"La Roche-Posay has a melting milk sunscreen that I really like. It comes in a large, voluminous bottle, so you get the value you need out of it. Really any body sunscreen is going to do great here, but this is one of my go-to options for sun protection on the body."

Skincare QnA and Chill

"Bondi Sands and La Roche-Posay Anthelios Melt-in Milk Sunscreen SPF 60 would be a really good combo actually. [...] There are so many good sunscreens out right now, it is unreal, whether it's mineral, American, European, Korean. I've probably got four or five now, pure non-tinted mineral sunscreens that blend, it's crazy, and they're non-nano zinc. I'm not sure what's changed in terms of formulation, but I'm just quite happy with how sunscreen has evolved over the last years."

Product We LOVE and HATE from La Roche-Posay | Doctorly Reviews

"One that I really love is the Melt-in Milk 60. This is good for the body and the face. What I like is that it comes in a really large bottle, for people who want to use it on the body and the face seriously, because a lot of times you get a small bottle and you're definitely not going to be using that on the body and the face. So this is more affordable, larger size, blends in really well, it's a chemical sunscreen, fragrance-free. A product that I really love."

"If you want to use chemical sunscreen but you want to completely avoid oxybenzone, I hands down love love love La Roche-Posay Anthelios Melt-in Milk SPF 60. It has no oxybenzone, it has no octinoxate. It uses avobenzone, homosalate is at 10%. It also has octisalate and octocrylene. It's one of the best performing body sunscreens in consumer report testing. It has elegant texture and it's widely available. This is one of my personal and family's go-to sunscreens."

It's got beta glucan and then it's also got the argireline, botox in a bottle peptide. Lovely, no scent, totally invisible, great, feels nice on your skin. Highly, highly recommend this sunscreen. It's amazing."

"The La Roche-Posay Anthelios Melt-in Milk SPF 60 is really one of my go-tos, especially for the summer time because I love how fast absorbing and lightweight it is and the higher SPF and water resistant nature. You're getting great broadspectrum coverage along with antioxidant. It is a chemical filter, but I've never had any issues. It does have glycerin that's hydrating. I would say with this texture, I do find it more suitable for those that have oily and combination skin."

"This is my personal absolute favorite sunscreen to use during the summer time. [...] This is such an elegant product and I love it for so many different reasons. Number one you can use it on face and body so like one-stop shop. Two it offers high SPF, so SPF 60. Normally I do recommend a little bit higher than 30 for like outdoor use. It is water resistant up to 80 minutes."

"This is just such a nice elegant fast absorbing non greasy nonsticky it literally feels like you put nothing on your skin especially on body and I'm very picky because I hate that sticky feeling when it's hot and humid outside already and having that sunscreen feeling that way on my body this one will give you none of that. It's got elegant chemical filters and it gives you high protection SPF 60 which is great for summer."

"This is a great, lovely lightweight moisturizer. Literally, this is probably my go-to. It's also water resistant for up to 80 minutes. I love this for myself for my face and body in the summertime. It's so lightweight that after you put it on you really don't feel like you put anything on. I really don't like that sticky feeling in the summertime when it's hot and humid, so this sunscreen not only will give you great protection but it feels like you're really not wearing much at all."

Drugstore SPFs

"It's really my go-to for the summer time because it's so multifunctional in the sense it's great for face and body, non-comedogenic, suitable for all skin types, even acne and oily skin. And you can use it on the whole family too. I love the fact that it is higher SPF 60 to 100, so more suitable for summertime when it's hot outside, stronger, longer UV rays as well as the water resistant nature, up to 80 minutes."

"I believe they still make the 100% one too, like SPF 100, which is even better. But this is really my honest go-to when I'm outside in the summer time for face and body. Even though it's a body sunscreen, you can actually use it on your face. And that's what I do just to make it easier because it's hydrating, it's elegant, and most importantly for me for the body is it absorbs really quickly. I honestly hate wearing sunscreen on my body. I hate that sticky feeling."

"The La Roche-Posay Anthelios Melt-in Milk Sunscreen has been a long-standing favorite. It's actually marketed for both face and body. It works really well on the face, especially if you're someone who has more oily, acne prone skin. No alcohol in it. It has panthenol, a B vitamin that's very moisturizing. It's got silica to help with kind of oiliness and shine. It also has dimethicone which helps it to be lightweight and breathable."

"Finished the L Ro POS melted sunscreen milk"

Sunscreens I ACTUALLY USED UP

"It's free of fragrance, doesn't have anything special in the ingredient list, it's a chemical sunscreen, there's no white cast. The SPF 60 is great because based on how dense people apply sunscreen, they don't apply it [...] the way it's tested, which is pretty thick. So when you use a higher SPF you are more likely to get to like SPF 30 and above as opposed to if you rely on SPF 30 you're probably getting maybe more along the lines of SPF 15 or 10."

"I wanted to get a sunscreen I really like because of its efficacy and lightweight texture, the Anthelios Melt-in Milk sunscreen from La Roche-Posay. This is an SPF 60 sunscreen, so I don't have to worry so much about whether you're putting on enough of it, because even a thin layer of an SPF 60 is probably still getting pretty decent coverage. It does have just a touch of a sunscreen smell but it's not bad, it's not going to leave a white cast, and it's going to provide excellent protection."

"What I love is that it's water resistant and is very lightweight. So, no white cast with this. Blends in quickly. Water resistant's good because if you're going to go for a run, work out outside, do some water sports, you want to use a water resistant sunscreen. And the bottom here is 80 minute water resistant grade. So every 80 minutes you should be reapplying your sunscreen when you're outdoors. You can tell this is good for body and face and blends in very well without that white cast."

"It's the La Roche-Posay SPF 60 Anthelios Melt-in Milk Sunscreen.

"It also has drying alcohol in it, which a lot of people like to avoid. I think in sunscreens in small quantities it's fine, but it's quite high up the ingredients list, which makes me a bit worried. The [...] first couple of uses felt great, alcohol in sunscreens helps it [...] feel more lightweight on the skin because it absorbs, it evaporates off the skin and helps it sink in quicker, and I loved it, I was like this sunscreen is everything, it's amazing."

"This is a very popular sunscreen, it's been around for several years. It's made by La Roche-Posay, SPF 60, 80 minute water resistance, so this is a great face and body sunscreen. It doesn't bother me on my face but I do avoid my eye area. It says it's been tested for sensitive skin but I do keep this away from my eyes and use something else on my eye area when I use this. But this is a great sunscreen all around for the entire family, face and body sunscreen."
