Lancome's Bienfait Multi-Vital 30 SPF High Potency Daily Moisturizing Cream review

product

Has anyone noticed how the sun's rays are becoming more and more harmful to our skin? I noticed this early June where I wore short sleeves and my arms felt irritated after spending a sunny day outside. At first I thought it was some sort of weird allergic reaction to certain plants, but later, I realized it was because of the sun... This has never happened to me before, so I knew things were getting serious.

When I told my beauty consultant at Lancome about my concerns, she suggested I try this Sunscreen Daily Moisturizer cream for my face. As I was just trying this, I decided to purchase a trial size (15 ml).

ingredients and back of container

Pros:

• lightweighted
• does not clog pores (and no greasy feeling)
• moisturizes skin
• long lasting (on skin protection)

I've been using this moisturizer during daytime on sunny days. I really like this product a lot because my skin absorbs this product quickly. This sunscreen is really lightweight yet it moisturizes my skin. For testing sake, I tried to apply make up on and it stayed on perfectly. This product lasts a long time too... my sample size will last for 3 months.

Cons:

• no brightening effect
• smell of sunscreen

light consistency of cream

I highly recommend this product because it really protects my skin really well... there is definitely a light sunscreen scent to it (it is not obvious to those around you). Although it is called a "cream" it was very light weighted and there was no greasy feeling. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to see the effects it had on brightening my skin, it has definitely helped my skin from being tanned.

score: 9.5/10
