This gives amazing protection (5 different sunscreen types - mexoryl XL and XS, titanium, octocrylene, and uh, one with quite a long name  for a very good price. 100 ml retails here for the price of Avene's 50 ml. If I'm outside for long periods, this is what I want on my face, no question. Still, it's not very practical for a daily sunscreen -- as most everyone has mentioned, it's shiny ("perfectly reflective surface" bwah!), though this can be toned down by mixing in mattifying sunscreen or foundation. In addition, it feels similar to A/BHA's, a mildly acidic tingling. If your skin tolerates exfoliants (mine doesn't), you probably won't have problems with this. Given the level of sun protection, I'd buy again for hiking or beach days. Here are the ingredients: Water, octocrylene, propylene glycol, glycerin, cyclopentasiloxane, titanium dioxide, butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane, drometrizole trisiloxane, terephthalylidene dicamphor sulfonic acid, triethanolamine,stearic acid, isopropyl palmitate, PVP/eicosene copolymer, dimethicone, acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer, aluminium hydroxide, carbomer, CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499, CI77891, disodium EDTA, glyceryl stearate, glycine soja, hydroxypropyl methylcellulosa, methylparaben, PEG-100 stearate, phenoxyethanol, propylparaben, stearyl alcohol, tocopherol, parfum, (F.I.L. C11264/1).
