Reviews For La Roche-Posay Anthelios 50 Mineral Ultra Light Sunscreen Fluid SPF 50
Does Not Blend
This sunscreen leaves a white cast. It does go on matte, which is great with no shiny or greasy look, but even after 20 minutes the white cast was clearly there - probably about 45% still there.

It's ok
It's ok, but when putting on a decent enough amount to get adequate protection it pills.

Great Option for Fair Skin
I have been a long-time fan of La Roche-Posay's sunscreens. I accidentally ordered this one thinking it was one I have used in the past. As a sunscreen itself, it works just fine. I have no complaints there. Because this is a mineral version, it does have a strong white cast. When I try to blend it in to get the white cast to settle and go away, it will start to ball up. Therefore, it's most likely pulling up all the skincare I put underneath it. I think this would be good for someone with very fair skin. My skintone is medium with a yellow undertone.

It’s acceptable
I didn’t care for the texture of this product, but I’m still using it. I just feel it’s almost too ultra light.

Good not great
I have fair skin, but applying a proper 1/4 teaspoon of this product to my face leaves a slight white cast even on my skin. I could see those who are NC/NW 25 or higher not caring for this. For me, it's fine because it acts as more of a brightening effect under makeup. It is not moisturizing in any way, so dry skin types may not fare well with this. With a good moisturizer underneath, it is nicely mattifying for my combination skin. I will use up my bottle, but this will probably not be repurchased.

Just OK
This sunscreen is light but has a very silicone like feel that I do not like. I find that it seemed to migrate into fine lines after an hour or so. I will not re order---might use it on fishing boat, etc. but not on a daily basis. My new holy grail facial ss is Suntegrity 5 in 1 BB cream 30 spf. It has 20% micronized zinc oxide looks and feels fabulous on the skin comes in 5 shades---fair is perfect for me!

Non- whitening claim is false
I have used La Roche Posay for years. I bought this product BECAUSE of the claim of non-whitening. My face is a mask of white when I use it and looks ridiculous. That said, it is the one product that protects my face from sunburn.

Disappointed
The packaging describes this sunscreen as "matte finish" and "non-whitening" which is why I bought it. I don't think it's either one of these things. It's greasy and very hard to rub the white away. I've used other La Roche-Posay sunscreens and this isn't any different. All of them leave a ghostly white residue on my skin. I think it's also too liquidy. It drips and runs before I can rub it on.

Non-whitening claim is false.
I was disappointed with this product's claim that it was non-whitening; quite the opposite is true & it's also very difficult to blend.

Very light weight but expensive
The product lives up to its claim that it is light-weight. It comes out like a viscous liquid not like most other sunscreens that are instead thick. II can spread a small amount all over my face. If I spread only a thin layer over my face it does not whiten much HOWEVER, if I put a teaspoon on my face, it is very white. I was very unsure what was the right amount to put on. The bottle does not give any recommendations but most dermatologist recommend people use a teaspoon of sunscreen for the face. Unless this product provides sunscreen protection with a much smaller quantity than other products, then there is no advantage to it in terms of the amount it whitens and it is very expensive.
