Skin Care Review: Colorescience Sunforgettable SPF 30

by Krista Christopher, LE, Kuna, ID USA

Rating
Adverse Effects

Benefits
Full-spectrum, waterproof SPF 30 with 12% titanium dioxide and 12% zinc oxide.

Drawbacks
Having to use half the container for proper coverage (!)

Details
Our MedSpa was given the big sales pitch about how wonderful this product is ... and after touting it to every client that walked in our door, and selling at least 40-50 units ... three of us got very sunburned one afternoon at the winery, even though the sunscreen was applied according to Colorescience directions. When we called our sales rep to complain about the sunburns, we were told that for proper SPF 30 coverage, per the FDA, we would have to apply half (!) the container, and would have to continue to reapply during the day if our skin started feeling hot. What is going to happen now when our clients come in sunburned from the lack of proper application of this product? How are we supposed to sell a $45 sunscreen, when it only contains (2!) applications? This was all part of our post-IPL-care program, and now I'm afraid of negative reactions from clients.

Conclusions
Wear a good lotion first, then use Sunforgettable for reapplication during the day.

Price (paid by reviewer)
$45.00
