"My favorite products from La Roche-Posay, the Anthelios tinted mineral sunscreen. That one I have been using since like 2012 or something, long long time."

"Plus, it's got mattifying properties. So great for oily, combination skin, especially during the summer time. Great to use on a regular basis, too, not just summer. And it also is great to wear alone or under makeup. It's pretty elegant. [...] Ingredient wise, aside from the mineral filters, it's got La Roche-Posay thermal spring water and then silica that helps provide that lightweight and mattifying feel."

"For acne prone skin, I think it's important to look for sunscreens that are formulated to be non-comedogenic, maybe with ingredients that are anti-inflammatory like niacinamide. I really like La Roche-Posay the whole Anthelios line. It's really lightweight, and some of them even have mattifying properties if you're oily and acne prone."

"This is a really high SPF with a matte finish, so if you're more oily or even if you're sensitive, this is a really good sunscreen for you. It also protects against both UVA and UVB rays and environmental stressors. It is super lightweight texture, absorbs quickly, therefore it is perfect for layering under makeup. It contains titanium dioxide, which is a physical barrier that prevents harmful UV rays from reaching your skin."

"This is a La Roche-Posay Tinted Mineral Sunscreen, I've never tried a La Roche-Posay sunscreen before. It's so greasy, but I will confess, this is nice. I don't think this means I'm suddenly going to get into La Roche-Posay sunscreens though, because when you look at the price of this versus K beauty sunscreens, I just don't know how to go back at this point."

"I have used this one, it's very highly rated, it is a little bit on the pricier side, and I just have to be honest guys, every time I've used that sunscreen it has this finish on the skin that feels just not pleasant. Every time I've tried to use it I don't like it because it makes my skin shiny, greasy."
