Re: EUEROPEAN sunblock...

You know, I hate wearing sunscreen but I have to when going out in the sun because I use acids (TCA, AHA, BHA) and RA so I better be protected.

You are not alone. I HATE wearing sunscreen. It is just another one of those time consuming steps that I know I have to take. It is just such a hassle to apply so many different layers of products.

I would rather apply the sunscreen then look like Peri's avatar that is forsure. That old guys scares the bedizzle out of me-

Re: EUEROPEAN sunblock...


* waterproof, sweatproof
* non-comedogenic (won't clog pores)
* oil free & PABA free
breakthrough new sun protection technology complex called Helioplex
I use this one.. Somehow it makes my face more radiant when i use it.. Anyone else using it..

Edit :

The oily part is true.. I have a T-zone and forehead gets pretty greasy..

Re: EUEROPEAN sunblock...

I have used ambre solaire every day for 3 months, it doesnt leave a greasy, shiny, whitish cast and it has a moisturizer built in, doesnt cause breakouts either.

Where else can you buy this? I'd like to try it. That listing has ended and I cannot seem to find it anywhere else on ebay.

Yeah we're glad that old dude is gone!

What I like about LRP Anthelios 60 Melt-In Milk is that it contains CELL-OX, a built-in antioxidant to mop up the free radicals...for those who don't already use a C serum.
