Reviews For La Roche-Posay Anthelios Mineral Gentle Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50
Filtered by: Clear Filters
Sensational sunscreen
I love this sunscreen! It goes on easily and does not need time to penetrate before going outside. It is highly recommended by EWG because of all the chemicals it does not have and for the ingredients that are contained that are gentle for my skin. I use this every day except when it’s raining!!

Best sunscreen I’ve used for highly sensitive skin
I have highly sensitive skin with contact dermatitis and eczema, so I have to use physical sunscreens. This is the first sunscreen that I have used on my face that doesn’t cause acne or dermatitis. I have olive skin tone and it does take a little time to work it into my skin but after a minute or less of blending, there is no white sheen.

Too pasty and white
This brand is excellent when using the tinted mineral formula. But this particular item is too white and pasty. I did not even want to use on my neck or body as the white was too apparent. I would not recommend unless you are looking for good coverage and you don't care that the white remains.

Creamy texture
It has a lovely creamy texture that melts into the skin and leaves a satin finish. Being a 100% mineral sunscreen, a cast is expected but the cast level is very low (in my opinion) among mineral sunscreens. My preference is layer a thin layer of tinted sunscreen on top of it if I need to go out. Also unlike a lot of other mineral sunscreens, this won’t dry out my skin at the end of the day.

Great Product, Terrible Smell
I decided to use this product over the summer as it is mineral based and better for the environment. As long as you re-apply at standard intervals it works great! Five consecutive days on the sun-filled beach, and I barely got sunburned (due to lack of re-application one day). There are two reason I did not give it five stars: the smell and it dried out my skin. This product smells like stale urine and it was incredibly drying to my skin, which runs dry anyway. So if your all about "function over fragrance" then I highly recommend but beware the smell is very off-putting.

Pretty Good Mineral Based Sunscreen
This sunscreen dries down nicely with only a small white cast. Rubs in fairly easily. Wish that they had a tinted version with iron oxides....

Affordable and effective
Very economical to use with just pea size it works for the whole face. It helped my face protected from heat this summer and moisturizes my skin at the same time.

Good Mineral Sunscreen
This sunscreen works really well. It does not cause breakouts to my sensitive skin. It also does not irritate skin. It does need to be rubbed in to not show. But, it is worth the effort.

No harmful chemicals
Great sun protection. Goes on smoothly and stays put. I've been buying La Roche-Posay products for years, and I trust them with my skin as well as my family's. Most of all, I really love that this sunscreen is mineral based.

Good as a no-fuss mineral sunblock
It goes on white and fades away completely (my skin is NC 30), which is great because I can see the areas I missed during application, but I DON'T have to wear make up to fix my skin tone afterwards. It is a little frightening how white/blue it appears when first applied, but give it 10 minutes. Before you leave the house it will be invisible. The texture is a rich cream that dries to a demi-matte powder finish without drying out my skin. There also is a bit of a "soft focus" finish to it (maybe the silica?) that subtly enhances my skin after dry down. I really like this for days where I just wear sunscreen and concealer.

white cast
Did not like this for my face. It left me with a horrible white cast and pilled my moisturizer. I'll just use it for my body but not face.
