I've been using Anthelios XL for the past 5 years and this sunscreen is top notch. Most difficult to get in the US, but pop over to Canada or Mexico and it's sitting on the shelf. Or make friends...

I've been using this sunblock for more than 5 year and I am still loving it. The texture is pretty thick and leaves a faint white cast on the skin which I can accept. It may feels heavy if you...

This is really hard to rub into your skin. After rubbing it in for several minutes, my face feels kind of "thick" and hard. Really strange. It was very expensive to buy in my country, so my money...

Effective sun screen, but kind of shiny. It doesn't give you a matte look, and this can be corrected by adding a little powder, if necessary. Personally, I'd always go for Bioderma sunscreen, as...

I've been using this for years, it doesn't make me white, it's not too thick, easily absorbed and the protection it's great but it makes my skin a bit shiny.
