Three moms give it the thumbs up.

We all know the importance of applying sunscreen. So when La Roche-Posay sent over some Anthelios XL 60 SPF sunscreen samples, we had our community members test it out. Here, the results:

Sugar Mama: Five hours after I applied it, I was still outside, still watching my sons¹ endless little league games and came home with no new freckles. This sunscreen felt smooth on my skin, and had a matte finish. You know when you get a perfectly smooth, light, frothy layer on top of a latte? It¹s like that. Plus, it didn't make me break out! Is it a must-have for moms? Not if they are going to take mine!

Lolli: The very first day I wore it. I forgot to put it on the back of my neck, and that area got burned, but the rest of my body was completely burn-free after several hours of wear (without reapplying)! It had a very nice finish, although after it was on for a while, it would flake off a little around creases (inside of elbow, for instance). But my favorite feature was that it was long-wearing ... you didn't have to keep reapplying over and over.

Mama of 3 Munchkins: I love how it doesn't feel like traditional lotion and goes on smoother and unlike other sunscreens it didn't take forever rubbing it into the skin. It's small enough to put in your handbag and diaper bag, and it's good for mom AND kids.

Do you wear sunscreen religiously? Do your kids? Comment below.

For years I have been buying this sunscreen in Europe— the only place it was sold until last year. It is awesome. It actually prevents freckles. I wear it every day on my face even in winter— can’t beat it.

I just bought this last week after too many breakouts from other sunblocks. I’ve been putting it on every morning and love it. I haven’t broken out and I love the smooth matte finish that feels like I have nothing on my face at all. I highly recommend it!
