The first thing that I prepare before my summer trip every year is sun protection! The face sunscreen that I used for this summer is La Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra-Light Invisible Fluid SPF50+.
I am not a person who is sensitive to the sun but vice versa to my husband. I have to be sure that the sunscreen I will take has a high protection to protect him from a burn.
Anthelios Ultra-Light Invisible Fluid SPF50+

How to use
It is a fluid texture, shake well before use. After that, apply it on the face or body 30 minutes before going to the beach, pool, or outdoor activity. I put it directly on my face and use my finger to blend it. Repeat it every 2 hours to maintain protection.
Active/Benefits
Broad, photostable UVA, UVB, and Infrared protection. Optimal SPF 50+ protection reinforced against UVA rays (PPD 46, stricter than the European recommendation). Ultra water, sweat, and sand resistance.
I will not explain label meaning and how it works in this post. You can read from here. They wrote about it very clear and easy to understand!
How is my feeling after using it?
I have combination skin and I fell in love with this liquidy texture. It is easy to apply and absorbs quickly onto the skin. No greasy! After applying Anthelios Ultra-Light Invisible Fluid SPF50+, I feel my face soft and smooth. Non-sticky at all!
The hard thing about using this sunscreen is controlling the right amount. You need to drop it carefully, especially if you put it directly on the face (same as I do).
The packaging is compact and lightweight (50ml). I feel comfortable carrying it everywhere.
But as I said, I only use it for the face. I have another sunscreen product that I use for the body. It is La Roche-Posay Anthelios Hydrating Body Lotion SPF50+. If the Anthelios Invisible Fluid is best for the face, Anthelios Hydrating Body Lotion is best for the body as well!
Sun Protection
When I get burned, I will not be red or feel pain is like white people. My skin will be very dark. After a week, it will dry and peel off. That is how I burned. Anthelios Invisible Fluid SPF50+ did his job. I got darker skin shade but not burn, no peel-off skin after the trip.
My husband is white and has sensitive skin. I saw his face a bit red even he apply it every 2 hours. But he did not get pain or feel hot on his skin. So I can say it works very well with sensitive skin.
