Community reality check
What shoppers
noticed.
One enthusiastic take and one critical take, so the consensus never reads cleaner than it really is.
“The tinted Anthelios is my go to sunscreen for summer. It is light, easy to apply, and dries quickly to a soft matte finish. There is no white cast, no discernible sunscreen odor. It softens facial imperfections without the weigh down of makeup. It just leaves a natural fresh look. My skin but better.”
“It is a fine sunscreen. But the question is does it worth that amount of money? The answer is NO. I won't buy it again unless it comes down to a lower price. It does not do anything special. It only glides nicely on skin and is light. Nothing else.”
