16 Best and Worst Sunscreens
-
Incredible.
Normally I had been using Clarins UV Plus Day Screen SPF 40 prior to my latest appointment with my dermatologist. I like that it was a thinner fluid sunscreen because it went on my face easier. However, it was a hit or miss whether it would cause breakouts or not depending on how frequently I've been using this. SO, the nurse assistant actually hooked me up with a few sample tubes of this sunscree...read moren and WOW!! I'm impressed. Apparently it has a lot of things that people find questionable putting on their skin, but I'm surprised I haven't had a breakout using this, even when I have EXTREMELY sensitive skin, plus rosacea and eczema. This also lightly hydrates too. Since I have very dry skin, most moisturizers tend to be too light for me and thicker creams cause me to break out, so this is a good small added hydration on top of my moisturizer. I like that this absorbs just as well as the Clarins, and you're going to have to shake it verrrry well prior to pouring it out. This stuff is much cheaper than Clarins (Anthelios costs about $30 whereas Clarins costs $38 for the same fluid volume). However, it's a little harder to get as opposed to Clarins; you either have to order it online or buy it at the Pharmacy counter at Walgreens or CVS (you don't need a prescription but your dermatologist can prescribe it to you). Like the Clarins, it's going to leave a slight white veil over your face, but at least this leaves a matte finish. It's suitable to wear under make up, but like any sunscreens, you're going to need oil blotting sheets or a little powder after a few hours. My skin feels very comfortable outside in the sun, I don't feel any burning at all and this is under the strong Arizona sun that will only get stronger as the summer approaches. Yes, it's a small bottle (1.7 oz) for $30 (your doctor may give you coupons) OR you can find it for a few dollars cheaper online (don't know about the freshness or the reliability of the seller). Give this a try! It's a no brainer that sun protection is a must!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 12 of 14 people said helpful

I've started multiple friends on this
Over the years, I struggled to find a sunscreen that didn't feel thick and greasy. This one is the answer! It is light, smooth and soaks into the skin. It actually makes the perfect primer to use before makeup. I have started multiple friends and family members on this who all continue to use it. I recommend this!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 10 of 12 people said helpful

La-Roche Posay's best product
This is my favorite face sunscreen, it goes on nice and light and I don't feel it (I don't like how chemical sunscreen feels on my face!) It carries well in my purse - I have put this through some extreme use, at the lake and all day on the back of a motorcycle - and it is easy to reapply, even when my face is sweaty. I will buy again, as soon as I can afford to...This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 7 of 10 people said helpful
