What the gurus are saying

The lightweight, serum-like texture that feels like air is the star here, addressing the main complaint that most sunscreens feel heavy and clog pores. Gurus appreciate the hydrating ingredients (hyaluronic acid and niacinamide), particularly good for those with acne-prone or hyperpigmented skin, and praise how well it sits invisibly under makeup. The formula does have a noticeable shine, though reviewers find this an acceptable trade-off for such a weightless feel.

"One of my new favorite sunscreens of the year would have to be La Roche-Posay's UV Air. It truly is like air, it's so lightweight, it's designed like a serum, it also has a fine tipped applicator. This is for the friends who say 'I hate sunscreen because it feels so heavy, it feels like it clogs my pores.' This truly feels like a skin care serum. It has hyaluronic acid to help hydrate the skin and niacinamide as well, which I love for those who have acne prone skin or if you have hyperpigmentation. So, this is just almost a near-perfect sunscreen. It is a chemical UV filter, unlike K's which is all mineral. Lightweight, breathable, and practically invisible under makeup."

"La Roche-Posay released a Mineral UV Air Serum SPF 50 for $43. It's a titanium dioxide zinc oxide based sunscreen designed to provide multiday daily UV protection and weightless texture as light as air. It's fragrance free and alcohol free. I don't really love a lot of mineral only sunscreens, but it looks unique and looks like it might have a little bit of tint to it. Might be a really nice option for some people."

"I have loved so much. It's my new favorite La Roche-Posay sunscreen for the face. I also love the U Meltton sunscreen Milk, but I like the aesthetics of this a touch better. The Meltton Sunscreen Milk is a little bit more what you would describe as semi matte, demi matte. It's got a glow to it for sure, but it's not as shiny as that one is. Sunscreen often does make the face look shiny because it's providing this reflective surface as that film has formed. If it's a water-resistant formula, I find that it's even more of a shine factor that goes into it."

"If you watch my recent video reviewing the new Lar Ro Pose UV Air sunscreen, another formula I have rather enjoy, the shine on this is about 70% dialed down in comparison to that."
