I picked up a free sample from my dermatologist and fell in love immediately! I love the fact that it's SPF60 and didn't irritate my sensitive skin. I also liked how lightweight it was. However, after using it for a while, here's what I don't like. It absorbs too quickly for me. As I apply it, if I rub it in too much it starts rolling up into little balls and coming back off. At first, I thought it was my own skin sloughing off, but it's definitely the product. So the workaround is to apply it liberally and quickly and let it absorb. Also, if I get this product anywhere near my lips, I end up tasting it and it tastes HORRIBLE. Additionally, if I get it near my eyes it stings like crazy. It is extremely runny and if it were less so, I think I would like it better. All that said, it's a good product, albeit a little pricey. I have purchased a second bottle already but I'm going to look around and try something else before I buy a third.
I have rosacea and this is not greasy and doesn't break my skin out. I bought this to replace my other sunscreen that was to greasy for summer. I will definitely be purchasing this for now on.
Recently used this on a ski trip for faces and backs of necks. Best sunscreen I've ever used on your face. Completely non-greasy, didn't worry about it running into our eyes. Well worth the money.
This sunscreen has a runny texture. I found a wonderful sunscreen that is a bit pricey but has the fluidity of just thicker than milk, but a slight green tint that hides redness..it starts with L --Mer. If you like this, you will LOVE that.
Pros: smooth texture, lightweight, absorbs quickly, pleasant fragrance, gentle, non-greasy, really blocks the sun

BEST SUNBLOCK EVER!!!!
”
-October 11, 2011
I'm from Puerto Rico and it's almost a 100 degress the whole year. I haven't been in the sun since I moved to Alexandria, VA and now I love the cold weather, not having greasy hair and face ALL the time. I went home last week for vacation and I went to the beach for 4 days in a row and this is the only product that prevented me from sunburning. Actually, there's no sign on my face that I went to the beach for 4 days. Everyone asked me at work where was my tan since I didn't have any! Just on my body- which they can't see of course! It's so light, not sticky or greasy and sits perfect under makeup. My fiancee also used it and fell in love with it! Only re-applied twice after being in the sun from 10am til 4pm. I've always thought La Roche Posay comes up with the best products but this is insane. Make one just like this for the body and no more sunburns in the body either!!!!!! Best ever.
I was looking to add high suncreen factor SPF to my daily regimen, and as it was touted in all the girlie magazines, I splashed out on this. This has turned out to be my best purchase ever! The fluid is light, not greasy, it sinks in, has a high protection factor, plus it has the mexoryl which helps protect your skin. A little goes a long way, so don't be put off by the price. I've been using mine on a daily basis for six months, and there is still plenty left. I usually mix it into my make up or moisturizer, but I've also put it on over. Either works. I've actually started using this on my arms and hands as well, as it does not feel greasy. Even my husband who hates any kind of products likes this and uses this. You can also get the waterproof childrens formula if you do sport. A must have for the summer.
This sunscreen easily slipped right into my usual skincare regimen in place of a heavier cream with less protection. Love that it goes on quickly and I'm confident I'll have a high level of protection.
Pros: lightweight, absorbs quickly, gentle, non greasy

My new face sunscreen!!
”
-August 9, 2011
I've had the hardest time trying to find a suitable sunscreen for my combination skin. I'm very fair, and most products leave me greasy which I absolutely hate, especially under makeup. This absorbed quickly, was NEVER greasy, and was undetectable under my makeup. There is a slight sunscreen smell to it, but its very slight and didnt bother me. It is more expensive than other products I have tried, but then again this actually works and a little goes a very long way. Overall I find its a great value, I love it!
This sunscreen with SPF 60 has the highest overall protection of any that I have encountered. My dermatologist recommends it, but you sell it for less when you have sales. I wish it had a bit more body because it is supposed to sit on top of your skin and not absorb in order to work best. I drive around in my new Lexus covertible all the time, so I bought 3 bottles to cover face neck chest hands and arms too.
Pros: smooth texture, lightweight, absorbs quickly, pleasant fragrance, gentle, no ashy look on darker skin
Cons: kind of pricey for just a sunscreen

best sunscreen for me
”
-June 10, 2011
I did try several sunscreen products. This is the best ever!! It does not leave my face look ashy and it absorbs so so fast and leaving a silky texture on my skin. I love love this sunscreen and will continue using it since it has a high level of protection. I do have brown skin and it is very hard to find sunscreen that does not make my skin look ashy when apply. The best skin care is to make sure you use sunscreen!!!
I tend to break out very easily and I haven't had any blemishes with this sunscreen. I mix it with my lotion and then apply it to my face. It doesn't feel/look greasy at all and leaves my face looking perfect. Highly recommended!! LaRoche Posay makes the best products ever!
I bought this product and can't use it under my foundation. It is good for a day on the beach or working in the garden but I don't like it for everyday use.
At first, I thought this product was really smooth and luxurious. I was initially surprised at just how luquidy the formula is- the term "fluid" is no joke. The good part about this sunscreen is that it applies smoothly and is the opposite of chalky- you will have no problems with white residue. However, it left yellow coloring on my face. It just gave me a yellow tint. Another con is that it is RIDICULOUSLY oily..there is no chance that I could apply this and head out the door. I always had to give myself at least twenty minutes of cushion time so that I could let it dry, pat it with tissue, and apply powder. I think that this product would be best for someone who has very dry skin. My skin is dry, but it also produces oil like CRAZY. I would not purchase this again.
I have combination skin that is quite oily during the warmer months and this is the only sunscreen that I will use on my face. It is a lightweight liquid, and in my experience does not contribute to breakouts.
Got this sunscreen after hearing rave reviews and at the advice of a dermatologist. It's a bit different because of the liquid texture but works the same. Takes a few minutes to absorb into the skin but it does absorb. I haven't really noticed a smell and have not had a break out or sun burn since I started using it a month ago.
This is by far the best sunscreen I've used, and the one I highly recommend to all friends and family. It's lightweight (non-sticky!) and doesn't have that heavy sunscreen smell other brands have. It's kept my skin fair despite long days out in the sun, even when I'm in LA.
I was looking for a very long time for a very high SPF cream for oily and sensitive skin. what I love best is that matte finish that last long time. you will fall in love with this fluid
Pros: smooth texture, lightweight, absorbs quickly, pleasant fragrance, gentle, does not sting your eyes when you sweat
Cons: very liquid be careful not to squeeze out too much

Best sunscreen I have ever used. I have very fair skin and I am outside a lot in the humidity. I doesn't seem to sweat off because I have not had it get in my eyes and start stinging. I liked it so much I bought some for my dad for father's day!
The texture was pretty good, but the neck line on my clothes were stained - really stained a faint orange yellow color. I haven't been able to remove the stains yet. Doesn't it make you wonder what's in this stuff. Never again for this product.
