La Roche-Posay Anthelios Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50

La rosche posay in the EU I literally am as pale as I am in the winter wearing this, even while traveling all through out somewhere with really strong sun.

It is completely matte and is really good at oil-control, regardless of the products you put underneath. I used it with a toner, a hyaluronic serum, and a lotion-type moisturizer and it dried everything up. Normally, I get oily after 30 minutes or an hour as my glasses start slipping down on my nose but when I wear this sunscreen, my glasses start slipping 3-4 hours later. However, it is too drying as my skin reacts badly to it after consecutive use; I get red spots even on my oily T-zone, signalling that my skin is dehydrated. ... I don’t think I will repurchase this because I want to apply sunscreen in a normal fashion not like I have to cut the wire of a bomb about to explode in 10 seconds.

and then I ended up accidently buying the older version online (which might still be in production?), and oh boy, was that a different experience! Not dry-touch, but oily! They looked so similar, but I instantly felt the difference on my face, because it didn’t dry down. Absolutely horrible in comparison, I felt so gross.

I really wanted to like this one, it's the first product i bought from LRP which i heard many recommendations about. This product is from their new series and it seemed like it was meant for me lol. Unfortunately, it's a letdown. It leaves a gooey sticky sort of film on my face which pills when touching (i know touching is a big no no... i'm trying my best haha). Yet it does spread easily and has a nice consistency when applying. Has high protection with new filters. It has many great ingredients, maybe for other people this will work but for me it's a no go. I'm not willing to take any discomfort. Could be it's happening due to my skin type and on other it won't happen. Probably has the highest sun protection on this list with a combination of physical (zinc and titanium) and the propriety Lorel list of chemical filters (not the newest uvmune though) . It's weird but somehow this one has grown on me, after using it for a couple of weeks. Maybe I was really oily at the beginning and what I experienced was that my oiliness. This could have actually made my skin better! with ingredients such as Niacinamide, Zinc and Salicylic acid. It doesn't pill any more, there is no thick film on the skin, applying and reapplying is easy and fast. Leaves my skin pretty matte.

I actually bought the newest version first – and I loved it. I couldn’t understand how people hated it (the skincare community is very split when it comes to the Shaka fluid). Of course, everyone’s skin is difference and can have a lot to say on how a sunscreen feels and behaves on the skin. It’s a fluid, so you have to shake it thoroughly. It takes a little bit longer to apply, since it’s a fluid. It dries down matte, and you can’t see that you’re wearing anything. Easy peasy. Its biggest downfall is the prize (I bought it on sale) and that it only comes in a tiny 50ml, so you can’t buy it in bulk, so to speak. But this was the newest version (as of this year)… and then I ended up accidently buying the older version online (which might still be in production?), and oh boy, was that a different experience! Not dry-touch, but oily! They looked so similar, but I instantly felt the difference on my face, because it didn’t dry down. Absolutely horrible in comparison, I felt so gross. You can tell the new version from the old from the packaging: The newest version has “ANTI-OXYDANT” written underneath the “UVB + UVA” text. It has a similar texture as the Piz Buin mentioned above, but I personally think the Piz Buin is superior in texture: even more dry-touch. But the shaka outshines almost all sunscreens in terms of UVB and UVA protection, and it doesn’t have any irritating fragrance to boot. I thought this would be my final HG sunscreen, because it couldn’t get any better in terms of UV protection and cosmetic elegance.

Not tacky or drying, but depending on the level of dewy you’re looking for it’s minimal. Honestly what sells me on it so far is the fact the texture is nonexistent post application and that it doesn’t look like I have makeup on OR that gray hue cast so many others leave. I feel like I see soooo many people in this subreddit mention EltaMD tho I haven’t tried it myself!

I also can’t do chemical sunscreen and recently tried La Roche Posay’s mineral sunscreen and really like it so far! Some people also suggested Elta MD sunscreen to me so I might try that next just to compare but I don’t have any issues with LRP’s sunscreen at all!

Nooo just get La Roche Posay! The mineral one is amazing!

Not Sephora but I use two tinted mineral sunscreens. La Roche Posay(Shoppers) and Eucerin tinted (Walmart). Both do well with my sensitive skin
