Ingredients
Its a tinted sunscreen because Zinc Oxide leaves a white patch behind. It comes in four tints which is less for the varying skin colors and sometimes, it might not really suit the skin tone. Since it is a Zinc Oxide based sunscreen, the texture is powdery (like Lactocalamine). And, yes, it is difficult to blend in the skin. Especially, when your skin is not at its best or not exfoliated properly.
Well that was the bad and the good is that it goes very smoothly over oil or most of the moisturizers I have tried. Its supposed to blend in like a foundation only so a little patience is definitely required. Its a good makeup base and a little lip tint would look great. The finish of the product is matte and doesn’t really make the face oily but yes, blotting papers would be useful if you are not going to sit in an AC.
And, another good thing about the product is that it has amazing ingredients which nourish your skin at the same time. But, the best part of the product is that it stays for the whole day and you don’t have to reapply unless you are all the time in the sun or you are sweating excessively when the Zinc Oxide may get washed off the skin.
I have been using this since quite a time and almost every time I have loved the product except for when it gets difficult for me to blend it in and then, I come to know that I need to exfoliate the my skin. Generally, exfoliation solves the blending problem so that makes my skin happy and glowing. Oh, something to remember is that double cleansing is very very necessary to remove the product.
PS: I am doing this review today because of Bridal Series going on. And, I wanted to share the secret of my glowing skin these days. And, if you can indulge in the expenditure, you should definitely give this a try. I don’t know how I am going to get my next bottle. Btw, the 30ml bottle lasts for 2 months if used everyday so that’s satisfactory at least (not inexpensive at all). Btw, MVO has free international delivery on or above 175$ so if anyone is interested, we can arrange a collective purchase. Drop me a mail 🙂

I heard alot about this sunscreen, I’ve always wanted to try this but more than product price its the shipping cost which is killing. :). If you ever find someone to club costs with, count me in too 😀
so true Renuca 🙂 it has free shipping on 175$ so clubbing would definitely ease the rates. I will surely announce whenever I plan to get my sunscreen 🙂
