Ingredients:

Aqua, Dibutyl Adipate, Propanediol, Alcohol, Ethylhexyl Triazone, Terephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid, Glycerin, Niacinamide, Tromethamine, Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate, 1,2-Hexanediol, Pentylene Glycol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Caprylyl Methicone, Polysilicone-15, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Glyceryl Stearate, Bisethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Methylpropanediol, Carbomer, Acrylates/​C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Parfum, Glyceryl Stearate Citrate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/​VP Copolymer, Adenosine, Polyether-1, Butylene Glycol, Biosaccharide Gum-1, Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract, Vitamin E, Camellia Japonica Flower Extract.


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:

Apparently not water or sweat resistant because it is not mentioned anywhere so definitely not a summer time sunscreen for hikes!

Has to be ordered from abroad (customs, shipping etc)



Pleasant, soft light white cream/lotion, not a serum consistency at all

Absorbs well, like a regular moisturizer almost, can be layered

Moisturizing, for me it is not necessary to apply moisturizer underneath.

No white cast

Light pleasant scent, can't smell it after application anymore.

Hasn't irritated my eyes yet but I haven't used it during summer and sweating (also I do not apply near eyes)

So far no breakouts or irritation, actually the sunscreen does feel a bit soothing

+ Finish is satin like, natural

+ Hygienic pump bottle, BUT; I had to pump like 30 times before anything came out and I have heard that when the pump system breaks in these sort of bottles it can't be fixed



* I must say I am still thinking about the sunscreen fiasco that happened a while ago with Korean sunscreens. How they didn't match the advertised SPF rating. This can happen with any sunscreens from any countries though. Innisfree is a big "old" brand founded in 2000 by Amore Pacific so I would like to think they follow some protocol that the products are as advertised?

I am thinking a sunscreen like Innisfree Anti-Aging Serum Sunscreen is something my mom would wear. That's why I am also curious about the protection mentioned, she will definitely not apply the recommended amount on her face, maybe barely 0,5 ml. :)

I haven't tried this under makeup yet. Not many situation where I want to wear makeup now... I would think it's ok because it doesn't feel like it pills on itself at least!



Price: 

14-24 USD / 40 ml

Bought from: 

Jolse

Buy again? 

Quite probably yes. Maybe-yes.

Worth the money? 

I think Innisfree Anti-Aging Sunscreen SPF50+ is worth it, especially because I think I can lure people who usually do not use sunscreen to use one with it... For me this is an excellent winter time product. I think it suits many skintypes, even oily, because you can skip moisturizer. 

SVR Sun Secure Fluide SPF50+ 50 ml Review REFORMULATED

Ingredients:

Old (double check): Aqua, Diisopropyl Adipate, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Homosalate, Methyl Methacrylate, Methylene Bis-Benzotriazoyl Tetrametylbuylphenol, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Cyclopentasiloxane, Silica, Beheneth-25, Ethyhexyl Triazone, Caprylhydroxamic Acid, Cetearyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Daucus Carrota Sativa Root Extract, Decyl Glucoside, Glycine Soja Oil, Hydrogenated Phospatidylcholine, Lecithin, Lepidum Sativum Sprout Extract, Phenetyl Alcohol, Glycerin, Squalane, Tocopherol, Tocopheryl Acetate, 1-2 Hexanediol, Caprylyl Glycol, Citric Acid, Disodium Edta, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Lysolecitin, Neopentyl Glycol, Diheptanoate, Pentylene Glycol, Polysorbate 60, Sodium Laueth Sulfate, Sorbitan Isostearate, Xanthan Gum, Phenoxyethanol, Parfum (Fragrance).

Ingredients for new reformulated version: AQUA/WATER/EAU, SILICA, DIISOPROPYL ADIPATE, DIETHYLAMINO HYDROXYBENZOYL HEXYL BENZOATE, ETHYLHEXYL TRIAZONE, BEHENETH-25, BIS-ETHYLHEXYLOXYPHENOL METHOXYPHENYL TRIAZINE, C12-15 ALKYL BENZOATE, C15-19 ALKANE, DIETHYLHEXYL BUTAMIDO TRIAZONE, GLYCERYL STEARATE CITRATE, ISONONYL ISONONANOATE, ACRYLATES/C12-22 ALKYL METHACRYLATE COPOLYMER, POLYESTER-7, NIACINAMIDE, PENTYLENE GLYCOL, NEOPENTYL GLYCOL DIHEPTANOATE, TOCOPHERYL ACETATE, PARFUM (FRAGRANCE), 1,2-HEXANEDIOL, CAPRYLYL GLYCOL, CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE, ARGININE, COCO-GLUCOSIDE, TOCOPHEROL, XANTHAN GUM, CITRIC ACID, GLYCINE SOJA (SOYBEAN) OIL, DISODIUM LAURYL SULFOSUCCINATE, LEPIDIUM SATIVUM SPROUT EXTRACT.

Conclusion: SVR has removed Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate and Homosalate to make the sunscreen reef safe. They have also removed Methylene Bis-Benzotriazoyl Tetrametylbuylphenol and added  DIETHYLHEXYL BUTAMIDO TRIAZONE. I just read that it should be very photostable filter!

They have also moved up Silica which may be a good thing for oily skin. Seems like they have upped the Parfum on the list too... Weird because even the old version has a strong fragrance. I am not a fan seeing Isononyl Isononanoate because I think it was in something that was breaking me out, even though google let's me understand that this specific ingredient shouldn't cause breakouts. So it's me being superstitious. 

I am not against trying the new formulation! When I get to it though, it may be already reformulated again!


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:

Strong parfum that SVR describes as "delicate summery scent" - it's not a bad scent but for me a bit too strong and lingers for hours

No obvious breakouts or irritation but sometimes I do think that my skin is not its best after using the sunscreen for several days in a row



No white cast, but the sunscreen leaves some sort of cast: on me it is like a slightly beautifying/blurring cast

Hight protection of SPF50+ with (new) chemical filters

No eye irritation so far

Finish is not matte, but satiny I would say, looks natural, definitely less shiny than other sunscreens I've been using lately

Not greasy or sticky, but not exactly dry touch how the bottle claims

+ Dries fast on skin, almost immediately, a minute tops, I prefer to apply liberally and spread fast so that I don't have to drag little amounts on skin, because it starts to feel "dry" and I feel I am tugging my skin a little bit

The bottle has a great thin nozzle so I find it easy to squeeze the sunscreen lines straight to my cheeks

They claim water resistant on the tube, for the new version also sweat resistant and rub resistant on their website (not sure if these claims are for the old version)

+ Claims to protect from UVB, UVA, visible light, infrared

+ Works well under makeup (but I have noticed everything always depends on what kind of make up, what kind of weather...)



* Despite the name SVR Sun Secure Fluide, the product is not "fluid", more like a regular white lotion. Not a problem for me, fluids can be difficult to control sometimes.

* The sunscreen is not really moisturizing but not exactly drying either. For dry skin it might be. I do use moisturizer underneath.

SVR is an interesting brand and they have several interesting sunscreens. They do not seem to use alcohol in sunscreen formulas either. I am just so confused that their sunscreen line Sun Secure is so strongly fragranced when their other sunscreen products are not. 



Price: 

I paid 8,70 € on sale, normal price 15-20 € / 50 ml. 
I am pretty sure SVR has upped their prices by a few euros.

Bought from: 

SVR webstore

Buy again? 

Can't buy the discontinued version, but maybe for the reformulation.

Worth the money? 

I think SVR Sun Secure Fluide SPF50+ is worth the money, but just barely. The finish is nice, the tube is handy, no irritation, but still it doesn't feel like a first choice to apply. Maybe it is the fragrance, or the feel that my skin likes other sunscreens slightly better in long term use (even though they leave my skin shinier). I don't know. If you can catch a sale like I did (probably they were emptying old stock) it is a good deal. Interesting to see if the new version feels exactly the same as old.

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:

Too "heavy" during summer, what an oily mess when mixed with my sweat

Shiny, like a shiny layer on skin (not greasy though)

Takes a little bit time to absorb

- Because it is an emulsion formula in a tube, it tends to leak and make a slight mess (I had to keep wiping the inside of cap so that I can close it properly)



Moisturizing like the name anti-dryness suggests; I do not need another moisturizer underneath and during summer I would rather use something else altogether (Garnier Uv Face Fluid) but for winter this is a good all in one

Didn't burn my eyes so far (I do not apply near eyes, my eyes are sensitive)

Didn't pill under makeup as long as I let it dry for 5-10 minutes first, sometimes I can apply makeup straight away without pilling though, but it is much better when I wait - maybe it depends on the foundation or humidity level or something how it goes

No breakouts or irritation

No scent

No white cast, the sunscreen uses only chemical filters

High protection of SPF50+

+ Easy to apply emulsion, no tugging



* For some reason, when it comes to sunscreen reviews, I procrastinate even though it is actually easier and faster to tell whether a sunscreen works for me compared to moisturizers or serums! But summer is coming again and I bet I am not the only one who is on the lookout to try new sunscreens so better make notes of older ones.

I actually took a peek of some of my older sunscreen reviews and I do notice my preferences have changed as I have more knowledge of my skin and products. And that knowledge only comes from trying out many things myself... I have learned: When my skin is properly taken care of, denatured alcohol is GREAT and I want it high up in sunscreens; Chemical filters are great and BETTER than physical for me; It is all about the formula around chemical filters if the stuff stays put and doesn't burn my eyes or break me out; The best sweat proof sunscreens actually could be the ones with combination filters for me; Only physical filter sunscreens can still break me out even though they are viewed as gentler because lots of zinc oxide seems to clog my skin and usually the formulas don't include denatured alcohol etc to make them lighter; Almost all sunscreens are shiny or greasy or heavy or eye irritating or something unpleasant and the task is to find the one that is least annoying, not a perfect one.



Price: 

10-15 € / 50 ml

Bought from: 

Supermarket

Buy again? 

Maybe? 

Worth the money? 

Yes, even though Garnier Anti-Dryness Super UV SPF50+ wasn't my favorite sunscreen in the end. It is exactly what they promote: anti-dryness emulsion so it is quite moisturizing and creates a shiny layer on skin. So if you think Garnier's Face UV Fluid SPF50+ is too drying for you this Anti-Dryness Super UV SPF50+ is a good option to try, also Nivea's Sensitive Face SPF50 which is surprisingly a bit less shiny and less moisturizing. 

If you don't like any of the before mentioned, Innisfree Anti Aging Serum Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ seems to be a good alternative. I haven't tried it during summer but currently in winter-spring it feels soft and moisturizing and leaves skin satiny shiny. So shiny level is closer to Nivea Face Sensitive, but it feels more hydrating than Garnier Anti-Dryness. It is not serum like despite the name but it is very light feeling indeed.

Nivea Sun UV Face Sensitive SPF50

Ingredients: 

Aqua, Homosalate, Alcohol Denat., Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Butylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate, Ethylhexyl Triazone, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Cyclomethicone, Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid, Silica, Tapioca Starch, Behenyl Alcohol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Methylpropanediol, Glycerin, Glycyrrhiza Inflata Root Extract, Tocopheryl Acetate, Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate, Xanthan Gum, Carbomer, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Hydroxide, Dimethicone, Trisodium EDTA, Caprylyl Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin.


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...

I have been using and comparing all these sunscreens at the same time: Garnier Sensitive Advanced Face Super UV Fluid SPF50+, Garnier Anti-Dryness Super UV SPF50+ and Nivea Sun UV Face Sensitive SPF50.

Garnier UV Fluid is fluid like the name suggests, Garnier Anti-Dryness is emulsion and Nivea UV Face Sensitive is cream. 



Thoughts:

Not much negatives as usually I dislike sunscreens more and compare them to each other - maybe could have a more matte and more absorbed finish for my liking? Still a bit heavy for super hot summer, I prefer this during winter time. Leaves skin shiny. (Not greasy though.)

I don't apply "enough" sunscreen if the recommended amount is 1,2 ml. I think I apply maybe 0,8 ml? I do have quite a small face if it matters. Anyway, Nivea bottle says to apply 3 ml for face! I just thought it was an interesting detail. Maybe they include neck as well.



No scent

Doesn't leave skin greasy or sticky (but there is shine) compared to some other sunscreens

Finish is satiny shiny

Good under makeup when has had some time to set first, no pilling

No white cast

Affordable, easily available

No breakouts

+ Haven't noticed it hurting my eyes yet (but I do not apply near eyes anyway because of sensitive eyes)

Even though it is a cream instead of a more watery sunscreen, it is not heavily moisturizing, doesn't feel suffocating for skin 

+ During summer no need for moisturizer underneath (for me)

+ High protection of SPF50 with chemical filters



* I can't believe I haven't made a post about Nivea Sun UV Face Sensitive sunscreen yet, even though I have mentioned it here and there! I'm soon done with the bottle that I got last year. I really do like it. I am using products quite slowly because I use several different ones in rotation currently. I try to use what I have before buying more.

I'll have to check the box in case I still find it for the ingredients if they are still the same. Companies tend to reformulate sunscreens almost every/every other year.

I also like Nivea's body sunscreen, Nivea Sun Kids Spray SPF50+ a lot. Or whatever it is called now.

Don't get me wrong, this sunscreen is not perfect, but it seems no sunscreen can be so far... so my search continues still. I want to try Japanese sunscreens next because they are so hyped and I don't know how these basic EU sunscreens compare to them. And new formulations come out every year. But this is still very good and usable and that is nice!



Price: 

10-13 € / 50 ml

Bought from: 

Supermarket

Buy again? 

Yes, I think I will.

Worth the money?

Yes. Nivea's Sun Uv Face Sensitive SPF50 is a good everyday sunscreen and I especially like it for winter and it is ok during summer too. It seems to suit many skintypes, dry skin just needs moisturizer, oily skin doesn't. I'm surprised I've had no breakouts so it seems to suit clog prone skin as well. I've had no irritation either, so probably works well for sensitive skin as advertised. Even though it contains alcohol denat and only chemical filters. I would say: versatile all arounder for a fair price and I would recommend to try it sometime if you got interested.
