Boots *Essentials* Sun Lotion SPF50+ HIGH 5 Star UVA Water Resistant.

- 200ml - £2.99 - PPD 30 - Fragrance Free -

Well this is a rather hard review. Would I recomend this to anyone? No. Is this cosmeticaly elegant ? No. Why ? Because it's very very rich, you apply the correct amount 1/4 tea spoon for the face and 1/4 tea spoon for the neck and it's a reminder of Avene spf 50+ cream SS (ugh), yes, feels greasy, feels uber shiny and also sticky. After 15 minutes though the white cast has alomst gone, the stickyness sort of disapears after 30 minutes or so as for the shine...well I reach for Maybelline Dream Matte Pressed Powder or MAC Blot Powder and my face looks decent.

Now why do I give 4 stars? Because although I love La Roche Posay Extreme Fluid SPF50+ makes my skin dry by midday and as I'm using Tretinoin Gel 0.1% it's a mess to re-apply a moisturizer or SS. I didn't have any hope with this, I didn't even want to buy it but £2.99 is a sin not to. Specially since has both Tinosorbs and one is so high up on the list and also is Fragrance Free (nice!). Sometimes during the day I touch up with Powder but this is more a hobby than a necessity :)

To my surprise after I used my Pressed Powder I didn't have any flake or dry skin all day long, the SS as well as extremelly protective is very moisturizing (Shea Butter on it) and didn't feel greasy or dry at all. It is a hassle to put it on, everything about it for the first half an hour is vile but the results I get from it after all day long using this, it's a keeper. If a fancy house like Bioderma or La Roche Posay made this at £20.00 people would buy it, people would moan about the finish like me.

But hell I feel so protected with a PPD30 that I will be stocking up.
