My Experience with UV Doux Silicone Sunscreen Gel SPF 50 PA+++

Packaging

The sunscreen comes in a white tube which is packed in the same color outer packaging. The tube has a screw cap to secure the dispensing nozzle. The packaging is very convenient to use and wastage-proof.

Colour & Texture

Though it is called a gel, it is a thick fluffy cream. It has a non-irritating silicone compound as the base. The cream once applied on the skin feels thick for a few seconds and then settles into a comfortable matte finish.  It is a mineral sunscreen so the titanium dioxide content in it creates a subtle whitish cast on the skin. After sometimes it adjusts to the skin.

Fragrance

It has a very light floral fragrance. The fragrance goes away within 5 minutes of application.

Experience

I have photosensitivity so my skin becomes red, itchy, and irritated if my skin gets exposed to the sun for just a few minutes. So, I have to use a high-SPF sunscreen. Many of the easily available chemical sunscreens have oxybenzone as the main ingredient. I have a sensitivity to this specific ingredient so I have no other way than to use physical sunscreens. These sunscreens leave behind a white cast and this one is not exception as well. This sunscreen feels very comfortable on the skin and I don’t need to do frequent re-applications as it stays put for a long. I just have to apply a thin layer of tinted BB cream over this to hide the white cast.

What do I like about this sunscreen?

  1. Very gentle on the skin
  2. Gives a completely matte finish
  3. Does not clog pores or cause acne
  4. No need to reapply frequently
  5. Does not irritate the skin and is tolerated by every skin type
  6. Dermatologist tested

What do I dislike about this sunscreen?

  1. Expensive
  2. Physical sunscreen; leaves a whitish cast on the skin

Would I Repurchase or Recommend it?

I might not buy it again as it is quite expensive. I love Neutrogena’s sunscreen. I would suggest this to extremely sensitive skin people.

Rating-4/5
