There's only 2 reviews on Makeupalley and it seems to be really thick like toothpaste and leave a very noticeabe white cast on your face according to these reviews (which I do not like).
Anyone try it yet?

Also, has anyone ever tried this sunscreen?

There's only 1 review on it from Makeupalley and its bad but consumeresearch.com says its good

"We also found some good reviews for MD Skincare Powerful Sun Protection SPF 30 (*est. $36/5 ounces) , noted in reviews as an excellent broad-spectrum sunscreen that is loaded with antioxidants, including green tea, lycopene and vitamins A, C and E. Health Magazine calls it "the Cadillac of sunscreens," describing it as "weightless" and "fully loaded." It is available in packets, cream, lotion and lip balm."

Anyone have any opinions or tried the MDSkincare one?

Right now I'm using anthelios sx spf 15 but looking for something with higher spf.

LRP Anthelios SPF40 (US version)

Key Ingredients

• Mexoryl™ SX 3% protects against short UVA rays and is photostable on its own
• Octocrylene 10% protects against UVB rays
• Avobenzone 2% protects against long UVA rays and is stabilized by Octocrylene
• Titanium Dioxide 5% provides enhanced overall UVA and UVB protection

Since when is it possible to mix TiO2 + AVO in the US?

If you would like to have a higher SPF broad-spectrum sunscreen I would recommend you to order either
LRP Anthelios Fluid extreme SPF50+ (UVA 28; EU version) on the web or
Bioderma Photoderm Fluide SPF 50+ (SPF100, UVA 35; EU version) on the web.

Dear Jackie100,

Haven't (yet) (sigh) tried the US LRP Anthelios spf 40

After a couple of months of using and discarding many other sunscreens I second Eva Victoria's recommendations. Save yourself some USD$.

Bioderma Photoderm MAX Fluide 50+
LRP Anthelios XL Fluide Extreme 50+

I would also add Neutrogena Age Shield Face spf 55 (not the 70)

Best wishes,
Mia

I never bothered with the US versions as it was only slightly more expensive to purchase the euro versions containing Mexoryl XL and thus providing better UVA protection. If you stay with the Fluide the consistency isn't that bad, certainly nowhere near toothpaste. The creme or milk laite though were fairly thick. A moderate white cast much like the Neutrogena Age Shield Face 70 but with a much shinier appearance. Looks like you are sweating too, so unfortunately no matte finish.

The MDSkincare looks like they take the kitchen sink approach. While it looks good on paper, all the ingredients can inhibit absorption of one another and can in effect be worse than a product that moits the anti-ox portion and jsut focuses on being a sunscreen.

Anyone ever used this product before? Price shipped to the US seems pretty amazing for having both mexoryl XL and XS and 200ml size.
