This sunscreen has received mixed reviews. Guests appreciate its oil-absorbing properties, high SPF, and suitability for acne-prone skin. However, many have reported issues with pilling, white cast, and eye irritation. It works well under makeup for some, but others find it difficult to blend and drying. Overall, it seems to be a hit or miss depending on individual skin types and preferences.

Pastey and hard to spread. After blending and drying it pills so so badly. I tried putting it on before moisturizer, after moisturizer, no products underneath, no matter what it still was pilling horribly. For the price, I was very disappointed, will be returning. Only good thing I can say is that there is no greasy feeling.

Makes my eyes burn, does not feel like it’s suited for the face even though it is specifically branded as a face lotion. It made my skin feel extremely dry and made break outs often worse. It also had a white layer to it and didn’t get soaked in by my skin. I wasn’t able to layer makeup on top.

Decided to start a new routine and bought the full routine recommended for my skin type by the AI skin analysis tool. In the morning I apply the Vitamin C serum, followed by the Effaclar Mat daily moisturizer for oily skin and leave everything to dry for a few minutes. Great. Once I then apply the Athelios clear skin sunscreen, everything turns white and starts clumping together and peeling. I then have to rub off the clumps, essentially removing all the 3 layers from my face. Very frustrating and disappointing since I am used to using a moisturizer with sunscreen daily and just wasted money on this but will need to look for a different sunscreen that will actually blend well with the other two products.

Hello Nhingi202! We truly regret the pilling experience you're having with our Anthelios Clear Skin Oil Free Sunscreen when layered with your other products. We understand how frustrating this can be, especially when building a new routine. This "pilling" often occurs when products don't have enough time to fully absorb between applications or when certain ingredients react on the skin's surface. To help, we recommend allowing each product to dry completely before applying the next, and trying smaller amounts of each product with a gentle, patting motion. We hope these tips allow our sunscreen to integrate smoothly into your regimen, providing the protection you need.

This is the first sunscreen I have ever liked … I do not mind putting it on when I am going to be in the sun! My skin absorbs it well … my face is not greasy after using it and I honestly forget that I have it on! AND I make sure I ALWAYS pack it where ever I go … and that’s a first for me.

This sunscreen did not suit my skin. I have oily skin, its not too bad with oil control, but I did have issues with it pilling even when used alone or with other products. Also it did irritate my eyes. For those reasons I did not repurchase. Really hope they change their formulations here in the states, as I know oversees they have better formulations for those with oily skin and that don’t cause these issues. Especially for the price point, better quality needs to be delivered.

This is the BEST sunscreen I have ever used. I have oily skin, and I’ve never found a sunscreen that is anything other than a greasy mess on my face even if the label says oil free. This sunscreen is lightweight, matte finish, and almost a dry powdery feel after application. Great base under makeup. Did not pill up. Didnt burn my eyes. Very comfortable all day.

Hello Alterlight! Thank you for sharing your experience with our Anthelios Clear Skin Oil Free Sunscreen SPF 60. We truly appreciate your candid feedback. We are sorry to hear that you found the texture heavy, that it appeared greasy on your skin, and that it left a white cast, especially given your medium skin tone. Our Anthelios Clear Skin Oil Free Sunscreen is specifically formulated to provide broad-spectrum SPF 60 protection for oily and acne-prone skin types. Its "oil-free" nature means it is designed not to clog pores or contribute to breakouts, and it should typically absorb without a heavy or overly greasy feel. While this particular formula is not marketed as a mattifying sunscreen, it is designed to minimize shine and provide a clean finish. The appearance of a white cast can sometimes occur with sunscreens, and even with non-mineral formulations, proper blending and allowing the product to fully absorb can help. We value your insights as they help us continually understand how our products perform for our diverse community.

If this prevents anyone else from getting a severe allergic reaction, I have done this review its justice. At first applying this product felt very drying with some white casting. Then once in the lake water (I had waited the 15-30 minutes before swimming), I gently rubbed it off my face to check water resistance. It basically washed off a milky white residue. Then the burning occurred. My cheeks felt hot. After swimming for an hour and wearing the spf hat I always wear in the sun, I showered and washed my face with my regular products. My face felt irritated. And there was redness near my eyelids. Later on in the night, I washed my face again. Burning. I took a Benadryl before bed. I woke up this morning with a swollen face! Eyelids and cheeks! Puffy! More Benadryl today and hopefully not to the urgent care. This sunscreen is the problem. NOT SAFE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN. I will only use mineral sunscreen. Hope this review helps someone else who has skin sensitivities.
