(I don’t know what all

dermatologist)
MY
EXPERIENCE WITH THE PRODUCT:
As I previously mentioned, I
blindly accepted this product, trusting my derma.
To mention about my
skin type. I’ve a very dry skin. Can’t even imagine stepping out without a
moisturizer. And my skin is highly
sensitive to sun that it gets tanned quickly. I tried almost all sunscreen
products, that it would do me some good.. But all of it went in vain.
Luckily I met my
friend one day. She was glowing. She told about the derma prescribed creams
that changed her skin.. That was when I first stepped to the derma, with blind
trust.
Ok let’s take a quick
review. It smells pleasant and mild... And am happy that it doesn’t smell chemicals.
My derma said that this cream was prescribed even for swimmers… After I started
using this cream, I didn’t find any new tans, it didn’t vanish my old tans. The
burning sensation that I had while standing in sun was far less... only
disappointment I had was, it leaves my skin greasy and makes skin look darker...
So I’ve to go on a face wash once I step into office.. And I believe that was
the purpose my derma suggested me oil control powder. I used that powder one
day, but didn’t like using it, because it leaves a white cast on my face.
CONS:
- « Makes skin look dark on application
- « Makes skin look greasy
- « Expensive
- « Parabens(am happy on the percentage used)
PROS:
Am
mentioning the pros in the end cause, I’ve only one valid reason why I need it…
- « It’s important that it, “DOESN’T TAN” my skin
- « Worth the cost
- « Travel friendly pack... Doesn’t occupy space.
RATING:
4. 9/ 5 (-0.1 for the
greasy feel) I love this product so much, that I can’t give lesser than this..
WOULD
I RE-PURCHASE IT??
Yes…
Until my derma
suggests a better product than this.
P.S: Am
not personally recommending this to anyone.. This is a review for
people to know how the product is, if their dermatologist has prescribed
it for them..
Dermas suggestion for
sunny days
·
Wear
gloves
·
Use
shades
·
Wear
socks
·
Wash
your skin, after exposure to sun
·
After
a wash, apply moisturizer. Cause the mildest of soaps can also rip oil from
your skin.
·
Keep
yourself hydrated.
