VMV Hypoallergenics Armada Sport 50 Sunscreen, 3.0 Fluid Ounce

Best product ever!! If you have sensitivity to lotions but need a sunblock this is wonderful!

A non-comedic formulation, so unlike many heavy sunscreens this SPF 50 cream will not clog pores. It is broad spectrum so it blocks both UVA and UVB rays and can be used on both face and body. The product avoids use of common allergens so it contains no dye, Phthalates, preservatives, PABA, parabens, and it is totally fragrance-free.It creates a barrier while maintaining a lightweight consistency so it smooths on easily and permits an even thin application which helps to control product waste. The cream has a slightly slick feel on the skin although within five minutes or so that is somewhat mitigated leaving the skin feeling and looking soft and moisturized. But I did wipe-off the palms of my hands which remained a little too slick.The instructions for use are not uncommon, shake tube before use, avoid eye, nose and mouth area, apply 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapply every two hours. Flip top lid that definitively snaps shut with a loud click so there is no question it is closed. The sunscreen arrives with a foil seal over the tube opening offering assurance it is fresh and untouched.To estimate shelf-life, the expiration date on the tube is 13 months in the future, but this will vary. Excellent product.

This VMV HYPOALLERGENICS ARMADA SPORT 50 SUNSCREEN (3.0 Fluid Ounce) lives up to the advertising claims. It doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin, and it’s a light cream that goes on fast and doesn’t leave a greasy residue on my face or hands.The SPF (sun protection factor) rating on the label is the maximum allowed by the FDA (since February 2017). (There is little evidence that higher numbers provide more protection. They reflect the time it takes to develop a sunburn, and sunscreens generally must be applied every 2 hours.)This is a broad spectrum sunscreen; it protects against both UVA and UVB rays.

No scent, which is great. Very moistuing to the skin and goes on smooth. A little goes a long way. At first, it did leave a shiny, lightly greasy feel.

When I try a new skin product, I always try to be cautious and use it on a small area, and I am so glad I did this time. I only used it on part of my face, but couple of hours later the area started to swell up, and it stayed swollen for several hours afterward. I am not sure what might have caused the reaction, but I am really sure I will not put it on my skin again.
