The only one I'm aware of is by Lancome
UV EXPERT 20 with MEXORYL™ SX
I think it retails for $35 USD |

I'm almost positive I saw in last week's CVS flyer that they now carry LaRoche Posay Mexoryl sunscreen - it was onsale too! I could be wrong, though. Maybe try CVS.com and do a search?

You both are correct. The only problem (?) is that these contain Mexoryl SX and not Mexoryl XL, which is the stronger (more effective) form of Mexoryl.
For example, the Lancome s/s has a ppd of 10. I'm trying to find a ppd >20.
Back to ordering European s/s for me  |

I have yet to see it in a brick-and-mortar store. It is a better s/s than the US is used to but so much less than the Euro and Asian s/s for about the same amount of $$.
I'm sticking with my Asian s/s |

| What's so special about Mexoryl XL? Is it better than titanium/zinc dioxide? |

Anthelios SX has been out for a while. Check your local CVS to see if they carry. Some reported seeing it at Ulta as well. |
