Excellent daily moisturizer w/ Mexoryl SX

This moisturizing cream goes on easily and blends well onto the skin. Compared to Lancome's UV Expert 20 with Mexoryl SX, this cream is much, much better! Lancome's equivalent product doesn't go on very easily and leaves a white film on the skin, causing a ghostly look. For a product with Mexoryl SX, I'd definitely go with this one.

I don't find it to be greasy

I have very oily skin. My face will start a shine within fifteen minutes of washing it. I can not use any moisturizer that contains oil or I will break out. I have been using Cetahpil daily moisturizer SPF 15 for years because it did not make my face break out and it did not sting my eyes when I put it around them. It is oil free but did cause my face to shine instantly upon application. A week ago I switched to this sunblock because it offers such good UVB protection (helps prevent the sun from aging the skin). I was pretty worried that I wasn't going to like it because of all the "greasy" comments in the reviews. I am thrilled that I find it quite a bit less greasy then my Cetaphil was. I still use the Cetaphil around my eyes because I am afraid the Mexoryl with sting them. The Mexoryl doesn't contain any oil and so far my skin hasn't broken out from it. I think I have a new daily sunblock!
1 month later- I love this moisturizer/sunblock. Am now using it exclusively including around my eyes and on my mouth. My eyes have not stung and I haven't noticed any bad taste. No breakouts either!

A pleasant surprise - amazing moisturizer plus it protects you from UVA rays

I initially got this product for the UVA protection. I had no idea I'd use it as my daily moisturizer too. It makes my skin super soft and highly moisturized. I have extreme combo skin (very greasy T-zone and ultra dry non-T zone area). This product is perfect for my skin. My skin looks even-toned and radiant, not greasy at all. I have been using it for 2 months now and it's been so great. I just love the fact that you get protection from UVA which is the main culprit of aging skin.

What's the difference between UVB vs UVA?

UVB: damages the outer layer of the skin, has been recognized for decades as the cause of sunburn and as a major contributor to skin cancer.
SPF refers to protection from UVB only.

UVA: while not contributing to sunburns -- damage deeper layers of the skin and probably play an important role in wrinkling, spotting, lost elasticity and most deadly form of the dangerous skin cancer, melanoma.

Other sunscreens, even if they market them as "broad spectrum protection", don't protect against short UVA rays but this La Roche-Posay product does. FDA approved mexoryl SX which protects your skin from short UVA rays. It's patented by L'Oreal (the mother company).

I highly recommend it. Remember to use it year-round, even when it's cloudy because UVA rays penetrate through clouds and windows.

DId not disappoint

I ordered this sunscreen for my husband as he has very sensitive skin and tends to break out. This product works great and even helped clear up his blemishes. He did not find it to be greasy and was amazed at how good it felt on his skin. We plan to order more in the future and I would highly recommend it. Don't know why it took so long for the FDA to approve it in the US

Anthelios SX is a light, non-greasy, fragrance-free daily use moisturizer with sunscreen that combines Parsol 1789 (avobenzone) and an innovative ingredient, Mexoryl SX (ecamsule) to help provide UVA protection. It is allergy-tested, PABA-free, suitable for sensitive skin and offers 24-hour hydration. Anthelios SX has complete broad spectrum protection. Anthelios SX contains MEXORYLTM SX, the most effective FDA-approved organic filter designed to protect against short UVA rays (maximum absorption at 344nm) with high photostability, a key factor in sunscreen protection efficacy. This high photostability means the sunscreen will maintain a higher UVA protective ability longer and not degrade as quickly as other FDA approved UVA filters when exposed to the sun.
