"I also just picked up La Roche-Posay's Anthelios UV Air. This is light as air, and I find it wonderful for just layering again and again throughout the day. I don't think you can get this in the US."

"This is a chemical UV filter sunscreen, and when they call it UV Air I thought they were being pretty confident, but it really is like air, it's a serum like sunscreen that acts like skin care. It has nice niacinamide, it's a higher price point, but it melts away into the skin so quickly, just a couple of swipes and it's gone. I can wear this every day, it feels weightless, and it has a nice little dewy glow. This has been a lifesaver this summer."

"If you have something slowing down the evaporation of sweat, it will make you sweat more and feel overheated. [...] If you have very oily skin, this type of formulation tends to mix with your background sebum and almost dilute it out, cutting down on shine overall. As a result, the skin not only looks smoother, but it does not have that shiny, greasy finish. [...] This sunscreen layers pretty well under makeup."

La Roche-Posay UV Air Sunscreen Serum SPF 50 Review | Worth the Price?

"I give it a four out of five star rating. Everything about it I really like... but I do not like the price point."

I Used All These Sunscreens: Here’s What I Think

"I have loved so much. It's my new favorite La Roche-Posay sunscreen for the face. I also love the UVMune Sunscreen Milk, but I like the aesthetics of this a touch better. The UVMune Sunscreen Milk, however, is a little bit more what you would might 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. You know, sunscreen often does make the face look shiny because it's providing this reflective surface as that film has formed."
