I love this sunscreen so much, it rubs in really quickly and has a light, dewy but not oily feel on the skin, not sticky or anything. doesn't break out my acne-prone skin as some thicker sunscreens do. probably my favourite sunscreen I've tried. only trouble is that it's quite small as most face sunscreens seem to be :(

A great sunscreen
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.

La Roche Posay Anthelios XL50+ Ultra Light
I have read a lot about this sunscreen and decided to try but was very disappointed.
It was very grainy and not smooth on my face. I can't find the expiry date on the box, maybe it was old stock.
Tips: Use on arms and neck areas not on face if you happen to get a grainy bottle.

Great for everyday use!
I've repurchased this four times so can testify this is a great sunscreen! It's great for oily skin and I'm sure it would work well for normal or dry skin too.
I've tried lots of different sunscreens and always find them either too greasy (like body sunscreens) which causes breakouts and looks bad or they give too much of a white cast (like zinc), but I don't have those issues with this one. The formula is really lightweight (it's quite liquid-y) so it sits well under makeup and doesn't cause any pilling.
The only negative thing about the formula is that if I apply it too soon after a vitamin C serum I feel light stinging/tingling so it's possible it might react with products with high concentrations (my vit c is about 20%).
The only other negative is that it's tiny (like most facial sunscreens) so every time I repurchase it I hesitate because of the price and quantity. It would be amazing if it was sold in larger quantities. Overall it's a great formula though and I will most likely keep repurchasing it!
Tips: If you apply any serums wait 10 minutes before applying this sunscreen to avoid reactions.

Great face sunscreen
I loved how this sunscreen didn’t break me out, which alot of sunscreens leave me with those little bumps on my cheek bones But this, thankfully didn’t. For this size it’s pretty pricey, but I’m still happy to purchase it, as it’s a regular in my skin routine It’s scent isn’t too over powering, which I really appreciated. I LOVE La Roche-Posay sensitive products. And this, also, worked great for my sensitive skin.
Tips: Always give it a good shake before use

Ready for the day!
This SPF is lightweight and absorbs quickly so you can get on with your morning makeup routine. You won't notice the extra layer, it spreads beautifully and with SPF50+ you know it will reward you in 20 years time.
Tips: I like to add a dash of illuminator on days I'm not wearing makeup over the top for a glow. On hot summer mornings I put it on then brush my teeth while I wait for it to absorb, before my makeup routine begins.

Does a good job
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.
Tips: Make sure you shake the bottle before use

SUMMER SAVIOUR
This sunscreen is absolutely amazing; I don't like wearing products with sunscreen on my face as they usually clog my pores and make me feel oily; however, this product is so lightweight, does what it promises, and a little goes a long way!

Fantastic sunscreen
I purchased this last year when I saw it on sale. I really love La Roche Posay products. It comes in a 50ml bottle with a cap. Easy and convenient to use!
I actually hate sunscreen and the feeling of it on my skin. I have sensitive skin too so I get a horrible rash with most sunscreens I try. Thankfully this was not the case with this!
It applies nicely on the skin and absorbs so well! It is definitely more on the runnier side and quite lightweight. No greasy, sticky feeling at all. It also doesn't smell bad like other sunscreens do! I never got burnt wearing this....I am very pale so I always apply it often.
A great sunscreen for the whole family. I recommend keeping an eye out for a sale. While I do like it I won't be purchasing this year as I like the Skinnies sunscreen a lot better for my daughter and I.

Actively hunted for this sunscreen after trying a sample. Non greasy, thin consistency, great under make up. I normally hate wearing an spf under makeup as it feels greasy and thick. Now I love it, I don't need a day cream as I also find it hydrating enough.
