Today's review will be for the La Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra Light Sunscreen Fluid
Availability: This retails at $30.99 for 1.7 fl. oz. (50 mL) and can be purchased at walgreens.com, cvs.com, ulta.com, walmart.com, target.com and bluemercury.com along with their physical store locations; it is also available at dermstore.com and laroche-posay.us.
Would I buy this?: I doubt it.

Does it contain any special/beneficial ingredients?
Again, according to kohls.com:
Avobenzone 3% (sunscreen), Homosalate 10.72% (sunscreen), Octisalate 3.21% (sunscreen), Octocrylene 6% (sunscreen), Oxybenzone 3.86% (sunscreen)
What is the texture like?

This feels thin, lightweight, and runny.
Is it scented?
This has an unscented type scent to it, if that makes sense.
My overall experience/comments on the product:
I'll be honest with you all, I know that technically SPF and moisturizer are two separate categories and not all SPF is meant to be used to double as a daytime moisturize. That being said, I test SPF this way because truth be told, I'm too lazy to do two separate steps and I know it's literally like 30 seconds for each step, I know, but if I find something that does a great job hydrating the skin and has SPF in it I'm a happy gal. So with all that being said, I find that this doesn't really provide much in the way of hydration - it's super lightweight though and I think it would be fantastic for someone who's skin is oily. It also creates a bit of a white casting on the skin, so be aware.
Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
