Sunscreen Review: Kate Somerville Daily Deflector Moisturizer SPF 50 PA+++

RATING: SPF 50 + and PA +++

COST: $48 (1.7oz) 

PHYSICAL OR CHEMICAL: 100% Chemical Actives: 3% avobenzone, 10% homosalate
5% octosalate, 2% octocrylene, 6% oxybenzone

STING: YES it did sting my eyes.

WHITE CAST: It does NOT have white cast. But when you over application it will reflect white in that area.

DRY DOWN: It does NOT DRY DOWN IN 20 MINUTES OR LESS. It takes over an hour for the oily finish to dry down.

WRINKLES: It does NOT settle in wrinkles.

SMELL: Yes, It has slight classic sunscreen odor.

MAKEUP: It wears beautifully under make up.

ENDURANCE: It lasts on the face all day.

FINAL THOUGHTS: If you are in the market for a high end sunscreen, nothing is ~wrong~ with this choice. It provides excellent protection, and has a more mild reaction than other chemical sunscreens. Still, I wouldn't apply in the eye area. It is good combination with mineral sunscreen around my eyes and my face on rainy days.
