Not proven effective against UV-A,
This version of “Anthelios” does not contain mexoryl, which is the most effective UV-A blocking agent. Don’t buy this version of “Anthelios;” instead, look at the other Anthelios products that DO contain mexoryl. If you want a non-mexoryl sunscreen (which I don’t recommend, since they are less effective against UV-A), then go with the Neutrogena productd that contain “helioplex,” The lower SPF “dry touch” versions are reasonably effective, feel better on the skin than any other sunscreen I’ve tried, and are way cheaper than this product.
Having said that, the mexoryl-based sunscreens are more effective than the Neutrogena, so are probably worth the extra cost. Bear in mind that UV-A causes cancer, but not sunburn. A sunscreen that protects against sunburn, is not an effective anti-cancer agent unless it also protects against UV-A. Most sunscreens that claim UV-A protection only provided it for half an hour or so. Mexoryl, on the other hand, lasts several hours.

|So happy I don’t have to import this from Europe!,
I have been using the “Anthelios Fluide Extreme” for years after discovering it in Paris, either picking it up when I traveled to the EU or importing at ridiculous cost. Annoying and expensive, but it’s simply the best sunscreen out there for daily use — light, easy to use, lasts all day, plus cuts out the need for morning moisturizer.
What a delight to find that they have found a US importer! The US formula is slightly different, and I think a bit better, as it leave my skin more matte. However, now that it is winter, I find the formula dries me out a bit, so I will either import the slightly greasier EU formula or try one of the other Anthelios products available here.
One complaint — no mexoryl in this one (their press releases are very specific about this.) I can’t find out anything about what “cell-ox” actually is. But I do trust that there’s some UVA protection.

|Best sunscreen ever so sensitive skin,
I got this product because I have rosacea and very sensitive skin, everytime I try skin products my face gets really irritated speccially when I use sunscreen, but that is the one thing I never left home without, I live in Fl and is always really hot and sunny, to leave the house without sunscreen is a big mistake for my skin, but I never found a good sunscreen that would suit my needs. When I first got it in the mail I remember thinking that is a little expensive considering how small it is, but is worth every penny, I will defenitly keep buying it time and time again, I use it after moisturizing in my face and the results are incredible, its not pasty or oily, is just perfect.
