Can La Roche-Posay Anthelios 50 Mineral Ultra Light Sunscreen SPF 50, Untinted be use by MEN? Also, will this sunscreen leave my face oily?

No to oiliness. But it does have a sunscreen smell (though not stronger then any other product I've tried).

Hi Junior, this is a great sunscreen for men and women. I buy it for my husband. For myself I buy the tinted (with a touch of makeup), so make sure yours is not tinted :) which this one is not. My aesthetitician's husband uses this also, and I also use this on my 10 year old's face. A wonderful and respected product. My sister in law is a dermatologist, and the whole family uses this also. 50 is a great amount, you don't need more. Good luck.

i purchased the PM version which isn't a sun screen at all. i have since purchased the AM version. The box says SPF 30. "This product has been shown only to prevent sunburn, not skin cancer or early skin aging." (Nowhere does it say broad spectrum.)

I used to have oily skin (now I don't know. I am getting older). It is not written non comedogenic, but I couldn't notice more pimps or anything. My dermatologist said it is one of the best sun products in the market.

Nothing I can tell other than the packaging. In fact, the "sport" and "non-sport" are exactly the same in terms of consistency, longevity, protection (unless SPF is different). The product is thick and on the greasy side and not for under makeup. I wear it on my face and chest only. I use spray on Coppertone for the rest of the body.

The Mineral Veil doesn't have titanium dioxide in it, so no, it's not a sunscreen.(The allover face colors and eyeshadows all do, I think. However, the FDA requires that manufacturers test the actual finished product before they can label it "SPF XX", and the only ones that have undergone this redundant testing are the foundations, so BE can't legally label the others with an SPF even though titanium dioxide is in fact a sunscreen.)

I got Olay Total Effects, 7 in one, with a touch of foundation, which I love. But I think Olay may be phasing it out, as I could not find it on their web site. Mine does not have sunscreen.

I am not sure. I use this daily but if I am in the pool or going to be in the sun, I use a waterproof children's sunscreen. I try to get as little sun on my face as possible. I do like this is 50 SPF & it's lite and absorbs quickly. I also like that it's tinted & not white. I hope this helps!

I don't remember this product. I did note someone mentioned the product leaving their face somewhat white. If you are out in intense sun, you need a block that is more protective like this one. My favorite right now for everyday use is Eltamd UV Clear SPF 46.

I have not applied it to my face because my face is ultra sensitive!! I cant even wear sunscreen for faces only because it breaks me out. But,I could see where it would work great because it glides on so evenly and silky. Especially if you applied it with a facial moisturizer. You'd get subtle color immediately and a darker tan in several hours. Don't let the color or consistency freak you out when pumping it out of the bottle!!

Yes it is fine for men. I have been using it for two years and you don't have to worry about your face looking white. In fact I use a small quantity of zinc oxide and Cotz on top for double protection. I have fought skin cancer for thirty two years. My Dermatologist got me to use Cotz.

I agree with what Ms. Lis De La Marina said below. In my opinion, this is one of the best facial sunscreens out there for sensitive skin (or any skin type, really). Plus, it doesn't have all of the chemicals a lot of other sunscreens have, which is wonderful!

Definitely. I use it everyday under makeup. That's why I bought it, it has SPF 15, just don't expose your face more than 1-2 hours under the sun. You may get some ugly dark spots/scars, gruuuu

I probably wouldn't use it as an everyday facial sunscreen. Since its mineral based it creates a barrier on the skin rather than soaking in. Its not greasy per-se.

Not at all! this is one of the best sunscreen I ever used. At first it will leave a fade white film on your skin but it will disappear almost immediately, I do apply this little by little pea size portions over different areas of my face and neck until I cover the entire area. I use a light moisturizer before to apply this product because my skin is very dry but if your face is oily I will recommend you to use it by itself to try it first without moisturizer :) good luck!

The SPF 30 allows you to stay in the sun for 30 min. without burning as opposed to the 50 that allows for 50 minutes of sun. I don't know specifically about Rocky Mountain Sunscreen but most 50's don't seem to be any different but have more chemicals. If you have sensitive skin you might prefer the 30.

Hi, I have the product and I think the spf is low. You can buy other minerals to add to it if you want a higher spf. You can match it to any skin color. I do really love this product, and it will last you a year or 2.

Hi Karen I always have oily skin and never had a problem, but when it says ultra light ..it should be fine. When lotions are heavy ..they cause more breakages and stuff. Ultra light it safe...and this is the best Sunblock in my opinion. Manufactured in France ..not sure ..when it s form the US. I hope this was helpful
