The ingredients and formula have already been posted, so I concentrate on how this worked on my skin.
My skin is combo-acne-prone-dehydrated-sensitive.
I watch out for comedogenic ingredients in the sunscreens and thereīs a lot of ingredients to watch out for, considering the uge list of ingredients.
However, with hyperpigmentation and acne-prone skin, thereīs no use in whining, because I definitely need good protection. Unless I want ageing-spots and clogged pores allover my face.
This is meant for oily/combination skin. Dry skin might feel a little uncomfortable, because it has a mattifying effect and I have to use a good moisturizer underneath. It tends to give my skin a flaky effect, but this effect disappears after 5 minutes.
As I said, I always use moisturizer underneath my sunscreens and even with my moisturizer, this one feels like itīs slightly drying out my skin.
On the other hand, it doesnīt leave a freakish white cast on my face and disappears after a few minutes.
I wore it without make-up on top and thatīs what I would prefer with this sunscreen.
I feel, that my Kiehlīs super fluid works waaay better under foundations and generally.
Why I even consider this sunscreen, when Kiehlīs is better? Honestly, this is way cheaper here in Germany than the Kiehlīs one. A 50 ml bottle costs about 11 Euros while Kiehlīs costs 39 Euros.
So this would be a sunscreen for weekends or outdoor, when I donīt wear make-up.
I didnīt break me out and didnīt cause any allergic reactions.

This is a great sunscreen for occasional use, but not for everyday!
This leaves a white cast that never fades. The finish is powdery which is great for minimizing pore size but it will cause peeling and flaking if you try to put liquid foundation on top. Even without putting make up on top I still see some flakes around my chin and jaw line (not pretty!). The finish is still shiny and makes my face look unnatural (no powder can fix that for me). In comparison to ISDIN fusion fluide, my skin absorves this much slower...when I tried to put powder on top, I had to wait 30 min and the puff still came a bit wet.
I also tried this sunscreen while indoors without anything underneath or on top and after 3-4h sitting in front of my computer my face looks very greasy.

The water resistant is good, did not come off when I splashed with water or when I used it to run.
I only use this product when I am working in the garden, I can (and I do) re-apply it once and I can't see any obvious tan on my face (I also use a big floppy hat and avoid midday sun).
This is one of the very few sunscreens that don't irritate my skin or break me out (a huge deal for me!).
I prefer this to the spf 50 version, which I found to be way too powdery and really hard to re-apply.

The best sunscreen I have tried for my combination/acne-prone skin. I have been using this for 2 years, and I have "strayed" to try other sunscreens but always end up going back to this one, so I don't think I will switch anymore. Don't fix what isn't broken, right? I love how easy it is to apply this sunscreen with the fluid texture. I have medium tan skin and it does not leave a ghostly white cast on my face. Depending on how much I apply, I might sometimes end up looking shiny. I use this on my bare skin i.e. without a moisturizer underneath because I found that it is less heavy on my skin that way. Most importantly, this sunscreen does not break me out. Definitely a HG!

I have great trouble finding sunscreens that work for me, as my skin is not only oily and very sensitive, I also have rosacea. Have been seeing a dermatologist for IPL rosacea treatments, and she told me I should always wear a sunscreen with spf of at least 30, every single day, even in winter. But most chemical sunscreens irritate my skin, while the physical ones are so shiny and thick I can't stand the feel of them. This sunscreen is the best I've ever tried, and I think I will stick with it. I apply it every morning on top of a very light serum, after the serum has sunk in. I don't need any other moisturizer. The sunscreen goes on slightly white, but soon dries down to a transparent finish. There is a slight shininess, and I matte it down with powder in my t-zone. Haven't had any irritation or flushing from this product, and it has excellent UVA and UVB protection. I wish there were a product that was completely unshiny, but so far there isn't, so this is the best I've found.

I wore this for best part of a year. I thought it worked just fine though a bit shiny and balled up if I used it directly on top of Biotherm moisturiser. It didnt cause spots and breakouts but I noticed my pores were always blocked on my forehead and generally had minor congestion all over my face. I happened to notice that on the box mine came in the dreaded Cetyl Alcohol ( a comedogenic 5 rating) was present. I note with interest that this ingredient isn't in the drop down list of ingredients. Odd. Isocetyl Stearate is also a 5 so either way it blocks my pores.

This is the best sunscreen for the face I have ever tried. For my fair skin and oily T-zone it's the perfect fit. I like the liquid consistency and the whitish tint it leaves on the face. If you haven't noticed the smell is very light and almost unnoticeable (I'm very picky on smells).It does not feel oily or greasy, it's perfect moisturiser/sunscreen. In winter I use only this as a sunscreen. In summer I wear a high SPF 30+ facial cream and this sunscreen, because skin needs more protection and moisture. I don't love the packaging though, I like when the cap is not up, but down. It's a minor thing, but I would like it that way more.
I have tried quite a lot of sunscreens, but I haven't found any better than LRP and Bioderma. They're both french and have "light" versions of sunscreens (the only ones I buy cause they dry quicker and don't have that awful oily feeling and look. I still haven't chosen which sunscreens I like more, they're both good quality. Bioderma is cheaper though, but I do tend to fancy LRP more somehow.
This one is a definite HG. But I totally regret getting it in 30 and not 50. Next bottle will be SPF 50!

I did not want to leave a review but after trying this sunscreen I feel I am complied to do so.
I have always preferred sunscreens with a high content of ZnO (combined with OMC or TiO2). It is because ZnO is a highly photo-stable broad-spectrum sunscreen that provides excellent protection in the UVB, UVA II and UVA I region. No other sunscreen (alone) can do that! (Except Tinosorb M). ZnO contributes also to the cosmetic elegance of the formula.
Needless to say I was very skeptical about LRP Anthelios SPF 30 AC even though all the reviews here were very positive about this sunscreen. I have to confirm that they are 100% true to reality! It is an amazing sunscreen for ALL skin types! (If you have dry skin, use it with a moisturizer). It really truly dries to a semi-matte, silky, very elegant finish making pores appear smaller (none of the chemical sunscreens I have ever tried did that, in fact just the opposite! And believe me I have tried them all as a European sunscreen-junkie for over 20 years !). For me the previous editions of Anthelios Fluide Extreme and Bioderma sunscreens were impossible to use because they literally burnt my skin and eyes instantly after application. It always resulted in thorough removal of sunscreens and applying anti-irritant OTC cremes to calm the skin. I did not experience any of this with LRP Anthelios SPF 30 AC. If I can compare this sunscreen in feel and finish to something, it would definitely be La Mer The SPF 30 UV Protecting Fluid (10% ZnO, 7.5% OMC). Just as elegant. The difference is that LRP Anthelios SPF 30 AC has higher PPD rating, is without parabens and fragrance and cost a lot less!!! The only drawback is that it contains a lot of chemical filters to achieve its protection.

This is sunscreen that doesn't feel like a typical sunscreen (if that makes any sense at all)! Firstly, i would recommend this to EVERYONE, especially for the acne-prone and/or sensitive-skinned people, for everyday use. I am so prone to breakouts and have hyper-oily skin, and this is one sunscreen that has never made me break out (so far, at least). Lightweight and water-resistant, it dries quickly to a matte finish unlike most others, doesn't leave a white cast, and actually smoothens out my skin's surface. However, it doesn't go on too well if your moisturizer is not totally dry yet so my impatience made me take one lippie off. Otherwise, this is fantastic and i don't see myself tempted to look for an alternative anytime soon. I've just started using this so hopefully it doesn't break me out if i use it for a longer term. Once again, LRP can't seem to do any wrong.

I use this as my main sunscreen, sometimes instead of moisturizer and works perfectly. It doesn't break me out (which apparently everything else does! lol) and doesn't turn oily during hot days. It's great!

This is a very good sunscreen for my combination oily- but dehydrated-skin. The consistence is very runny and it leaves a slightly white cast on your face, but it gives a smooth touch and is not greasy, that was my main issue. First I thought this stuff is very expensive because the bottle looks so small and I thought I would use it up in one or two weeks, but i am using it now for 2 months everyday and I have more than 50% of it left. So IMO it will last long and it is really worth the money.

This is an ok product, maybe better than most sunscreens. Got it as a tester. It didn't break out my skin though I noticed a few blocked pores on my chins and it has a high protection. No parabens and no perfume is always a plus. It has a runny consistency and it's not sticky as most sun screens which is hard to find! However, it didn't give me that feeling of skin nutrition as some creams do because it was so matte, for some skin types this is good I guess, but maybe it felt a little too dry on me? The white cast that it left on my skin made me look a bit ghostly and it didn't seem to adjust during the day. It DID leave out the sun, I spent a whole day in the sun and there was no sign of that in the night! I would actually like a sunscreen that allows me to get a little glow and Vitamin D as well without getting a sun burn. I read my country's (Europe) official health boards' advices on sunscreen and they say that SPF15 should be enough for a normal adult skin type and that SPF30 doesn't mean double protection, it's just a few percentages more sun rays that it blocks out and it also means that you get less of the important vitamin D that comes from the sun. They say that SPF30+ only would be neccesary if you are spending many hours in the sun, when the UV index is 6+ and if you have very light sensitive skin. What is more important, they say, is how much you put on the skin: a very thin layer might not work very well, whatever the SPF is. And a high SPF doesn't mean that you can spend much more time in the sun, there is no guarantee that you wont get a sun burn when you are in the sun, no matter the SPF level. Just remember not to listen to those people who are trying to sell you a product, or magazine journalists, they are not skin doctors!! The higher SPF the more expensive the product and maybe you are just paying for 3% difference. I consider looking for an SPF20, Weleda Edelweiss has been recommended, also paraben free.

It dries me out a bit and causes slight white cast. I prefer Shiseido senka SPF50

Excellent sunscreen, very matte and reminds me of the sofina but with less alcohol.

Updated: After a couple of weeks of use I started getting cysts...this was the culprit.
This is a runny liquidy product that after 7 days of use has not irritated my skin or caused pimples. It stayed on through a 30 min run. It does have a slight white cast, and it takes FOREVER to dry down on me....all silicone type formulas are like this on me. The formula seems similar to the old Shiseido 55 lotion or MAC prep and prime, with less white cast and less acne-causing potential. Although this is a bit drying, it is much less drying that the old Shiseido 55 or Mac P&P. With my oily skin in summertime I did not have to use any moisturizer underneath not did I have any flakes after removal. I do have to powder over this after waiting a bit or mix a bit of tinted silica gel into it due to the slight white cast...the shine however is very minimal. And it is expensive for a small amount. Still good to know there is something out there with some avobenzone that I can actually use. I got a sample of the Creme Fondante FF with this order and I like the finish of Fondante better....it dries faster, and then I can powder right over it. But Fondante made me flush one time I tried it...so it isn't as good for my sensitive rosacean skin. continued >>

I am very happy with this sunscreen. I have been using it my t-zone for 2 months and it has not caused any breakouts or irritation. It does leave a slight white cast on my light olive skin and is rather shiny on my naturally shiny skin, although the latter is much improved by using Bioderma Pore Refiner underneath, as it has a mattifying effect. I fiind that if I leave 20 mins or so between applying skincare and sunscreen then I do not have any problems with pilling. Any residual white cast or shininess is well taken care of by Korres Multivitamin Powder . The AC sunscreen makes a good base for powder and, although I need to blot after a few or several hours according to the weather, the powder does not become 'muddy' or 'cakey' or 'travel around' as it can do with some other sunscreens. As I suffer from melasma on the sides of my face, I use the stronger Anthelios 50+ Fluide Extreme on these areas, as well as around my eyes.

I love this sunscreen, so far its my favourite. Its gentle and doesn't sting my eyes when applied pretty close to my eyes. Just have to be gentle when applying cos it cannot be applied like when you are applying your moisturizer, or else stuff like eraser is going to appear. I love using a makeup sponge or foundation brush to apply it with. I also mix concealer or foundation into this sunscreen to create a tinted sunscreen.
Also it does not affect my concealer application. Clinique's cityblock will cake my concealer when I apply it after.

This is one of the best sunscreens I have used until now. I read again and again, that the sunscreens of La Roche Posay have a high quality broad spectrum sunprotection, so I feel like it is protecting my skin in the best way possible. You have to shake the bottle thoroughly, and apply the liquid generously. At first, it always leaves a white cast on my face for about 1 or 2 minutes, but that disappears completely after massaging it in a little bit and giving it time to sink in. The same phenomenon happens with the greasy feeling I get immediately after applying. It feels greasy and like a layer on my skin, but then it really soaks into the skin and it is absolutely not noticable anymore for me - I donīt see it, and I donīt feel it as an extra layer, and it isnīt sticky either. It is not mattifying though, it just leaves your skin in the state it usually is. Lately I found that I donīt really need to use moisturizer underneath, just a serum is enough for me in the summer. Really a great sunscreen! I would buy this again and again. But out of curiosity I ordered some Neutrogena Sunscreens lately, so I will test those and see how they compare to this.

Love this SS! Don't love the spary applicator but it's a small price to pay for all the good it does. Went on well on my oily skin didn't feel tacky either. I don't use moisturizer during the day because my skin can't handle it and this provided all the moisture I needed. I did notice some pilling when I layered it however. So not the greatest if used with any other creams. All I know is that I ALWAYS break out with SS's. This one didn't cause any flare-ups. Going on 3 months now. Still love it!

overall, very pleased with this. imo, it is just about as matte as shiseido's 55 lotion. it is def. more matte the the regular FEs and doesn't see to migrate as much on the face. it doesn't seem to clog me up.
nice ppd/spf ratio! in germany this is labeled as having a ppd of 20.
cons: stings a bit around the eyes, slight white cast, but not too bad. may emphasize flakes a bit if skin is dried out and flaky. ... this isn't really a ss intended for dry skins though. as stated on the packaging, it is meant for OILY skins, not DRY.

This didn't work for me. It left a slight whitecast and like all of LRP's sunscreens w/TO2, it stuck to any and all dry patch and accentuated it. Did not like it and will not buy again.
