Usually around $32 each from Chemist Warehouse. One of the best premium sunscreens as recommended by skincare geeks on the internet

LRP Invisible Fluid is $24.99 ($22.49 S&S)

Also a great deal on La Roche-Posay Anthelios XL Dry Touch SPF50+ Facial Sunscreen (untinted), same price

Shipped from and sold by Amazon.

The tinted version of Anthelios XL is also on sale at Amazon but it's being sold by a third party, so I would suspect that it's safer to get it from Chemist Warehouse, where most of the LRP sunscreen range is also on sale for the same price, minus the S&S discount.

I just bought 6 tubes, because my partner likes her sunscreen dry.

I forgot Cashrewards when I ordered, but I am informed there's a 3.5% cashback on Luxury Beauty. I hope to lead you to a discount I can no longer obtain.

      Depends on your skin type. I have very dry skin and my favourite is the Le Tans facial fluid. Wasted money on about 5 different sunscreens before I found my holy grail. Although the pink cancer council day wear spf50 is an all rounder for all skin types.

    Just be careful of counterfeit products when purchasing that you don't accidentally buy from non-Amazon/3rd party stores. Not sure where they'll source it from but make sure you compare and return if not the same quality.

    I'll be getting it from ChWh this time around to save hassle since price is comparable.

    • Harold Halfprice on 04/09/2023 - 16:08

      Are the ones sold by Amazon even guaranteed to be genuine?

      I thought the issue with Amazon was they pool all stock with the same SKU, regardless of whether it's a 3rd party or "Sold by Amazon"

      So you could be buying something "Sold by Amazon" but what you get sent it a counterfeit that a 3rd party seller sent in.

      That was my understanding, unless things are different now.

          Right at the top of the Amazon link, from the Reddit thread it says:

          This article applies to selling in: United States

          Co-mingling stock is definitely a thing. Maybe they've stopped it for Skincare/Cosmetics but it seems unknown whether they've implemented that in Australia as well.

          I recently bought a few La Roche Possay products from Amazon during Prime Day. Sold and Fulfilled by Amazon. I don't know if they were fake or not - but they made me break out really badly. It wasn't just normal purging either.

            • Harold Halfprice on 04/09/2023 - 17:18

              @Save Medicare: First time using LRP. I've used similar products/ingredients from different brands that have been fine. But never LRP.

              So it could be that my skin had a reaction specifically to the LRP products, or could be that I was sent fakes. I have no idea…

              But knowing that there are fakes on Amazon doesn't particularly inspire confidence. I actually just contacted Amazon and they agreed to let me return them, which was an easy process at least.

    I had a sample size of this from the family doctor but I really didn't like the feel of it, it is way too dry and hard to spread out. Suggest to try the Japanese or Korean suncscreen especially the facial ones, they are light and way better to spread out and much more pleasant to wear on your face.

        Beauty of joseon uses good broad spectrum chemical filters (some of the same used in anthelios) but is a lighter formulation. It’s one of the rare Korean sunscreens that’s had it’s UV protection level independently lab certified too.

    • BepisCola on 04/09/2023 - 11:42

      they are also way less effective at blocking UV If you’re talking about imported sunscreens - they aren’t properly tested to the same regulations as sunscreens sold here. If you look up consumer tests of a lot of those sunscreens some of them don’t even meet like 50% of the SPF labelled on the bottle. LRP on the other hand is excellent and has one of the highest levels of UVA protection you can buy in a sunscreen.

          Several different factors to consider. Same sun but different ozone layer above us. We also have a harsher climate and more extreme UV levels.

          Sunscreen from overseas are not as tightly regulated and tested compared to sunscreen sold here that have registration numbers on the product.

    • epicttiimm on 04/09/2023 - 12:54

      It’s a trade off for sure - Jap/Kor sunscreens generally sit way better on my face and don’t break me out or cause irritation.

      I do find they are less effective, but for someone like me which sits in an office 8 hours a day, it’ll be just fine for the walk from the carpark to the office. The best sunscreen is the one you’ll consistently wear - I hated wearing some of the Aussie ones because they’d irritate my skin.

      If I’m at the beach - Cancer Council sunscreens for sure.

    There is so much fake stuff from Amazon…even sold by Amazon itself. Supposedly, all the stock gets bundled or co-mingled together regardless of who is selling the stock and they ship it from the pool of same products. Therefore it could be a combination of fake and real - just a lucky dip.

      I don't think Amazon would want to fund the resources required to check where store owners are receiving their stock from.

      Unfortunately, anyone can have a store on Amazon, shipped by Amazon and you have no idea where they're buying that stock from right? I would say most of them are looking to buy it from the cheapest source so unless it directly comes from the companies Amazon page, you have no idea if it's legit or not.

      I assume if there is multiple and multiple complaints about fake product, the risk for that amazon store owner is is that Amazon will hold their funds and also hold their product. So it's not a great idea to sell counterfeit on amazon because they will do those things.

      Try this vs "normal" sunscreen and you can feel the difference. A daily sunscreen is important (well definitely to me) and only good if worn….for me that having something that doesn't feel oily or caked on…..this is great.

      My dad worked on the rails so lots of outdoor exposure and is now having skin cancers cut out to ensure they don't take hold real proper.

      So get whatever you like to wear at the price you want to pay….whether it's from ALDI or some French sounding company….the main thing is to wear something, if you're going to be outside. I've tried a couple of brand and this is by far the best to ensure I'm protected every day.

    These (much) cheaper alternatives are also very reputable and get good reviews from AusSkincare communities :~)

    They stretch for a long time if you’re just getting your face/neck with these, and use a generic 50+ sunscreen for the rest of the body.

          Note that some sunscreens in the Australian and NZ markets also fail SPF testing. source. Not great, but it happens.

          The Korean Purito sunscreen that famously failed to meet SPF claims was relying on AMA laboratories in the US to test their sunscreens. It turned out that AMA labs was falsifying results, and even Australian brands like Ego Pharmaceuticals and Sukin were caught out.

          Korean sunscreens where Kolmar is the manufacturer should be pretty solid in terms of reliability.

      The last 2 are for different skin types;
