Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am an avid golfer in California. Everyone who golfs regularly knows a strong sunscreen is a must if you want to protect your skin.
I have used various sunscreens of SPF 30-55. They are from Neutrogena and Coppertone. Although both gave me some sun protection, I felt neither gave me satisfactory results as my skin always became noticeably darker even when I wore ample amounts of SPF 55+ non-Mexoryl Sunscreens.
Then I did some research on the best possible sunscreen and I found it was Mexoryl. It is the supreme sun protectant because it covers the broadest spectrum of UVA, which causes the most of the sunburns. Additionally, Mexoryl's chemical properties are very resilient to the intense radiation of the sun, providing lasting protection.
As soon as FDA approved Mexoryl three years ago ago, I bought Anthelios, which is SPF 60. I have used Anthelios practically everyday, including weekends, in the last 5 weeks. Here is what I have found:
Pros:
1)The sunscreen is very easy on the eyes and doesn't sting as much as other sunscreens. You can safely apply them around your face without the fear of the painful and dreaded sunscreen eye sting.
2)The sunscreen protects you reasonably well, better than any other sunscreen I have tried, but only marginally. This is not a perfect sun protection. Rather, it is just better than its mediocre competitors. Don't expect this product to keep your skin from getting significantly darker.
Cons:
1)This is the most expensive sunscreen I know.
2)The sunscreen feels stickier than most. It leaves somewhat of a greasy feel on your face, but it isn't too bad. It is definitely wearable for daytime activities such as work.
3)This sunscreen is not water or sweat resistent. It comes off very easily under water or perspiration. Overall, this is a good sunscreen but only marginally better than its much cheaper competitors. I expect the US market will have many more sunscreens with Mexoryl in the near future at more competitive prices.
