Happy with it - everyday use
I did a lot of research before purchasing a face sunscreen for everyday use and chose this one even after reading some negative reviews. I have experienced a perfect consistency with this sunscreen and wonder if some people who find it gritty just aren't shaking it before using. Also, this product g...

Yes, it's grainy now
I've used this for years, and yes they changed the formula and yes it is grainy now. I thought at first it was due to the heat of summer and maybe the formula was separating in storage everywhere due to that, but it has persisted through the winter with bottles made more recently. I've bought bottle...

I tried this sunscreen with and without makeup. On its own it looks very dry and made my pale skin look even more pale. It was better with makeup. Not really a white cast but just like you need to put on lotion. Smell was minimal. I would recommend for oily skin.
Loved it

I loved this sunscreen. I just discovered mineral sunscreens last year and am a permanent convert. I am nearly as pale as you can get and burn easily outside. There is a white cast though that doesn't bother me at all. Sun protection was great. Didn't feel greasy and didn't look like an oily mess. I received this product free in exchange for an honest review. I had been using a similar brand at nearly 3x the price and will be switching to this!

I usually love their products but this sunscreen is jist okay. It does provide effective sun protection but I do recommend using with moisturizer because this sunscreen has left me with white, dry patches. Not a good luck. It has a strong suncreen smell but you cannot smell it on you. The sunblock is okay, but not for me.
Excellent chemical-free protection for your face

I love the consistency of this sunscreen. It's really thin and lightweight...and melts right into your skin, leaving a silky smooth finish and great pre-makeup base. There's also no hint of fragrance so you don't feel like you're supposed to be at the beach when wearing it. It's formulated for all skin types (including sensitive skin like mine) and doesn't cause any irritation or redness. It actually feels quite nice on the skin. And I love the packaging - it comes in a cool, slim bottle that easily fits in a small pocket. What I love most about this product is that it's not only more effective as a mineral sunscreen than traditional (non-mineral) ones, but it also doesn't contain any chemicals that absorb into the skin. The two active ingredients (titanium dioxide and zinc oxide) simply provide a barrier on the skin's surface that reflect the sun's damaging rays. There's also a tropical leaf extract included (senna alata) that acts as an antioxidant to help prevent premature aging from the sun. The only downside I would say I experienced with this product was the slight white cast it left on my skin. This is fairly common for mineral sunscreens but due to this, I've decided to limit my wear to days when I'm going to be outside and in direct sunlight. I have a pretty fair complexion as it is and don't need to be making myself any paler when I'm stuck inside most of the day, behind a computer. Perhaps if I wore heavier makeup, I wouldn't notice it as much but next time, I think I'll try the tinted version for everyday wear. With that said, I'm still very happy I own this and will use every last drop with summer around the corner.

- Q
Will this product leave a white residue on a medium dark complexion?
- Asked by Doriam
- Official Answer By La Roche-Posay - BEHi There! Depending on the formulation, chemical sunscreens may be easier to rub into the skin and are less likely to leave a white cast. Like mineral sunscreens, chemical sunscreens should also be applied 15 minutes before sun exposure, to effectively protect your skin from UV rays.
