Photostable sunscreen gel was prescribed to me by my dermatologist. She said it is a good choice of sunscreen for oily and combination skin, does it live up to the expectations?
Price: Rs 450 (75 g)
Photostable sunscreen comes in a tube type packing which is travel-friendly. The sunscreen is white in color and odorless. It gives protection of SPF 40+, spreads on smoothly and does not leave a white cast. It moisturizes the skin but does not make it oily or sweaty. It is hypoallergenic and sweat as well as water resistant. The formula of the sunscreen is non-comedogenic, so it does not clog pores and lead to acne. My friend who has dry skin also tried this sunscreen, even she was impressed with the non-greasy yet nourishing nature of the photostable sunscreen gel.

It’s actually very greasy. I have oily acne prone skin and it leaves an oily layer on my face. Skin looks dull and dark when I apply this, as if I have put oil on my face. My skin feels suffocated and heavy and I sweat more when I have this sunscreen on. Does not absorb so well and the areas like creases of face like near nose, lips and chin gets more oily. I even got breakouts after applying it. Maybe it protects from sun maybe it doesn’t, but all these other cons are enough for me to never buy it again. It’s pretty expensive too for a products with so many bad qualities.

I do not know whether they have changed the formula recently, when I was using it, it was not greasy did not cause breakout or have medicine like fragrance. Are you sure that you bought an original product? Because many online website are selling fake products now.
Also doesn’t smell so good. It has a medicine like bitter smell. Can’t go walking around with such bad smell that people have to ask me where’s that bad smell coming from.
