La Roche-Posay Anthelios SPF50+ Review
The Quick Take
This is the sunscreen that converted thousands of blokes who thought SPF was "just for holidays". The invisible fluid disappears on skin, doesn't feel greasy, and provides genuinely excellent broad-spectrum protection.
What We Like
- Truly invisible on skin — no white cast, no greasiness
- Ultra-high protection (SPF50+ with UVA/UVB coverage)
- Lightweight enough to wear under moisturiser daily
- Works well under makeup or on its own
What We Don't
- 50ml bottle runs out fast if you're using it daily
- Slight alcohol scent on application (disappears quickly)
- Not the cheapest SPF at £18 for 50ml
Who's It For?
Every man who goes outside. Seriously. If you're doing even basic skincare, SPF is the single most effective anti-ageing product you can use. This particular one suits all skin types and doesn't make you look like you've been at the face paint.
The Verdict
There's a reason dermatologists recommend this one constantly. It does everything a daily sunscreen should — protects properly, feels like nothing on your face, and doesn't interfere with the rest of your routine. The small bottle and price are the only minor gripes. If you buy one skincare product this year, make it this.
