Anthelios (2/17/2010)
I give credit to this product which I have used for the past 20 years for keeping my skin young. I use it instead of makeup. I use Aveda toner and then apply Anthelios. It keeps me from getting hyper pigmentation on my face and neck and I look at least 10 year younger than my years. There is a tinted version which I recommend as well.
Pros: It is perfect and you only need a dab each day.
Cons: I cannot think of any.

Pros: I like la Roche-Posay generally. I use their products.
Cons: Too rich and white on the skin
