    I found this far too heavy for my face, so I used it on my body - until I decided I hated it so much that I was just going to throw out the small remaining amount. This left a terrible white cast...

    This is by far the best sunscreen ever. I normally can't use a sunscreen everyday because it either gives me a very bad rash, breaks me out or makes me greasy. This is the FIRST SPF product that...

    I am confused on this product. I started ordering it from a Canadian pharmacy about five years ago and i LOVE IT!. I then saw they were selling it in the United States - after the Mexoryl SX was...

    I was given a free tube of this sunscreen by a friend who works for LaRoche, and she gave me very specific instructions on its application which may explain why so many people are dissatisfied with...

    I tried the tester at CVS. It spread on nicely with no discernable white cast. But holy crap it was GREASE CITY. I'd say it was 10-15 minutes later that I went to check up on its progress that I...

    Quick summary: overpriced disaster! Like so many others who have reviewed this product, I had heard the good things about the French La Roche Posay sunscreens and wanted to try one. Since I was low...

    What a disappointment! I was so pleased to find this at CVS, never mind the fairly high price. Most Anthelios reviews are great and I was looking forward to a good moisturizing sunscreen for my...

    I am really perplexed! I have always been a devoted SPF user. Since I was 14 I have been using at least SPF 40 most of the time SPF 50 all over any exposed body parts. I usually switch it up...

    I tried this sunscreen hoping it would offer better protection and a better texture than my usual physical blocks, to stop the freckling & damage I've been getting from working near a window. At...

    I must begin by saying that I've tried lots of sunscreens and am currently using Tazorac .05 % cream on my sensitive and fair skin. I'm a Baumann OSPT, treating as W for the most part if that...

    If you want to look like a geisha, then by all means try this. I could not get this to blend into my skin no matter how quickly or how long I "tried" to rub it in. I also tried cutting out my...

    True that anthelios 40 does not have the same great texture of the spf 50+ sold in europe. BUT, it s the best protection we can get in the US, and if you are serious about sun protection or/and you...
