Vanicream Facial Moisturizer with SPF 30-2.5 fl oz - Formulated Without Common Irritants for Those with Sensitive Skin

I’ll order again

I’ve only been using this moisturizer with zinc oxide (sun protection) for a couple of weeks, and so far it’s great. Glides on smoothly, unlike thick sunscreens that can get blotchy, and it absorbs quickly. My skin feels very soft and fine lines disappear, so I know the moisturizer is working. I’ve had problems with the drying effects of sunscreen in the past. No discernible scent, which is a plus. It does leave a faint whitish cast that disappears after a minute or two, and my skin tone looks even. The very faint “glow” or hint of zinc oxide reduces some of the redder spots on my sensitive skin, so I am able to use this alone as foundation. Makes it easy to reapply every two hours to continue the sun protection. It’s important to remember that no sunscreen product lasts all day—always follow the directions and reapply to keep sun protection active. I really like the safety rating this cream received from EWG—this is rare for sun protection products. It’s not perfect, but since I have to moisturize and use sunscreen, this product gives me all that without added worry about health and safety concerns. I live in the Pacific Northwest and we haven’t had many full-sun days since I started using it, but so far the sunscreen factor seems to be working. Because this product glides on so easily I am able to avoid areas of missed coverage. I will update this review when I’ve tested it in the summer, but I expect that I’ll need a full sunscreen if I’m spending all day outside. Reading other reviews, I’m concerned to see that people use this as both day and nighttime moisturizer. Zinc oxide is one of the safer sunscreen options, but give your skin and overall health a break by using this only during the day (even on cloudy days). Wash your face in the evening and apply a non-zinc moisturizer overnight. I think Vanicream makes one if you like the way this product feels.

A bit greasy for sure especially under make up, but my super dry and sensitive skin has no trouble with this. My eczema prone son has no trouble either.

Took awhile to arrive as coming from US to UK. No big deal. Really enjoying this cream. Wanted an SPF moisturizer for neck with fewer chemicals. Not much needed, spreads well, absorbs well, not greasy. Very happy 👍 Will buy again.

I have to use mineral sunscreen but struggle with them. Between the white cast they tend to leave and how they seem to always always always pill up under makeup its been frustrating. This one is the best I've used so far. The white cast is minimal and easily blends away. I get zero pilling under foundation or skin tint. My skin is sensitive/acne prone and this does not irritate or break me out. Because there is no added fragrance (which is a huge plus as fragrance in skincare frequently causes skin irritation for me) that zinc-y mineral smell is more noticeable with this sunscreen over others I've used. It's not overpowering but if you're sensitive to that smell this might not be for you. Affordable, appropriate for sensitive skin with no added frills or scents, and does the job. I will repurchase.

So thick and white good moisturising sunscreen for winter months and cold countries, not suitable for daily wear in our tropical country
