The L’oreal UV Perfect 12 Hour Longlasting UV Protector perfectly hydrates and protects your skin against the UV rays, brown spots, skin darkening and premature ageing and contains an optimised UVA / UVB protection filtering system tailor made for asian prototypes. Enriched with a powerful Anti-Oxidant Complex and Activa-Cell to reinforce protection against free radicals and better shield cells, elastin and collagen fibers. Of course, not forgetting this product comes with Mexoryl Filters too!

Size : 30 ml , Price – 450 /- INR , I picked this from stylecraze for 425/- INR , you can even find this in most of the Health and Glow stores and L’oreal counters in Shoppers Stop and Lifestyle . It is exclusive to Asia , Australia and New Zealand .

I was looking for a sunscreen when I spotted this and read good reviews for this all over Internet . There are 3 versions and I picked “EVEN COMPLEXION ” which is tinted and hence is a good alternate for TM . My main concern was , the greasiness sunscreen leaves behind and the white cast if I take pictures .

It has SPF 50 but still there is no white cast when I take pictures and above all my combination to oily skin never had any issues even if am sweating in sun or roaming outside , it holds up to its expectations and makes my skin looking perfect .

The texture is little runny and little too light ( almost light beige in color ) as compared to my favorite TM (PONDS) , but again I love the finish and moreover the white cast which most of the sunscreens give is absolute no no for me and it is savior for sure .

It comes in 30 ml sleek and sturdy tube packaging which is easy to use and is hygienic as well . I love the long nozzle and how it controls the product even if you press the tube hard .

I use this as soon as I apply my toner and skip the moisturizer as it is good enough for my skin , it just brightness up my face and gives that soft dewy effect . I f you have dry skin you might need a teeny tiny moisturizer before applying this .

I am getting the other two versions as soon as I finish this off , not to mention this is going to be staple in my stash as long as L’oreal is manufacturing this .

An added bonus is – IT has MEXORYL and this is what I found in Internet :

Mexoryl™ SX (also known as Ecamsule) is made by L’Oreal with the French company La Roche-Posay, and according to their website it is “the most effective FDA-approved organic filter designed to protect against short UVA rays (maximum absorption at 344nm) with high photostability, a key factor in sunscreen protection efficacy.” (1) Photostability means the sunscreen will maintain UVA protection longer and not degrade on exposure to sunlight.

 

 

 

And this is how it looks on me : The pic is taken after 2 hrs of applying it
