My Experience with Vichy Capital Soleil SPF 50 Mattifying Face Fluid Dry Touch:
I love this sunscreen to bits. Finding a good sunscreen for oily/combination skin is like “mission impossible 3” and I am always on a hunt for one that spares me from the horror of a thick white mask effect and grease ball kind of a look. This is sent from heaven for me and sinks in my skin like magic, has a very light texture and doesn’t feel greasy at all and also it serves as a great primer for my combination skin as makeup sits on this beautifully and never looks cakey. I apply it every morning right after my moisturizer and within seconds I can start with my compact or foundation as it provides a matte finish instantly. I can easily say this is the best sunscreen I have ever tried and trust me I have laid my hands on zillions of them :-).
One thing I don’t like is that it has a little perfume-y fragrance, but it vanishes after a few minutes. I love the fact that its paraben free and has never ever caused a breakout or irritated my skin. It feels ultra light on my face and has given me the most wonderful sunscreen experience.
Pros of Vichy Capital Soleil SPF 50 Mattifying Face Fluid Dry Touch:
- Ultra light on skin.
- No white mask effect.
- Works for sensitive skin.
- Sinks in quickly.
- Matte effect.
- Great as a makeup base.
- No parabens.
- Easy squeeze tube.
- Doesn’t irritate skin.
- High SPF 50 UVB+UVA.
- Has Vichy thermal spa water.
- Amazing for oily and combination skin beauties.
- Winner of the Cosmopolitan Beauty Awards 2012 – Best Facial Sun Protection.
Cons of Vichy Capital Soleil SPF 50 Mattifying Face Fluid Dry Touch:
- No cons.
IMBB Rating:
5/5.
