Product Description
Anthelios SX is a light, non-greasy, fragrance-free daily use moisturizer with sunscreen that combines Parsol 1789 (avobenzone) and an innovative ingredient, Mexoryl SX (ecamsule) to help provide UVA protection. It is allergy-tested, PABA-free, suitable for sensitive skin and offers 24-hour hydration. Anthelios SX has complete broad spectrum protection. Anthelios SX contains MEXORYL™ SX, the most effective FDA-approved organic filter designed to protect against short UVA rays (maximum absorption at 344nm) with high photostability, a key factor in sunscreen protection efficacy. This high photostability means the sunscreen will maintain a higher UVA protective ability longer and not degrade as quickly as other FDA approved UVA filters when exposed to the sun.

I have dry skin, and this works perfectly as a daily moisturizer. It even removes a step from my routine (before I would apply moisturizer then sunscreen, this is effectively both). It doesn't melt into my mouth.
It does make my face shiny --there's no getting around it- but that doesn't bother me.
My mother hates the gunky texture of the SPF 15, and she uses the SPF 50 "fluide extreme" which is a drier formula, over a moisturizer. She warns that you have to let your moisturizer fully absorb before applying the sunscreen or else it all pills up and rubs off your face like eraser sweepings.

My doctor recommended this product as a better means to keep from getting sun damage. He was right. I've tried many products, but most fell short of expectations. They either didn't last long or left my head feeling like it had survived the Exxon Valdiz spill. This is a great product that doesn't leave your face and head (I shave my head, so protection from the sun is very important) feeling greasy. I've even got my wife using it.

I received the product quickly and without incident.

Product Description
Fallene Total Block Clear SPF 65 is a highly effective sunscreen product formulated with photo-protective and cellular-protective agents that are beneficial to the skin. Total Block is unique in its ability to protect skin from the full light spectrum and prevent cellular environmental damage to the skin, regardless of the source of the pollutants. Incorporating eight forms of mill-dispersed solids -- ranging in controlled particle size from 10 microns down to a few nanometers -- Total Block achieves maximum protection throughout the entire UVB and UVA range. These particles are homogeneously suspended and work to shield the skin from atmospheric damage and trauma. Micronized and sub-micronized particles of titanium dioxide, sub-micronized zinc oxide, and ultra-micronized iron oxide form the foundation of this powerful, effective sunscreen.

A friend turned me onto this product and overall, I like it. Only four stars because my face feels dry after application, and the price is high. The Amazon subscribe and save helps you save more. It's worth the money if you want a sunblock/skin concealer/foundation in one. It comes with a darker pigment, so you can match up your coloring. It's the only product of it's type, which is why it's a bit pricey.

This is to be used for serious sun exposure where protecting yourself is more important than a slight white layer on your skin. I kayak every week and I am under the sun for 3 to 5 hours. I know this works because I forgot to apply this on my hands and they were the only part of my body that tanned and burned. Yes, there is a light white shade. Big deal. Also, this isn't meant to go on your face as well, not matter what anyone says. They have another product that is meant for sensitive skin that doesn't have a noticeable white shade.

I just got back from a whole day of Kayaking under very intense sun here in Newport Beach, CA. I didn't even have a noticeable tan. Since I was paddling the whole time, I didn't have a chance to reapply it. Since there is a slight white shade, I could still see it on my skin even with water splashing on me.

I still recommend using a hat and long sleeve rash guard with SPF if you intend to stay under the sun for a long time, but if you cannot, this is the next best choice.

I have suffered from PMLE (extreme photosensitivity) since I was a kid and none of the sunscreens (AVENO, Neutrogena) really worked for me as I would still get hives all over my face once I'm in the sun for more than 10mins. Hats don't really work either. However, once I switched over to Fallene Cotz SPF 58 two years ago (I currently live in sunny California where the UV is extremely high months on end), I haven't had a single hives-break-out session. Yes it doesn't dry completely clear but who cares? No sunscreen is perfect (and I have tried MANY brands). Just put it on after you're dressed and you're fine.

I've been using this on my face daily for about four years. Once on it is dry to the touch, a bit visible at first but then seems to soak in. It has a coloring agent in it to make it less visible on skin, and that agent will rub off on clothing and even stain light-colored clothes, so I don't use it for anything below my face. I like that it blocks the sun only physically, without the chemicals that sting and redden my skin. I also use the lip version of this product.

I was looking for a safe, effective sunsreen for my trip to Southeast Asia this summer. Here are what I think are the strengths and weaknesses for this product
Strengths:
1, Many non-chemical sunscreens actually fail to live up to their SPF, but I do think it successfully protected my skin in the worst UV environment. (But I also used hats and such)
2, It is relatively safe for my skin. It didn't make my skin break out.

Weaknesses:
1, THE greasiest sunscreen I ever experienced. It's ok when you're out hiking or at the beach, but when I went out to see friends, they often commented on how much I was "sweating." When I really did sweat, it made the cream turn white and visible (dotty on my face).
2, As it's noted on Skin Deep Cosmetic safety database, it's not perfectly safe. While I didn't have any breakouts, my face (not my body) got itchy wearing this. But I was able to get around it by putting on a moisturizer before applying this.
3, It's pretty tough to wash off. Though it's not waterproof, after I washed my body I could still smell it and see it on my skin (showing up white especially in wrinkly area).

Despite the problems, I think I might use it again next summer (at least on my body) because I haven't been able to find a better safe, high SPF sunscreen. Other ones don't make my face shiny but make my face look all white.

My dermatologist told me to use Vanicream or Neutrogena for my melasma. Neutrogena stings like crazy after using an exfoliator or Retin-A. Vanicream feels like a dream. I have never had any tanning or darkening of spots when I have it on. I have normal to oily skin and it doesn't make me break out. It is a little oily, but only if you lay it on too thick. If you want a matte finish to your face, that's what face powder was made for!
