Rancid smell
Smells horrid. We use the tinted one usually. So disappointed. I bought this clear one, so we wouldn’t get stains on my son’s clothes. But, he refused to use it due to the awful smell.

Not it
Yes this sunscreen was lightweight but it definitely leaves a white cast and the smell is nasty.

Hi Hailey! Thank you for sharing your feedback on our Anthelios Ultra-Light Fluid Mineral Face Sunscreen. We are glad to hear you enjoyed the lightweight texture, but we are very sorry that the white cast and scent did not work for you. Since this is a 100% mineral formula with zinc oxide, warming a small amount between your fingertips and blending it thoroughly in thin layers can help minimize the white cast. If you prefer a completely sheer finish, we encourage you to explore our invisible chemical sunscreens. We have shared your comments with our team and hope we can help you find the perfect sun protection for your routine.

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.

Hello YourMom. Thank you for sharing your experience with La Roche Posay Anthelios Ultra-Light Fluid Mineral Face Sunscreen with Zinc Oxide – SPF 50 - 1.7 fl oz: Oxybenzone-Free, Unscented. This is a common observation as this product contains zinc oxide. Zinc oxide has a naturally metallic, chalky, or clay-like odor. Because this is a very lightweight "fluid" formula, these physical minerals are highly suspended, making their metallic profile more noticeable. We do not use artificial fragrance to mask the effects of this active ingredient. We appreciate you taking the time to reach out and we hope you will continue to use our products!

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.

Hello cenmad. Thank you for sharing your experience with La Roche Posay Anthelios Ultra-Light Fluid Mineral Face Sunscreen with Zinc Oxide – SPF 50 - 1.7 fl oz: Oxybenzone-Free, Unscented. This formula contains 6% Titanium Dioxide and 5% Zinc Oxide, this high density of minerals can often have a clay like or "earthy smell to it" we do not use artificial fragrance to mask the naturally occurring scent of this product. Because the fluid is so thin, the scent molecules evaporate very rapidly. Unlike creams, the scent of this fluid typically disappears within 1 to 2 minutes of being rubbed onto your skin. We hope this information has been helpful. Thank you for trying La Roche Posay!

necessary
I recently tried the Anthelios Mineral Zinc Oxide Sunscreen SPF 50, and it was an impressive experience. The formula is lightweight and blends effortlessly into the skin without leaving a whitecast, which is often a concern with mineral sunscreens. It provided excellent protection against harmful UV rays, and my skin felt comfortable throughout the day. I appreciated that it’s suitable for sensitive skin and doesn't cause breakouts. The subtle finish left my complexion looking healthy rather than greasy. I also loved that it's water-resistant, making it perfect for outdoor activities. Overall, I highly recommend Anthelios Mineral Sunscreen for anyone seeking effective sun protection with a gentle, non-irritating formula. It’s now a staple in my skincare routine!

In love.
I love it, it’s one of the best sunscreen I’ve ever used in my life. I love the feeling it leaves on my skin and how smooth in makes your skin for applying makeup afterward.

The best protection for our skin
I recently tried the La Roche-Posay sunscreen and was pleasantly surprised by the results. Its texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly, without leaving a greasy feeling on the skin. It is ideal for daily use, even under makeup. I noticed that it provides excellent protection against UV rays, preventing my skin from becoming red or feeling irritated after sun exposure. Furthermore, it did not cause breakouts or clog my pores, making it perfect for sensitive or combination skin.

Lightweight SPF with great protection but slightly shiny on oily skin.
I’ve been testing this sunscreen for a couple of weeks and the protection is really good. It feels lightweight on the skin and doesn’t leave a strong white cast, which I love. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars is because it can look a little shiny on oily skin by the end of the day. Other than that, it’s a really solid SPF for everyday use.

It provides excellent coverage, has great durability under the sun, and is easy to remove at the end of the day without feeling greasy."

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.
