunscreen for pregnancy. I settled on this one and I was not disappointed. It saved my skin from a lot of sunburn this summer! As other reviewers mentioned, it is harder to rub into the skin and can leave a whiteish tint, but that’s a small price to pay for a pregnancy-safe option.

This is my MUST HAVE sunscreen. I've had almost every type of skin cancer (thankfully, caught early), so I NEED good sun protection, especially on my face. I have very fair skin. This product leaves a bit of a white cast, but after a short period of time, that white case is absorbed. The white cast of a mineral sunscreen might look chalky on a person with darker skin. The BEST thing about this sunscreen is I can put it on my eyelids and under my eyes, it doesn't irritate my eyes AT ALL. The other well-known sunscreen I used for a long time really made my eyes sting if a bit got into them. This is my favorite sunscreen of all time.

Great coverage that doesn’t feel greasy or heavy. Definitely goes on white but blends quickly into my very fair, sensitive skin. I’m so happy to have found a mineral sunscreen I can use in my daily routine!

So, this product has some amazing qualities about it but it’s also not the most cosmetically elegant formula out there (I use it on my face/neck/hands). Some of the pros and cons overlap - allow me to explain. Pros: the ingredients are extremely non-irritating and I really trust the safety of this product; you can see where you are putting it because it is paste-like; the coverage is full and I feel very protected when I wear it; it is sweat proof; wears well under makeup and actually helps keep makeup on longer; it is a high SPF mineral sunscreen which typically provides better broad spectrum protection, does not degrade when exposed to UV rays, and is effective as soon as you apply it (chemical sunscreens work entirely differently and take 20 minutes to be absorbed and thus effective). Cons: It is paste-like, so it leave a slight white cast which does diminish a bit after 10 minutes or so, and rubbing it in thorough helps too (I am Caucasian & a 3 on the Fitzpatrick skin typing scale); because it is sweat/water proof, it sometimes leaves a residue on my fingers after I apply it & it makes taking my makeup off in the evening more difficult as well, so I always have to double or triple wash In summation, this is a great sunscreen that I will continue to use because I trust it. I prefer to wear this one under makeup because the white cast can be covered up. If I had a lighter skin tone that would not matter so much. For days I don’t wear makeup I am interested to find a tinted mineral SPF that I trust as much as this one but won’t break the bank. This one is a great value.

Most facial sunscreens are either too white or thick or hard to use or cause breakouts, but this does none of those. It’s creamy and easy to spread, doesn’t leave a white cast and my dermatologist approved, when he asked what I used. And it works.

My husband started using this sunscreen after his dermatologist recommended it for his rosacea, and he noticed a positive change in just a few days. It soothes his skin and doesn’t cause irritation or redness. We’re hopeful that, together with his other treatment, it will keep improving. It protects really well from the sun without feeling greasy. Excellent product from La Roche-Posay.

It went on, looked, and felt like a mix of white, pasty, heavy paint mixed with glue. The white pasty paint look never went away, even after attempting to rub it into my face for several minutes and being outside for a few hours. It remained a sticky, white paste for a few hours, as it baked onto my skin. Finally, when I attempted to wash it off in the shower, it refused to come off. I had to wash my face several times with soap and eventually use my fingernails to scrub it off. I can give it one star because it did, indeed work as a sunscreen. But the white pasty paint - glue effect was not acceptable to me. Not sure why it got such great reviews from others, but I will be throwing this expensive bottle of paint paste away. Surely there must be better physical sunscreens than this.

Not moisturizing at all and leaves white cast

It is nice one, it is white on the skin, but ok with me as it covers my open pores.

Excelente producto. Llego súper bien, solo necesito ponerme poco para cubrir toda mi cara y deja mi cara cero grasosa.

Used it for the face. Very thick so you only need to use a small amount and it doesn't leave the face oily. No sunburn yet and my wife loves it too.

I use this sunscreen for my toddler who has very sensitive skin and it seems to work well. It does have a white cast though.

The item I received was too dry like a powder. It was impossible the skin to observe. I am not sure it is because of old product (made in 2022) or it was badly stored. I could not ask for refund because I opened it.
