Well, it is not very often that I get excited about using a sun protection cream so here is a first for me! I really loved this product from the minute I first applied it to my face and neck. It has such a lovely flowing velvety feel and so easy to apply evenly. It is a non perfumed product which I particularly like. More importantly it is also non-comedogenic (doesn’t cause blackheads!).The packaging is straight forward and I must say I am very impressed with the very informative leaflet enclosed, especially useful to me was the explanation of the difference between UVB and UVF because, as often as I am told the difference I forget just as quickly!

Also, when purchasing this product look out for the very informative brochure LA ROCHE-POSAY have supplied to Chemists concerning ‘Sun Risk Prevention From Mole to Melanoma’. They are also making a donation of One Euro to the Irish Cancer Society when you buy any Anthelios Fluid Extreme 50+ range.

I love the fact that this cream is tinted and lucky for me the light colour of the tint suits my skin which is fair perfectly – so much so that I now use it as a ‘tinted foundation’ but, of course I reapply regularly during the day when outdoors. I have been using this product for three weeks now and find it is giving me excellent protection from the elements! It comes in a 50ml size tube, is water resisant and is targeted at ‘Sun intolerant skin’. So in conclusion all I can say is that I would highly recommend this Sun Protection cream… as it does exactly as it says ‘on the tin’! The recommended retail price for this product is €19.50.

I LOVED this product! La Roche-Posay are always so good at skin care especially for sun protection but this is one of my favourites. I would definitely recommend this Anthelios Fluid Extreme 50+ to anyone looking for a high factor or to mix in with your own moisturiser reducing it’s factor to 25.

This product is recommended for anyone with sun intolerant skin, combination to oily skin and is water resistant. It’s non-perfumed, paraben free (preservative used in cosmetics), and has a lovely light weight texture that doesn’t leave that heavy greasy feeling on your skin. It absorbs straight in and doesn’t leave a shine. More importantly you are wearing a factor of 50+ unless you mix it with a moisturiser. Factor 50+ is great for anyone needing high protection or wanting to prevent previous sun damage done over the years from becoming any worse. I applied this in the morning after showering followed by foundation and daily make-up. The one sunny day we did have I applied it before sitting out (only for 30mins!!) and still got some colour, obviously without the harm.

La Roche Posay proved via 21 clinical studies that this is currently the best sun protection on the market so you don’t need to take my word for it! It is said to protect against UVA & UVB rays and ‘prevents cellular damage deep within the epidermis’.

They also do this in a spray version for the body that costs €22.50. Thumbs up for this product – great for anyone prone to clogging up from using heavier sun screens.
