I bought the "Lucent" formula after reading the reviews on this site. I'm so glad I did. The first time I used it I wasn't so sure it was for me; seemed a bit too drying. Decided to try it again...

I had been eagerly awaiting Sofina SPF 50+ Perfect UV Lucent in the mail from Hong Kong. My sister leant me some Shiseido Body/Face SPF 55 which I found too heavily perfumed. The Shiseido was also...

Initially, I hated this because it seemed to make my pores clog up every time I used it. I am not normally acne prone, and this was the only new item in my skin care routine, so it seemed that it...

Very nice and light sunblock, much better than the heavily scented Shiseido. My only complaint is that it can be drying and smells slightly of alcohol. I love that it has no fragrance and doesn't...

I first started using sunscreen regularly in my late 20's. I first tried the US d/s brands but they all looked greasy on me and broke me out. So, after reading some reviews on here, I decided to...
