VLCC Sweat Free Sunblock Lotion SPF 40/PA+++ - Review

Details: ( VLCC claims) This lotion provides Broad Spectrum sun protection against both UVA & UVB rays of the sun. A unique sweat free formulation that protects the skin against sun damage thus preventing tanning and ageing. Enriched with comfrey plant extract, its anti irritant properties protect the skin against irritation and redness while non greasy formula lends a satin smooth feel to the skin. Priced at Rs 325 for 100g.

My verdict: VLCC Sweat Free Sun Block lotion SPF 40 comes in a bright yellow and white tube with orange cap. The product inside is white coloured and has a thick consistency which is quite unlike lotions. Has an artificial smell which isn't too strong. The first thing that you observe is the difficulty to blend it which is a stumbling block of the product for me. It feels pretty heavy on the skin but does not leave a white cast. The facial skin feels oily and sweaty after a few minutes of application of the product, therefore it CANNOT be used in summers. I bought this in May and after a couple of uses it just kept sitting on my vanity untouched. However, I have started using it again these last few days and I've come to observe that it is actually good for winters. It is not making the skin oily these days. I reach out for it everyday and slather a good amount on my face and hands before basking in the sun. Rounding up the post , this sun block lotion is apt for dry winters but it is too rich and heavy to be used in summers.
