Invisible Zinc - Environmental Skin Protector

My Pharmasist put me onto this one. My son reacts to most sunscreens, but this ones great. Find it really thick which at first was hard to spread but once you got used to it it was fine. A little goes a long way. This seems to last a long time in the sun, my son has never got burnt when I've used this product, through swimming at beaches in NZ and around the pacific islands. I highly recommend this.

Tried this as couldn't get my usual LRP sunscreen. I am surprised as its great for sensitive skin but it does take a bit to work into the skin, especially on my face but in saying that it does absorb after a while. I don't have time to wait too long though so will definitely be going back to the LRP one I love.

I find its very comparable to the LRP sunscreen only the LRP one is maybe slightly more viscous and easier to apply. My kids like the invisible zinc one and so I don't mind using on them and so far no allergic reactions.

It is a bit expensive and due to being thicker doesn't last as long as my LRP one. Still a good product though

I started using Invisible Zinc ESP this summer as I was after a sunscreen that wasn't fill of chemicals. I was a bit unsure about using this at first as I had read mixed reviews on it. I can now say it is the best facial sunscreen I have ever used. I apply to my face after cleansing and applying moisturiser in the morning. I then allow it to set/dry for a couple of minutes before applying my makeup. I have not once had my nose, cheeks, chin or any part of my face burnt when spending time outside this summer. I have hyperpigmentation and this has help enormously to prevent the sun exposure increasing it. Some reviews had a dislike to a white colour the zinc left and said it was not invisible but I did not experience this at all. It also works well under my makeup sort of like a primer. Comes in a handy airless pump dispenser, I purchased mine online from the Allergy Pharmacy for a great price.

I was recommended this by my beautician after asking what sunscreen I could use that would not irritate my skin or cause acne. I use it on my face and find a little goes a long way. And it works, definitely stopping sunburn and sensitive/natural enough to use on my daughter's skin also. It absorbs well and doesn't have a strong scent.
