I have the Micro Fluide Mat SPF 50+ for Combination to Oily Skin version of this.
I quite like it, I don't find it that mattifying though even though this is one of it's claims. However this might be because I was born in Australia and have been taught to use all sun products properly, and you need to use a fair amount to get the SPF coverage that a product promises.
But I like it, it's a runny fluid and easy to apply. I went through the bottle quite quickly, but again as above, I'm quite liberal in my application. Didn't irritate my skin nor was it clogging and it didn't leave a white caste. Would definitely purchase it again.

I actually enjoy using this sunscreen a lot. I have tried numerous sunscreens (clarins, shiseido, clinique, estee lauder, dior, ombrelle, copperstone, avene, aveeno, neutrogena..etc) and I ended up getting painful cystic acne along the chin, forehead, and you know the rest. I became fearful of using suncreen, until I gave vichy a try after testing its consistency at shoppers drugmart. It's very light weight, doesn't leave a white cast or oily film like others. Underneath this sunscreen, I would use Yonka creams. It does not ball up, change colors, and after 1 month of consistent use, I have not had an outbreak yet.

I feel that this sun screen protects quite well and is light to apply but it has a couple of down sides.
1) it balls up a lot especially if you use a moisturiser underneath
2) it does not leave a matte finish and feels a little greasy
3) it might have clogged my pores
I'm not sure if it was this product that gave me zits, so I'm a little cautious on the third point. However, it doesn't leave the matte finish it promises although it's not as greasy and shiny as most sun screens tend to be. If you can't find anything else, this might do but it's not the best.

Short verdict: it's going to be very clogging.
Review: I didn't use any sunscreen all winter long, and I had absolutely perfect skin. I use LPR AC during summer. I have oily/combo skin and AC can be drying in low humidity winter months. Anyways, for me, person with oily skin, large easily clogged pores, very blackhead prone, AC is the best sunscreen I tried so far. I decided to try this one just for no reason. It's a bit more whitening than AC, it's a bit more greasy shiny going, but nothing bad, it's ok, but it makes my skin oily by the middle of the day while AC does not, and it broke me out the first day I used it, a few whiteheads, some clogged pores, a few white bumps under skin, and a couple of huge puss filled zits. I am in my mid thirties and I still can not get used to having lotions potions on my face, everything feels heavy on me, except of a few HG products, I can handle AC, but I do feel Vichy Micro, I wanted to wash it off a couple of hours after smearing it on, I couldn't wait until evening, I washed my face at 3 pm, it was so greasy and skin felt dirty. I don't use heavy makeup, just powder. You will need to apply powder on top of Micro because it's a bit shiny. AC goes more mattifying. I did try it again second time, and I broke out more, not looking good. So my experiment did not work, I will continue using LPR AC. It works like a primer, makes my pores smaller, controls oil. Vichy did nothing elegant for my skin, though it didn't make pores larger either. I can not say anything about protection. It's probably good. I just don't like having zits, and I am not acne prone. I get acne only when I start putting crap on my face, otherwise I am doing good :o) And by the way, my skin got less greasy and clearing up right away after I stopped using Vichy Micro.

I think it is the best s/s I have ever used. To put it simply, it combines the high protection of euro s/s with the elegant finish and weightless feel of Japanese s/s. It is labeled hypoallergenic, paraben free, and fragrance free.

Active ingredients: Mexoryl SX + Mexoryl XL. It also contains Sebostop, patented microparticles that help absorb sebum.

Protection: It wasn't listed on the bottle, but from what I found online from Vichy and various pharmacy sites, PPD should be between 15 and 20.

It's a thin, runny, silicone-based liquid that you need to shake up, like Sofina Lucent. It feels slippery when you first apply it to the skin, probably due to the silicone. Once it's rubbed in, it leaves a smooth, skin-like finish (no shine at all, but not too matte) with absolutely no stickiness, and no white residue on my light-to-medium, MAC NC25 skin.

This version is probably best for normal and combination skins. People with drier skin (like me) probably need a moisturizer underneath. There is also a Micro-Fluide Mat SPF 50 version that I think would be great for oilier skins.

Packaging: It comes in a small bottle (40 ml) with a point tip applicator (like Sofina Lucent).

Price: I picked it up for €14.50 (about $18, $19) in the pharmacy in Germany.
