I try to mark the sunscreen ingredients in red and other possible irritants in lilac. Ingredients thought to be good and useful for skin I mark green.  Learning as I go, google is my friend etc...







Thoughts:


It is visible on the skin, I would not layer it or put too much, can get cakey despite the "lightness"

Might not be the right color for everyone, color was darker/coverage is higher than I expected. I would not suggest it for people lighter than me (NC20? Light/Classic Beige in Lumene) but of course I have no way of testing how it behaves then

Gets oily/shiny/greasy if you have no time to blot/powder during the day for the oily skin (for me my T-area, especially forehead after 4-6 hrs)

- Accentuates the facial hair, not a very good look... also, dry spots, like drying pimples. It's quite unacceptable for a product that is blemish balm and by brand that claims to be "hospital dedicated professional brand"

- Have to make sure it's even when putting it on the skin because it just won't seem to blend well, finish is not beautiful

If I touch my skin, or wipe my nose, or whatever during the day, the color comes off almost completely



Strangely, after a couple of days of wearing Pladerm Dual Sun Cream, I feel like my face actually likes it! You know how face usually looks tired/clogged in the evening? This cream is definitely lessening that effect

Feels moisturizing and comfortable, I think this could suit dry skin, feels nice/protective on the skin in cold weather (-3-10 C)

Dewy/natural finish, slightly shiny, but works well with a touch of powder and stays looking nice for maybe 4-6 hours and then my forehead/nose loooks oily... but still with a bit of fixing it does stay ok for the whole day (10-12 hrs). My dry cheeks however stay the same all day

Color is just perfect for me, warm undertones, quite yellow in my opinion, fits my skin well even though I was a bit scared of how dark it looked straight from the tube. Actually even brightens up my face half a shade (looks very nice, matches my neck) but then it darkens again during the day (to the real shade of my face)

(Watery) creamy, easy to spread, but still you have to pat and make sure it's even because it just ends up streaky and blotchy otherwise

Makes my mornings faster because I don't have to put sunscreen and foundation separately

Doesn't pill unless you put something like The Ordinary's Niacinamide under it by mistake

+ Cancels out redness well



* I don't know if my skin likes this Dual Sun Cream or just hates it less than other options I've been using (Lumene's CC Cream, other sunscreens like Tosowoong's Soft Touch, Etude House's Mild Relief... etc etc) but it is clogging my pores less and it's weird.

Smells a bit sweet, a bit like candy or medicine, but also like it has gone bad, the scent is not very strong though

They call is Dual Sun Cream and almost as an afternote mention blemish balm but yes, in my opinion it is a BB cream, coverage is on the same level as Lumene's CC Cream. I thought it would've been more like tinted moisturizer but it definitely covers blemishes and redness more than expected

* I have to say I prefer something like Missha's Time Revolution Sun Protector because it has a lighter, more illuminating finish that is almost undetectable that you are wearing something. I tested it during the summer and the it was otherwise PERFECT except I think it started to break me out. But because it was so perfect otherwise, I'll have to try it again.

I will keep experimenting with this sun/bb cream if I get it to work somehow and I will use it to the end. Maybe I've been putting it on in a wrong way or it doesn't agree with my other products. At least, if all else fails, it is ok for jogging when no one is looking at me close up and it doesn't have to stay nice (unless I sweat it immediately off then???)





Price: 

17.95 EUR / 50 g

Bought from: 

Ebay seller roseroseshop

Buy again? 

No. (EDIT: Ok, maybe, if everything else fails me. This is not a horrible product, just... there is a lot of room for improvement.)

Worth the money? 

It has a lot of annoying qualities, like how it highlights hair, can get cakey, streaky, oily etc. BUT IT IS NOT BREAKING ME OUT. Still, it is overpriced for what it is and how it performs. It lacks the elegance and after two weeks it's just infuriating to see it perform so badly everyday (even though it feels nice, is moisturizing, doesn't clog pores). I do not recommend and I will not be repurchasing, but it was interesting to check it out, because the ingredient list (even though probably only half right) might guide me to other products that don't break me out.
