GarnierOmbrelle Complete Sensitive Advanced 60 SPF 200 mL

I took a chance on buying this again because the last time I had bought it, I paid for 200ml and got 90ml. I took a picture with my review and it wasn't allowed>:[It was upsetting not only because I paid for more and got less, but because I LOVE this product.I don't know why I wasn't permitted to write an honest review of what happened:/?But this time, I did receive the 200ml tube. So I'm very happy about that.I use this on my face as well as everywhere so getting the right amount is important. It is one of the very best formulas out there for fair, sunburn-prone, acne- prone skin.It's fragrance free and one of the least non-greasy sunscreens, that works, out there.There is a BIT of white cast, so darker skin tones know you will need to rub in well or use a bit of makeup tint mixed with it. Although it's flattering on fair skin.But most importantly protects superbly!I have bought similar sunblock in Europe-Bioderma was a favorite, but unavailable in the US. Although this one is comparable and worth it.I truly hope they don't change this formula as it is perfect for sensitive, acne-prone skin types. And it's fragrance free.I love it!

Dry skin. On Retinols. 30-35 years of age. Autistic. Waste conscious.In searching to simplify the steps of skincare that I was doing, from a skin benefit, plastic & a mental benefit lens, I found this in a recommendation from Dr. Dray for dry skin. Having multiple layers of gunk on my skin doesn't feel good for me. I get crabby, and if it tingles I feel like I can't breathe, and just straight want to wash it off my face. This is working instead of a moisturizer in the morning so that I don't have to cake sunscreen over a moisturizer. It doesn't sting around the eyes on application.-- if you're ugly crying it totally stings a bit, but you're ugly crying so what does it matter that there's sunscreen in your eye? Okay, it sucks, but it is 100% better than crying Neutrogena sunscreens into your eyes. It doesn't dry me out like all the Japanese/korean chemical sunscreens do. It doesn't really have the goop feeling that some of the HA chemical sunscreens do. It doesn't pill. I put it on my husband that is a medium shade African American and it didn't cast. It does look a bit pasty until it absorbs into your skin. I wish it finished SLIGHTLY more matte, but I don't look like a glazed donut-- All in all, a really wonderful addition that has put my mind at ease that it is actually working for more than an hour & can stand on its own without other products to make it functional.I like that there is so much in one plastic container. A Biore UV container should really be used in 20 days... so that is a lot of waste because of sunscreen. So, balancing scientific sun protection with minimizing plastic consumption-- and all of the rest of the above wonderful things. This is my holy grail sunscreen.

I’m usually a mineral sunscreen wearer only but I recently learned about this sunscreen and Mexoryl XL in general and how amazing it is at blocking UVA rays (the aging rays). I’m very particular about how sunscreens feel and absorb on my skin so I’m always nervous/skeptical trying a new one but this is PERFECTION. I’ve tried probably 40 different sunscreens over the last couple years in search of my holy grail and I think I’ve finally found it! It’s moisturizing and gives you a dewy base without being greasy or overly glowly. Plus it doesn’t cause my skin to feel dry by the end of the day like a lot of other sunscreens do. The one and only downside is that I don’t like the way this smells. To me it smells like, and this sounds really weird but…it smells like cigarette butts! I quit smoking years ago but I remember that smell and it smells just like it to me. It only smells when I’m actively applying it to my face and then it very quickly dissipates. It’s kinda gross but not enough to knock it off the top sunscreen spot in my book. I wish there were other ways to buy this in the US but I’m definitely going to have my cousin in Canada stock up and bring me some bottles when she visits twice a year. If you’re debating giving it a try just do it! It’s actually not a bad price considering the size of the bottle either!

This is truly lightweight and effective. If I do not rub it in fully in one spot it will dry to its powdery state and leave something similar to a white cast. I make sure to dab areas then rub in. It does dry pretty quick so I don’t take on my whole body at once. I go out into really intense UV rays and I have not burned once or really have gotten much darker while only using this as directed for my face sunscreen. I get lazy and use Up and Up spray sunscreen on my shoulders and arms and really can see the difference in skin tone between my face and arms/shoulders. I am waiting for second bottle. I wish the US would get with it and approve more UV filters like Europe has done so this would be less costly and more accessible. It is worth the gist though.
