    Good SPF

    i have fair skin so i love the SPF 60. it's a mineral sunscreen so it does leave a white cast, but if you apply it evenly, it's not that bad and it won't be that obvious after 15 mins or so. it does work very well for sun protection

    It's ok...

    I got a little sample of this with a purchase and was very excited to try it since I like Vichy stuff. I was pleased with the scent but not too much the easiness of absorption. I was happy with the really high SPF, but not too keen on the texture since it's REALLY pasty and heavy.

    I bought this sunscreen to use for my face, and have since found many other facial sunscreens that work just as well or better, and are overall more pleasant to use.

    I have that super sensitive skin that so often goes with red hair. Hence the need for a great sunscreen, that isn't too heavy. I've tried so many facial sunscreens, and while this one works (I never got burnt while using it) it leaves a gross cakey white film on your skin (which was probably why it was so effective) and had a very distinct odour. It was difficult to remove at the end of the day, which meant I spent a lot of time rubbing and scrubbing my skin-- which caused irritation even though this sunscreen didn't. It also had a distinct odour which was not pleasant.

    The benefits of this sunscreen are that it had a good matte finish, and the bottle size and shape made it really easy to stick in a purse. It also did prevent burns- but there are better sunscreens out there for your face (Clinique's cityblock is awesome, and so is the kinesys sunscreen- even for your face).

    I received a sample of this sunscreen from a cosmetics lady at the drugstore. I wouldn't buy it at regular price ever, I think it costs too much ($25 for 100mL), as there are other sunscreens out there that are less expensive and more effective.

    I'm a bit on the fence with this one. It has a really high SPF of 60 and contains the most defensive ingredients out there from the sun, including Mexoryl SX and Parsol 1789. It is meant for extremely sun sensitive skin. But what confuses me if that if it is meant for sensitive skin, why does it contain so many chemicals? I turned the tube over to read it, and I could identify almost 90% of them. I am thinking possibly that there needs to be chemicals to preserve the higher SPF. Don't know if SPF 60 is really necessary, but who knows!

    It does really protect your skin from the sun, I did not burn at all when using this. But it also tends to get pretty greasy and itchy, especially when you sweat while in the sun (again, I don't understand why it is meant for sensitive skin!). I think I will stick with Neutrogena or Ombrelle instead.
