La Roche-Posay Anthelios Invisible Fluid SPF50+

This face sunscreen has always been highly recommended by many on beauty forums but I had taken my time to try it. The latest formula includes newer sunscreen filters such as Ethylhexyl Triazone and Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine. Like the previous formula, it is fragrance-free and has very high SPF50+ broad spectrum protection. It is designed to be used as a daily face sunscreen, providing protection with an invisible finish. The packaging is very practical with a pointed tip, it makes it easy to dispense without wastage. The texture is light and non-greasy, absorbs well, doesn't sting my eyes, sits well under make-up. I like the fact that it is fragrance-free. It doesn't clog my pores. It lives up to all the marketing claims and is very pleasant to use. The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is because of the price point which is $36 for 50ml. If it was the only face sunscreen this good, I would give it 5 stars. However, there are Australian alternatives on the market that I find just as good, that also have the newer sunscreen filters, that are much more budget friendly, so it wouldn't be my top recommendation to friends.

This sunscreen is exactly what it is marketed as. It's a lightweight non shiny invisible fluid. I was pleased that this fluid wasn't chalky since it says on packaging that it's not supposed to make you shiny, instead when you shake it and apply it to the skin it gives you a slight glow but not in an oil slick way. I would've say it gives you a matte look or takes away your shine. It is easly spreadable and works extremely well under make-up as it doesn't interfere with the colour of your foundation. I would recommend this product to anyone that wants a light non greasy chemical sunscreen that works for sensitive skin.
