Sunscreen Review: Dr Ci:Labo UV & White Moisture Milk SPF 50+ PA++++

Ingredients (Good): Niacinamide, Resveratrol, Collagens, Hyaluronic Acid, Ceramide, Vitamin E, Plant Extract

Ingredients (Bad): Ensulizole, which is known to create free radicals in the presence of sunlight and has been shown to cause cancer mutations in vitro. 

Ratings: SPF 50+ PA++++

Cost/Value: $41-$83 (60ml) depending on where you buy it 

It did NOT smell.

It did NOT sting my eyes.

It DOES leave a slight white cast on skin due to the small amount of ZInc Oxide. 

It did NOT gather in my wrinkles.

This is Combination Sunscreen with active ingredients Octinoxate, Zinc Oxide, Octisalate, Ensulizole, Uvinul A Plus, Uvinul T-150 and Tinosorb-S. 

It DOES wear well under make-up. It has a very elegant texture and looks beautiful under make-up.

It DOES dries down in 10 minutes to completely sheer finish.

It has a very thin consistency and did not last well throughout the day. Not a good sunscreen for long hours, direct sunlight or exercising.

It has a milky texture and blends out completely sheer with slight white cast.

This is really elegant finish that would work for almost any skin type. I don't think it will over-emphasize texture on dry skin, and I don't think that it will do anything to help mattify oily skin. I would not recommend this sunscreen because of the ensulizole and the high price, but you could definitely do worse.
