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.

What is PPD of this sunscreen?
- Asked by Thuy
- Official Answer By La Roche-Posay - BEHello there, thanks for reaching out about Anthelios Mineral Ultra-Light Face Sunscreen Fluid SPF 50.

All of La Roche-Posay sunscreens are Broad Spectrum, with the additional benefit and protection of CellOx Shield, an anti-oxidant complex that also defends against free radical damage. We hope this information is helpful and we wish you great success with our products!Was this answer helpful to you

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 would not buy this product again.
My dermatologist recommended this product. I purchased the product and then used the sample I received from the doctor. The product easily melted off my face in the hot, humid weather here in Florida. I had to return the product I purchased and got the Supergoop Unseen sunscreen which works beautifully.
Not for me
Purchased this sunscreen because I figured it would be okay for my sensitive skin. It applies nicely and doesn't sting my face (other sunscreens usually do). I'm fairly light skinned but it left a really bad white cast, pills and is a bit too drying for me.
White cast
Very thick and leaves a white cast.
Call Me Smurfette
Nice application, doesn't peel. Great for my sensitive skin but I'll need to apply makeup as you'll see this changed my face color. I would warn against darker skin tones wearing this sunscreen. Unfortunately, I rubbed this in after washing my face and moisturizing as much as I could but I still came out blue. Honestly not sure if this even works well for fairer skin types. I didn't get the tinted because I fear it will transfer but I'll have to return for that.

Great everyday sunscreen
MY sensitive skin was not irritated by this womderful sunscreen. It was nearly invisible on my face. worked well. Hurray.
