Skin Care Review: Lancome UV Expert 20 Sunscreen

Rating
Satisfactory

Benefits
Broad Spectrum sunscreen Pleasant smell

Drawbacks
Thick, heavy formula. Hard to apply.

Details
This sunscreen provides UVA and UVB protection. It is hard to apply due to the very thick nature of the cream. I have to really rub a lot to get it to sink into the skin. Once is dries, my skin feels a bit tight. The smell, while not offensive, does linger on the face all day. Since this is a sunscreen only, you must apply your moisturizer first, then the sunscreen, then your makeup. Makeup does not go on well over the sunscreen. My makeup seems to "roll" and not adhere to my skin when I put it on over the sunscreen. When used by itself, without a moisturizer, my skin gets too dry and tight.

Conclusions
At $20.00 for a 3.4 oz. tube, it is not a great product for the money.
