Non irritating and gentle to the skin
Best for daily use (in summers too)
No harsh chemicals
Long lasting
Cons:
Leaves a white cast as its a heavy duty sunblock
May feel greasy for extremely oily skin
Beauty Stars:
4/5
Price:
USD 22.00 (1.4 ounce tube)
One more variation comes in this with SPF 25
Do not use a lot. Less goes more for this one or it may look oily.
This has definitely become one of my best sunscreen which lasts whole day even on a 10 hour picnic or beach day .
Once a little bit of this fell into my eyes but amazingly it did not irritate my eyes at all. I washed it with water thereafter. Its a very gentle sunscreen with great SPF.
