    I was very disappointed in this product. I have very acne prone skin and this caused breakouts. I don't know why they call it a gel - it defitely isn't. It made my face SO shiny so its not suitable...

    Oh my gosh. I spent around thirty bucks on this sunscreen and am honestly considering throwing it in the trash. I previously used the SPF 45 Lait from this brand, and I found it a little too...

    Looking for a good daily sunscreen, I picked this up for about $30 usd for 100ml tube. For this price, I was hoping for HG status. This product is not at all what I expected. Packaged and...

    It's not a gel at all. If you have oily or combo skin avoid it as much as you can. Very heavy, oily, shine all over the place a bit og white cast. La Roche Posay sun products are good if you...

    This sunscreen is way too shiny to use on the face. It is outrageously shiny, and in addition very sticky. There are better options out there from La Roche Posay (e.g., Dermo-Pediatrics SPF 40...

    Try Vichy before trying any anthelios sunscreen. I bought this because of the good reviews on MUA. However, alcohol content irritated my skin. Moreover, it is definitely more shiny than Vichy. I...

    I stocked up on this after trying it in Europe. On my normal to dry skin, this has turned out to be the lightest feeling LRP sunscreen thus far. It's not really a gel (more like a very light...

    I bought this sunscreen while in France this summer - so it wasn't outrageously priced - 13 euros. I bought the 'gel' because I have oily skin. Well, just like the other reviewers have said: this...
