At last sun cream I can use!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 August 2019

I have super sensitive skin and eczema and for the longest time I didn't know if I would find a sun cream that wouldn't leave my skin swollen and red and itchy. After doing some research I found this sun cream recommended in a list article along with products that were £100+ so since this stuff was much cheaper I thought I should try it.

I can use this and my skin doesn't react! (mostly, the skin around my mouth reacts a little, but I can avoid that area pretty easily).

I used this while working long hours in the sun and in water and at the end of the day I didn't get burnt at all, while the person I was working with (who had laughed a bit at my spf50 sun cream) was burnt.

I'm so happy to have found some sun protection that I can use, I can finally go outside in the summer with skin exposed!

Only offers 3 star UVA protection.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 December 2020

...... the minimum recommendation is 4 stars. I didn't realise it was so low prior to purchase. Pretty poor protection. It amounts to less than 60% of UVA blocked.
UVA waves cause premature ageing and skin cancers.
Will try another brand with a 5 star rating. Which is what I presumed I was getting here due to rave reviews.

Only 3-star UVA protection

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 August 2021

Style Name: Anti-Dark Spots & Anti-PollutionVerified Purchase

This only has a 3-star UVA protection. What is the point of being SPF 50 when it only has 3-star UVA?

To better understand what this means.

The star rating measures the amount of ultraviolet 'A' radiation (UVA) protection. You should see a star rating of up to 5-stars on UK sunscreens. The higher the star rating, the better. Star shows the level of protection from UVA rays. UVA rays are present at all times during daylight hours, and while you might not immediately see their effects, they’re very powerful. They can penetrate clouds and even glass. They penetrate the skin more deeply than UVB rays to cause long-term damage (including all types of skin cancer) and play a major part in the ageing process, such as causing wrinkles, sun spots and leathery skin.

SPFs are rated on a scale of 2 to 50+ based on the level of protection they offer, with 50+ offering the strongest form of UVB protection. The higher the SPF rating the better the protection from UVB rays which are the sun rays that are mostly responsible for sunburn and skin reddening. They don’t penetrate as deeply as UVA rays, but they’re just as damaging. They play a large part in the development of skin cancers including melanoma. You might get a tan but you also cause premature skin ageing and old leathery looking skin over years of exposure.

It was not clear what the star rating was from the description selling the product and for the price at £12 for one 40mL bottle I expected better protection. I wrongly assumed it would be 5-star. I don’t consider this good value for money or able to provide the UVA protection i was lookig for. I therefore award it one star.

Style Name: Face and Neck Sun Cream SPF 50+Verified Purchase

I wanted to protect my face with a cream that was light, went on smoothly, didn't leave a residue can wear make up on top and wouldn't sting my eyes. This is perfect !!
I'll let you know in 25yrs if it has prevented wrinkle from the sun! 😄

The only suncream I can use

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 March 2020

Style Name: Face and Neck Sun Cream SPF 50+Verified Purchase

Having eczema and contact skin allergies it can be difficult to find skin products. There are so many products that claim to be suitable for sensitive skin and I still react to them. Sun cream in particular I have a problem with as they can be too heavy and irritating.

This sun cream works really well. Because it’s especially for the face it is formulated to be lighter but is still just as effective for a 50SPF. It applies really easily and is not thick or heavy at all for the SPF, it is almost unnoticeable when applied. It does not irritate my skin at all, so would say it is suitable for very sensitive skin.

Lasts a long time but it is a small tube, because i use it for my neck and arms as well the tube doesn’t last too long. I only ever buy this on special offer to make it better value.

Finally!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 December 2020

Style Name: Anti-Dark Spots & Anti-PollutionVerified Purchase

I've tried SO many face SPF's and after only using this for one day I can already tell it's my favourite! I have combination/ oily skin (very oily tzone, dry cheeks) and this goes on beautifully. It's so thin and liquidy, it disappears into nothing on your face without leaving any kind of cast, residue or greasiness. Make up sits amazingly on top of it too. My boyfriend also loves it!

Retail price £7.00

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 August 2020

Style Name: Anti-Dark Spots & Anti-Pollution

This is a highly rated product, but the product details here are incorrect. This is a 40ml bottle for £11.98. It retails at £7.00 in Boots the chemist. The price of £8.44 per 100ml is therefore wrong. Caveat emptor.

Great for Acne Prone Skin

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 December 2021

Style Name: Anti-Dark Spots & Anti-PollutionVerified Purchase

Finally a sunscreen that agrees with my sensitive acne prone skin! It doesn't cause breakouts, has a thin lightweight texture and works well layered under makeup. I've seen this product recommended again and again by different skincare experts so decided to try it out myself and now have it on repeat buy. Sunscreen is a must everyday, especially if you are using products that make your skin more prone to sun damage such as exfoliating acids or retinoids. This one is a great formula and excellent price. Although it's good for day to day wear because it only has a 3 star protection rating I would choose to take something else while on holiday.

Good protection but can tell it's on your face

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 September 2019

Style Name: Face and Neck Sun Cream SPF 50+Verified Purchase

I brought this to try out and see if it was a good as other sun creams I have tried out.
Was disappointed in reading the comments and seeing people write you couldn't tell if you has sun cream on. This is totally false. You have a little shine on your face. I've tried putting a smaller amount on my face to see of this helped but hardly did. Was good protection to the skin tho. I wont be purchasing this again but rather spending a couple of quid more and getting a better one which you can't tell it's on your face.

Best Facial Sunscreen EVER!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 March 2022

Style Name: Anti-Dark Spots & Anti-PollutionVerified Purchase

This is the SPF for people that hate SPF! It’s super lightweight, instantly absorbs and is near-undetectable. You can’t beat SPF 50+ for UVB protection, and don’t be put off that it’s ‘only’ got a 3 star UVA protection (do some research, the testing is flawed). This SPF is made by the same company that make a ‘shakeable’ SPF facial fluid, and this is just as good, if not better, and a fraction of the price. Buy it!
