Many people before me here at epinions have written some really stellar reviews of sunscreens and one thing they have in common is how well they work or don't work on the face, body, whatever. They also talk about whether or not they are sweat and ...

Pros: it works, no greasy feel, no skin irritation
Cons: none

I purchased this product because I spend a lot of time out in the sun while marching parades, working out, or just hiking and having fun. I found the Faces plus bottle sitting on a rack in a dollar store so I decided to give it a try--what have I got to...

Pros: Non-greasy, hypoallergenic, formulated for acne-prone skin, does not clog pores.
Cons: Does it offer broad-spectrum protection, or does it not?

When looking for a sunscreen for the face, the most important thing to look out for, personally, is that the product must be oil-free, since my skin type is oily. Having tried several sunscreens that failed to deliver their promise to be grease-free, it was with apprehension that I picked up this brand.

Despite the unimpressive smell, I was pleased with the product. It really does not leave a greasy film on my face, and it's enriched with Vitamin E, collagen/elastin and aloe vera extract, which has moisturising properties. It is also dermatologist-tested.

However, the white cream took a while to sink in, which means that you would look paler than usual, waiting for the stuff to be absorbed. Also, it is only water-resistant, not water-proof, and the SPF number, at 23, is a little low. In addition, it is not stated explicitly whether or not we are protected against both UVA and UVB.

Despite these, this product is a worthwhile investment which I recommend for oily and fair asian skins like mine.
