Happy with it - everyday use
I did a lot of research before purchasing a face sunscreen for everyday use and chose this one even after reading some negative reviews. I have experienced a perfect consistency with this sunscreen and wonder if some people who find it gritty just aren't shaking it before using. Also, this product gives me no white cast, but I will add that I have pale skin. As someone who uses a retinoid gel, this mineral sunscreen gives me the protection I need. I will add that when I bought this sunscreen at Target, my first box had the other, non-mineral version in it with a tester sticker but I had no issues exchanging it.

Unpleasant
I was surprised when I saw this fluid come out of the tube white, the body version is a tan color. And not pleasantly surprised. I thought this would have a silky texture to it, but it feels like rubbing sand on your face. After I finished applying it (all nicely rubbed in, it does absorb well) I looked like a corpse. I have a light, but not pale complexion and looking in the mirror now it looks like all the blood is drained from my face. My skin feels smooth and I am confident that it will be protected from the sun but I look awful.

Disappointed
Having used La Roche-Posay sunscreens for many years I was excited about trying this new one. Unfortunately, the 'non-whitening' claim is incorrect. After using it for the first time my husband actually asked me what was wrong with my face as it had a pale white look to it. I tried it again the next day using the product even more sparingly that the first time with the same white results. I would buy this again.

Best bet
I feel from my research and the fact that my dermatologist recommneded LAROCHE-POSAY sunscreens that this sunscreen is a my best bet. I do like the light consistency and the feel on my face/neck/decolletage. As far as I know I am pleased with the ingredients. My skin needs help (my derm and I have plans for that) so there is a bit of white that shows up on my skin what with my large pores and such. But, then I am looking into a lighted make-up mirror. So I will not take stars off due to my perfectionistic scrutinizing ways.

great for sensitive skin con: whitening
I am asian, with very sensitive skin, prone to breakouts and I find it very hard to find a suitable sunscreen, I have tried a lot of products and the only ones I feel comfortable with so far is Louis Widmer- I could not find them in USA and Anthelios, Anthelios in my opinion is better for oily skin and does not have the heavy sunscreen feel . CONS: whitening effect is slight but present, the initial chemical smell.

Awesome
At first I was using too much, getting the whitening effect but once I figured out the correct amount I LOVE IT ..... I am out in the sun a lot and am fair ( I am a natural redhead) so I need all the protection as I don't want any freckles or discoloration on face, neck or hands ( yes I use it on my hands) so far I have had excellent results! I am wanting to try the 60SPF but overall very satisfied with the 45SPF

Second time buyer
First time i bought a body sunscreen and it was have and milky but it seemed to protect so I decided to buy one for the face (Anthelios 50 Ultra light sunscreen fluid). On the box it says Matte finish, non whitening. None of it it's correct. It's leaves a milky appearance and it does not blend well with any moisturizer I tried. It's ok if used Very Sparingly and alone, not with moisturizer or make up. Once the make up is put on, the sunscreen becomes grainy like sand. Tried different moisturizers and make up but nothing worked. I even took it to the store where I bought it and talked to a person at the CS department. She suggested to mix the sunscreen with the moisturizer first, before applying it on the face but it didn't work either. I'm very disappointed. I live in a very dry area and need moisturizer always but also I do my work outside and need sunscreen. I would not buy it again. At least not in the same formulation.

Great for pregnant mommas, too
I did a lot of research on sunscreens before deciding on this one--it's the first one I've used that hasn't made me breakout and I love that it doesn't have an odd fragrance or pill when I put makeup on. It's even gentle enough to use around the eyes. And the fact that it's safe to use while pregnant and nursing was a major selling point for me.
