La Roche-Posay® Anthelios XL Ultra Light SPF50+ Reviews

I'm really happy that I got to try this sunscreen. I think it's important to use a sunscreen with a high SPF and it comes in a great size to hold and take around with you. It comes out quite runny, which isn't ideal for a product on the pricey side. However a little does go a long way. This product definitely lives up to the lightweight name and is not oily or greasy. I loved this in comparison to other brands as my skin is prone to breakouts, the last thing I want is to have to deal with greasy sunscreen to protect my skin. I also like that it doesn't have that old sunscreen smell. It's a little thicker than moisturiser, is easily absorbed and I found that it blended in well underneath my foundation. I wore the sunscreen out in the sun for at least 4 hours and didn't get burnt, but it doesn't actually state a duration of cover. I found it unusual that it comes out from a little like nozzle, but it's easy to use - just remember to shake the bottle! All in all, this was a great product I will definitely use again. It does what it says it will with non greasy, light coverage.

The only reason I've given it 4/5 for recommendation is the price for the size that it is.

I hate sunscreen. I hate the greasy feeling that's left behind no matter how much you rub it in. I hate applying makeup on top of it and having it slide off my face by 10am. I hate the smell. I just hate everything about it. Except for the sun protection.

Anthelios XL Ultra by La Roche Posay has wowed me, by being the very opposite of every sunscreen I've tried. It's light, it soaks into the skin, leaving behind a smooth canvas for makeup. It has no scent and doesn't irritate the skin.

The bottle is very small, but I think you'll get a lot of uses out of it, so I'm not too concerned about that. I'd pay $31 for it, in fact I'll be picking it up when I'm next in the pharmacy, so I have one ready when this one runs out.

Wow.

I really like this sunscreen, it is super lightweight and a little bit goes a long way. It has a nice scent too, it is not too strong. It also does not leave any white cast on my face. I have acne prone skin so I am hesitant to use many products incase of break out but sunscreen did not break me out and I noticed that it helped soothe my skin a little bit. It is very protective against the sun as well. The only down side is the price of it as it can be a little bit pricey but it is worth it.

Interesting packaging! I’m so used to seeing huge ugly tubes of sunblock that just get thrown in the back of your car etc, this one seems fancy like you could put it in your handbag and not stress about it exploding and going everywhere in there! The sunblock is super light weight very thin didn’t notice much of a frangrance which is good I absolutely loathe sunblock and it’s smell and it’s greasy ness but this one is the best I have used! The price is a bit hefty but for all the great things mentioned above I think it ends up being worth it!

I was fairly shocked when I opened this to see how small it is - it's definitely a very small quantity for the price. I'm not a huge fan of the asymmetrical packaging from a purely aesthetic standpoint, but it seems to be good quality and sturdy.

The sunscreen itself is a surprisingly thin liquid, although it doesn't spread quite as far as I was expecting considering the consistency.

The texture is incredible, though. It's a beautiful velvety finish - no oiliness or greasiness to be found. Makeup sat perfectly on top of it, or if I didn't use makeup my skin felt natural and fresh. I'm extremely impressed by how well it sits on skin and how good it feels.

The complete lack of scent is wonderful - I hate using scented products on my face so sunscreen has always been a necessary evil, whereas this was genuinely nice to use.

I can't speak to how well it works as I didn't get much sun exposure during the trial period, but it gets top marks for being the most wearable sunscreen I've ever used.

The La Roche-Posay sunscreen is a nice light lotion for skin. It doesn't leave white marks and offers a 50+ sun protection rating, which I need in summer. It's not greasy and I can layer it under my makeup. It's suitable for my sensitive skin, which is great! I'm not fond of the bottle it is in. I find that it is deceptively small. Also, I read the ingredients and from what research I've done on sunscreen, I'm not a big fan of the ingredients they use for sun protection. This is purely a personal preference thing however. I do like it, and it does what it says it does.

This sunscreen has a strange texture. It doesn't feel as thick as most sunscreens but it is super easy to apply. It has a nice spout that allows you to put the right amount in your hands to rub on your face. It is instantly absorbed and leaves no white streaks. My 10year old son did not like the texture, he said it feels funny. There is no smell and you can't really feel it once you have applied it. Unfortunately I was unable to test its ability to prevent sunburn because the weather has been terrible for the majority of the time I have had it. I was a little shocked at how small the bottle is though, it wouldn't last my family of 4 very long.

Let me start by saying this was amazing! Everything about it from the coverage, the smell, the the thickness off the lotion to its effectiveness. I spent a weekend down in the King Country doing sheep docking in wind and sun and my skin afterwards was still soft and clear of any damage. I love how you can notice your skin looks soft and clear like you are looking after it! The only one downside is the smaller size of the bottle and the slightly dearer price, but I think the effectiveness of this product certainly makes up for it and as a suncare product through Summer it is definitely worth its weight in gold!

Great under your foundation, definitely good SPF, my only ‘complaint’ would be that the lotion is a little runny, but then you dont need it as a moisturiser, so works well.
