I finally found something to replace my Eucerin Everyday Protection Face Lotion SPF 30 that I've used for about 3 months... It's the Argan oil daily moisturizer with SPF 40 from Josie Maran. I have been using this sunscreen for a full month now and I love it!
This sunscreen has Josie Maran's signature ingredient, Argan Oil. Argan oil is produced from the argan tree in the semi deserts of Morocco. This oil is rich in vitamin E & essential fatty acids, which have anti-aging properties. This organic ingredients is known to help and prevent dehydration, inflammation, hyper pigmentation, and sebum production (sephora.com). So when I got this, I was really excited and hope it can help my dry and hyper pigmentation issues.
Josie Maran - Argan Oil Daily Moisturizer with SPF 40+
2 fl. oz./60ml $32.00
Eucerin Everyday Protection Face Lotion SPF 30
I always felt this is just alright, it did not break me out, fragrance free
and great for "sensitive skin". But I felt this is just not enough protection
for my face as it's only SPF 30 and is not moisturizing enough. Before that
I also tried Bobbi Brown's "Brightening SPF 50 Protective Face Base"
which was totally a disappointment. So when I found Josie Maran Argan
Oil Daily Moisturizer SPF 40, I was glad I gave it a try. It did not break
me out or clog my pores. It's all natural with organic ingredients and is
formulated without Parabens, Sulfates, Synthetic Fragrances, Synthetic Dyes, Petrochemicals, Phthalates, GMOs, and Triclosan (sephora.com)
this is what the packaging box looks like
How to Use: Apply daily 15-30 minutes before sun exposure.
Reapply after extended sun exposure. May be used everyday
or year-around. Safe for all ages. Shake well before use.
Most of the time I go out with makeup so apply sunscreen 15-30
minutes before sun exposure is never an issue for me. I found that
writing reviews sometimes help me learning about products better
as I pay more attention to the descriptions :)
Argan Oil Infused. A superior source of antioxidents, vitamin E and
essential fatty acids, Argan Oil nourishes and protects skin and hair
and keeps them functioning at their optimal levels.
the packaging comes in a glass bottle with a pump dispenser and a clear cap
I usually use 1 pump for the whole face, and another half pump or so for
areas that tend to expose more to the sun or areas that have
hyper pigmentation for extra protection^^
white cream/moisturizer type sunscreen
slightly blended into skin. the texture is pretty lightweight. it's very
gentle for my sensitive skin. It has a natural but light scent
without the typical sunscreen smell. It's also very moisturizing which
I like a lot (compared to Eucerin's SPF 30 that doesn't do the job that well).
It might "feel" a little bit greasy and "white cast" at first, but it absorbs
fairly quickly after blending into the skin. Once blended, it actually
give your skin a bit of the healthy grow.
This is my first Josie Maran product and I'm very pleased with its
overall performance. I really like this and will continue to use.
For 2 fl. oz./60 ml with a price tag of $32 I think it's alright considering
better ingredients used in this bottle. I also like L'occitane's
"Immortelle Very Precious Fluid SPF 40", but this is not cheap,
only 1 fl. oz /30ml for $54 so I guess Josie Maran's Argan oil daily
moisturizer SPF 40 is a great and even better alternative ^_^
blended completely into skin
