This review is for the Garnier Ambre Solaire Light & Silky SPF50. It worked very well to prevent my skin burning but it certainly wasn't light or silky. I bought two bottles for a 3 week holiday in the tropical heat of SE Asia, hoping that because it was 'light & silky' it would sink into my skin easily, leaving it soft rather than tacky, and without adding to the inevitable sticky, sweaty feeling I would have to endure from the climate....Despite being a lotion, it was thicker and greasier than expected. It sat on my skin, felt heavy and sticky and made my face look very, very shiny.
I would have much preferred this sunscreen as an easily absorbed 'milk', it would have felt lighter on the skin and more comfortable in the heat...I can't fault the sun protection but next time I'll look for something less greasy. continued >>

Garnier is my go-to brand for sunscreen. I like the formulas, the packaging and most of all the scent. This is another good sunscreen, it protects well, and feels light on the skin. The pricepoint is very good as with all Garnier products.
What I really don't like is that it "rolls" off my skin. I have yet to find a sunscreen that doesn't, but I really hate it! It also stains my clothes, and those cons are enough to give it only three lippies.
For reference, I'm a pale scandinavian with blue eyes and blond hair, freckles and lots of pigment-spots (whatever they're called) on my body. I generally don't tan, just burn, but haven't with this sunscreen.
