Ingredients

My experience

Finally I found the sun block which I never wish to change. I had heard about this sun block quite often from my friends, readers etc... and this is very famous in foreign countries. Now you would be wondering will that work on Indian skin??? Yes, it does. It has anthelios which gives strong protection from UVA UVb rays and also prevents tanning. It is just like its name fluid. Its absolutely oil free, irritation free and shine free. If you have oily/ combination oily skin, this is it. It doesn't feel sticky or oily after use. I see a white layer on face that proves that its a chemical SPF. Physical sunblocks don't appear white layered.
Since its summers, no need to wear moisturizer inside (for oily skin) in winters: moisturizer is must. This fluid is just not enough to provide necessary moisture to your skin in cold weather.

Check out the swatches on my hand


see... it makes my skin look whiter... when it is not evenly spread it looks ghastly
