VLCC Glow + Sun Block Lotion Review
Aloha ladies,
I have been avoiding sunscreen for a long time. Why? There are numerous reasons – sunscreens are heavy – my nose sweats really bad and I get a white cast. Can it be any worse? I would rather turn a few shades darker than feel sticky and look like a dirty white ghost the whole day. However. I did turn a few shades darker and having sunburn on my face didn’t help me look any better. After consulting a dermatologist for my skin, I realized the need for a sunscreen. I had earlier tried some brands like Lakme, Lotus, and was left disappointed. I also wanted something reasonably cheap. After going through some of the products in the store, I finally decided to go for VLCC’s sun block.
Price:
Rs. 150
Ingredients:
Sandalwood extract, saffron extract, wheat germ oil, zinc oxide , aloe Vera extract and water melon extract.
My Take on VLCC Glow + Sun Block Lotion:
This sun block comes in a sturdy, opaque white plastic tube with orange colour flap lid. The packaging is quite light and can be easily carried around in a makeup bag. The flap is quite tight and there is no fear of leakage or spillage in the bag. The sun block is pearly white in color with a very mild fragrance.
The texture of the sun block is soft and smooth with a creamy consistency. It applies easily and gets absorbed quickly with no greasy residue left behind. I usually apply the sun block on my moisturized face and on the areas that will be exposed to the sun. It has been recommended by the company to apply the sun block 15-30 minutes before sun exposure. The sun block makes my skin soft, smooth and gives a slightly mattifying finish. It is oil free, PABA free, waterproof, sweat proof. It doesn’t make my skin oily for a long time.
Setting it up with a powder ensures longer stay of the product on oily skin. It doesn’t feel heavy or give whitish cast to my face unlike other sun blocks. Since it is non comedogenic, it doesn’t cause any adverse effect on my skin. The sun block is meant to be reapplied frequently, but I avoid reapplying it when I wear makeup. I have not faced any major tanning issues whilst using this sun block.

Cons of VLCC Glow + Sun Block Lotion:
- No nothing at all
This is one of the best sun blocks I have ever used. It does what it claims. It protects my skin from getting burned or tanned through its high SPF content. It is oil free, PABA free, water proof and sweat proof. It doesn’t make my skin oily or greasy. It doesn’t give whitish cast to my skin and really worked well on my oily, acne prone skin without breaking it out. I shall highly recommend it to everyone.
