Specifically enquiring about La Roche Posay and Bioderma brands - the max and XL versions of these sunscreens have bigger (and more economical!) versions for the body - are these of the same consistency etc?

I'm wondering whether it would be better to just buy a body version and use for my face since the SPF/PPD appears to be the same...

Has anyone used both face and body versions of either of these?

Been wondering about the same thing... Went for the face edition for the face though, just in case.

Mowgli, good question. Bet there isn't much difference. I am interested to see what some of the board says. Thanks for asking!

I have used the giant 400 mL spray bottle of Bioderma (40 SPF 28? PPD).) It was fine on face for me. But I'm not at all sensitive.
