LRP Anthelios line used to be my must-have, until I found L'oreal Solar expertise line.

LPR sunscreen is one of my favorites..it's not too sticky and the consistency makes it easy to apply

I like this product and LPR. Not greasy nor heavy, not making my skin uncomfortable. I think it worths its price.

Mithai, I often use Blot powder on top of Anthelios to eliminate the shine too. When you say it degraded the s/screen, does this mean that you got a tan/felt burnt or you think that it degraded it from what you've read about using powders over the top of s/screens?

Interested to know!

I think it will be useful to write your skin type. While I was using LRP 40 it was making my skin a greasy mess, very oily and not appropriate at all for combo or oily skin types.
If it`s not greasy for you, I can assume you have dry skin?

I really like the sunscreens by La Roche Posay. The one I have is a spray-on one and it's light - not oily at all!

In the past, my eczema skin has left me easily irritated by all the sunscreens I've tried. La Roche Posay is the best one I've used thus far because it's gentle on my skin, not oily, and does not irritate it once I have a layer of it on me.

in fact, if you have acne-prone oily skin, there is another product in La rochy-posay for you, the same sunscreen line, but the one with AC SPF 30, which is specially for acne skin.
la roche-posay offers one of the best sunscreen, it's really popular in europe and in asia

thank you for drawing my attention to the LRP SPF30 sunscreen for acne-prone skin. It seems to be this one - Roche Posay Anthelios W 30 Gel, and it is made really for oily and problematic skins, sounds interesting!

the whole line of sunscreen from la roche posay combine a lot of good products, AC SPF 30 will be better for acne skin. you could try that too

i don't know about the product, i talked about the products in france, maybe in US it's different, but anyway, there is one special product for acne skin, you could consult yourself with their sales.

by the way, la roche posay is way too expensive in other countries, in france, it's one of the cheapest, like 12 euros for 50ml.

I have FE 60 too and used it on my 'Roman Holiday' Wink

....and I think it makes the face look very shiny but isnt to oily to the touch....And I fixed the shiny look problem by dusting on MAC Blot Powder which worked wonderfully....but ended up degrading my sunscreen Mad

Yep this is my problem too. Avobenzone is degraded by titanium dioxide, as I understand it. But some SS have both ingredients in them. This one is OK to use since it is avobenzone-free.

But I find it sticky and pasty.

I recently developed a sensitivity to this sunscreen. My lower lids get all red. I look like a raccoon whenever I use this sunscreen. I wonder why.

This is a great line of sunscreens, I tried them for the first time while living in France about 8 years ago. Now you can buy them online, they are truly superior to any other sunscreen I have tried with very reliable protection and no skin irritation.

I use Anthelios AC spf 30 (I live in Spain) but I have get some pimples, perhaps has been for this sunscreen.

This sunscreen is more moisturizer than UV Plus (Clarins) but I have not get pimples with UV Plus.

I would like to test UV Sport spf 45 (Skinceuticals).

I'm a big fan of LRP's sunblock products Very Happy

Vichy SPF50 used to be my favorite, but it's discontinued. Therefore I'm using LRP SPF40 as an alternative and it's pretty good!
