| Are the two versions very different? Is the Bioderma fluid similar to the Anthelios XL Fluid? Which Bioderma version is better for combination/acne/clog-prone skin? Thanks. |

The Bioderma Max Fluid is more suited for combi/oily skin. The cream one is better for dry skin.
I personally prefer the bioderma fluid over LRP anthelios. The LRP one stings and dehydrates my skin. I dunno, maybeee the alcohol % is lower with bioderma.
Hths! |

| What I didn't like about the Anthelios Fluid is that even though it is meant for oily skin, I found that it made my skin look greasy anyway. Does the Bioderma Fluid (or Creme) make you look greasy? |

Nope, the Bioderma Fluid doesn't make me look greasy. This one kind of dries up better than the Avene Emulsion SPF 50+ which I also use, depending on the state of my skin. I've not used the Bioderma Creme. For reference, I'm mostly combi (oily t-zone), but can also veer between slightly dry to slightly oily.
I am wondering what you meant when you said the LRP made you look greasy. Does your skin become more oily? If so, it might be because of the alcohol in it irritating your skin and causing it to produce more oil.
Or do you mean it made you look greasy? I personally don't like the mexoryls in LRP. I've tried a few s/s that use mexoryls, and they all made my face look so shiny sales girls were pushing oil control products to me. LOLs. Except it was just shine, not oil.  The tinsorbs in Avene and Bioderma are much better imo.
Just another thought. Perhaps you can try physical s/s. Some of them are extremely mattifying. |

I don't really know if my face is or looks greasy. I think it makes me look greasy rather than producing oil. I could be wrong though. Like after I first apply it my skin looks greasy, then at the end of the day my nose and forehead look really really greasy, but I still think it's the product not me but like I said I don't really know.
I was reading reviews over at MUA and I was wondering if you ever had problems with the Fluid not absorbing well into your skin so that as the day goes on it separates from your skin and sits in patches on your face. That might have been with the old formulation though. Thanks for your help! |

LOL Seems to me the LRP makes your face look shiny. Some grease at the end of the day is perfectly normal, I'd only be concerned if skin starts oiling up within 2hrs.
I've not had problems with the fluid. It spreads and absorbs well for me. The few times it separated and got patchy later in the day, well my skin was just on the drier side those few days. Don't think it was the s/s.
I am not too sure about any old formulation though. I started using this only this year, and I am liking it very much.  |

| Oh that sounds promising. Does it leave you with a white caste? I know that I can always mix in some of the Bioderma tinted cream but I'd prefer not to... |

| The Max Fluide definitely has better oil control than the cream and a less shiny finish compared to LRP Antihelios Fluide Extreme. At least on my face (combination skin with oily T zone). It is a bit on the pricey side though. An alternative is the SPF50 Family spray 400mls which gives slightly less oil control compared to the Max Fluide but still acceptable for me. I don't recommend the SPF40 Family spray because it is scented and I don't like their "sunshine fragrance". The SPF50 spray is unscented. |

Nope, no white caste. But I am pale skined. NC 15-20 thereabouts. 
And yes, the price is keeping me from using it exclusively. The tube is ridiculously small.  |

I was planning on getting the creme since other people said that the fluid is just really greasy as is, more so than the cream, but now I don't know what to do! |

I hope you read this in time. I'm cross posting m1rox from another thread, the Bioderma Max Fluid SPF50 has been newly formulated without alcohol. I've not tried the new version w/o alcohol.

| Regarding Bioderma, my favourite is the Max Fluide SPF50 but I understand they have now reformulated it without alcohol and it is now PPD38 instead of 35. Before rejoicing in the exclusion of alcohol, I also received some feedback that the new version is not as fluid and seems to give a more shiny and whitening finish compared to the old version. So anybody thinking to switch over, please try and get a sample or just buy ONE tube to test out first before stocking up. The Bioderma AKN Matt SPF40 is also alcohol-free but please note that this is not fragrance-free (I have to admit I don't like Bioderma's "sunshine" fragrance - I wish they would omit fragrance in all of their sunscreens). |

| I recently tried the Bioderma Photoderm MAX Teinted Cream - and I am extremely happy with it! I have a light olive complexion, and the tinted cream appeared much darker, yet it blended in quite nicely. It felt great, and left a nice glow, but I chose to brush a mineral veil over it just to keep my slightly oily skin in check throughout the day. At the end of the day my skin still looked great - and felt wonderful. I've been researching the differences between SPF products and those that cover UVA. I believe this sunscreen covers all of the UVA/UVB rays. I understand it has both physical and chemical sunscreens - and there may be a concern about the health aspects of chemical sunscreens; however, I want the UVA protection. Until there is a physical sunscreen that provides complete UVA protection, this sunscreen will continue to be my choice. |

Japanese make better lightweight but high SPF (especially above 50) sunblock for oily/combination skin. Shiseido, kose and sofina have good ones that can't go wrong.
I gave up trying out European/US brands long ago after throwing away some greasy tubes... What I couldn't stand was they made my handbag handles white and ugly  |
