    La Roche-Posay ANTHELIOS XL SPF 50+ Ultra-light 50 mL is a new formulation with the lightest texture, an invisible finish and the highest UVA and UVB protection available in Australia. It can be used by all skin types even those with sensitive skin.

It aims to help protect against both UVA and UBA rays that can cause premature skin ageing and cancer.

Most triallers reported that the product absorbed quickly into their skin and didn’t leave a white mask effect on their skin. The majority of triallers found that the sunscreen gave adequate sun protection from the sun. The majority of triallers were pleased with the size of the bottle, as they could easily slip it into their handbag without weighing it down. Most triallers also thought it was a handy size to take travelling.

    “The sunscreen itself is housed in a small bottle with a screw top lid that easily fits into any of my handbags for application while I'm out. After application my skin feels smooth and soft not greasy like some other sunscreens can and it melts into my skin almost immediately. I haven't had any sunburn since I started using the product so all in all it has been awesome. I also haven't had any skin reactions, (either has my toddler) so that's another plus in my book. All in all I will definitely be buying it again and I think it might be particularly good for travel as the bottle seems to be very air tight, not to mention the perfect size to take anywhere! ”

    “The packaging is a cute and compact squeeze bottle. Great for everyday use. I can easily slip in into my handbag. It’s great for taking travelling, too. Love that it is SPF 50 and ultra light. It absorbed into my skin easily after I applied it. It left my skin feeling natural throughout the whole day. No more greasy skin, and the best part of all, no more streaky white noticeable sunscreen to be seen. My skin gets sensitive when it's too hot so this product suits my skin very well as it’s designed to be used for people with sensitive skin. Just remember to shake the product well to get an even application. It’s my skin’s new best-friend. Anyone who needs a lightweight sunscreen should try this out as it is one of the best I've used to date. ”

    “The sunscreen goes on smoothly and feels so incredibly light on the skin. Most sunscreens feel too heavy on my skin and clog my pores so I have to stop using them. There was no danger at all of that with this one. It’s the lightest sunscreen I have ever used and I have tried just about all of them! It basically absorbed as soon as I applied it and my skin felt hydrated and smooth. My makeup applied brilliantly over this. No caking, clumping or darkening of mineral foundations. It was basically like I had no sunscreen on at all! After a few weeks of use, I’ve had no reactions. I was initially concerned with how small this tube was but I have been using it daily for a couple of weeks now and there is still plenty remaining - a little goes a long way. There were days when I was out quite a bit in the heat and did not get even the mildest of redness so it definitely shields well from sunburn. I love how easily transportable it is. It takes up very little space in my bag so I currently carry it everywhere. ”

    “La Roche-Posay Anthelios XL 50+ Ultra Light sunscreen is exactly that, ultra light, while still providing great sun protection. It is so lovely to wear, that you forget that you are actually wearing sunscreen. It comes in a cute little bottle that fits comfortably in your hand and is a great size for your handbag or pocket. It's smaller than an iPhone and is slightly curved. It absorbs quickly into the skin so there is no fear the bottle will get greasy. The sunscreen flows easily from the nozzle and the lid fits snugly with a hidden plug inside to stop leakage. It is not perfumed but it does have a delicate pleasant scent that doesn't linger. I applied it all over my face before going outside and it gave me great sun protection with a matt finish. It's not shiny at all. And I had no sunburn. Such a convenient size to have on hand to reapply too. ”

    “I have been really impressed with the La Roche-Posay Anthelion XL non-perfumed fluid sunscreen. Fluid sunscreen is a great description as it glides on to the face and absorbs almost immediately. When applying this sunscreen it is quite thin and when rubbing into my face I did find that it did feel a bit oily however this feeling went away almost immediately and I was unable to tell that I had even put the product on my face. There was no white residue to be found like some face sunscreens on the market and it was also so easy to rub in compared to others which take a while to absorb into the skin. For this reason I feel as though it was the perfect sunscreen to add to my morning skin routine. The sunscreen comes in a cute bottle that is easy to throw into your handbag to reapply as needed throughout the day. ”

    Their sunscreens are so great - not this one but just bought the one for kids.

    Dermatologists recommend this which is more of an endorsement than "Dermatologically Tested".

    Agree! This is my go to sunscreen. I always stock a couple of bottles when La roche posay is on sale.

    Quite a small amount though! How long does it last? Because it sounds amazing.

    I was lucky enough to be included in this trial, definitely the one product I have purchased myself since trialling. I love how the formula is super light, it doesn't feel or look like sunscreen at all! I usually put it on under my makeup and it almost acts like a primer. Being very sensitive to the sun I think it's super important when purchasing my sunscreen it be SPF 50+

    I really need to pick up a bottle of this for the coming months!
    skincare junkie 23 Oct 2017 9:05 PM
    Excellent reviews! I will keep this in mind. I usually use a moisturiser / bb cream with SPF and I don't use a full on sunscreen unless I am going to the beach.
    clearcrystalwater 23 Oct 2017 4:06 PM
    Yeah I love the way this is so thin and I cannot feel it on really - and it doesn't feel sticky or anything on the skin so I kind of forget I'm even wearing it. It's a really good one for my face especially for days when I'm probably going to swim because it's waterproof. Yay!
    ray_jay 23 Oct 2017 3:36 PM
    Really great reviews, well written and helpful. Thanks ladies.
    This is one of the few chemical sunscreens I like and work for me. No sting and protects so well.
    You beauty 22 Oct 2017 8:43 PM
    I go through many sunscreen in a year and this is one of my favourite.
    It's light weight and non sticky.
