I bought this at a cosmetics pharmacy. La Roche-Posay is not expensive in Europe. (There was even a 10% discount just because the product will expire in January 2010). I thought I'd give it a try.
It took me an hour to find this product, because I was studying every option on the shelves (I am a bit like this with everything, a bit like Sally in When Harry Meets Sally).
It says "gel" but it's not. It comes out like a cream, and goes on a tiny bit oily over the skin. But hang in there. 15 to 20 mins after application, you will be ready to apply makeup.
Preservatives-free, fragrance-free. It's worth the wait.
You can see here the product is creamy white. The 100ml tube is convenient whether in your beach bag or on your vanity table :-)
After more than a week of use, I can say that I'm very happy with this product. Since I usually just use concealer and powder, I use this as a makeup base and it works wonderfully.
My trick is dust a layer of Make Up For Ever HD powder all over after applying the sunscreen. This provides a smooth surface for my loose powder to sit on. My powder and blush stay put all day. Not oily whatsoever.
(If my skin happens to be dry on a random day, I'd mist some Avène spring water to set the makeup.)
A dime-sized amount is enough for my face and neck. I've found my HG sunscreen and makeup base!

Wow~ I wanna check this out now! Too bad I'm eternally scarred on drugstore makeup shopping! :/ I went to return some of the drugstore stuff that didn't work for me, and the lady was SO UNWILLING, hahahaha.
