I Used La Roche-Posay Sunscreen Again and It Now Burns My Face with Strong Perfume Smell

I recently bought La Roche-Posay sunscreen from a pharmacy in my city—a product I’ve trusted and used in the past without any issues. Since it had worked well for my skin before, I decided to return to it after a long break. But something is clearly different now. The moment I opened the cap, I was hit with a strong perfume scent, which wasn’t there in previous versions. As soon as I applied it to my face, I felt a burning sensation, followed by noticeable redness. It seems like the formula has changed, possibly with a much higher fragrance content. I don’t understand why a brand known for sensitive skin would add so much fragrance. I’d like clear information on what has changed in the ingredients. I’m disappointed and may have to switch brands again. La Roche-Posay, please explain what’s going on and address this serious issue with your sunscreen formula.

My cheeks are bright red, and no matter what I do—moisturizing, applying sunscreen—the redness won’t go away. I bought this product from a phar...

257 I purchased a La Roche-Posay sunscreen from a pharmacy, but I’m now questioning whether it’s actually authentic. I’ve been using the same product for the past three years, so I know what it should smell and feel like. This one has a strong, cologne-like scent, which is unusual and not what I’m used ...
I’ve been a loyal user of La Roche-Posay sunscreen for years and have always trusted the brand. However, this time—even though I purchased it from a pharmacy and even exchanged it once—the product has a strong, unpleasant smell, almost as if it’s spoiled or expired. The odor is so bad that even my ...
