I am in my 40s and have dry, sensitive skin. I am an archaeologist and often have to work outdoors but then turn around and look professional in front of people on the same day. I have been having problems with most sunscreens, making my face feel as though clay is slowly sucking all the moisture out of my face and eyes as the day goes on. I have tried switching over to various tinted sunscreen moisturizers, but they look like tinted lotion. The coverage is thin and shiny, and things stick to it. I was expecting more of the same with this product - but this is its own creature!
When I first squeezed out some of this product, I thought it had gone bad or separated. It came out like a rope of clay. I placed the product on the palm of my hand and stared at it, not sure whether to even put it on my face. I got to stay home for the day, so I risked it. I am SO glad I did. I smoothed it around on my hand to warm it up a little and dabbed it around on my face, neck, and ears. Then, I tried out a makeup sponge I just bought on Amazon to try (to see if I could get any of those other tinted moisturizer sunscreens to look more like makeup). The damp makeup sponge and this stuff is a miracle combination. On me, it looks like nice makeup! It feels like a soft, powdered, creamy primer. Not at all wet or oily like the tinted moisturizers.
I waited 6 hours and dabbed on another layer with the damp makeup sponge - to see if I could apply another layer if I were out working all day or needed to look nicer and be seen by other people. The second layer dabbed on with the sponge beautifully and didn't separate or clump at all.
After wearing it all day long, the biggest deal for me was that my eyes don't look or feel dry. It felt like this sunscreen actually trapped the moisture underneath. I think this has now become my main, everyday makeup. I have begun to experiment with dabbing normal foundation over this for a more formal look, and it is working too.
The consistency and texture of this product is strange and different from any other I have ever used - but it looks the best on me and plays the nicest with moisturizer, hyaluronic acid serum, and makeup. So far, nothing that I've tried it with has separated or curdled. I've read many other people write about mixing this product with moisturizer to spread it in a thinner consistency, so this product is extremely versatile.
I will be using this as my go-to sunscreen makeup.

Dissapointed, had high hopes
I've been using a tinted mousse primer Anthelious Unifiant spf 50 by La Roche-Posay that is not sold in the U.S. and have to buy it in Mexico. It goes on beautifully, smooth, silky, evens out my blotchy skin and looks and feels like velvet. I have called the company to try to order the same formula and they knew nothing about it! Suddenly they come up with this new formula and I was hoping it was like the one I import. Unfortunately it is dry, has a grainy texture, pulls on my skin when applying it (even in hot TX weather) and gives me a yellowish mask-like look. I am Hispanic with olive color, oily, sun damaged,imperfect and mature skin. This product does not work like spackle on my pores; or cover melasma like it claims, they show right through; even magnifies any little holes or bumps and if I wear make up or concealer over it then I end up with a thick layer and not a natural look , not to mention an oily face anyway which streaks and have to blot it. In other words, my oily skin still comes through. I really wish they had used the formula they sell to latin America and Brazil (made in Germany), the velvety one that I don't have to wear makeup over, the one that resembles in texture Tizo 3 mineral fusion, which I love but doesn't cover as well and is only 40 spf but less expensive. Why couldn't you give us the GOOD FORMULA?! Can I get my money back?

El producto tiene una contextura extraña, se siente arenoso cuando lo aplicó, no se absorbe bien y queda muy blanca la piel. Me hace arder los ojos. No se parece para nada a otros bloqueadores que he usado de La Roche Posay. Muy desepcionada de los resultados, siento como si no fuera un producto original. Esposa Steve, Liliana
