Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)As of 2010, this is one of the 2 products with chemicals approved by FDA that offers both UVA and UVB protection. The product was recommended by a friend in Europe who got her recommendation from her dermatologist. I have been using Shiseido sunscreen for years, and found this product superior in the following ways:
1. Very powerful: spent a wk in CA coast, 10 hrs in the sun, my skin was intact, didn't show any irritation I usually got from intense sun exposure
2. Non greasy, absorbs really well and not drying at all
Some considerations:
1. It gives a whitish look especially after 2-3 applications, but Shiseido has it too. I don't mind it outdoor, but would prefer to clean it off before I go out for a nice dinner
2. As it is so effective to filter out the UV's, I didn't get much sun tan. So you may want to get a SPF 30 version if getting a tanned look is more important
3. As it absorbs so fast, I had to be careful to apply generously and made sure that no exposed area was skipped. On the 1st day when I was not so careful, parts of my shins were burned after a few hrs in the sun. But the mistake never happened again
4. I prefer to put on face cream before sunscreen. It seemed the sunscreen would roll onto the face cream on the skin and turned into many tiny white stuff that just fell off. The trick is to to wait for an hr or so until the face cream is thoroughly absorbed and dried before apply sunscreen.
Below is a chart that shows Anthelios XL product line's UVA and UVB protection. I bought the fluid face and fluid body because of their highest ppd level. During hiking, I'd carry only the body fluid. It works equally well on the face.
