Why does it smell now?
Have been using this for years and for some reason the recent formula smells really bad? I’m so confused.. the previous ones had no smell at all. Are they bad or they just changed the formula? And I purchased from 2 different retailers to see and they both smell like that. Now i have to find a different sunscreen after using this brand for years.

Horrible smell, like dirty socks
The sunscreen smells almost exactly like dirty socks. The smell is overwhelming when you apply it, and it doesn't fade. I have no idea if it's spoiled or if this is the way they wanted it to smell, but it's really nasty.

Lightweight, gentle and effective sun screen
Very lightweight compared to most other mineral sunscreens I’ve tried. It blends very well and doesn’t feel heavy or greasy! Works great with my sensitive skin doesn’t cause any irritation or breakouts.

Sad we lost a staple
I’ve been using this sunscreen for years. They recently changed their formula in 2026 and now all their tinted sunscreens smell like cheese/feet. DO NOT BUY THIS SUNSCREEN ANYWHERE.

A Must for Mature Skin
I am a 55 yr old woman with fair/medium skin complexion with red little capillaries on my face (nose, cheeks, etc.). I have worn base makeup practically daily since 1984, trying virtually all brands. I have to say, that this makeup is truly unlike any other! So smooth, absorbant, gentle feeling. Does NOT accumulate in your wrinkle lines as with a base. You actually rub it in, versus having to apply a base carefully to not have streaks or uneven coverage. Creates an even skin tone, with a glowing result! No redness or dryness. Added bonus… SPF of 50! I have had two Moh’s procedures on my face for skin cancer. SO in-love with this product. If I could suggest anything to Laroche it would be to offer a darker tint for summertime.

Burns my eyes
Spreads well, no white cast, effective protection against the sun but the smell is very unpleasant and it burns my eyes, which surprises me for a mineral sunscreen. I won’t finish the bottle.

Best drugstore sunscreen
One of the best sunscreens at the drugstore. I have been using this for years and nothing beats this. It’s a milky consistency that just blends right in. It absorbs well and doesn’t feel greasy. It also doesn’t break me out!

White cast on dark skin
Th white cast is not as bad as some other mineral sunscreens but as a dark skin girl this white cast is so ugly it turns you blue. Should be fine for tan skin and white skin since its sheer but dark skin absolutely not. Also the smell is so disgusting

Amazing
It has helped me to hide my melasma spots and protect myself from the sun. I use it daily, and I can’t do without it in my lineup of favorite products plus, it also works as a base

Smells Spoiled/Rancid. Horrible!!
Smells HORRIBLE, like something spoiled or rotten. Others have had similar experiences, so hopefully it’s just part of the scent profile and not contamination. Won’t be repurchasing.

Horrible tint color!!
The color is horrible. Far too orange and not as smooth as the old formula. So disappointing.

Not for me
This left a white cast on my light olive skin, sucked up all of the moisturizer I had layered underneath, and had a stinky smell after rubbing it in. I’m not sure if I got a bad batch or this is typical. I love all of their other products.

My 1st sunscreen and won’t be the last
My favorite sunscreen during summer time! I personally love Korean sunscreens, but when it comes La Roche-posay, this sunscreen never fails to do its job. It’s a little bit runny but I find that’s easy for me to apply it evenly on my face. It doesn’t break out my skin either

It also layers well under makeup without pilling.
I recently tried the La Roche-Posay Anthelios Mineral Zinc Oxide Sunscreen SPF 50, and I am very impressed with its performance. The texture is lightweight and spreads easily without leaving a heavy or greasy feeling on the skin. I like that it provides broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection using mineral zinc oxide, which feels gentle and is ideal for sensitive skin.

Gentle, reliable sun protection for sensitive skin
I really like this La Roche- Posay sunscreen ☀️, specially for sensitive skin. I have it on tinted and normal, love them both. I don’t experience any breakouts after applying and feels lightweight. Blends smoothly and easy to reapply. Just love it !!!😍
