ZelensDaily Defence Sunscreen SPF 30, ZEL16

Bought this after researching facial SPFS, when I couldn't find my usual Medik8. I was impressed by it's anti-aging claims, 'Reduced formation of damaging free radicals; helps repair DNA; delays premature skin ageing' & especially that it's created by 'a leading plastic surgeon & authority in the field of skin ageing & skin cancer' who must surely know what they're doing?! It was very expensive but I figured maybe you get what you pay for, magic & miracles.I've had no issues; it's a lovely light cream with a slight but pleasant chemical scent, sinks in without grease or shine. (Old style high SPFs were literally like wearing lard; hair & small flies would stick to your face-! Great look, LOL, yet I still preferred it to ageing!)No problems with eyes stinging eyes - apparently to avoid that you should tap eye-cream on the cheek bone? but I forget or just don't have patience to faff, & this lotion has been fine thankfully. Somehow managed to get it in my mouth a few of times though; unpleasant-!So a great facial SPF though not necessarily any better than others I've used, & whether it genuinely does all it claims is hard to know, I'd hope so but I don't have a test lab. It's nearly half what I originally paid at the mo'; tempting, but I've since bought a load of much cheaper 'Simple' brand which seems good enough, & I think if it's cheaper you're less likely to skimp on it too!

Some sunscreens actually age the skin, I have read recently (god you can't win with so much conflicting advice everywhere...!) and this was recommended as a good brand. It's still slightly greasy on my skin, which is disappointing. And stings the eyes when it makes its way in to the corners over the course of the day. I've no doubt it's a good product, but not for me.

Makes my skin glow
